Live Aid was originally brought together by Midge Ure along with Bob Geldof. It was the biggest live charity concert in the world and probably will never happen again to such a scale. I spent the entire day and night glued to my TV watching it back in '85.
It's a bit of a shame you didn't pay more attention to that really sad and touching video. It would have also given you a better understanding of the lyrics. They are far from simple.
Warren Cann - Drums, synth drums, vocals, writing Chris Cross - Fretless Bass, Bass, Synth's, writing. RIP March 2024 🥺 Billy Currie - piano, synths, vocals, writing Midge (James) Ure - lead guitar, synths, lead vocals, writing. Love the way you react to this enigmatic 80’s band, their music has remained contemporary still. Listen again and you will understand the story they are telling. MUST REACT TO: One Small Day by Ultravox!
I remember this title two years before the Chernobyl disaster. It reminds us of the dangers of nuclear energy. You can't control everything, I think Midge Ure and the band Ultravox understood that at that time. I like this band very much, especially the songs "Hymn", "Vienna" and "Dancing with tears in my eyes".
@yann-solo7703: Never put Nuclear Power in the hands of Communists. It is in fact the cleanest and greenest energy on the planet, there is no air pollution with NP if its well looked after and maintained, only 1 person has died from what happened in Japan after the Tsunami hit the Fukushima Plant, and the Japanese fixed it pretty quickly, and an untold number of people have died from and are still dying from Chernobyl, Russian soldiers dug around the reactor ffs they are still not being told about the dangers of it. NP is prone to leaks and cracks, but if it is managed well and looked after it won't cause any issues.
Yes, I agree with suggestions. Depeche Mode : Masters and Servants / Blasphemous Rumors / People are People Gary Numan : Cars OMD : Enola Gay/ If You Leave The Cure : The Lovecats / In Between Days / and so much more to choose from ;) Visage : Fade to Gray To named a few.
A bright, bouncy sound but a tragic message, so typical of the 80's, we all went in fear of the cold war or nuclear plants going boom. This covers how we lived at that time. Grabbing happiness where we could get it because we didn't really know what tomorrow would bring. But I loved living in the 80's, despite all that. The music was fantastic. I particularly loved Ultravox, great song, worthy of an approval but the lyrics and the video are as important as the music. Also, mentioning Live Aid, Midge Ure did all the work for bringing Live Aid to life, but Bob Geldof got all the credit, mostly because he kept swearing on the telly. Midge was the talent.
Great song from the early 80s with a great fusion of synths and guitars making it a nice hybrid. Glad you appreciated it. You should definitely react to “Reap The Wild Wind” next. And if you want to get a little deeper into Ultravox there is a song from them called “White China” which is my favorite Ultravox song. Also, “All Stood Still”, “Love’s Great Adventure”, “We Came To Dance”, and “The Voice” are great Ultravox tracks that would be good choices for reaction as well. Lots more as well which I’m sure other commenters will suggest.
Well early + mid 80's as was recorded in 83, but then was released as a single in May of 1984 where as the hit album it came off of: Lament came out in April of 1984!
Neither the title nor the group name reminded me of something. But as soon as the music started, my brain awoke and a lot of memories came back from the last time I heard this song. Thanks for the retrieved memories.
@@joannetyndall3625 I purchased all New Wave CDs , in Amazon.fr . I love extented versions , best of , compilations , covers. What are the fabulous 80's ? Extented or numerous versions , on " Maxi 45 tours " ! At this time , the CD is . . . born.
We watched this video in the 80s and somehow felt, it could happen anytime, whether a nuclear fallout (which happened with Chernobyl) or the bomb, so it did make an impact.
This was a song I randomly found on my own and instantly recognized it as a song my mom used to play. My dad and my mom both forgot about Ultravox by that time and so they were quite surprised I found it, since these guys don't have many views on youtube. I heard from them that they were big, I wonder why they don't have more views on youtube.
Billy Currie is the man I found Ultravox in 1990 when I used to go to the thrift stores here in Miami and I found like four of their album of the albums on vinyl and I went home and I played it and I was hooked for Life they're one of my favorite bands and the album's brand new and original copies by the way I just joined your channel I love your channel keep it up if you need any recommendations from early 80s music let me know I know everything. In the 80s Billy Currie also play with a band called visage which lead singer is Mitch know I'm sorry Steve strange
Boy I have not heard this song for over 30+ years. Yeah really 80s. But it was one of those who keeps itself on the side but keeps coming back at you afterwards. After 2 or 3 listenings into it, it sticks with you at least it did with me. Good stuff dereck@ It came out around 1984-85. I remember watching the video clip on the French tv program. Yeah they were on Live Aid 1985. The greatest Live concert in my opinion. The greatests were on there. It was not just a Queen thing as many millenials believe. 🙂 it was an international concert. Ultravox was there too.
This is odd.. RUclips content-id tells us (by the end of the description) that the title of the song here is "Go Buddy Go" by "The stranglers". This does not match at all. However the "Go Buddy go" link correctly redirects to Ultravox.
Hi Dereck,through this voice,that so good,i through for the first time about Love or being in love.Not about the text.Today i see the whole thing differently.But i can still feel the felling i had then.It is the voice that seduces me!!!!😘😘😘😘Great reaction!!Dereck when you starts to sing for us.It is time!!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃💝😘
Dereck you are wonderful !!! What good memories !!! Back to the past, my teenager period. I like this song. Dear dereck may I recomand you the song love like blood (1985) by killing joke ?? If you have time, listen to it.
Midge Ure breifly was a Guitarist in rock band Thin Lizzy for a leg of their US tour, when Gary Moore left the band. Midge states that he's the worst Guitarist to play for Thin Lizzy.

He never does
Midge Ure is a legend...
One of the most underrated guitarists around and played for Thin Lizzy at one point 🤘🏻🤘🏻
He did, he toured with them, he was good friends with Phil Lynott
Finally!!!!! Ultravox .. so many amazing tracks
There's no bad Ultravox track...or album.
If you liked this song by Ultravox then you really want to check out Love's Great Adventure on a reaction video.

And they have shown it 4 months before the premiere of Threads. The band really get the Zeitgeist
And ye daft caunts have nae seen ANY such disasters in the Western world since the song came out.
Today we are smarter.

A classic in every new wave compilation.
80's new wave 💪👌🏻

One of the best songs ever written and recorded in my opinion. 😊
midge is a legend hes amazing beautiful song midge had a solo career in 85 for a while went back to ultravox then they split again

I concur! Reap the wild wind is great but so is Hymn!
Midge Ure is a great artist!

Thank you Dereck ! I pourchased all Ultravox's CD and DVD. You should choose a day of the week , why not Saturday , to play only New Wave.
Or only Ultrvox.I have them all too.

@Pascal Marfaing I have so much.Vinyl,cds,even cassettes I can't play any more.Singles,12 inches,all sorts x
@@joannetyndall3625 I can't play anymore singles , Maxi 45 tours. But , I play CDs , of course , when I cook good food. Yes !
If you like Midge Ure's voice, you should listen to his solo title from 1996 "Breathe", very beautiful song
So true!
Classic 80's British New Wave! Love Ultravox!
Reap The Wild Wind is one of their greatest songs!
We watched this video in the 80s and somehow felt, it could happen anytime, whether a nuclear fallout (which happened with Chernobyl) or the bomb, so it did make an impact.
"We love to the sound of our favourite song" 😉
Solo guitar yesss and very nice voice for very nice New Wave.
Merci Dereck ⭐
Hi Dereck, you really feel the music and you have very fair review every time.
Yes! More new wave @💞

I'm building a time machine to go back to the 80's, do I take someone with me ? 😁
Yes, me! I'm coming with you! Don't forget me! 😁😆😅
Let's goooooooooooooo !!!! 😁😄
@@najiaansari6483 Ready! 💺🛰🚀😅
Sign me up...😁😁😁😁
Love it, love it, love it! Thanks Dereck!
80s new wave at its best ;)
i loved this song...nostalgia memories
Drums courtesy of "The mighty Warren Cann"!!!
Mighty indeed.
Nice
Brilliant band,very underrated
The incredible voice of Midge Ure...
Try to react "If I was" of him😎👍
Its amazing song !!!
Oh la la qu'est ce que j'aime cette chanson merci à vous. (
Valérie de France).
Sing was name checked by the German singer Adel Tawil in his awesome single, Lieder where the whole song is titles of songs he loved growing up.
The 12” extended version is excellent. It has a progressive introduction unlike this version which goes straight into the chorus. This is ace though.
Try ultravox the thin wall is vocals are brilliant
Try “Loves Great Adventure” really good.

Dereck react to OMD another British brand at the time of the same breed as Ultravox, 80s new wave. "If you leave me" I'm sure you've heard of it.
I know you already reacted to Vienna ...but you REALLY need to react to the live aid performance of vienna... You are welcome
Dereck you have to check more of this treasure like all songs from "Rage in eden" - I think this a pure juwellery.
Choose any track from 1984's single compilation 'The Collection'. There's not a bad track on there. In fact, they're all superb.
Ultravox - VIENNA
I love this song and video and all time group and song and video of mine

So 22...............💥☢☢☢☢☢☢☢
Ultravox were one of my favourites along side Japan..... try gentlemen take polaroids
Now try Ultravox song Hymn,it´s a great one to.
Hymn from them is also a really wonderful song. Also I'd love you to react to womack& womacks's teardrop. That's amazing!
Great Reaction, thanks, you shouldn't miss Midge Ure's Solo 'If I Was' - a masterpiece...
He already did that one ;)
React to Breathe from Midge Ure, fantastic song
Interesting when this was released: very much a time when there was nuclear angst, between The Day After and Threads
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻😎
Ultravox/Midge Ure rules
Midge Ure breifly was a Guitarist in rock band Thin Lizzy for a leg of their US tour, when Gary Moore left the band. Midge states that he's the worst Guitarist to play for Thin Lizzy.
🥳🥳🥳🥳
great theme
I HIGHLY recommend you the Extended 10:00 minutes version.
kids think they have it bad these days... we had to live with the threat of nuclear war in the 80s
Je te recommande Ace of base beautiful life 👍👍👍
Sure this one is a classic ( even if for sure the special remix kills everything!). still Ultravox made the new wave/synth pop a real meaning.
"Visions in blue" is much more interesting, smooth and beautiful.
Derek listen to Vienna by Ultrovox
See the end of the video for the link, I did this
Ultravox sing vienna in live aid

Or dance with me and Big in japan, what you want❤️
Reap the wild wind
Try ultavox the voice
This is one of those instances were a reactor would benefit from reading up a little before recording the video.
Ultravox have many more great songs. Try this reviewing this off the wall song:

Its about a nuclear war happening 😊😊
The Voice is a better song TBH oh the bass is not synth it's a real bass
