Jesus, it's been 41 years since I first watched them on MTV. It's crazy how 41 years just flashed by. Man, the 80's, what a time to be alive. No matter how much our society has gone down the drain, I'll always have my memories of the 80's. If I had only one wish, I'd wish that my life could be put on repeat from 1978 - 1989 and live there forever. Those were the magic years for me. I lived them, I loved them, I miss them.
@@jonathanmol4489 Paul was very young - just 17 years old when he joined Flock of Seagulls as lead guitarist. He quit the band in 1984 before the band officially broke up almost a year later. Paul stated that he was under constant stress and too young for "the rock and roll lifestyle"
@@jonathanmol4489 Talent wise he did fine. He stated he was exhausted both physically, mentally, emotionally and felt he probably shouldn't have done it. It took a toll on him for a long time. Some people are better suited for it than others.
@@IRIDEHARLEYS I only have knowledge of video. He looked great in the original version. I had no idea he was so young until 4 yrs ago, and that song came out 36 yrs ago? A big hit song is wonderful! I'm sure everyone was thinking they were on a path? His guitar and the drummer made that sound, imho!
@@thedudeabiding1582 Good point but so much of the 80's was good it's hard to claim one year as the best. Although '84 did have a larger number of hits and albums from top performers.
A Flock Of Seagulls I saw them live in the 80's and they signed my LP Album by the Band. Still have the record in mint Condition no scratches. i love this band.
I was there the 3 set Amazing! all musician and over the top the guitar and the drummer super cool ,so I hope this year I be there again , Thank you for this video well dome
A sound and guitar sound for eternity. Not much can compete with that!!! I would describe myself as a rock & pop veteran of the 70's and 80's. Here's a tip: Golden Earring "Kill Me (Ce Soir)" - also very underrated.
Brings back great memories as an 18 year old...pubs..clubbing.. fashion & the music...having said that was also a load of crap in the charts...I Ran...classic 80's...👍🏾
Love AFOS & the Spoons! So great to see Gord Dieppe playing guitar with them but still wish the original members would be touring with them! Miss Ali, Paul & Frank!
@@ohiodemocraticpartydisabil6760 it was a great tour wasn’t it? I remember being all hot and sweaty from dancing to Flock of Seagulls, then the Go-Go’s took the stage and the place fucking exploded. What a great first concert experience!

The band has gone through several formations since 1982, there were reunions with the original line-up, but it never went forward because of fights, which was the same thing that kept them apart, nowadays they are only the vocalist of the original line-up, but the band it is more united today than it was then.
Nobody in the comments seems to have noticed that the guitarist is from another legendary (in Canada) 80's new wave band as well. That's Gordon Deppe, lead singer of the band The Spoons (Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic etc..) They never broke outside of Canada, but were huge in Canada, as big as Flock of Seagulls themselves were. It's always strange to see these mash-ups of 80's bands doing the Casino tours always with a couple of original members mixed together.
@@beardedsparks2825 the guitar playing sounds almost identical.. even though the original guitarist died young, he was easily replaceable. He's not a Page, Beck, SRV, Gilmour, Hendrix,etc....shit, even when Ozzy had to replace Randy Rhodes because he died, they did just as well as Randy.
I feel the opposite, I think the band is really great here, but Mike is horrible and drags it down by not even attempting to sing, he’s just shouting the lyrics, it’s awful.
@@michaelsuder486 _"even though the original guitarist died young..."_ ??? Are you talking about Paul Reynolds? If so, Paul Reynolds is still alive and yes, the guitar *_DOES_* sound terrible. This guy plays sloppy, out of time and can't even be bothered to adjust the timing on his echo/delay pedal to sound accurate. Sounds as if he barely learned the song 5 minutes before going onstage from some poorly played RUclips cover video.
I saw them (him) back around 2005, the guitarist he had back then didn't do nearly as good as this one, but the original guitarist was an absolute genius, and a teenager at that
@@joefuentez7232 I figured that. The other members probably weren't born yet when this came out. Regardless, back In '82 it was totally different from the norm
@@tonydavis2672 if you read the title, it states it was in "2019" so 2019-1982 equals 37. The difference is based on the date of the event not today's date, hence my point is valid
@@PennCentral-jn2ow . . I was going by the fact you wrote your comment in 2021 . . And the song was made in 1982 . . . So your comment is 2021 and the song is 1982 . . . 2021- 1982 . . Is 39 years . . That's what I was looking at .

I miss the 80s. Used to love this song. Had just left school and had a job, was beginning to make my way in life. Times were Good
Best time ever
What a completely absurd story!
@@grantt6573 Outrageously bad!
@@hinterwelter why's it absurd
I miss the 80’s so bad, good times!
Shite. Reynolds was the heart and sole of this band.
Definately
Paul was a unique guitarist for a synth band , he is a highly skilled guitarist and capable of some serious guitarist
I heard he was so young, yet he had composure.

1982 was the best year hands down...
Agreed. New Gold Dream by Simple Minds - probably the best synth album I have ever heard.
1984 begs to differ

I love This band since 1983 the Roland synth my favorite.
nobody can play that famous riff like Paul...... where's Paul?

Damn I had a eargasm ❤
Saw them at Magic Mountain in the 80s.
someone threw a drink on stage and it landed on his keyboard. He was not happy.
Turned out to be a great show.
Brings back childhood memories for sure!
Damn still sound as good almost 40 yrs later as they did in the 80s some bands have lost it . They still got it . Sweet
Anos80 que saudades 😎🫡
Love AFOS & the Spoons! So great to see Gord Dieppe playing guitar with them but still wish the original members would be touring with them! Miss Ali, Paul & Frank!
I love it!
Goosebumps!
Still a great song but the original band rocked this
They are awesome!
Saw them when they opened for the Go-Go’s 1982 at the Coliseum in Bloomington MN. Crazy good opening act
Saw the same tour in Norfolk I was in the marines was Sept 14th day after my birthday

Incredible creation!!! this song is perfect!! a great charge of energy! I love it and love them!!!
Legends
I loved flock of seagulls of the 80s my favorite band! I lost my mind and sang along, keep going fosg!!
Fuegoo es este Flocks... Sensacional actuación..sonido cósmico 🙏😍🔥!!
First time hearing this pure class
Forty years ago today, this superb album came out. Wow!! These dudes should have been huge. An Anniversary tour would hit the spot!! 🎤🎹🎸🥁🕺🥰
This particular song WAS huge - - it remains one of the seminal and defining cultural touchstones of the 1980's and New Wave rock.
ha, saw them back in 82, they looked a bit different, but then again....so did I......!

1982 was 39 years ago . . Can't stay young forever . . . I'm just glad they still sing great .
I love this band....it defines my youth the 80s the best decade in history...🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸💚
I agree the 80s was the best decade. But can't say I was a big fan of this group.
@@jellybean2068 ..Agree I wasn't a big fan...thanks to Mike Score mullet @ the time......but I Ran...WOW..!!!!!!

Meh, they should have got the lead guitarist from 1983 era men at work.
He ain't no Paul Reynolds
Gordon Deppe filled that huge gap from the original guitarist. Love his sound!
Romantic traffic beautiful song 🎼 🇨🇦 💕
Gonna listen to some romantic traffic now thanks
Wowww did’nt expect to find this so many years after…. Thanks for sharing this wonderfull hit perf!!
Ownnn great, back in my youth 40 years ago
Strange times were a part of the environment in the 80's; but music was eclectic and the "Seagulls" were all that and talented as well!
Magnificent, as always, from Chile
Iran supertemazo de los 80s, mé fascina los efectos y sus sintes que usa la banda.
Superbe chanson ❤❤❤❤❤
Age yourself with a song: I Ran came out 1 year before I was born :)
I was 20
Eu amoooooo from brazil ❣️
Its hell getting old!
Damn straight!
Que buena 🎼 mis años maravillosos 🙏
So much good memories from this and kudos especially to the drummer, he's got more pocket than a ScotteVest!
Passam as décadas e esse som continua atual... Foram além, muito além do seu tempo... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh my god they are still awesome live
He
Its one seagull not a flock .
Great band, Mike is fit & trendy still no hair tho. I've always loved this band ❤
just one word great
Damn, this looks and sounds incredible 💪🏽
amazing !!
Saw them at the Lyceum 82 with the famous haircut blue zoo were ment to play as well but they just hit the charts
Its not even close to the dynamics of the original .. But I'll give them credit for attempting to recreate the magic
Yeah,,, compared to that of `82 this sounds a wee-bit flat.
Guitar is terrible in comparison to Paul Reynolds

AWESOME
We’ve all gotten so old. Sad!
Was 12 still jammin it 2021 great song
Paul fue el que le dio el toque magico con su guitarra y su carisma de bajo perfil .
Exactly
Props to the drummer, like clockwork.
Was at this show!
I Love it...
I ran so far away!!
Unfortunately not the original....... ok....... but always THE BEST!!!!!!!!
I saw them (him) back around 2005, the guitarist he had back then didn't do nearly as good as this one, but the original guitarist was an absolute genius, and a teenager at that
Great that any version of the band was out there in 2019! Excellent energy.
very good
Bet you wish you had history like this group.
The drums sound much better than the beat drums from original. Drummer is on point. Such a beautiful song. Wow. 💪
A Paul Reynolds he will never be.
Spot On
still class xx
TRIBUTE ACT
On keyboards is the genuine lead singer.
Looks like a few new seagulls perched on the jetty !!!###
Cool ..... !
The best
One of my favourites!💐💫
Still a good song!
Given it's 37 years later, they still have it. They simply broke the mold with their music and flamboyant hair and outfits then
It’s only the lead singer that’s the same. He drove the other three away.

Oh. It's just Mike. Was hoping for Flock of Seagulls. 🙉
The one guitarist is from the Burlington rock group The Spoons.

Spoons!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mike had great hair in the early 80`s when I saw the FOS live.All gone
Saw them 1982 Dillons on Sunset Blvd. HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA. ANYBODY ELSE THERE?
Om I'm so sorry
Where's Paul Reynolds?
I like the guitar player's band The Spoons.
👍
Song seems to be missing all the original magic especially Paul Reynolds - it just feels like a Tribute Band
