This video will always be my reference point as to why Seal is great. Wrote the lyrics and music, sang it great AND played a right-handed guitar upside-down. Give this man his due respect.
Son...playing a guitar as a left-handed player isn't any harder than right-handers playing a guitar. Seal is awsome. This is a great acoustic performance. But don't over-reach. Lots of left-handed people play guitar.
You're totally right. He's playing chords upside down. But that's not any harder than playing guitar right-handed, or rightside-up Whatever way you learn chords becomes automatic for you, Many of us play guitar and also mandolin. The chording and thinking is very different for the two instruments, but it's just a matter of repetition to master both. Same for left-handed guitarists, whether they play right-side up or upside-down! @@counciousstream
What is absolutely amazing is that Seal is playing a right-handed guitar, held upside down so he can play it left-handed, AND he's learned to play chords totally inverted. . . . . .that takes time, patience and talent!!!!
Hirath Ghori You'll notice that his backing Guitar player plays like that also. I'm a lefty Bassist and tried that years ago. Felt too unnatural so I played a re-strung righty til I got a proper Lefty.
Megadeth6633 Who's Will, is he a friend of yours? lol!!! Seriously though, I think I had the will but I just did not like the feel of it, whereas the standard feel felt more natural, so I stuck to it. Sure it limited my choice of Basses, but why suffer for your Art :-D... also with Guys like Paul McCartney and a few others releasing albums at the time, I knew I wasn't alone, so that helped I think.
This is one of the best live performance in mtv history in world history been listening to this since i heard it on mtv as a kid im 32 now still as good seal is so good it is insane
I'm 27 now and have been loving and listening to Seal since I was 5 years old. My big sister is 12 years older than me so since she's been 17 she has been exposing me to Seal as she was and still is a huge fan. I always thought his scars were beautiful and never understood why some people thought they were so ugly. never understood why ppl make fun of things people can't help but I always thought he was very handsome even when I was little. So happy an artist like him excist! fan4life
Remember the first time I heard Seal. What an iconic talent. First Heard "Kiss from a Rose" album front to back. Don't think people appreciated him, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur, Valerie Carter like they should have. Keep this music alive for future generations.
Best acoustic live performance ever this is so good year after year listened to this 24 years now never gets old just better every time this is perfection
This very gifted black guy can sing. He gives me goosebumps. Loved him on top of the pops. AAAAnd I swore that it was this lovely fine. guy on the mask singer. This tall guy can absolutely sing. Crazy is my favourite record from 1991. 1992 a black beauty came out with .... Sleeping satellite. I say no more.
I started listening to Seal in the early-90’s. I was (and still am) a huge fan of David Copperfield and he has used Seal’s music for a few of his illusions. I turned my Mom onto him way back then and when his (I believe his second?) album came out in 1994, she purchased it and would listen to it in the car with my two younger brothers and I. Every time I hear his voice it brings me back to those times and makes me smile. Crazy was always one of my favorites.
Esse cara com certeza é de outro planeta e com certeza também de um lugar bem mais evoluído que a nossa amada terra ,os musicos que o acompanha e de uma qualidade gigantesca também !!!🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Talented and crazy.....'They' say there's a thin line between madness and genius. This acoustic performance is pure genius. 'I see you my friend, and touch your face again'. I was sent this song by a dear friend,but he lives 5000 miles away.Can't ever touch his face,but I can envoke memories with this song. Makes it all the more beautiful,and I wouldn't have thought that possible... Love the bass players mojo too ;)
The unplugged phenomenon was excellent, and caught so many great performances, there’s a nuanced feeling that’s totally missing today.. it’s most likely the inverse of technology, it gives, and it takes.
And he and his guitarist plays right handed guitars, strung right handed upside down and lefthanded. That is CRAZY. Best version of this song I've ever heard!!!
Both guitars are played upside down by left handed players .why have i only just seen this wow Brilliant. Best acoustic vid ive seen in ages . seal what a voice pure class

Ppl dis seal?
@@jayson1505 Yes, that's Seal.

Seal is awsome. This is a great acoustic performance.
But don't over-reach. Lots of left-handed people play guitar.
@@squirrelbutler2119 yes but he is playing it upside down not just left handed. No wonder I couldn't recognize the chords he is playing.
You're totally right.
He's playing chords upside down.
But that's not any harder than playing guitar right-handed, or rightside-up

The bass absolutely SLAPS in this version.
Same bass player: ruclips.net/video/hKgiYsvUq6E/видео.html
The bass player is really grooving and into it … love it.
Seal. One of the most underrated artists in time. And by far one of the most flawless and outstanding vocalists of the modern world. Much respect.
Them words you’ve written are nearly exactly the same I would say . He is top draw ! A master of his art. Love your comments 👏🏻👍🏻
Es
Best performance i know is this
@@jacklamat6315 Have you heard the Tori Kelly cover on SiriusXM? Imo she takes it up another level.
@@JamieR yeah, I don't think anybody would agree with you
I never ever get tired of listening or watching Seal sing this one. Absolutely timeless material!
True
Wow just wow... just discovering this in 2023. What an amazing rendition! Thanks for your artistry Seal!
With you.
❤
A lot of folks don’t like seal but I can listen to this guy all day….. very unique voice!
A fantastic song is not bound solely to its album performance. The Nineties were the Last Great Age of Music and I stand by that.
this man is absolute genius. Been touched by his music and passion for over 20 years. Timeless talent. Enjoy!
Anyone listening to this in 2023? Timeless songs from this man. Beautiful.
2024 here ;)
Yes this is an awesome version. I play my guitar with it. 😊
Aquí... 2024!
2024❤
Aye Sir !
Seal always sings from the soul. And for that, we adore him.
word
Eu aqui em pleno 2023 ouvindo Seal , apaixonada por essa música que é mais velha que eu e eu nem sabia que era dele❤ voz linda suave e hipnotizante
One of those unique songs, that everybody loves, and comes along once a decade. It sounds as fresh today as it the first time I heard it.
This song will never lose that "freshness". It was a protest song in many conflicts a decade later and will likely pop-up again. Timeless.
What is absolutely amazing is that Seal is playing a right-handed guitar, held upside down so he can play it left-handed, AND he's learned to play chords totally inverted. . . . . .that takes time, patience and talent!!!!

anyone can learn to play it upside down if they have the will tbh... not saying seal isn't talented because he is.
Megadeth6633 I tried, but it felt wrong so I flipped the strings over. Each to their own.
soeffingwhat I guess you didn't have enough will :P even standard position seems very wrong when you start playing
Megadeth6633 Who's Will, is he a friend of yours? lol!!!

I don't care what all the 90's haters say, An acoustic version of a song is not the worst thing that can happen, this song proves it.
This is one of the best live performance in mtv history in world history been listening to this since i heard it on mtv as a kid im 32 now still as good seal is so good it is insane
90s haters said that? 🤔
💯FACTS!! Singing the acoustic version of Crazy was and will always be some of Seal's finest work ever. 🔥
90's haters are listening to 70's disco. That showd their tastes are questionable to start with.
@@LambentLark Uuuh?
A seminal moment in my existence when I first viewed the breathtaking Church Studios sessions.
Stunning.
One of Seal's brilliantly composed and written songs ~ Oh, the 90s
I'm 27 now and have been loving and listening to Seal since I was 5 years old.

Seal is a fantastic show. Unique and committed to his craft
When I need some pure bliss I turn to Seal..He's even got the looks to match...How amazing can one artist be??
When this song first came out in the plugged version, it was a top hit for three months in Germany. Awesome song Seal!
seriously?
I saw Seal live in 2012. He rocked the house down. Great performer.
Lucky
He doesn't need musical instruments, his voice is beautiful.
I agree. He does not need music. His voice is just brilliant.
However the accompaniment is brilliant in it's own right
Seal is a superb singer!
needs to be because he ugly as fuck
@@billdowns2702 that is so effing rude. Your comment is ugly. No class at all. Shameful and disgusting. Everyone is beautiful.
Remember the first time I heard Seal. What an iconic talent. First Heard "Kiss from a Rose" album front to back. Don't think people appreciated him, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur, Valerie Carter like they should have. Keep this music alive for future generations.
I had this entire session on VHS years ago and it was/is an absolute masterpiece.
BETA makes it sound x10 better.
Hey do you still have it and do you know how I could find it. The guy playing bass is my boyfriend Dad. I’m trying to track it down. Thanks
@@kanyabeachapartmentstv1727 I've often wondered who the bassist is. Can you tell us?
This song takes me to 1991 when I was very young and full of dreams and the lyrics fits in all of my entire crazy youth as well!!! Fantantic!
he is such a beautiful man
I never ever get tired of listening or watching Seal sing this one. Absolutely timeless material!
I play guitar, and I must point out that the afro guy playing lead guitar is super talented with the strings. Great trio. Great song.
he's playing upside down too Amazing
Best acoustic live performance ever this is so good year after year listened to this 24 years now never gets old just better every time this is perfection
Absolutely amazing version of this song, so good the bass Player is having the time of his life!! Pure class
All these years of loving this song and never understand the implications until now, come on the awakening 🍄💯😎
First heard this in the Spike Lee film Clockers, been loving it since then. Seal’s voice just soars on this version. Perfect vocal.
That's why I'm here
This was the perfect song for that scene.
Who is still listening to this great music in 2024??
I do dea
Me
Me
May 2024
still loving it...
Best unplugged performance I saw in my life. Pure talent.
You’ve clearly not seen Queensryche then.
Actually I havent, Thanks for sharing, I will ! Cheers !
@@Jason-me1bs
His expression while performing this is absolutely priceless. I love it. I love everything about this video, in fact.
I never ever get tired of listening or watching Seal sing this one. Absolutely timeless material!
The 90s was great. What happened?
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
One of my all time favorite artist...... You must see him live !!!
Seal is one of the reasons we took to music and how his music just takes us back to the good old 90's
I was right now old when i learned Seal can play guitar. What a great acoustic version.
That banjo style is such a great addition to this acoustic version. I loved this
wheres the banjo?
Saw Seal on his first tour. Absolutely brilliant. This album is one of the "stranded in an island" must haves. Magnificent.
What a beautiful beautiful man... with an inhuman ability to warm up the soul of the coldest person.
Seal Crazy is one of my favorite dance songs. Dancing like the bassist indeed. Thats the feeling....
The ending chord of the song was perfect (in my consumer point of view)
O by God what voice and presence in this man's encenary I love him 😍
I love, love this acoustic performance!
Seal ❤
You are one of my favourite artist.love ur songs ❤
This very gifted black guy can sing. He gives me goosebumps. Loved him on top of the pops. AAAAnd I swore that it was this lovely fine. guy on the mask singer. This tall guy can absolutely sing.

Essa versão é sensacional!!! 👏🎵
He doesn't need musical instruments, his voice is beautiful.
yeah always...love Seal and that bass player...wow.
love this song in acoustic 90's classic from seal, and true we cant survive this world unless we are crazy.

One off the best acoustic version of a track I’ve ever heard . Gaffa !
The 1st CD in my family was SEAL's 1991 album. Super song, one of the best albums 4 ever.
Talented and crazy.....'They' say there's a thin line between madness and genius.
This acoustic performance is pure genius.
'I see you my friend,
and touch your face again'.
I was sent this song by a dear friend,but he lives 5000 miles away.Can't ever touch his face,but I can envoke memories with this song.
Makes it all the more beautiful,and I wouldn't have thought that possible...
Love the bass players mojo too ;)
wow one of my fav songs of all time.
The Acoustic version shows the greatness of this Song plus the prowess of Seal!
Always liked this song! Great acoustic version!
Its 2023 and this is still one of the prettiest surprise duets that has ever happened in history
This is BY FAR the best rendition and it’s not available anywhere but here. How come?
Isn’t that crazy 😊
His style of singing and voice is everything!
Classic from 1992! ❤
Fukin soul man! Just made me cry....what a dude....never heard this before. Thank you sir. Much love x

The bass player is really having a good time
The bass player is really having a good time
Perfect signature voice of seal no one could do it greater❤

Tiny Desk Concert: "hold my beer."
“It gives and it takes”, wisely put.
This song makes me happy
The bass player is really having a good time
+Rodrigo Santiago Motta making 'love' with the music. lol thats some kind of mojo.............................
He's in the pocket.
How could you not be having a great time
What amazing talent and ability to play in this way... upside down and left handed... on top the gorgeous voice.
Słuchawki, pełna moc i można odlecieć ;) Seal zawsze pozostanie wielki :)
I just keep coming back to this amazing version. Seal is a beautiful artist.
this song always calms my spirit
Oh yes, his voice is a balm to the soul….there’s something magical about Seal….❤
he is such a beautiful man
Really? Im not seeing it.
hteasttowest can you hear it at least? damn lol
He is. And the messages he conveys through his music are also beautiful!
No no no no, that is too much...he is a great artist, but beautiful???
@@Pitxicaa Oh come on, he's gorgeous.
Se escucha unos 20 años atrás y hoy alguien q canta tan bien en video o en acústico. Bravo Seal.

Seal is such a great Talent !!!

"We're never gonna survive waching the world gone crazy..." Seal 🙏☮️❤️☀️

timeless..brilliant d 1st time it played..n still is one of d best song composed
Just here to say that I'm spending my day in music.
This always hits right.
I love every version of this song. This is certainly the best song of 1991, and maybe, of the entire decade.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I just cannot ever get enough!!! Love you Seal!!
And he and his guitarist plays right handed guitars, strung right handed upside down and lefthanded. That is CRAZY. Best version of this song I've ever heard!!!
Seal, é fenomenal, ele é fera, gostaria muito de assistir um show desse cara, estamos juntos Negão
Greetings from Brasil! LOVE!! Man and voice so beautiful !!!!!
Such a great artist and song! He rocks it!
Both guitars are played upside down by left handed players .why have i only just seen this wow Brilliant. Best acoustic vid ive seen in ages . seal what a voice pure class
He doesn't need musical instruments, his voice is beautiful.
There are plenty of comments about this already. But DAT BASS !
What an amazing performance. Seal will always one of my favorite singers of all time.
Interessantes nessa versão são os coadjuvantes: baixo e backing vocals, eles se tornam protagonistas ao longo da canção, deixando-a bela e agradável!
This is brilliance and genius, all in one! Long time fan of this version.
You don't see that very often. Lefty player, but with the strings upside down.
i love Seal and his song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Massively underrated artist.
I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE OF THE ACOUSTIC VERSIONS
