too bad there are few people who have watched this. I kinda like the influence the 80`s had on their style in this version. This is one seriously underestimated band.

Good groups have fewfans. On the contrary groups with very much fans often make bad quality music. Steve harley is a fantastic, exceptional artist. The groups I like are generally less known and have few fans. But their music is always of good quality.

@@catadanna4679 - Top tier groups are usually in the middle. A rabid fanbase that can support the band financially and ensure their legacy, but not too big that the band attracts "trendy" fans. Whatever the case, Steve Harley was one hell of a performer.

Best ever version of 'Sling It' in this video.

oh i love it.

RIP Steve. One of the very best. Saw C/R in a club in Birmingham. Great band. Steve was such a nice guy and a great front man.
Great song writer and front man. Steve wrote some great original songs, such as Mr Soft, possibly my favourite. Think he was underrated.
Anyway, the world is that bit poorer without Steve Harley in it.

The singles were one thing - and brilliant - but the album tracks were simply sublime. RIP Steve Harley. Sadly underrated, but an absolute legend.

The first two great albums, with characteristic vocals and music, and then something happened - there were interesting compositions, judging by the triple album collection in the my collection, but again, half of the first two albums are there

Pure genius at work 💜🤘🏿

Someone needs to show this to Josh Homme immediately.

[@yourivandenberg976]

Wait.. explain? Hahaha

[@greyman45]

Ian is Steve's younger brother.

[@catadanna4679]

Yes, on keyboard.

@throbule Not really. Pick up 'Quality of Mercy'. It's a fantastic album.
