Big Chair is a masterpiece. Should be in everyone's top 5 collection. So underrated. The way they blend all of the different instruments....not many bands have been able to do that...ever
I always enjoy Curt's bass playing. His lines are alway interesting, and you really can pick them out in the song. Lots of slide, almost plays a style that sounds like a lead.
It is just amazing. I get more and more into this song the longer time goes by. But this is a sadness, as I realize, the band was best when it was Roland, Curt, Manny, and Ian. They all contributed to Songs from the big chair, that is why it still is the best album they have made. I like the rest, but this is the peak.
I’m not sure why there was a clip in the beginning with Roland with his shirt off, but I’m not mad at it. I liked TFF as a kid growing up, but now in my 40s I have come to appreciate the depth off their music and lyrics. So moving and political, I didn’t realize it at the time. As an adult I appreciate them so much more and am so glad I grew up in the 80s the music was magical.
WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!! EPIC, for an EPIC song... they are all on the top game, amazing. never grows old, as I had this in beta in 1986 and watched it over and over again, and to this day it is amazing.
as much as I hate to down my favorite 60's rock bands, I have to agree, this is on par with the best of Floyd, The Who, et al... and as a live performance, it's up there with Rush.
Ive met Mani Elias who is the drummer a few times...nice guy!!! He calls himself 'the noisy one at the back' in tears for fears. He has a company called bongos chillis which does chilli jams and various other chilli themed relishes pastes etc and does the artisan markets in the north west uk. Look him up online...him and his wife are a lovely couple...very down to earth.
O instrumental e a sintonia dessa música e sensacional. A banda TFF nem se fala. Curt Smith,bass, Roland orzabal,vocals,guitar, Ian Stanley,keybords ,many Elias,dums.
excellent video & sound quality! Thx 4 posting! Curt's adorably cute and really into his bass playing (check him at 4:12). Roland's soaring voice fits this song like no other. Great video! Love it!
What was the song played before this began? I seem to recall two saxophone songs in a row where they mixed together one after another and it was amazing!
Props to all the players and a special shout out to Will Gregory - seen throughout this video on the Saxaphone. His soulful playing etched every note into memory. Love it forever!
Eddie Vedder is good but he can't stand in Roland's shoe. He's a distant # 2 wayyyyy behind Roland. Matter of Eddie and Roland have that obsessive drinking in common. It's affected Eddie's voice but not Roland. However, the drinking has affected Roland's aging a lot, while Eddie still looks good for 55. I think Roland is 58 in a few weeks.. Today is 8/8/2019.
if some one had this version of "the working hour" without commentaries and video cuts....talk for me....like a manny elias talked for me all versions of "the working hour", had some difference on drums bet...
1) 5:08 Razzo Magazine ?? some kind of the ridiculous reporter didn't know the band name exactly. 2) but I understand him, the year of 1985, TFF and A-ha had invaded newly the world pop-rock scene. 3) I love so much Will Gregory' saxophone solos, he's now still member of Goldfrapp.
What a gift to be able to sing like that!
Sad the 80´s are gone forever.... The emotions I feel every time I hear the working hour... What a song!!
Big Chair is a masterpiece. Should be in everyone's top 5 collection.
So underrated. The way they blend all of the different instruments....not many bands have been able to do that...ever
Isso True...
This is the best tears for fears song ever heard and I love the saxophone to Roland has such a beautiful great voice.
I always enjoy Curt's bass playing. His lines are alway interesting, and you really can pick them out in the song. Lots of slide, almost plays a style that sounds like a lead.
My favorite TFF song.
It's more than a song by the way, it's pure masterpiece.
Yes, it is totally.....super fan.....too...
@@nakadai4444 The same... Love it! A perfect joke from Roland "we call The Beatles"...
You have never lied!!
the moment I fell in love with him
It is just amazing. I get more and more into this song the longer time goes by. But this is a sadness, as I realize, the band was best when it was Roland, Curt, Manny, and Ian. They all contributed to Songs from the big chair, that is why it still is the best album they have made. I like the rest, but this is the peak.
Manny Elias's drums on this are magnificent!
One of my all-time favorite 80’s songs. Just beautiful in all aspects. Lyrics, bass, drums, piano and a saxophone!
I always like how Manny has this little grin while he plays, like he is so happy to be there and perform for us. He seems very likeable.
Roland's voice is amazing omg 4:52 perfection ! One of my favorite songs from tears for fears
I know... Outstanding!!
"YEEEAHHH" amazing Roland.
he is a rare talent!
A good Portsmouth boy. This is one of their best songs.
The 80s, the best decade!.
Thank goodness for The Working Hour!!! Love this song.
The SOUND these guys put out in the 80s. I was a teen then and Songs From a Big Chair was one of my first CDs
Roland's voice blows me away. I'm having a rebirth of Tears for Fears mania after 30 years!
The best thing is you can actually see them live again!
I'm having mine now in 2022. lol Cheers!
TFF supreme 80s- this song KILLS ALL. Ultimate 80s FEELING NEVER let go!!!!

Songs from the Big Chair is top 5 all time for me. Just mind blowingly good.
WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!! EPIC, for an EPIC song... they are all on the top game, amazing. never grows old, as I had this in beta in 1986 and watched it over and over again, and to this day it is amazing.
Two of the greatest voices of our time. Very underrated.
I will always love Songs From The Big Chair. FANTASTIC ALBUM TOP 10, Possible 5 of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUMS!!, the dj
the big chair did it for me!!!! GREAT GREAT GREAT GROUP!!!!
There's something about this song that's me feel so damn good
Eu tenho esse LP de 1985,grande banda dos 80,a altura das grandes com certeza,
Amazing song Roland's voice God next level I wish I cud of been there in 85 I was about in 85 but I was only 3 years old lol
If only we can get hold of this particular track! So beautiful!
By far I love Toto but this song is by far my most favorite musical pieces in history I love everything from how natural and organic the music sounds.
this has everything it that made the 80s decade superior over any other decade. It was just the best.
Wonderful music,timeless!! ❤
Best song they ever did ❤
best song Tears For Fears great album best time spring summer 1985!!!
This song is so special, never gets old. Great work, Manny.
Out of this world, the 80s, the best decade and of course tears for fears is number one.
Exactly 100%!!!
Simply mind blowing!
Also, I have heard very few bassists that grabbed my attention like Curt. I can always pick out his bass lines, just seem so original in his approach.
MASTERPIECE we can just make a reverence
Essa música é linda ♥️
Miticos, geniales, grande gruppo del 80 😘😘😘😘❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Still just amazed by this song..
I so wish they would return to this kind of sound.
yeah- the pure TFF 80s sound- when they were top notch.

You should check 1975. It's my fav band now because of the sound. Reminds me of the 80's tunes.
as much as I hate to down my favorite 60's rock bands, I have to agree, this is on par with the best of Floyd, The Who, et al... and as a live performance, it's up there with Rush.
Goldfrapp's Will Gregory playing saxophone. Amazing!
I love hearing about the creative process a song takes shape through. How ever...why would I want to hear about it DURING THE BUILD UP OF A LIVE TAKE
Manny Elias getting OFF! Great drummer. Catch him on facebook: Mannyeliasdrums
Still love it. Just amazing.
Little Boy of the sax is wonderful!Come back to Brasília Brasil!
The saxophonist is Will Gregory, co-founder of Goldfrapp
I love Tears for Fears.❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤

i LOVE tears for fears.
Musica Linda demais!
Bons tempos!
amazing song !
Best song on the album. And that is saying something.
O instrumental e a sintonia dessa música e sensacional. A banda TFF nem se fala. Curt Smith,bass, Roland orzabal,vocals,guitar, Ian Stanley,keybords ,many Elias,dums.
Still loving it.
LA voz de Orzabal y el Saxo..... perfecta conjunción!!!
excellent video & sound quality! Thx 4 posting! Curt's adorably cute and really into his bass playing (check him at 4:12). Roland's soaring voice fits this song like no other. Great video! Love it!
Absolutely Awesome👍🏼👍🏼
2019 August ??? This is the music That I Missed!
Great musicians here
David Allen the best...
Esta musica e linda.
I used to listen to this before heading off to work.
Only other band I have heard that is this good in concert... Pink Floyd.
Yo! Thank you for this...EXCELLENT!
What was the song played before this began? I seem to recall two saxophone songs in a row where they mixed together one after another and it was amazing!
Me encanta Tears for fears!!!
Props to all the players and a special shout out to Will Gregory - seen throughout this video on the Saxaphone. His soulful playing etched every note into memory. Love it forever!
Best version ever. live or not
Bravo bravo i love this band I wish I was born in the 80's not 2001
And now your 22! Wow! I hope you still love them!
Ian Stanley
Sinfully timeless...
I do think Ian and Manny were missed later.. whatever their contribution, the sound on the second album always seems like "peak" TFF to me.
Essa música é maneira 🎵😐🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵😀😀
4:45 eat your heart out, eddie vedder
Eddie Vedder is good but he can't stand in Roland's shoe. He's a distant # 2 wayyyyy behind Roland.
Matter of Eddie and Roland have that obsessive drinking in common. It's affected Eddie's voice but not Roland. However, the drinking has affected Roland's aging a lot, while Eddie still looks good for 55. I think Roland is 58 in a few weeks.. Today is 8/8/2019.
Why fucking compare? Why not enjoy both?
Phenomenal
Where this record is from? Some TV show? Can I find the full footage?
Great minds revealed, in music industry,,,,,
At the start lol Oh hai Roland *-*
Great upload, thanks !
@TFF11 The Piano? Nicki Holland and Ian Stanley.
agreed- him and maybe Derek Forbes from simple Minds- jyst 2 awesome bands in the early years
This is an Anthem
Excellent
love me some nicky holland
I love that she's barefoot whilst playing....
if some one had this version of "the working hour" without commentaries and video cuts....talk for me....like a manny elias talked for me all versions of "the working hour", had some difference on drums bet...
So close to the album track it's incredible....I'm still doubting that this isn't singing over the actual recorded version.
Lovely Emmanuel at the end there...
Nockles.. Nicky Holland
nicky holland on piano, ian stanley on keyboards
awesome
6:00 don't look no good
Who was on the Piano?
Complements, on drums and sucks i got this Roland and Kurt.
Southeast, nahuari andar .greats.
@5:15 it cracks me up everytime!
Oh those memories of this cassette in my 1980 Z-28 Camaro - Jensen / Pioneer stereo - lol
Later Nicky (nicknamed Nockles) co wrote with Orzabal.
Nice...
Just an awesome song. Maybe maybe my all time favorite. Better than Floyd? Well, more soulful than PF anyway, at least.
1) 5:08 Razzo Magazine ?? some kind of the ridiculous reporter didn't know the band name exactly.
2) but I understand him, the year of 1985, TFF and A-ha had invaded newly the world pop-rock scene.

@1CaptUnderpants does it matter if they are gay? Really?
