I've been playing guitar for about 25 years, and I've been trying to learn this live version for 3 days solid now. The instrumental at the end almost has me at breaking point. Insane skills on display here. This band with this lineup was just unbelievable.

Because today people listen to SHIT!!!!!!

This version has every ingredient possible: hard rock, a bit of reggae, some funk, some jazz. It's mad! (In the best possible way!)

Question?,, What makes Any One "not like" this version? A simple mind? Poor cognitive skills? No musical sense? A clueless and uncomprehending naivete? Compared to the studio version this version is more complex, more intuitive, more virtuosic and more vibrant. These guys were a cornerstone of my music library in the mid 70's to mid 80's. I wore out their records while my ZepHead friends told me that 10cc were "ditty writers". NOT. I didn't know there were live versions of them performing so now I can re-discover 10cc. What a joy to find these video's! Thank you! imagine 1960 and 10cc Fan Club!

This is my favorite live version at Wembley in 1982. Most marvellous performance! Eric Stewart is sooo cool!! He's the greatest guitarist. I'm completely fascinated. Getting goose bumps!

Oh my god!!!!! How bloody talented are these guys? I loved how there was no lead singer in this band, they all participated in process from song writing to vocals and multi instrumentalists.

10cc probably the most musically tight band out on the circuit total professional entertainers don’t take my word go to see them on tour NOW you will walk away buzzin for daze

I tell anyone who will listen, 10cc's 1977 "Deceptive Bends" tour at the historic "Tower Theater" in Upper Darby PA. (West Philly) Ì remember poking my buddy in the ribs after 5 songs and saying; "This is the best band I have ever heard live." And that's saying something considering I've attended 1011 concerts since 1973 and seen em all, the "best of the best" live. Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, ELO, ELP, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Billy Joel, Eagles, J Geils, Bob Seger, Queen, Alan Parsons, Kansas, Joe Bonamassa and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Saw these guys in Detroit,Michigan. Love This BAND!!! one of the Best band of all TIME!!!

Absolutely hands down BEST version of this song.

Two Les Pauls in harmony is sublime !

one of the greatest double guitar solos ever!!!

Walking into my home town I suddenly heard a tune I knew the opening to so well. A guy in a disabled buggy came nearer with "Art for Art's Sake". BLASTING out. I had to give him a cheer & raised hat as he went by. One of 10cc's best tunes & a vinyl 45 I spin often. "Art for Art's Sake, Money for God's sake" is the cry of many an artist & musician

Wow this absolutely blew me away, i have become obsessed with listening to it, love the instrumental in the middle and the wicked guitar skills of eric stewart. So underrated yet so talented.

Simply the best,keep watching all these years on,love them.

Absolutely amazing band!

Great tune!!! I'm old enough to remember when it came out!! Long live the '70s!!!

Amazing stuff. Saw them at Wollongong EC a few years back. Seriously one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I seen a few too. So tight and true to the original sound.

Paul Burgess on drums, and Stuart Tosh on percussion....great!

Loved these guys.

I am bummed that I did not follow these guys after their big hit I'm Not in Love". Technology has made it much easier to acquire their music without having to jump through a lot of hoops. I think it did require a more refined taste to follow these guys in the 1970's. I have discovered a lot of neat 1970's groups thanks to KZread. Another individual that I found thanks to yt is the late great Ronnie Lane and his former band Small Faces/Faces. Once again since I am in the states instead of the Uk exposure was somewhat limited unless I I imported more albums. 10cc or Faces did not have the marketing arm or outreach of say Queen or Stones. So if we were lucky we could stumble on them thanks to a good buddy. Otherwise it was pot-luck. These guys were pure geniuses. Well I can get my ears tickled anytime I want to now!

Sammy Boy Sadly part of that is on 10cc. Songs like “One Night in Paris” or “Feel the Benefit” were just too long, even for album rock stations. And then other songs, like some of the more off-the-wall Godley and Creme songs would never get airplay outside of album rock stations either. Then there was the problem that some of their stuff was just plain not radio-ready, as in kinda offensive. “Sheet Music” had three songs alone that fit that description: “Baron Samedi,” “Hotel” and “Oh Effendi.” And the sad thing was, that was their strong suit. Personally I think 10cc was just too good for us...

First time I ever heard THIS song, without knowing 10cc, I thought it was Frank Zappa and the Mothers. Great song and a great album as well. There was another song on "How Dare You" called "Iceberg" that also had a Zappa-influenced sound. 10cc was a very talented and creative band. Definitely one of the more underrated groups of all time.

Just a great band. They play rock blues reggae ballets. Brilliant and unique.

10cc have got to be the best pop musicians that have ever performed. I saw them in Liverpool last Saturday and I am still astounded as to how good they are after all these years. Just no band near as good as them. Loved the show!!!!!

Got to add another comment.........simply stunning.
