This is one of the best rock performances of all time. The pageantry. The fucking SINGING BARN. It's perfect.

That singing barn and watermelons are quite simply too cool for this world.

Thank you Britain and Europe for seeing the brilliance in this band and their music because without that success they would have surely dissolved. They are American but too "fruity" for Americans but that doesn't mean they are NOT wonderful. They deserved the recognition and Thank God they got it.

@✨fear fun✨ Thank you. There were a couple UK artists that couldn't get arrested in England that we adopted and made millionaires. I came from the 80s so there's Def Leppard, The Outfield (almost legendary) Billy Idol and couple others. In the 90s there was Bush who were so cool. UK and US tend to culturally pollinate each other. I think the issue with Scissor was not them but their audience. I'll be blunt and inappropriate and say that they attracted a creepy audience over here. Everywhere else in the world they attracted mainstream audiences which is where they belonged. I'll get hate for that so be it. Tired of being muzzled.

I come back to this video every time I want to see a full groundbreaking live performance. Because it IS played live.

What an incredible moment at 2:10. The message in the lyrics combined with the background singers who all look different but sing the same posirivs message together in support of the young boy... jeeze it's so freakin' powerul! "It's a struggle, livin' like a good boy oughta In the summer, watchin' all the girls pass by. When your mama, heard the way that you'd been talking I tried to tell you, that all she'd wanna do is cry." Can we all agree that Freddy would have at least have been invested and asked, "who are they?" after this performance?

What a performance!!!!! That was amnazing!!!!! I'm a metal head but not afraid to admit when I hear great music and that was absolutley incredible!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!!!

If the barn as a back-up singer wasn't enough, the singing watermelons put it over the top!

This is fun. Scissor Sisters, one of the best pop-rock band of the last ten years, are barely handling the chaos they themselves have created on stage. And that somehow ends up bringing out wonderful, free-spirited energy from the whole crew. When the energy on stage is this good, they really can do no wrong. A truly fantastic production. The simple lighting effect, done with taste and confidence, is also a plus. Love those wild, show-stealing watermelons with beady eyes:)

Now THIS is fun. I’m a conservative, straight white guy, but this had my hopping around my bed at night at 1am, finding this video out of nowhere. These guys a good dancers! Catchy songs. The writers were the Bee Gee’s on some of this material, I’m sure that’s part of it.

Those watermellons are hilarious

That quick shot of Brian May at the start. I like to think he was imagining Freddie in the middle of it all.

I first saw and heard them on a late night talk show.Can't remember which one. I said they are gonna be huge!!!! Sadly, though they are American they didn't reach any heights in America. I wonder how many people saw that performance, thought the same as I did, and then...foolishly didn't go out and buy their record to support them! Thank God England has embraced them. I still have hope that they'll get their recognition here in America. They deserve it.

That has to be one of the best stage scenes Ive ever seen. Even the watermelons are singing along. Love it!

Wish they showed more of Simon Peggs reactions. He was loving it!

Absolutely Magnificent in every way ! @The Brits.. WOW

2023 still raddest performance EVER

This performance is nothing short of a miracle. Love it!

1:35 I had never heard the sound of watermelons and I never thought they could sing. what a voice🥰😘

If I had been in the audience for that performance I'd be smiling just like Brian May and Simon Pegg were.

Bringing it just like a ex go-go dancer should. LOVE IT.

I'm glad I got over my stubborn ways, because I wouldn't have watched this over and over out of shear joy if I didn't

This concert is so freaking cute I love it
