Such an underrated band...this live version is riveting...nice accompaniment to the work day.

[Max1baL]

¡Extraordinario tema de China Crisis!

Extraordinary China Crisis tune!

[anthonynaughton1]

amazing piece of music before i go to bed on a saturday night half pissed.

[spikerooney011]

not bad for a bunch of Scousers.

[gabsmabs]

it's good because it IS a bunch of scousers matey

[spikerooney011]

haha - it was just a throwaway comment - I love this band!

[melfan1968]

only the best comes out of Liverpool, this band included ... seriously though how many famous people/bands have come out of Liverpool !!! Go scousers !

[COLONEL961]

lennonwas a genius.-but maccartney is shyte

[JayFal68]

I remember these from my childhood. I'm from Liverpool so they were well known here. They're on the Mathew Street festival here and I'm going to see them. Should be really good.

[lukepaul72]

im jealous

[LeeLee885]

Just watched them at the Whatfest near Northwich in Cheshire over the weekend and they were awesome.

[cooks95]

The one flaw in this thing is the camera work- what the hell's wrong with the person shooting this? The guitar solo was great and the camera guy just blows it off. But the song's excellent- I loved these guys

[exiledscouser08]

gazza fell asleep pissed as a rat in my house in Old Swan more than once during the 1980s.....top geezer!!!!!! ..

[natschavez]

i'm 36 and the first time i heard this was orgazmic, fukkin band.

[Beyond13337]

I am 46 years old.

´Been a fan since early days.

Saw them live once in Stockholm...

Favo song:xD

[HouseAbruzzo]

One of my top 100 tracks of all times !

[littlepebble2]

Now, there are three active Pope.

Pope John Paul II - mysticaly slept in April 2005, just like Lazarus -, present Pope Benedict XVI, and "the Little Pebble" i.e. Pope Little Peter Abraham II.

[sapper786]

It's a song....................

[sapper786]

Sorry all, this was supposed to be a comment to a half-wit remark by another poster. Hit the wrong button!

[inoman]

this is simply fantastic! whats the Title of the DVD and where can I purchase one?

[sapper786]

China Crisis 'Wishful Thinking'

Live In Concert

Available through Amazon for £2.50ish!

[Beyond13337]

Cudos Inoman

This is awesome!

[sapper786]

I have just again listened to this rendition, and I can honestly say it is far better than the original produced in the studio (and on cassette!)

[Tenochtitlan2012]

I agree with sapper786. Great group!

[foxfac007]

The Chinas are playing a gig at the Guildhall in CHESTER on 19th March 2009. Tickets still available.

[ariovis]

Dios!! como los quisiera ver en mi isla (Tenerife, Canary Islands) buenísimos, tan buenos hoy como ayer

[lyallbaybum69]

Can't believe i managed to let this band slip me by!

Wonderful.

[Beyond13337]

Music and relations for Normal people!

[kempini]

PERFECT!!!

[sapper786]

I grew up alongside this band in my youth. This 'live' rendition is fantastic. I never knew they were this good! I'll be looking at their up-coming live shows!!!

[korikong3]

excellent.superb.awesome.

[partizanartist]

playing the cavern next friday 7/11/08

[designlikemad]

who is the king in a catholic style????

[wildenfree]

Heres a band, who are professional, cool and confident

and they aren't arrogant like some other bands are.

I saw them support O.M.D. two nights ago and was impressed, they all looked like they were having a good time, which makes a nice change.

[siasti]

They haven't had any hits in years. Given their obvious talent, you have to wonder why.

[wildenfree]

Yeah, your right, I dunno, fashions move on and bands get left behind. But when you stop and think about it, when was the last time The Rolling Stones were in the charts with a hit. I think these days that the charts are pretty much redundant anyway. Bands can make a career just through the internet etc. Some of the worst music is actually the stuff in the charts anyway.Bands like Quo have been churning out the same old stuff for years anyway.

But yeah it would be nice to hear new stuff,

[marymungoandmidge]

@wildenfree OMG!! are they still around and touring? they are brilliant!!

where did u see them?

chestyxx

[wildenfree]

@marymungoandmidge Hi Ya, saw em in London, Shepherds Bush I think.

They still tour..set up a google alert or subscribe to Ents as an alert and they will tell you when they are touring. They are playing Liverpool this year, thought thats a bit far from me. Go see em.

[marymungoandmidge]

@wildenfree yeah, thanks, i live in london too!! wud love to see them live!! theyre still fantastic!! chestyxx

[stiffler341]

what an outstanding performance they gave at the echo arena last night. looking forward to seeing them next time around. great songs, great preformance and great band.

[stiffler341]

looking forward to seeing them at the echo arena tomorrow, still as good as they were all those years ago

[simon07904]

just been to see them in newcastle supporting omd,,,,they were better than omd,,,superb,,,

[sniper6971]

accoustic session superb

[aliere08]

sounds like gone daddy gone by gnarls barkely

[CARPENTERXXXL]

As they say nowdays CHOOOOOOON.I am 40 and still remember it like yesterday,the 80's rocked no R@B SH1T TO CONTEND WITH.

[2withtheuniverse]

same age...same greatness still. yep!

[wildenfree]

100 per cent agree -where have all the good tunes gone!

[babyevey]

Wow! Great version of a great song. When I bought this album 22 years ago, it was classified as "alternative," but it's so much more sophisticated - both in arrangement and musicianship - than what was considered that genre. In retrospect I would call it "rock," like Steely Dan and Aztec Camera. Brilliant!

[humbalang]

Spot on babyevey!

[Beyond13337]

Saw them live at a club called Melody in Stockholm late 80`s.

Was standing on a staircase wherefrom i could see the setlist by the keyboardist.

Was a huge fan and really enjoyed the performance, great band live!

[lukepaul72]

best thing one the whole tube

[TONYOPSUFO]

Not seen this one before, superb thank you for the posting !!!!

[Miguel1962]

don't get live performances like this anymore, quality!!!

[flemwad]

CC are soooo good..thx for posting

[lesleyr25]

I'm a Liverpool girl (well very grown up now), and bought this as a 7" picture disc when first released (remember pic discs .. well if you do...god you are old ?!) A song always to have a place in my heart, & sought on youtube for a while, and now there's a few postings of it .. which is just wonderful!!

Still an indie babe at heart, youtube is great to re-visit songs and proper bands long forgotten (in some cases)- and although now nearly 40, the girl (I hope!)..still rocks..!! Enjoy .....

[Speedogreedo1]

I love you!

[ENTEL3CHY]

this song is top, its now one of my favourite songs, never heard it before until finding video.  Its well funky, does anyone know the meanings behind the song? I guess its about positivity.

[Nomad110371]

Most excellent.

[eluvian]

bought this album when the kids were young we all danced to this song--still do !

love it !

great posting
