In the 80s you had mixtapes with about 7 versions of the same song

One of the greatest examples of Blue-eyed Brit Soul there ever was.

Charisma like his is so rare. Truly a work of art among artists.

The Wonderful Steve Sidelnyk on percussion, Wonderful, Thanks for sharing

This is awesome musicianship!! Not easy pulling these arrangements off live from the record...very impressive

2022, I'm still down with the Blow Monkeys!!!

man - I had no idea how good these boys were live - respect !!

Immense respect. They weren’t some flavor of the month. I’m really glad to see they’re the real deal. Very cool stuff.

nice performance...dude is hell on that sax...

Absolutely brilliant

Awesome Dr Robert & Band

The legendry Steve Sidelnyk on percussion, Fantastic, Thanks for posting

In 1986 I was listening toThem and in 1988 I switched to Prince, in my opinion, they have a lot in common both in live performances and musical genres, and they are definitely all true musicians.

I can listen to this music all day long

Dr. roberts was pure charisma on stage and in the band who carried them far beyond their limits. Miss them a lot! :o)

📌Sending love and light from Memphis, to each one of you as we close the year of 2023; it's been a ball, y'all!🥃✌🏽💯

The only band I've seen live twice.

An insane amount of talent 🎙🎸🎶🎵🙂

The video to this song was so awesome!!! Great band!! That bass line!!!

wow, the drummer has a tight groove goin on, respect!

That really is a fantastic live performance of a really intricate song; really impressed with how good this band was (and probably still is even stripped of all the backing).

Dr Robert used to tour as a solo act in the early 2000s with his acoustic guitar. I saw him once and he did a great version of this tune, just him and guitar. Some talent!

This song was a great hit in the fabulous 80’s !!! Love it 😍 !!!!

I love this

EXCELXIOR!!. COMMAND PERFORMANCE..Full glossy package.

Why don‘t we have bands like this anymore today?

Unfortunately we took these great young talented and energetic musicians for granted back then... 40(!) years later we realised this golden 80s era didn't last long

Quite a bit of that answer has to do with the ones buying records then compared to today. Easier to please the average younger listener today with minimal effort due to huge technological advancements. It was very common back in the day to see the band itself collectively write, produce and perform their tunes live - Dr Robert and band are a great example. Completely live, no tracks, no sequences and they sound phenomenal. Those times may com back because my thought is that it’s cyclical.

Because the present generation are so entitled and fragile, they won't last a minute in the 80s...as Einstein predicted "I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots." Albert Einstein

Come on! Let's try to get this one to 100,000 views!

So so SOULFUL. I find myself watching this every day. sigh

Dr robert still kicks some ass....

Groovy and mellow, fantastic... No wonder the late Curtis Mayfield put an eye on these guys.

Still loving it in 2021 blew me away so 80s & still cool EA 💖🇦🇺🎷👒

Love song 80s

Great performance, great band, great singer and great song. It's actually a response to Donna Summers comments about AIDS being Gods revenge on gay people. Remember when pop music was sophisticated and worked on multiple levels? Yeah me too.
