They Run mainly through FOH. their stage volume is almost non existent. Sounds Awesome farther back but up close you see how really quiet it is up on stage. Smart for them sucks for people right up front.
The Sound Man should be shot, what a mess, I can hear what it should have
sounded like, not their best perfomance but I'm sure it would sound much better with an engineer who had at least listened to the big layered sound of the album at least once.
For anyone wanting the lastest info on any tour dates and more about Curt go to Curt Smith site. Just google him to get to the site - Curt is also on Facebook and Twitter. He loves sharing info with TFF fans. Roland does not have a site yet. It's rumored that he will but I just checked and no site for Mr. RO yet... bummer. In the meantime plz feel free to check out Curt's site anytime or contact him any of the other sites listed.
Yeah this wasn't very good. Not much keyboards. Seemed much more guitar-driven rather than a nice blend of both. I think the problem here is obvious. Roland looks like he is going through the motions and I think Charlton's guitar playing has a lot to do with it.
tragic. What the f*ck ?? I agree, Roland is just going through the motions...folks, I garantee you that there are much better versions of 'Shout' out there. find 'em. And lord, bless this band, and may they come back stronger than ever!
Um, I love TFF as much as anyone, but this is pretty lousy, like bad karaoke. Where is the beat, the oomph, that heavy slower groove that made this tune so unique? The tempo is rushed and Roland and Curt seem to be going through the motions.
Did you go to the concert at the OC fairgrounds when they had the helicopter come down low overhead and put the spotlight on the stage and announce them ?? I'm trying to see if anyone has the footage of that !!
I didn't say that to start a Roland vs Curt war. I'm saying that I could watch frame 1:59 over and over again with McDreamy's, er I mean, Curt's butt.
Yeah I was just going to say that Roland looks like he's put on a little weight here. But you know what? It doesn't matter how much weight Roland puts on or takes off he's still Roland.
I just listened to Disturbed's version and it's just a version that fits todays music but the message is the same.....if you take Disturbed's version back to 84 it would be completely out of place but bring Tears version to the future and it remains powerful....a testament to a great song.
Check out Curt's ass at 1:59. Oh gosh! Frances Pennington is a very lucky lady to be attached to the hip of a man who has such a shapely ass like that. L.O.L.
Fun to know who's got the original... but, still. Disturbed's version is SO much better.. this is just so dead, the song has much more potensial than they are showing here, they don't give it no strenght... =P (though this is my opinion)
Well yeah, it's live and in they weren't in their prime like they were 20 + years ago. I havent heard disturbeds version but im just saying. What I hate is people who say rammsteins version of Depeche Mode's stripped is better than the original!
im a fan since i was 13... and since i got into this bad and learn more about them and realize orzabal and smith separate after the tour of "Seeds of Love" T.F.F still sounds awesome but its not the same without Smith...
Thats what I'm hoping for too! Bad for me though.Curt lives in US but I don't know if Roland likes touring US much.Seems I read that somewhere.Maybe they will do something though.Looks like they did some fairs & stuff this summer,but they where mostly in California.(Too bad for me again,I'm on East Coast!)
I'm in the middle of Ontario so it's bad for me too. They must have wanted to see what the response to their new music would be? It looks to me like they got a pretty damned good response.
these guys rock I'm so glad they're back together but i still wish looked the same like he did in the 80's all well I'm not gonna quit listening to them though
Yes i must agree, if you watch the live version in california on Youtube (Tears For Fears - Shout (Live) , you will see a huge difference in the quality of his voice. He has (or had)such a strong voice, checkout Badmans Song live, the best ive ever seen them perform.
They've still got their GROOVE!!!! Love u Roland and Curt I will never forget you....your music has changed the world!!! It has changed the way I think about things!!! My perspective of life!! Thank you!! I will die the day I forget you!! True music! Tears for Fears!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Girl,no i wasn't there but i thing ill be the second-biggest Fan from TFF after U lol. What i mean is the Beginning of the Song. It is a great Band and my favorit Song
Yeah.............I'm literally sitting in my room laughing!! I mean I watched this really old interview with TFF, and now I watch this and i feel sad and idk..........Curt and Roland are soooo weird but hiilarious!! the music rocks the world!!!
At first it seemed like a stupid imitation to me, but then I realized it was the real thing. But they really, really mean a lot to me so it's not like they were horrible, its just that, they could've had a better sound system there! It sounded like Curt's microphone was turned off! They've still got their groove, but I have to admit, Roland's waving his hand in the air or whatever he was doing was a little wacky! But I still love them!
Yeah, I knew about those two songs. It was terrible at the time. Obviously Roland was delivering his "How do you sleep" to Curt. They're human beings aren't they, entitled to have their own shortcomings, don't u think. Happily they're together again.

"..We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorsice our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails ..."( Fish out of Water -Roland)
"...I'm a regicidal fool
Who'd change your face
But change would just improve
Boy you looked so sad!.... (Sun King -Curt )
Thanks God they are together again..!!
