Why was this song not a worldwide smash hit ? - It's absolutely stunning - Why is this man not huge in North America ? He just exudes passion in his vocals and guitar work
@@obviousfakename5828 But he also never cared about the fame and the stardom. He is in it purely for the music. Had to compromise more than he liked already along the way.
An often overlooked thing about Chris is that he could play every instrument on that live performance just about as well as each of the individual musicians. On the original studio recording of Water Sign (from which this is taken) he played most of the instruments.
Makes me proud that Chris Rea is half Irish. He is one of the best artists ever. I'm 50 now & I grew up with him. Can't remember how many times he lifted me up when I was down. His voice is really something and his guitar playing is out of this world. Love ya Chris mate, & thanks for your music man!
1983. It seems like yesterday! I modelled myself on Chris Rea. I thought him and Boz Scaggs were the coolest dudes on the planet, still do, age 59. Sorry if that comes across a bit Alan Partridge, but ...

Голос Криса - это что-то невероятное!.. но всегда с нетерпением жду момента, когда Он начнёт "отжигать" на гитаре. Вот это Высший Пилотаж!!! Браво и Спасибо!!!
I loved your voice and music 25 years ago and you still summon up that strange period of my life when everything was so young and hopeful. You still sound so magnificent and still have all those crazy emotive notes that make us believe..keep on, Chris Rea, you are one of the few! We love you.
I stumbled across chris rea panic in the late seventies he's talented with out a dout And then comes along all the big hair bands of 80s he's got a great voice and he can play guitar with the best of them with including Clapton I am glad to see he's still around you can bet if he comes to my turn from getting tickets
Dearest Chris you should be awarded a medal for your amazing dedication to music and fans Bless you sweetheart beautiful music and so so well done my very best wishes to you and your family Dee👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎶🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍😍😍
I performed same stage, as Chris Rea at famous music festival in 1988 “Rock Am Ring “ Nürburg Ring, Germany, so proud! I still have the poster w/ both our names.
They are. The guy playing guitar (with the tie) is Jerry Stevenson who is a fabulous musician - have seen him play many times in local pubs, when he's not on tour or in the recording studio. He appeared on Wired to the Moon.
@@santamaraJerry still going strong. Saw him playing a few weeks ago, in Dartford, near London. He is such a fine guitarist and a good blues singer too. Also plays mandolin. He's a lovely guy.
@@sarac.3259 🥰..good to hear Jerry's still performing. Lots of talent.👍 I could listen to this music all day long.❤ I'm in Canada.. so grateful for RUclips as well. 😊
Incredible version of this song.From 4.37 to the end is absolutely fantastic.Just music the way it should be.Just so much power and emotion.I love this song wish I was around this time.I was only born in 86.Does anyone know who the band members were and where are they now?thanks
I unfortunately did'nt discover Chris Rea's music until around 1995. When I bought the cd " Road to Hell'. and then after buying more of his music I realized thet I had heard his songs on the radio before but infrequently and he was'nt really promoted that well here in the US. Dire Straits were definitely promoted more then him. And even though I care for their music. I absolutely dig Chris Rea's music and wish I had heard of him sooner. He is " SID THE CAT".
This is beautiful. It's hard to believe that Chris Rea is so talented and has been around so long, yet has not made it bigger than he has. Why is junk so popular when there is great stuff like this available?
A brilliant and beautiful Soul .. and an Artist beyond compare .. and tough as need be .. this is a celebration of such love .. a love he is blessed to know ..

The most underrated writer/singer ever

He had pancreatic cancer for like 20 years and didn’t tour in America at all. Shame because he’s the GOAT.
@@obviousfakename5828 But he also never cared about the fame and the stardom. He is in it purely for the music. Had to compromise more than he liked already along the way.
It was a big hit in Europe, to be fair.
Adorable man.. still today 2024. 💗 Beautiful music, guitar work and lyrics. Amaze me Chris. ✨💯
If your listening to this you have a great taste in music.
Every so often I feel a need to return to this amazing singer and this amazing beautiful Song. Rock on,Chris!!!
I’m an Aussie and have always loved him. I still have this on cassette. Love his voice still.
This song belongs in the hall of fame 🎵 👌 🙌
Life has not been all that kind to him. We are so lucky he is still with us. What a man...a monument!
Chain smoking for 40 years has not helped. This video is from his golden years in the 80's
Still think he is one of the very best guitartist of all times.
that's a wild slide solo

think you mean half Italian !
@@stevefreary7449, Chris Rea’s father was Italian, and his mother was Irish....
Ah you learn something everyday apart from his music he looks like a good soul😇xx
His grandad was lithuanian
Only the good half 🤭
Absolutely legendary song written by legendary author and musician!
One of the best guitar players ever. 👍
I love watching these old videos of Chris! Great voice. He’s been through so much and still great❤️
The best version of this song ever.
THE KING OF GOOD MUSIC...

This must be perfection? We are all so moved.
Thank God for Chris Rhea! Still listening in 2020!

with the amazing Fleetwood Mac as well! 1988, what a wonderful year!
You're awesome
It's beautiful - take the two 30 years apart - and the emotion is still there - I had not watched a young Chris before.
This song just made me a reflection that voice is the GREATEST music instrument :)!
🥰 Still loving him❣ Chris Rea.. fascinating musician! So much talent here!
They are all incredible.🌹

What an artist!
He looks so much better blonde & clean-shaven!
You looked better 37 years ago, too!
Шикарно, обалденно, красиво, КРИС, ЖИВАЯ ЛЕГЕНДА ❤❤❤

"...history... " Exactly!!!!
His Voice...the melody...lyrics...the passion and emotions that he bring in song that is truly outstanding :-)
Amen! I'm sick of what they're putting out these days. Rubbish. Chris is ALWAYS fantastic!
Lara Carter

One of the greats
Great song and singing, and that vintage Red Strat speaks for itself
