I dont care for Sugarland's version either.They do try,but I agree that only Dream Academy can do this justice. I still prefer the original video for this song,..with all the footage of driving along roads n that.It's beautiful.

That backing singer looks suspiciously like Aimee Mann.

is this SNL?

@Imegahan i agree. Performance was fantastic!
-
Kate St. John is the hottest!!! What I wouldn't give for a hot date with her!! oh, I love this song too!
-
Great song-fantastic performance. Loved the English Horn, Cello and the percussionist in his partial philharmonic costume with turqouise cumberbun. Lukewarm audience. Didn't seem to know what they were watching. Great era for music, unlike now...Thanks for the posting!
-
The performers gave so much more than the audience did in their applause. Too bad, because the performance itself was off the charts!
-
You noticed the "real" instruments too. What I'm noticing more and more, on my trip down memory lane, is just how many "real" instruments actually were utilized, during this era of music. A great deal of horn work. Nice.
-
who's the hot flutist?
-
good from first note to last thanks for this great song live
@Spoovee1997 Oh For God Sake, a bunch of hillbillies playing a classic British Pop Tune, and bloody well ruined it as well, Sod Sugerland Express, should take pointers, and also stick their heads up a dead bears ass...

@ProfessorEggflesh For those of you who were like me and thought "Oh hey, I'll go check it out to see what the differences are," don't do it. Sure they're good, but they definitely lack the magic that this song has. Tons of people can perform this song, but only Dream Academy can make it what it is, a beautiful work of art that gives you chills and brings tears to your eyes when you listen to it.
