I saw them on this tour in Sheffield, so good. I love the end of this song, the bit the single version misses of.. that he does love.. himself.. her.. I always took that to mean he did love her all along, but not sure now..
Loved Neil and the Divine Comedy when I was a kid, and listening to it now just reminds me just how talented and clever he is. And their latest music is just as exceedingly good.
What gets me is the lack of views. This is performing artistry at it's best. The expressions and well just about everything is faultless. The general public in the main don't know what they're missing.
I love neil hannon he deserves a knighthood for his writing ...he is so innovative, he writes songs that are different and complex.and funny sometimes too?.he is unique in the music world and a master at what he does,...i really feel he has never had the recognition he deserves..xxx bless you neil..you have brought me so much joy in my life...xx
5:10 to 5:25 Neil nailed those notes perfect. The big band live sound and this song are like peaches and cream with Neil in charge. Thank you for the post!
Was there. Fabulous gig. First time I've seen this and always wondered why film wasn't released. First time here 17 years later! Short Album About Love was recorded that day or day before in soundcheck. Terrific.
I love this version so much more than the album version. Seeing Neil's extra facial expressions, movements, and vocal flourishes really make it a special performance. Release the full concert, I say!
I'm over chuffed to have found this as I was lucky enough to be there at the SBE that night and have never forgotten it. What a top, top, band, you must be so proud to have been a part of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing.
In my memory at the end of A Drinking Song he jumped up on a grand piano in a kimono and splashed guinesss about, or was it champers. This did happen didn't it.
I'm sure I'm the hundredth slavering TDC fan to say this but a) stellar drumming on this, and b) if you could post the rest of ASFAASAL I will be forever in your debt.
STUNNING!!!!! Found The Divine Comedy by chance, and now I'm hooked!
This live version is a masterpiece. Soooooo much better than the studio one. Love it.
I miss my friend Miggy so much.... I hope your playing those drums in heaven my friend...

Doesn't that make it all the better, it's like our secret then isn't it
I think it’s hannon way. Mass appeal would have been terribly tedious darling
Wish we could see the rest of the footage - this is THE gig !
Thanks Miggy
1996... The year of my wonderful discover about Neil and his divine comedy.... Always in my Heart ,thanks for sharing 👍👍

Genius!.. can´t stop hearing this brilliant song!
Best live performance I've ever (not) seen. Would kill to have been there
Incredible!

and watching this again a years later I learn that Miggy the bass players who put this up has since passed away. RIP.

Great to see this, as even though the film has finally been released, this song wasn't included. But desperately sad that Miggy is no longer with us
How can it be almost 20 years ago! I feel old! :/
Don't look it!
4:19 drummer flicked his right stick. Seen this so many times and only just noticed! Quality drumming.
I 'm late to the party here, but this is a really great performance. A perfect example of how to put a song across.
Me? 5 years later than you
absolutely marvelous.....great song...great performance
Sublime.
Love you always ..xx

j'adore Neil
Wonderful.
Neil (and Divine Comedy) at its best! I think Casanova is really the masterpiece of an entire (and superb) discography
❤️❤️❤️
oh my god THANK YOU!!!
sir neil hannon surely
the best one- he has such a great voice and sense of humour. Saw him in November in Clermon Ferrand - one of my dream
Amazing.
Love these videos Miggy! Thanks for sharing... :)
Genius..
Wow! Thank you =}
My god, Neil was even cooler then!
Quality

Απιστευτος ο Ηannon!!!
is there any recording of the rest?
What is that opening horn part?
French national anthem, la Marseillaise
This smoking thing has got all out of hand!
Is he also smoking in recent years?
Hope not, was wondering same..
noni
Neil is a miserable git. GEAT band though.
