Paul Carrack - How Long ( live 2004 )

[wrf1973]

Is that Mike Rutherford on the gray Strat (in the foreground at 2:12)?

[TheKingofthejungle12]

@wrf1973 Yep that is Mike.

[krdaniel01]

I love this performance, even the back up singers sounded great.

[LordMumia]

Classic

[TooCute1890]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on an ice cream commercial years ago. I love this live version more that the studio version, but they are both great. I miss down-right good singing like this.

[triemana]

Este loco es un geeenio! Su voz me acompaña desde niña!

[72milesman]

This songs perfectly describes the kind of day I'm having.......

[dannyd1572]

I read where he wrote this about another band member who had been coaxed into leaving to join another band. Kind of neat he turned it around into more of a love-cheating kind of song.

[SNAKEEYESSAM]

great video!!!!

[sambo2304]

amazing song and a great voice

[aj4als]

SRATpack? does he play one?

[violinek5]

UWIELBIAM....gdy słucham zawsze mam w sercu i w oczach MOJEGO SYNA

[malukutiger]

THANKS FOR SHARING. XXX

[utubejunkie2010]

What a stellar voice.I`ve always been a fan.

[jonaggod]

Is Wembley Arena the same as Wembley Stadium ?

[MezMezMez1]

This is the first song Paul Carrack ever wrote. And it is excellent!!!

[Wilna109]

I love love this song and no-one does it like Paul!

[TWMAN454]

An already great song.....EVEN BETTER LIVE !!!!!! This song's been a long time fav of mine and will continue to be. Thanx for posting this.

[satin123]

Genial - thx for this vid...;)

[zorgen12]

Wow! He still has it! What a great voice. Totally cool.

[blueleadguitar]

I saw him live in Kings Lynn in 2010. The show was fantastic. Paul is an unbelievable singer and musician. He's also very unselfish as he gave 2 of his backing singers/ muscians their own songs to sing. How many of today's 'so called' stars will still be singing 30 - 40 years later??

[MezMezMez1]

@blueleadguitar I totally agree with you. I have seen Paul Carrack live four times and he is still amazing - in fact, I thought the last concert I went to (February 2011 at Codagon Hall, London) was the best!

[HighwayHunkie]

Wow.. with Mike Rutherford :) Great Video! Thank You!

[brybeccachar]

@HighwayHunkie Pino Paladino on the bass yo!

[monietz]

Six people have wasted their time by watching something they wouldn't appreciate to begin with...

[bvg83]

wow.. the same great voice, i watched at the 70's vid he looked very fine to me

[goddess1luv]

Great backup singers!!!

[Hanzi63]

He is an ACE !

[sturoc0]

Love it when musicians from way different backgrounds collaborate on old hits like this. Just look at Mike R groovin on this one !

[america1125]

still sings great!!

[kattebak2]

moooooi!

[brushes2]

Does any one know who the drummer is in this video.

[Colinl3052]

@brushes2 Ian Thomas, one of the UK's most 'in demand' session men.

[seanr521]

class A.in my arrogant opinionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[MsCookieJay]

this song has made a young girl very nostalgic. thank god for my parents music

[folderjock]

not heard this song in a long time FANTASTIC

[dijufos]

What a jam

[wonkeywombat]

fuckin pure quality

[drivingrain1]

Paul could sing the phone book and I'd buy it. What a great voice!

[shutixa]

@drivingrain1 Amen to that!

[dannyd1572]

@drivingrain1 You know who I wouldn't pay to sing the phone book? Bob Dylan.

[drivingrain1]

Paul could sing the phone book and I'd by it. What a great voice!

[455Transam]

Paul Carrick/Phil Collins...twin sons from different Mothers!! LOL!!

BTW....What's with the Commie hat Paul??

[dannyd1572]

All you kids pay attention to this. This is music! None of your Justin Beibers and all that other manufactured music compares to this.

[doughnut555]

@dannyd1572

i'm fifteen and i completely agree.

[lb4rb1]

Fantastic voice, still as good today as at launch. Thanks.

[cigarhall]

I have no words... Genius!!!

[tubbybasset]

Look at all those beautiful strats, this is like porno for me. Paul has an amazing voice check out his vocal perfomance in "Hey You" in the The Wall - Berlin, it is mindblowing

[greggerf]

My first record was a K-TEL album and this song, as well as Skyhigh by Jigsaw were on it. Great music!



[PureEXCELLANCE]

This is such a classic song!!!! Great guitar & lyrics

[onegiraffe]

It's been going on over 30 years!!! This dude rocks!!! I have to ask how many of today's "artists" will be entertaining people 30 years from now?

[AcornsAndAntlers]

his voice is beyond amazing.

[SuperWanderingshadow]

its kinda gratifying to fine an old song ,its ,like opening a door of minds memorys ,a time capsule if you will

[briantfenton]

classic....he still sounds the same from the 70's.........B

[wen790]

this guy has a great great voice

[StixH]

Ian Thomas on drums.

[adindin]

Great song, great voice!!!

[HoosierDaDa]

One of my favorites from '74 with ACE and Paul!

[306bad]

Well the thousands of people that see PC every week will tell you that he is brilliant.

I am one of those thousands, saw him at the winding wheel in Chesterfield at the start of the year and we have our tickets for the gig at the Sheffield City Hall in December.

A Paul Carrick gig is great , just let your ears do all the work.. How long and many other classics are rolled out with affection, highly recommended

[HizBigLancelot]

Love it

[Filekmf]

sure it's Mike Rutherford it's for he's name the Mike And The Mechanics ;)

[jmjk63]

what is the bass players name ?

[andybalmford]

@jmjk63 I think it's Mike Rutherford?

[musicrayc]

@jmjk63  Pino Palladino..

[rstretch100]

@jmjk63

at first glance I think the bass player on this performance is Pino Palladino (he's every where)

[burritojack]

This guy does a great job with the solo

[BossgameMedia]

Timeless!

[zapfenstreich1]

thank god for paul Carrack

[beachy1965]

what a gem of a song and Paul sounds so amazing.

[4beatlefans]

I saw him play this live in Dorchester about 1974!!!! Still love it, love it, love it!!

[Stoutitout]

I want a Fiesta Red P-Bass!

[tall32guy]

Haha! Check out Pino on the bass! :) And apparently Mike Rutherford from Genesis on the guitar. :)

[michellevienna]

what a fantastic voice.....still at this age!

[ClassicTVMan81]

If anyone has Mike & Paul doing "I Can't Dance" from this special, please upload.

[albatrosseable]

best version is with john hiatt and nick lowe rockpalast. not available

[readynow12345]

Pauls put on a fews pounds, its seems that age & weight go hand & hand..

[jetskidrummer]

Backing vocals are great.

[Memmorandumi]

good to know he can still play/sing. that was actually pretty good.

[kalmanizer]

First time hearing this song and I LOVE it! :)

I am a HUGE fan of the band called Mike and the Mechanics and I believe that Paul Carrack was/is the lead singer in the band.

[Melbaycanela]

how long has this been going on...

cool song-.-

[bjarnebenz]

This is super from these guyes

[MrMonzaGse]

The Best Preformer, great songs, hope he will come back to the Netherlands

[volkwino]

What a great songer and songwriter!!

[eagleworks13]

[eagleworks13]

[standenberg]

Thank God for youtube.

A really great song, and good quality footage too. Thanks bfly58.

[TooCute1870]

@standenberg I couldn't agree with you more!

[bfly58]

I have seen Paul 4 time`s here in the netherlands...he gets better each time !!

Heard this song in 1977 for the first time and it`s still GREAT !!

[306bad]

Glad to be in good company, I was spell bound the whole gig in Chesterfield in February,

My bro the Music man saw him in Holmfirth bought the DVD, "I know that name" then went to see Muse at the Arena in Sheffield, When I told him i was planning to see Paul Carrack in Chesterfield a few week later he insisted on going to see Paul again, Gave me the DVD to look at before the show.

Cant Get "Eyes of Blue" Out of my head, what a song as they all are.

Mirrwood - the Girls Name is Lindsay Dracass

[ganspernanthy]

one of the best songs of the 70's.

[GrinchandMax]

Very cool

[mirrwood]

seen him in glasgow on tues nite the girl singer was brill and so was he

[rockmonster5000]

Oh my God... I'm going to see him tonight !!! WOOOO !!!

[senorbellaco]

Ok, so by now you saw him, so tell us how it was.

[rockmonster5000]

It was one of the best gigs I've been to.The man is incredibly talented and that band were amazing. Me and my friends got to meet him after the show too, that was pretty cool. He's a really sound guy.

[mtls1ss]

Fucking amazing! Paul you rock!

[Razz11thHr]

Hammond B3 Rules!!!

[vindicari]

silly fekker forgot to play the keyboard as the song started. miming. lip synch

[Diskatopia]

He was playing the organ part at the start, not piano (see about :19 to :25), and probably through the whole tune, while singing lead... had a backup piano player (see 1:56).

[whatziznem]

are you nuts!!, That was no lip synching at all. He has an incredible voice and is a real performer.

[SpitinChicklets]

Cool to see Rutherford but, who's the other guitar player ?

[tbanish27]

Phil Palmer, he played with Clapton for a few years during the /journeyman time

[SpitinChicklets]

@tbanish27 Hey, thanks for the info and taking time to respond. Peace dude .  Out.

[claudiaweerstand]

great song...

[72milesman]

[72milesman]

Sorry about askin about where to find the hat. Love the music but also liked the hat.

[DorsetRed1]

I have hat ike that. Got it in Turkey.

[Jgeneraledger23]

Some of the best blue-eyed soul you're gonna find.

[tjerwin1]

Awesome seeing the original threesome from Mike +The Machanics together. Mike Rutherford, Paul Young and The terrific vocals of Paul Carrack. I have been a fan for so long since Ace and thank you very much for uploading.

[72milesman]

Where can I get a hat like that?

[kblopp]

Great Brittain

[ranwnye]

Dude, this isn't about hats.

[express49]

[PRUSA51]

[granitefinder]

Good to see Genesis' Mike Rutherford in there!

[QVXS77]

Fantastic

[alonzoashanti]

Great Song i always love this track

[FredONeil1]

his voice is one in a million , great band too

[briantfenton]

paul and mike rutherford....ahhhhh...does life get any better than this.........i love it......peace....B

[loj2911]

Paul sounds even better now then he did back in the day if that is even possible. A pure totally underrated talent!

[astrozytom2]

Oh yeah, I saw Paul yesterday. Open air in Germany on that beautiful summer evening. He was great as everything. His voice so unbelievably and like noone else - always directly recognizable. And the band: Guitar, bass, Sax, Trumpet, drums, 2 keys and a piano...and a background singer. What a picture: every band member in office clothes with tie, except Paul with jeans and a jacket. The only thing that I missed that evening: All I need is a miracle.....

[GTM57]

WOW!....Brilliant Paul!...love your voice & have always loved this song.... you still got it...cheers!

[pattire]

Brilliant...Genesis man, Mike Rutherford is even there on guitar!

[drndos]

this one i HD would be perfect

[TheDashToo]

All ways Loved This Tune. The Man Still has The Soul An Melody In His voice Great. TheDashToo

[drndos]

do mikes mechanics still exsist ?

[twixencarel]

Saw the concert yesterday in Arnhem Netherlands (18-07-2009) the were the greatest!

[mdobbe]

hoi wij ook, Eagles waren onwijs goed maar Paul Carrack deed niet onder voor ze. Hoop op een concert van hun in Nederland, groetjes..Joyce

[briantfenton]

very great song.......the great songwriting is perfection..........B

[imdacht]

his voice is just as smooth as it was in the 70's

[blueleadguitar]

great song, I was 11 when this originally came out, I still love it!

[ladyskyya]

Paul Carrack is great. This is one of my all time favorites.

[r1skate]

This is what an updated song from the 70's will sound like in the millenium! If today's technology was around then, today's artists would be put to shame. in my opinion they already are (except a few). What a GREAT key!

[tractorlad1]

saw gary moore in april what a load if rubbish he was

[towersje]

He was supporting the Eagles, this was the first song of the night. And it was awesome!

[lekezenman]

Why wonder why Mike Rutherford accepted to bass this song...?

If you respect people ,you' might have to know them down-to -the-ground-first- and keep-your-head-up-high-out-of-­the-muddy-waters....

[lekezenman]

How long?

How long ...has this "thing" been going on?

ACE , the name of the group ,sir.

Try not to EASILY--blind-see-self-fooling misunderstand a word of this!

Don't you want to grow up a MAN by LEARNING!

I do it....everyday...

Bernard Belgium

[mad62]

Brilliant song. I hear he is supporting the Eagles at Glasgow Saturday 4th July. Good job I have tickets !!

[coverdale20]

Very nice live performance. True to the original recording and it shows that music must be done with heart.

[SONOR4]

Paul Carrack a true musician - without the ego of so many. Fantastic.

[tuttt99]

Paul Carrack is the MAN!

[jaggermorrison2009]

sounds as good as it did in 74, the man still has a great voice

[briantfenton]

perfection in every word........B

[felsner1]

Love those keys...

[mikey85essex]

if i could sing like anyone it would be paul carrack

[bob27044]

You got it mikey. I've been a professional musician for a long time. and he's who I'd like to sound like. One of the only guys that I'd put in the same league, at least with bluesy stuff, is Greg Allman.

[doremi5002]

great performance

[fcernig33]

and Mike Rutherford to boot

[r1skate]

No "Mechanics?"

[tuttt99]

Paul Carrack was around and had many hits WAY before there even *was* a "Mike and the Mechanics"!!

[r1skate]

No comment except Thanks! I say that because your reply made me come look at this gem of a video again. Reply later and you'll make me come back again - I hope. Oh & this may actually be better than the original. It has so so much feel to it. What a gem of song.

Thanks again! (for real). I REALLY mean it!

[Sybenett]

78' baby.

[Hgclaw]
