I sat on the end of the stage and took pics with the first real digital camera I ever had. It was before cell phones and I was hooked. IAMX is Chris.

    I love this version. I love how it is slow and sounds darker and more depraved than the original. The Duran Duran version is all nice and polished and pretty. This is gritty and dirty and sort of makes me feel like I want to shower, but it leaves me satisfied and with no regrets. It's like a hot musical tryst in a seedy motel room.

    Chris Corners live vocals are amazing on this track and suit it perfectly. I have to say that I never thought anyone could rise above Simon for what for me is the best track on the DD Rio album. Many have tried to cover The Chauffeur and many have failed... except the Sneaker Pimps, this live version is even better than their studio cover in my opinion. I had never heard of them until I came across them while looking for versions of The Chauffeur. Thanks for uploading!

    It's great to see Simon sing his harmony part as he probably did during the original recording of this song while having Chris Corner sing the melody. I've learned through reading that Simon is a master at harmonizing with himself on the Duran Duran recordings. I think that this collaboration is certainly well done!

      It's interesting you would say that. I feel similarly, if not precisely the same. It feels like some of the sex and darkness was lost as the years have gone past, and been replaced with a different flavor of darkness. It's more existential dread and cleansing now.

    Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
    All looking for a new place to drive
    You sit beside me so newly charming
    Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress - all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    Way down the lane away, living for another day
    The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
    Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
    My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress - all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress - all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    Sing Blue Silver
    And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
    What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
    To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies
    And I'll only watch you leave me further behind
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress - all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress - all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    Sing Blue Silver
    Sing, Sing. Blue Silver
