This totally got me through my depression years ago. I took massive overdose (70 tramadol) but after being hospitalised then sectioned I started listening to this and it’s my go to song when I start to feel down
Brilliant minds is and always will be in my top 5 of songs ever, always remember the first time I heard it and went straight to the music store and got it on 12".
30 years a go they have visited my town in exYugoslavia...great concert,great evening...since then I think this is one of the best male vocal...and The Wrong People is one of thosealbums that make me smile and happy....Thank you Jim & Co for that...
Destined to be a massive success, furniture’s recording company had 35k albums pressed then went bust, they never recovered their popularity, really sad
God bless you tube. Saw this live. How TV has changed - who would now punt a 100% live music show from Newcastle on Friday tea-time? Visionary stuff C4. "MIss You" was indeed a magnificent piece. Great post, thanks for sharing
When I heard this at 15 years old in 1985, I threw out all the music I owned (Phil Collins?) and started over. Suddenly music spoke to me and had something to say about my life. It was like a brick through a window.
This is meant as the highest compliment - so many Furniture songs sound like they could have been written by Amy Winehouse. Just imagine her singing 'I Miss You'.
Thanks for this...was lucky enough to see them live a few times..this should have been a number one single.....perhaps the best expression of lost love in popular music ever......
I saw this episode. I had just split up with my girlfriend. God I miss The Tube and TV that was brave, flawed and yet brilliant. So much talent there. And we were drawn to it so much more than the polished nonsense we are now fed.
The Wrong People finally released on cd and available at i-tunes! Finally! Brilliant Mind is without doubt my favourite 80's track. Sublime, thanks for posting!
Wow-never saw this version. But sadly yet another that chops the sax solo which is the pinnacle of the song!?!? Still a great song and a great bassist and bass line.
Disagree. I liked her understated style; vulnerable yet strong. At the end of this clip the vision cuts to Muriel Gray and it ends before she says "oooh Furniture, couple of Tall Boy's' in that band". Crap joke from a so called presenter who had zero personality but thought she was witty and urbane. She wasn't... Paula Yates was vulnerable yet strong whereas Muriel Gray was overbearing yet inconsequential.
@@flashtheoriginal Pauls was so fantastic on The Tube, I love her style of hosting. It was quiet but full of personality and not condescending like Muriel Gray who was a straight arse B!TCH
Brilliant Mind live, this was a fantastic live performance 👏👏👏
Vastly underrated, a real gem of the Eighties! Brilliant, indeed!
Under Rated in your mind maybe…
@@Oh_I_Will I’m fine with that.
Possibly one of the 80s greatest songs
We are friends
Both songs.
Not possibly....THE best
It is undoubtedly one of the best British singles of the 80's
I'm French and this song didn't get as famous as it deserved in my country
This live version just shows what brilliant musicians they all were ❤
STILL BRILLIANT
Brilliant Mind is just such a wonderful, wonderful song.
folkdisco yea...Some Kjnd
I agree completely
Beautiful
This totally got me through my depression years ago. I took massive overdose (70 tramadol) but after being hospitalised then sectioned I started listening to this and it’s my go to song when I start to feel down
I agree. Always have...
Furniture is for connoisseurs only. Exquisite music, thank you.
Brilliant minds is and always will be in my top 5 of songs ever, always remember the first time I heard it and went straight to the music store and got it on 12".
I loved Furniture. Brilliant Mind brings back some great memories and this performance was just superb. Thanks for posting.
Here we are 2018 fall, Portland Oregon listening to these wonderful songs.
The live version is better than the recorded one, a rarity
just brilliant A++++++++++
what a wonderful sound Brilliant mind is , lyrics and a pleasure to listen too a one hit wonder or not ?
Fabulous song. Got to see twice in Nottingham.
30 years a go they have visited my town in exYugoslavia...great concert,great evening...since then I think this is one of the best male vocal...and The Wrong People is one of thosealbums that make me smile and happy....Thank you Jim & Co for that...
Taped this off the tele at the time and wore the tape out! 'brilliant' to see again!
Destined to be a massive success, furniture’s recording company had 35k albums pressed then went bust, they never recovered their popularity, really sad
I'd forgotten all about this song and group. I used to sing Brilliant mind all the time when i was out,one of my favourites.
God bless you tube. Saw this live. How TV has changed - who would now punt a 100% live music show from Newcastle on Friday tea-time? Visionary stuff C4. "MIss You" was indeed a magnificent piece. Great post, thanks for sharing
I envy you... :) one of my all time greatest songs!. A Classic! Love it!.
flashtheoriginal agreed.. but who would want to punt a live show such as this with the shite that’s touted as music nowadays 🙁
Brilliant Mind was on the 'Some Kind of Wonderful' Movie Soundtrack. One of the quirky soundtrack from the late 80's. Love this tune.
JIM GRINNELL and what a great film too.. Mary Stewart masterson OOOOFF
Love the film and the soundtrack
A great version of The Hardest Walk by JAMC on that soundtrack
The soundtracks to John Hughes films all had brilliant underrated songs on them. Brilliant Mind is one of my favourite songs.
My life has gone by so quickly.
It’s not over yet, my friend. We may even get fifty more years.
Outstanding timeless brilliant minds of Furniture. Mindless is the music of today. Hugely underrated song.
Great Voice.

This is the stuff, man. True talent in so many ways.
Just the best, unbelievable. A++++++
The drummer has great skill - really great sound
The main reason I was looking for a live version on YT, I was not disappointed! Camera caught some great shots of him too
Some early melancholic simpleminds sounds there
Thanks for this...was lucky enough to see them live a few times..this should have been a number one single.....perhaps the best expression of lost love in popular music ever......
Jim Irvin has such a wonderful voice...
How the hell did this never get in the top ten is beyond me 😢😢
As I understand, Stiff Records effectively went bust just as it was about to enter the top 20 and no more copies of the single were printed.
That is music!!! No other words...
sublime
Yes, Brilliant Mind...Brilliant Song.
Still a epic track in 2020
I saw this episode. I had just split up with my girlfriend. God I miss The Tube and TV that was brave, flawed and yet brilliant. So much talent there. And we were drawn to it so much more than the polished nonsense we are now fed.
WOW< thanks for this very RARE piece! I adore Furniture and to have this live performance on the mighty Tube is BRILLIANT!
Just discovered them and am very impressed.
Classic 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Saw them play at Exeter Uni - wonderful and underrated
A long long lost favourite...
Awesome band.
Love it!
Why did I never here of these their brilliant
Wow. Just. Wow.
thank you very much for posting this beautiful gem !!!!
Love this. Used to go see them all the time in 80's
The Wrong People finally released on cd and available at i-tunes! Finally! Brilliant Mind is without doubt my favourite 80's track. Sublime, thanks for posting!

Wow, thanks for this. I bloody loved The Wrong People!
Amazing
@4.50 Ok chaps this is how we we set the standard
Awesome !👍👍👍
Sally Still on bass. I used to work with her brother Michael back in 1988 at a printers in Holborn.
Sally, if you read this please can you let me know what your brother is up to these days?
@@ZeldaFitz i thought it was jo brand
GogMutherFuckin Damnit. This was really good. Didn't know a woman was on bass. Fucking Sweet.
Wow-never saw this version. But sadly yet another that chops the sax solo which is the pinnacle of the song!?!? Still a great song and a great bassist and bass line.
My favourite performance from The Tube: I Miss You was spellbinding
wow
Anyone out there 2019?
I salute you, my friend.
wow thats all just wow!
We must all be out of our brilliant minds, and he is not trying to look like Steve Harley at all! Beautiful.
exellent drummin
Yes, that's an excellent point. I agree with you

@@eightiesmusic1984 Great reply. Must have taken you ages to type it.
@@eightiesmusic1984 There was nothing to reply to!
Watts !!!!
4:54 is where the relay good part starts.
❤
❤️🙌❤️
All that with a broken drum set and background singer who is outside of the range. Still sounds better than 95% of today's music!
The Range as in the furniture shop?
LETS ALL BACK THERES FUCK ALL A HEAD WITH MUSIC
Anyone know where I can get some live bootlegs of this band?
Brilliant!?!!!!!!?!!!??!!!!!!
You know that look
Hami and Tim!!!
She who must be obeyed
Some call she who waits
Hey furniture may we borrow your equipment?
I'll bet Guy Garvey was a fan ;)
No one wants to listen ... cause everybody's YELLING! +
Obviously 11 people who do not have a clue as of 19/05 /2020
The cymbal is broken on the drummer's left side.
ooh that must have been nice for you :)
4:45
@rouens Is Paula Yates dead now?
She is
@michelformika - how do you know the set was broken. Just out of interest.
novamotel23 - you can see that it’s split and a sharp edge is sticking up.
@londrinho Oh yes, she did, i forgot. Thanks anyway, I was pissed out of my face when I asked that. You forget who is dead and who is alive!!
Not sure
We
Tial
A very similar vibe to Pulp
Way before pulp though
I agree. That slightly off key sound is similar. Acrylic Afternoons?
@@saveygirl8198 Pulp started in 1981
@@ZeldaFitz Pulp sounded nothing like this in 1981 or 1986, they were still ripening nicely
Yes, I can hear that in the keyboard and the metronomic rhythm from some of their songs.
Amazing song stunning . But doesnt the bass player looked totally bored!
I didn’t know Dawn French was a guitarist
😁😁😁😁
Is this still 1986 or the 2020's? Shame you didn't have anything to say about her talent. Shame, shame on you.
Brilliant bass player anyway, not guitarist.
k why are you so mad
Paula just no personality
