It's the mark of a great singer how he hits the high notes, with generally perfect pitch, live, after so many years. No auto-tune, no studio effects, no nonsense. Respect.
J'ai un doute quand même sur l'utilisation ou non d'un effet... lorsqu'il retire ses oreillette, il ne monte plus la note.. Je reste un super grand fan et j'adore cette chanson, mais... j'ai un doute. Suis-je le seul ?

They toured the world several times in the 80s with live shows that are only available in audio recordings. Watch the 1989 in Rio Take on me or anything else from that concert to see how they sound live. Rio 89 is uploaded onto YT.
One of the great songs of all time... Morten Harket's vocal range is virtually unmatched. Strangely, it wasn't an immidiate hit and took years of hard work and dedication to turn it into the classic that it is
@@netwrench6570originally in 1984, they recorded take on me, but it didn’t take off, so in 1985 they re-recorded it and it became the hit it became today. 1984 version can be searched on RUclips
@@jesusdominguez9277 Yeah. And I saw him in November in Moscow, he was already 60 at that time, but bloody hell he looked and sounded really greate. Probably I am a bit biassed, but who cares)))
Good Grief!! This was twenty years past their peak popularity and they still sound, sing and look amazing!! Now I see why there are 84 million views!!! How am I just now discovering this video.
Naw - Morten was subpar, actually missing one of his amazing highs in one verse. His movement on stage was also lack luster. Bad day at the office I guess.
I read an interview about this particular performance. He was coming off an ear infection and his in ear monitor wasn’t giving him the proper mix. That’s why he kept playing with it. As a drummer that is use to having the in ear monitor if one or both goes out it can really mess you up especially if you’re using a keyboard sequencer with a click track. I’ve had a couple situations where my mix got screwed up with the guitars. If I hadn’t known the song by heart we would’ve had to stop in the middle of a song and get it sorted out. Talk about awkward. Even though “Mort” missed one high note he more than made up for it and did what was best and kept the performance going.
From Barcelona: Quality has no expiration date. On the contrary, it adds extra affection. February 2024. Thank you for allowing me to go back to those moments.
It really isn’t hard at all. The lowest of it is within just about every male’s range, and the high E is complete falsetto. Very easy for any male singer with a semblance of ability.
@irlan hakim You should not follow a guy who marries a little girl, marries his own adopted son’s wife, tortures people for money, persecutes everyone who even questions him, and have revelations that give him the right to do whatever he pleases and that commands people to trust him blindly.
There’s so much to love about this - the blend of people in the audience. Some older people reliving their teenage years and wallowing in nostalgia, some younger people, having heard this epic song so many times in their lives but perhaps not knowing who performed it. Most of all just the sheer joy of listening along to one of the best pop songs ever created. Oh and no smart phones either! The audience watching and engaging instead of filming! Just immense.
Essa entrada do teclado é épica!!! Esse falsete no finalzinho é surreal e histórico!! Tenho acordado quase todos os dias com essa música e hoje tive que parar pra escutar mais umas 1000x. Um som marcou minha adolescência.
I don't think anyone realizes how impressive this is. It was LOUD background noise, and his ear monitors quit working. So he most likely could not hear his own voice, and STILL sang perfectly in tune. You can see him struggle to hear himself when he plugs his ear while singing to try and keep a sense of his own pitch at 3:04 and his monitors are hanging around his neck. What a legend
He is really impressive and at his age he really sung well😍 and damn he is like a fine wine too😍 wish i could teleport there so i could watch it live and sing with it too 😊 im glad you tube has this amazing video 😊
OMG I was in London during LIVE 8 2005. My sis and I watched from a large screen in Regent's Park. One day we were walking and heard music and it lured us to this concert. Such incredible, beautiful memories.
I didn't hear any countdown. If he did, that's cool. But if he just started to play like that... wow! "Small" details makes you enjoy even more a song you already liked.
I agree. Anytime someone argues with me that today's music is just as good and it's usually the younger generation all I tell them is why do you think all the music that plays in movies, TV commercials and at sporting events is music from the 70s and 80s. Simple, it's the best and it's what everyone wants to hear. We had dozens of Superbands. I don't see a single superband today.
being able to sing that falsetto 20 years on is quite something, but to belt it out after having to rip your ear monitors out is the mark of brilliance & utter professionalism by Morten.
Can you explain what exactly happened, cause I'm guessing those allow you to hear what pitch you're actually at, which is why he jammed his finger into his ear, But why did he do that and why does he need that exactly, I figured it would be muscle memory pumping out a certain pitch Again I know nothing can you please explain lol
Imagine the surrounding noises he is hearing from the others on that stage, along with the noises from the crowd. It can definitely affect his performance. Its like you're being drowned or suffocated by sound.
Known fact that Morten was having difficulties with his in-ear monitor system during this performance but he was able to make it happen. The only things that he could hear from his vantage point were drums, bass and guitar. The FOH system was way out front. The stage was huge and his band mates were spread out. Nice job!
@Jake Pig Dude what the fuck, he is stating an objective fact that counters the blatant fault in the original comment. He didn't sing for a lot, and didn't do the falsetto. So yes, he skipped a lot of beats. Still a fantastic performance none the less
@@kalaharisafari7648 I think it's safe to assume you have absolutely no clue what they do, but that's fine you can keep living in your bubble of what you consider "true art"

"Giving ANYTHING to roll the dice just one more time....." That lyric has hit me differently today... if God would give just a little more time I'm sure I can get it right.
They actually had a lot of success in Europe in the 2000s after they staged a successful comeback (Summer Moved On, Lifelines, Forever Not Yours, Foot on the Mountain etc), so they probably were
I mean, I love a stage show. Look at Pink Floyd/David Gilmour with the circle screen and the laser shows. Watch the Pompeii version of Run Like Hell and be blown away by both the music and the light show. I don't think putting on a stage show will full theater makes you any less talented. Iron Maiden bring out the pyrotechnics, the antics, the bloody works, they even have LITERAL FLAMETHROWERS just for Flight of Icarus. Concerts aren't just about performing the music. Theatrics go hand and hand with that. Even The Who, Rolling Stones, any of the all time greats all do or have done theatrics at some point. It's part and parcel. Just watching a band performing the music with nothing else going on would be a bit boring, regardless of how good the music is.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, it is so good. I see the people so calm and happy. The music is so great, I feel like I'm watching a dying breed of wonderful music, and it makes me happy and sad all at the same time.
I just love this band and sing so much. When it came out, the video was considered so futuristic and cool and still stands the test of time. The composition is just perfect from beginning to end. Great job by the band and singer 😍😍😍
@@potatoghost6851 because singers normally wear a earpiece to hear what they are singing. With all the noise from the drummers and the crowds it can be difficult to sign.
He didn't loose his ear pieces, he removed them as they didn't work properly. And yet he sang perfectly even without them as Morten is one of the best singers in the world :)
it seemed to be that he removed because it was too loud, since in the very beginning of the song, right when he starts to sing, he gave a sign to the backstage kinda making a "turn it down" move...
@@adaobas I thought it kind of broke because you could hear him silently testing it (with 'ba ba') during the instrumental and fiddling around with the earpiece and device attached to his waist. When he started singing again, he was slightly out of pitch and then removed the earpiece to have at least some kind of "own monitoring" with the finger in the ear.
I was 10 when this song came out...always been one of my favorites! And no he never lost that great voice eh?! What a crowd there!!! Whoever put this band together to play this was a genius (i think at least three are original members)! What talent! Great harmonies too! Love live music! Makes you respect the band even more when they are that good live. I think I've watched this video about 30 times now in a week. Doesn't get old and the girls are nice to look at too! lol
There are three members of a-ha. The original band is still together. They have a back-up band, but Morten Harket is the singer, Magne Furuholmen is the keyboardist and he plays several instruments, and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy is the guitarist. It's always been those three. They've been together since around 1983. From Norway.
This is one of those songs that can turn my day 180° in the best way. Just makes me smile thinking of the 80’s. He’s fantastic. The slowed down live version is amazing too.
After those years ,the group took devestating and amazing. I was dreaming about Michael doing this song he can do that high c sharp . Amazing! From Goldsboro NC, USA.
[Verse 1] We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, okay? [Chorus] Take on me (Take on me) Take me on (Take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two [Verse 2] So needless to say I'm odds and ends But I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is okay Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry [Chorus] Take on me (Take on me) Take me on (Take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two
He’s having live feedback issues. People don’t realise how loud it is when your on stage. It’s hard to hear yourself sometimes. Great job and always the professional.
We all know what it is to be young when it has left us far behind. The youth is wasted on the young, I've heard many a time. However life is worth living , even if we can't be forever young.

Watch the Pompeii version of Run Like Hell and be blown away by both the music and the light show. I don't think putting on a stage show will full theater makes you any less talented. Iron Maiden bring out the pyrotechnics, the antics, the bloody works, they even have LITERAL FLAMETHROWERS just for Flight of Icarus. Concerts aren't just about performing the music. Theatrics go hand and hand with that. Even The Who, Rolling Stones, any of the all time greats all do or have done theatrics at some point. It's part and parcel. Just watching a band performing the music with nothing else going on would be a bit boring, regardless of how good the music is.
I agree 💚🤍❤️
He deserve a Huge respect for not disappointing his fans
素晴らしい演奏に感謝申し上げます。何遍も拝見しておりますが、チームが一丸となり笑顔で大切な一曲の演奏をやり通す姿は「Take On Me」のPVと重なります。
博愛主義である多くの美しい観客皆様への敬意も込めて。
有難う御座います。

This dude looks younger now than back then. His voice is spot on!
Вот так вышел и спел. Вживую, без блесток и перьев кривляний и понтов. Магия на все времена...
Mamá mía Vela nimfa amen

Светлана Иванова верно, точнее и не скажешь!

Молодец! Сам поет также, как в записи. И при этом в таком уже возрасте! Браво! И песня вечная конечно. А-Ha легендарная группа
Ну дык талантище не пропьешь)
Это точно....
E isso foi em 02/07/2005 uauuu🤣🤣🥰🥰🤭🤭🤗🤗São Paulo Brasil 🇧🇷
I'm not sure how I feel about this, it is so good. I see the people so calm and happy. The music is so great, I feel like I'm watching a dying breed of wonderful music, and it makes me happy and sad all at the same time.
I could listen to this song a million times and never tire of it.
Me too
You have write!me too)
I have!
I think I have!
I second to that!

I just love this band and sing so much. When it came out, the video was considered so futuristic and cool and still stands the test of time. The composition is just perfect from beginning to end. Great job by the band and singer 😍😍😍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Magistral, sin autotune, es por esto y más que la música de los 80's es y seguirá siendo la mejor.
Quien más la sigue escuchando en 2024 🇸🇻🖐️
Me too
From Japan with love❤
I hear this song when i am in highschool and till now,i am 58 years old
@@Mixcafe-lz9zc i am from indonesia
This is one of the best bands of the 80s!! The video to this song was way ahead of it's time and is very impressive even by today's standards!!
Cierto, el video era genial. Y ellos siguen siendo excelentes👌
Hitting those notes with your earpiece falling out is supernatural.
Why? Sorry I'm completely clueless about this kinda stuff
@@potatoghost6851 because singers normally wear a earpiece to hear what they are singing. With all the noise from the drummers and the crowds it can be difficult to sign.
@@willyrodriguez10 I see, thx for the info!
Mad props!
No autotone, just pure talent 💯
Its really 🎵🎹🎤 music . in present .
Remember when i tried when i was younger and my voice fucking cracked everytime lmao 😂😂
Notice how he plugs one ear 👂 while singing. It helps you hear you’re true notes that you are singing if that makes any sense!😂
Hhv
Yeah👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Will always be the best voice I’ve ever heard since I was 13. Now I’m 54, nothing I doubt will ever surpass.
No one gonna talk about how near the end he lost his ear piece and couldnt hear himself sing- And yet he still did it perfectly???!??
He didn't loose his ear pieces, he removed them as they didn't work properly. And yet he sang perfectly even without them as Morten is one of the best singers in the world :)
Olga K oh lol, it was hard to tell cause it kept switching povs, but i'm also not very observant, but yeah, he still sang perfectly ❤️
it seemed to be that he removed because it was too loud, since in the very beginning of the song, right when he starts to sing, he gave a sign to the backstage kinda making a "turn it down" move...
Wow....impressive.....
@@adaobas I thought it kind of broke because you could hear him silently testing it (with 'ba ba') during the instrumental and fiddling around with the earpiece and device attached to his waist. When he started singing again, he was slightly out of pitch and then removed the earpiece to have at least some kind of "own monitoring" with the finger in the ear.
I was 10 when this song came out...always been one of my favorites! And no he never lost that great voice eh?! What a crowd there!!! Whoever put this band together to play this was a genius (i think at least three are original members)! What talent! Great harmonies too! Love live music! Makes you respect the band even more when they are that good live. I think I've watched this video about 30 times now in a week. Doesn't get old and the girls are nice to look at too! lol
There are three members of a-ha. The original band is still together. They have a back-up band, but Morten Harket is the singer, Magne Furuholmen is the keyboardist and he plays several instruments, and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy is the guitarist. It's always been those three. They've been together since around 1983. From Norway.
just another T&A one to me
Would have to put this in “The Catchiest Songs of All Time” list.
ruclips.net/video/eFsayBSTuWE/видео.html. working as a slave, needless to say its not black and white
You are right!!
Agree. I'd add. A few other 80s hits to that list too
Less Is More,
“Walking on Sunshine” was catchy for a while, then tiresome, then eventually made you want punch someone or a kick a dog 🥴
This is one of those songs that can turn my day 180° in the best way. Just makes me smile thinking of the 80’s. He’s fantastic. The slowed down live version is amazing too.
Singer still has the chops!!! 20 years after the song topped the charts...impressive
+Brain Scott
About 35 years

I honestly think he sounds better here than he ever did during their early days. His voice matured so well its unbelievable!
1985: Listening and dreaming of the future.
2020: Listening and remembering the past.
The past is where I'd rather be covid is an awful place to spend your last year of college.
So right 😎
I’m still looking for the future exciting and terrifying
Well said Papa J, well said.
@@33danally Well said.
Uma das melhores bandas de todos os tempos , voz ,música e instrumental perfeitas . Ficaram por toda eternidade essas músicas.
Banda sueca maravilhosa, como ABBA E ROCK SETE NUNCA SERÃO ESQUECIDAS !!

The Video to this track when release in the late 80s, it was mind blowing. Huge hit in the Uk & across the world.
I love how RUclips is the closest thing to a timemachine we have.
I'd say VR is honestly
this deserves more likes
Hell Yeah!!!
Facts
🤙👍🇧🇷
Today is May 2023. This song, concert and video production could easily be confused as having happened yesterday. Timeless masterpiece.
Just one thing is missing... Video screens
Thats right.. Yeah ❤😊
Also missing everyone holding their smartphones in the air. 😊
I Love you Morten... Brooklyn ❤
Dam i can't believe he can still hit those notes.
Well, this was 15 years ago. Not sure he can hit them today. He's still an excellent vocalist in 2020, though.
@@berganssekk he can still hit well watch his 2020 concert in Dubai
Ikr
Still hitting them in 2020 they did a recentl concert
why shouldnt he be able? just keep training and you hit your notes ^^
I was fortunate enough to see this band live in the 80s and you don't know what you missed
Tambem tive o prazer de ver ao vivo show no mineirão MG
Oh wow how lucky you were! ❤
@@donhardy4973 jealous me 👍👍👍
Missed? Lol.. Nothing!! We're watching right now
So did I, in Stockholm in 1986.
It’s great seeing old songs being sung again by the same creator years later
When u cant fool the audience with all the dancers, props and artistic etc. Thats when u know ur served with good music.
This is from the 80's tho
@Denver Epie . The music is from the 80's.
Prazer ter nascido nos anos 80 e ter pego toda essa época em que tínhamos músicas espetaculares. Sou privilegiado.
Com serteza época de ouro esse tempo não volta mais.
❤❤
I must say give also the drummer a credit for doing a great job 👍
When you need a pop/rock band without autotune?!
Just listen to the great: A-HA
The beatles,rolling stones,queen?
After those years ,the group took devestating and amazing.
I was dreaming about Michael doing this song he can do that high c sharp . Amazing! From Goldsboro NC, USA.
Alguém, mais nessa quarentena assistindo? 13:13hrs, vocalista continua lindo 😍
concordo
This song is universally loved by the world.
The older the song becomes, the more I see how valuable it is.
Great way to put it 👍
[Verse 1]
We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
[Chorus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
[Verse 2]
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
[Chorus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
He’s having live feedback issues. People don’t realise how loud it is when your on stage. It’s hard to hear yourself sometimes. Great job and always the professional.
That’s what his ear pieces are for
@@brandondixon4023 and those earpieces are not working
We all know what it is to be young when it has left us far behind. The youth is wasted on the young, I've heard many a time. However life is worth living , even if we can't be forever young.
He is clearly having issues with his ear monitor. Incredible performance.
I'm amazed that he still has that high note in him. Now that's music.
Yes, he still has, I mean - now, 15 years later:-)
@@luisalozhkina I just can't believe it. Time sure does fly, don't it?
@@blueridgerails7779 For us - yes, but Morten has his own relationship with time :-)
I agree, amazing that he still has that high note!!!
Tive a grande sorte de assistir a um show ao vivo desses caras em uma das primeiras turnês da banda no Brasil... imaginem quase duas horas seguidas, cantando praticamente só sucessos e acompanhados pelo grande público presente... incrível!!
ハラハラしながらも、強力な仲間たちが天上へ押し上げる。
素晴らしいパフォーマンスに思わず頬が緩みます。
Thank you so much.
