Ultravox Hymn Live

[paullavan2011]

They were different times - the way they dressed then didn't mean that they were cocoa-shunters.

[wyattgarp]

Midge looks like he's starring in a porno film called "I'm a Lumberjack and I am Gay." Chris looks like a cop who would love to frisk another man. Billy also looks a bit homozexual. The only straight-looking one in the group is the drummer!

[hajo2503]

THX a lot for upload. I visited the concert. It was 1983 (or 82?) in Dortmund.

[ImmunityZONE900]

Great song. I recommend checking out the band lunatica. They do a fantastic cover of this.

[BlackSkyThunder]

Fucking great the audience!! Was this in Germany?? I am satisfied that many people could appreciate that fantastic music from one of the best groups of the 80's; watching this I regret not being born 15 years before (I was born in 81') However 80's music has always been in my heart!

[scatmanwfm]

Holy shit I didn't know Ed Norton had a band!

[Starful21]

@scatmanwfm Great!!! Lol!! They really look alike!

[DrJones06]

great and unforgetable...Thanks for sharing!!!

[Voltabulous]

one of my favourite songs EVER!

[josepreus]

For me is the best song of this band. I love it.

Ultravox hymn forever!!!!!!!

[BitAnBobs]

That crowd was brilliant. Well into the music! Would have been great to be there in the atmosphere.

[nomoresorrow101]

Great Song!

[KingIgorros]

Power and glory for ULTRAVOX!!! great!!!

[penetrator9]

the power....

[pudrick1]

This was their best song on their Return to Eden tour

[psiborg999]

Great to See and Hear this song again!

thanks for the upload! :D

[antoniocampanelli]

Ultra Vox is History, thanks to this kind of people today Brities are the best in the world for contemporary music

[thinwall81]

the clapping is a distraction and gets to be annoying after a while!!

[thinwall81]

only the great British public would buy a song called "shadupa your face"..and Vienna only reached #2..the rest is history!!

[bunniesonprozac]

What's with all the clapping? Makes it sound like some dance track.

[funkster37]

the germans clap to much

[Cougari72]

Ultravox under John Foxx or Midge Ure has always been great. Not Sure of the 1990's version of Ultravox! Looking forward to seeing the 80's line up on tour later this year! (2009)

[josepreus]

I love this song!!!!! The music in the middle of third minute of the video is magnificent!!!

Probably I could say that´s my favourite song.synth-pop forever!!!

[hellraisersteve]

Another Ultravox song that should have been No.1 at the time,i still to this day can't understand how Vienna was not No.1!!!!!

[funkster37]

shud up aya face lol

[mgk1064]

Midge is so cool...Live Aid and all of this great music...Midge, where are you now?

[funkster37]

touring again next april ULTRAVOX

[staffy777]

odr752 dont wish your time away

[odracir1986]

I like the version made by "Lunatica" - Hymn

anyway that's cool

[PenisMcWherter]

I gave it a go, but maybe I'm getting old. For me, the Lunatica version sounds very fussy and artificial, even if I quite like the pace and energy of it. Dätwyler's vocals lack any real feeling. Plus, it lacks the "faithless in faith, we must behold the things we see" line which (for me) is pivotal. Mind you, I quite like some of Lunatica's other stuff.

Ultravox's version has those rich analogue synths & Midge Ure gives his all. It wins. But has anyone else done a decent/interesting cover.

[Damian19921992]

I just love the guitar part at 3:13.

[buhonival]

Yeah, it sounds great, but it's not a guitar. Watch the video.  That's Billy Curry on his Moog.

[jbordas]

Is that a Moog? It looks more like an ARP Odissey.

[buhonival]

yeah...I think you are right about the Odissey...could probably be played on a guitar...but Curry is one of a kind...

[Tazz77]

Currie was known for his solos on the ARP Odyssey. In 84 he switched to the OScar.

[bond0023]

get a girlfriend Stoker, you have too much time on your hands (other than for w+#@king)

[stoker10]

jejejeje typical fan hysterical reaction

[backspace342]

que des bons souvenirs, et tjrs autant de plaisir a ecouter,les annees passent ,la qualite reste..

[drprecious]

Ultravox great band they were too much ahead; some 20 years and they were great musicians

Love them. I listen to them actually

[buhonival]

Best version of this song here on YouTube. This bad was highly underrated. Midge Ure is one of a kind. He may not have the pipes he once had, but everyone knows the words and helps him out.

[Britdrumphil]

Outstanding band, sadly and criminally under-rated.They should have been much more successful,considering they wrote brilliant songs AND had the Freemason symbol on the front of the Quartet Aalbum,LOL!!

[sparkymarky2112]

Sing this live - bloody near killed me every time I did it. Sinking to my knees at the end was not drama, it was exhaustion!!!

[martin6777]

best audience 4ever

[bullet0657]

BILLIE CURRIE IS AWSOME

[Necesitounanenaya]

It´s impressive, both the band (especially, the singer) and the hot audience...

I wish I´d attended that concert!!!!

[IanCurtis007]

Amazing how he sings this song live, not the easiest song to perform live.

[RedflowsRubicon]

I remember listening to this song as I was a little girl of three years. This and a few more of those 80s bands changed my life forever. It is one of the greatest bands and one of the best songs ever written. I was born in 86. I envy those of you that had the chance of living in this time!

[odr752]

I'm also born in 86 (such a bad year for the hard Vox fans, I must say)

I agree everything that you say :) I wish I would have been born maybe in final 60's or beginning of the 70's to listen live this up.

[RedflowsRubicon]

Unfortunnately we can't have everything. At least we listen to it XD unlike the others who don't know what they miss.

[odr752]

True... so true :')

[Selfmadegirl]

my favorite ultravox song :) it's great

[tessin77]

I think they play it too fast live all the time. Even now Midge play it too fast in his solo concerts. I prefer it in normal rhytm. One of the best songs of 80`s.

[mancmark37]

This is the best song we ever did. Period. They should have used this gig for the Monument video. I think the quality in sound and vision are fab. Think the Hammersmith odeon is a bit dark

[Talibrava]

nice presentation, i haven't see this song live before. Midge Ure is the best!!

[Polyphemus]

Ultravox's Hymn to Satan!

[paulrio]

midge ure...cool guy

[woschinski]

Ahhh never mind, here it is! Thank you!

[ungeist]

as far as i know this concert was in dortmund may 1983...

[ovitch]

great song

[siropik]

Great song (it was released for the first time in 1983). Great concert too!

[bluenose622000]

this is my favourite ultravox song of all time

[swe1969]

I saw them on TV december 1981 from a concert in Dortmund with a lot of great bands like A flock of Seagulls, The Cure and Nena. Especially the one with A flock of Seagulls was amazing (you can find it here on Youtube). This is probably from around the same time and as far as I know this is from Germany also.

[bluenose622000]

seen them twice in 82 in liverpool and manchester...fantastic

[bluenose622000]

Where was this concert and when

[ingenious4t]

As far as I know its in Germany and approx 1982
