Saw Icehouse at a "By The Sea" concert at Coolangatta a few years ago. I was absolutely blown away by the experience. Took me back to my youth. Incredible musical and vocal performances amplified by an amazing audio system.
This is what happens when a bunch of professionally trained musicians decide to cut loose and have some fun. One of the best performed and mixed live concerts ever. No one will be able to re-create Iva's voice and delivery, but it doesn't matter.. each is unique in their own right. Michaels performance of Man of Colours is moving!! He has put his own stamp on it, and hopefully can continue on in delivering Icehouse songs. Whats more amazing, is this live performance is as slick as the original studio recordings, some 40 years ago... not many bands or musicians can lay claim to this. I dont think people realise (especially those half cut in the audience at the live show) just how good Iva and Icehouse are. They have delivered a catalogue of timeless anthems, that any audience can appreciate, but still has a sprinkling of Australian throughout.
Often ignored, one cannot go past Wheelers drumming as an integral part of this band. Just a fantastic blend of understated drumming just where it needs to be. And THAT snare drum sound!!! Outstanding!
Holy shit, Iva and this band are nigh perfection... To an ageless inhuman level. Paul's drumming is perhaps the best in the pocket live performance I've witnessed since Jeff Porcaro. What a show. How Icehouse never went big beyond 2 hits in the US is a loss. Australia has an immeasurable legend in Iva and Icehouse.
They might not have had hits here, but there were those of us who loved them, I was listening to them in high school in Albuquerque in the 80s ... had their albums on constant repeat.
For us who knew of Icehouse in the US in the 80’s, we did our best, but our numbers couldn’t compare with the fans in other countries. The great thing is that we were all able to support the group worldwide and here we are today, a little older, but still appreciative of this wonderful Oz band.
My God, From 80's 'till now, even more beautiful. Iva has a hauntingly beautiful voice. Hasn't changed in 40 odd years..... Icehouse concert this year...2022. Let's all FKN get there
In 85 Bowie was living in Sydney (circa 'Lets Dance') - he and Iva had a 'thing' going on... Bowie was at a gig, Iva spotted him in the audience, then sang with his best Bowie inflection ~ it made the news :)
My kids bought me a ticket to this concert for my birthday, just so I could see Icehouse live. My youngest daughter came with me (also a huge Icehouse fan who now works in radio) and it was the most wonderful night, whisking me away back to my youth. We were right up the back, but the sound quality was sensational! I sang and danced all night!. Thank you :)
I would have loved to fly from the UK...all the way way to Australia...to see and hear this . Anyone that was at this awesome show is very lucky indeed :-)
Paul Ockenden ... yep; and guess WHO will step fautlessly into David Bowies' place doing his own thing and will walk all over this planet and stir it all up all over again...
So rare to see a talented 'gracefully aged' songwriting genius, keeping his superb voice and surrounding himself with talented, good natured musicians, who play to perfection. Unusual also that some of the songs sound even better LIVE than on album, even after all this time. Thank you for letting us see this in HD on RUclips. Thank you IVA. Love your work.
Agreed. Even though there are a couple of songs that Iva no longer sings live, instead Michael Paynter does them, his voice and range is still superb for a gent of his age. And, I think he smoked in his earlier years so it’s even more astounding that he still sings so exceptionally well.
out of all the bands to come out of Australia in the 80's, icehouse is the most musically sophisticated and soundscaped. Iva Davies is a wonderful and intelligent musician.
Actually, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds could easily claim that superlative "most". The styles were completely different, but the complexity was there. It's best just to enjoy the greatness of both bands, without picking a "winner".
Is that the young lad whose singing in this concert? I've been searching the comments to find out who he is. Lovely vocals and different to Iva's, but complement each other so well.
Me!! Have loved Icehouse and Iva for 40 years (showing my age)!! Brilliant Aussie songwriter/composer/musician. Began his musical career playing oboe. A true Aussie icon. Keep rocking Iva !!
One of the best Aus bands of all time. Aussie bands are so overlooked by the rest of the world but would blow away so many of the so-called "greats". I've worked for directly and photograhed so many of the world's greats when on tour and Icehouse.............. right up there without doubt.
ICEHOUSE were the first concert I ever went to when I was 16 in 1986, and 36 years later .... WOW, still some of the best music you will ever hear period ! Every song is like a long lost friend.
Just saw Ice House live April 22 at Kings Park Perth WA. The band sounds exactly like their recordings. All the band was spectacular - my daughter bought me a ticket for my birthday we sat under the moonlight and sang all night. Love you Ice House I hope you never stop touring especially Australia.
Eine Band aus einer Zeit, wo man noch etwas können musste um Fame zu werden!! Musiker durch und durch… Stimme 👍 Sound 👍 Instrumente👍 und vor allem, die Songs in Ihrem musikalischen „Kleid“ nahezu gelassen!!!👍👍👍
Cuánto tesoro destilamos por nuestros oidos con bandas eternas como Icehouse.....orgulloso de mis 60's....pude oir esto en sus orígenes y hoy en 2025...thank you boys!!!!. Mendoza Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Iva's voice is still perfection, but Michael Paynter's vocals are a beautiful addition. I've watched this several times. So glad I found this. This band was so underappreciated in the US, where I'm from, but I always loved them.
Grew up with these guys in the 80's as a teen. Didnt really appreciate the depth and talent. Lost them for decades. Watching this now overwhelms me. So many memories and feelings. Wish i really appreciated their greatness at the time, but so glad it wasnt too late!
It's a good drummer that can stay controlled like this, in the pocket for the whole concert. Love it. Epic band and I've still got it on repeat in 2021.
What a show! Whole band sounds incredible. Paul Wheeler absolutely kills it along with Glen Reither on sax. Not one dull moment for 1.5+ hours. Time well spent.
Een zeer mooi en vooral heerlijk concert om naar te kijken en luisteren van een goede band die helaas buiten Australia nooit niet echt is doorgebroken op twee hits na…… Zelf na 40 jaar hebben ze het nog steeds……….
These guys are one of my biggest regrets for never catching their act live. This show, nearly 4 decades later, is just stunning in its excellence. Man of Colours is one of my all time great songs, and Michael Paynter's rendition here is deeply moving. Well done, gents.
Iva is very smart - he knows he cant hit the high notes anymore due to age and wear and tear so he doesn't bother embarrassing himself, but gets a young co vocalist who can do it, and like a gentleman lets the young guy shine. Iva still keeps his great tone in the mid and lower registers. Very smart and classy, unlike David Coverdale from Whitesnake and too many others to name...
When the "Flowers" album was released I was blown away - had started at Mount Isa Mines as a Junior Project Electronics Engineer - had to order the album from Taudevin's Music Store as the first batch had sold out in a day - couldn't believe the quality of the songs and the production - set a new "high bar" for Australian music.
Iva still has it. Amazing voice. I hope they tour again so those of us who missed seeing them get the chance. Great Southern Land should be our anthem.
I'm in Kiwiland and yes, I totally agree, Great Southern Land should be the Aus national anthem rather than that waffle you have at present (haven't we all?). What band!!!! What an anthem!!
Just like that......boom....i'm a teenager again. I had and still have such a major crush on Iva's voice. I wish, hope, dream to ever see you live.....hope you will once tour Europe.
At the same time there were some other underrated bands while a few of the bigger ones we're constantly kept in the forefront but so much Talent was there... Always, with no disrespect to the really big ones I've seen them all💚 Australia has so much to be thankful for from the 80s music... it also represented a lot of freedom for both musicians and audience... thank you '80s rock music👌🥇
I have watched this half a dozen times over the last 3 days and I love it. Just wish they'd release it as an album and do a dvd. They sound amazing and Iva's voice never faulters. Amazing concert. I live in the UK and they never really made it over here either which is a shame as they're fantastic.
Saw Icehouse last night in Auckland... AWESOME!! I've been waiting for AGES for this concernt and it exceeded my expectations. I'm THRILLED that Michael Painter joined them to sing Kingdom and Man of Colours. Such a treat. Man.. why don't we have decent rock bands recording classic music like this anymore????
@@russtorque2993 Well I do think so, A simple google would have saved you the embarrassment mate... Icehouse: 5th March 2020. The Town Hall, Auckland, New Zealand
As a musician who was a teenager in the eighties, I must admit that only recently I discovered this outstanding band, owing to YT algorhythms. It revealed to me an excellency of the musicianship, as well as the typical resemblence of the spirit of the time back then, joyous in sense we are remembering optimism of our youth, that specific feeling of having the entire life in front of us and a plenty of good intentions to embrace so many possibilities coming out of it. Congrats on mastery of playing and production live after so many decades, as well as preserved authentic energy and positivism so obviously still present these days.
Sound so great still! Saw them in Portland, Oregon in ‘81 when I was 14. One of my first concerts. Envious I didn’t get to see this show. Thanks for posting!

Out here, far away in Germany and 45 years later, the young boy in me is still the same. And that's because my heroes are still around. Thanks
Seit ich euch das erste mal gehört habt......ihr wart und seid Helden meiner Jugend......Danke💯
One of the Best Australian Bands of all time, with their fabulous sound and the spectacular voice of Iva Davies.

Outstanding!
Paul drummed in my brother’s first real band. He was a stand-out even then.

Nach vielen Jahren habe ich mal wieder Icehouse gehört, es war und ist immer noch etwas besonderes! Danke 🙏
absolutely perfect in every way!!!! so glad i grew up in the 80s!!!
My God, From 80's 'till now, even more beautiful. Iva has a hauntingly beautiful voice. Hasn't changed in 40 odd years.....
Icehouse concert this year...2022. Let's all FKN get there
San Francisco waiting in 2024!
Iva channels both David Bowie and Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music in my ears and I love all three. He's such an underrated musician here in North America.
Excellent comparisons indeed. Australia can be proud.
An Australian in the US and I hear their later stuff… ya’ll missed the best of them..
Modelled himself on Jim Kerr from simple minds. Been digging these guys since they were Flowers. Brilliant.

One of my all time favorite groups. Some of the best music ever recorded.
40 years and 40kg heavier
Also a favorite of mine. Their music is other worldly.
Can’t argue with that!
You"ve got that right!!!!
Indeed one of the best live bands ever

Played this live video a hundred times and it never gets old. Great band line up for this period! 👍🤟💯💢💫
Iva Davies is an absolute genius!!
Michael Paynter brings an added vibrancy and dimension to Iva's artistry, without overshadowing Iva at all. Incredible vocals.
Is that the young lad whose singing in this concert? I've been searching the comments to find out who he is. Lovely vocals and different to Iva's, but complement each other so well.
I've been a fan of Icehouse since 1982. I'm thoroughly enjoying this concert. I agree, Iva's vocals are superb.

How I love this UNDERRATED band! Since I was a kid I used to listen to them on the radio. Greetings from Argentina!

Hola,aca en casa En Buenos Aires disfrutando de esta agrupación Que voz!Hermosa!Bravo.Besos

With this great sound, it would be a pleasure to watch most any band or artist. With a few exceptions of course..😎
This sounds fantastic! Iva is a legend!
A man of colours, the penultimate! ... borders on the Spiritual! What a fantastic show.
