most underated band ever,i was lucky enough to see them many times both times round, even had the honour of meeting the band a few times,the greatest band ever,just so sad that old arguements forced them to split again,
As a child i was a U2 fanatic.When i grew older i decided to compare U2 with similar bands like Echo Bunnymen, The Church, The Cure, Simple Minds, Psychedelic Furs.Just curiosity.Now i know there is nothing comparable to the beauty, excellence of the Chameleons, because i can listen to this 1000 times and im not tired of it.Not the case with the others!
@@Rokvtm Joy Division were great at existential darkness, U2 at sheer excitement but only original and Reverberation era Bunnymen came close to the sheer range of emotion The Chameleons achieve in every song. The best band in the world ever. MOAA might be contenders though. What is really amazing is they are still as good in 2024 and you can still see them in small venues.
Pure Emotion, Happiness,...........................Bliss :) Can NEVER get enough of them. Wish they would play here in Florida? :( Are there fans here in Florida or is everyone ignorant to their existence? Most people here have never heard of them. Thank God there are people out there online that truly KNOW and UNDERSTAND how PHENOMENAL and UNIQUE they ARE and ALWAYS will BE :)
I am so honored to have hosted Mark and the band, back in 2015 for the |Script Of The Bridge tour - Cambridge, MA. stop of the tour. Killer gig! But when he came back a year or two later, I bumped into Mark in the restaurant and asked for him to play "Nathan's Phase". He chuckled and said, "Nope. Won't be playing that tonight. However, there will be a good cross section of material."
"If you were really into this band in their time, and you hadn't heard them in years for whatever reason, then you were to see this video, it would tear open places in your soul that you would fall into and maybe never climb out of " Jeez I couldn't have put it better myself.
Thanks for posting, I have this DVD...Not too many people know who the Chameleons are.... and that's just the way I like it...Good to see some people who appreciate one of the greatest bands of the 80's...
No one ever mentions the drummer but he really holds this thing together, it could be dreary and self pitying but he gives it a real edge and drives it forward. I am not a drummer.
@blacklightposter This one was recorded in the Gallery Club Manchester....this song/video is included in a dvd released in 2002 called The Chameleons - Live at the Gallery Club - The Hacienda....
My fave simple minds cd is " In the city of the light" double live CD.Awesome.All of their studio material is good too, with a special mention to "once upon a time".
There is no official chameleons video ever.They never released a commercial video, just liv gigs and concerts.But i guess nobody needs vids, when the music and lyrics are good enough.Obvious.Hey i never said this band is over the rest.I think that, but thats MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION, just like every U2 fan thinks their band is the best rock band ever.RESPECT, SIR!
@MrSecondSkin I partially agree. I love all the bands you mentioned and I also loved them as well. They were not given their due. But Duran and Ah Ha were pop bands, and seriously, they were not all that bad. They had catchy songs.
@MrSecondSkin we mustn't let the stuff that was born of substance and "made tomorrow OK" for so many of us to be lost in the gaudy glare of what was being sold even in grocery stores next to the danielle steele novels..
Thankyou so much for all your chameleons stuff you have uploaded. I live in Australia so no one even knows who they are....hard to find anything of theirs unless you use the net. Good job ^_^
The Chameleons are one of the greatest bands ever.

The others are easier to listen, The Chameleons grows in you and never leaves.
Love this song.

Won't see a band like this for a long time.
I saw this superb band in 1982 at the Northwich Memorial Hall , what a wonderful experience !
Very underated song of theirs this. That chorus is just pure distilled essence of Chameleons.

These were the real sounds of the 80s.

I am not a drummer.
thanks for more chameleons i can't get enough!!!!!
i have seen great live bands like wire and the church but no one comes close to the chameleons
+1000 for the church mention!
The DVD is called Live at the Gallery Club, Manchester (1982). Happy new year!
How did U2 ever "overtake" this band?

I love this band.
I would like to see them in bretagne!

My pleasure sir...remember....good music was not made for the ears of ordinary men!
The Gallery, a challenging but cool venue, sadly I missed this gig.
@MrSecondSkin
So true...these guys, along with the Cure and others, were the soundtrack of my teen years
Yeah MrChameleons, The Chams are a band of extremes, there is no middle ground with them...!
My pleasure.This song in particular is a masterpiece, in my opinion.Up there with " The fan and the bellows".
A band I ADORE - sigh....
Me too.... such an emotional sound
amazing
My fave simple minds cd is " In the city of the light" double live CD.Awesome.All of their studio material is good too, with a special mention to "once upon a time".
