I think they were far from overrated. They were megastars in their day. I remember them packing very large venues. I saw them in at Three Rivers Stadium.
Tears for Fears made the 80's one of the best eras of music.
I have to say, I used to hate this band, I was a metal head in the 80s but now I'm almost 50 and I have picked up a guitar and am a music hobbyist and a have a totally different understanding now ... just thought I should put that out there.

Agree 100%. I remember sitting back listening to songs made 25 years before when I was 15 and just appreciating some of the uniqueness and brilliance. Rarely do I hear modern songs show this which sucks, but I believe once we get out of this zeitgeist where mixing boards and auto-tuned voices ruin true creativity, music will shine again. Hoping it comes soon though!

Sounds great live over 30 years on. Maintaining the integrity of their vocal ability these years later is pretty impressive.
Roland's voice still strong as ever!
Tears For Fears are one of my all-time favorite bands. Saw them live in 1990 and it was the best concert I've ever been to.
Amazing. It’s like being in the studio for a rehearsal. They sing in person, just as the original cut.
Watching this during lockdown and so lifted by it. What an incredible and faithful performance of a fantastic song. ‘Classic’ is a word bandied around a lot - but this earns it, right? What a job that drummer does - just nails the original part without adding anything flashier, because that’s all it needs. Same wondrous and minimal fills, just everything good. The whole thing is an absolute masterclass. :)
God knows how this song takes me back to being 19 again and being in love for the first time. Just magical to know that the 1980's were the best for music. Love UK bands.
I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away Throw it away I made a fire and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last? No, no, no, have you no ambition? My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away And this my four-leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four-leaf clover in my head, my mind's eye (La, la, la, la, la) one little boy, wandering by (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) funny how Time flies

It’s hard to overstate how great this performance is.
Wow, the depth of this..percussion is INSANE. I always knew this music but wasn't familiar with the band: this is the magic of KZread..I watched the one guy play/sing with his lovely young daughter (who was also playing guitar)...and then the other guy is singing lead on this song.. and he's backing him up..I love when several people can sing lead in a band...this was super good. The way this is presented..I felt like I knew the band..twas FAMILY...that's magical.
So Great...I Was 15 Years Old When This Song Was On Top, and I´m Still Listening!!!!!
Now then kids this is what a great band sounds like !!!! Love it fellas 💥

This song brings back a vivid memory of one particular night in my life that was a changing point. These boys still have it after many years
Why this is not yet viewed by the millions is saddening. So glad i grew up in 70s, 80s, 90s music. This is pure nostalgia. Meanwhile, music nowadays with swearing and women twerking are viewed in the millions, wtf 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Society's on a downhill.
Good music when alone or with a group, so lucky we've grown up listening with their music... These songs spoke the language of our souls and our generation.👍🇵🇭✌️
'Studio quality' live performance! I wish more artists had this level of care.
I always come back to this song and in particular, this performance. It is a good example of how a well orchestrated song comes together into a groove.
One of my favorites in the 80's. Brings back memories. 😭
What an amazing live performance!!! I am blown away by how good these guys keep sounding after all these years! Feel so lucky to have grown during the 80's listening to these jewels! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Awesome sound quality!
Just close your eyes for a second while your listening to this... they’re still so tight!!!
A wonderful tribute to the love affair of my life. That feeling of new love, that feeling of unrequited love, that questioning feeling, that ponderous feeling and overall acceptance of one's status quo. Love the song.

I was in my 20's when they surfaced and... they were absolutely the top band of the 1980's = no other band came close for the years 1983- 1986.
Every time I hear this I’m transported back to high school. Masterpiece.
I was 6 or 7 when this song came out. It was haunting back then. Still hits me today. Now I understand what it means.
you wouldn't believe its live it sounds so good ...I have seen them live a few times its always been that good...Amazing job boys
Time Flies as the Universe expands, fabulous music for all time.
Seen these guys live twice, absolute class. If you get the chance to do the same, don't miss out.
These guys are still great! They sound really good.
I have mixed feelings while I am watching this. On the one hand the music is so amazing, on the other hand, to think what music our children hear today just breaks me down.
Absolutely stellar performance. As the years have gone by, I’ve become a huge Tears For Fears fan and this recording was truly amazing. Thanks so much for that.
Superb👏👏👏👏i feel I am back to my young age! This sing still good to hear now 2022! My favorite band till now! It doesn’t age!
They sound amazing! Songs from The Big Chair is a huge chunk of my youth. I wore that cassette out - kept me company to and from school on my long commute, listened to it at home, would fall asleep to it, too and so many years later, any song I hear from that album instantly transports me to that time in my life. 💕
Their quality and skill is the product of fifty years of hard work and it shows in their performances and quality. It shows the path forward is hard work and toil. Sing, play write, form clay, sew artistry and skill only comes from hard work.
Amazing loved them 30 years ago and still love them!
they sound soooooo good
