One of the best British vocalists ever! Midge is phenomenal! This guy is out there with a select few. Midge on the vocal range easily keeps company with some of the best, Freddie Mercury and Annie Lennox coming to mind!
Jedesmal wieder schön, zu sehen, dass Midge nur seine Haare verloren hat, nicht seine Stimme und seine Liebe zur Musik! Seit mehr als 40 Jahren Fan und bis zum Ende!
When I heard this at Oxford, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up in the same way that they did when the newly reformed Ultravox started playing Astradyne at the Edinburgh Playhouse!
I finally got to see this a few weeks back, in Stockton. And again at Rock the North East in Middlesbrough in a couple of weeks, along with Blancmange & Human League..
Just never stopped loving this. When I sat down in the concert didn't expect this absolutely wonderful from Midge and Phil ..Yellow Pearl and Ultravox .....Passing Strangers
@@markymark123100 I was there, fantastic evening. Support band were good, loved the crowd's reaction when he mentioned a certain Mr Dolce during the encore, I suspect the Extreme Voice fan club still have a contract out on that bloke... #o)
Bloody heck, there is so much happening here with the combo of these two songs. The first by Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott, originally for his 1980 solo album, and the second from Ultravox's early days. Political. Postcolonial realiites enmeshed in poetic realities of human love. I'm a bit gobsmacked about the cleverness of what Midge Ure has done here... What an amazing bastard he is :*)
When I look back now,I see a very seamless transition for me that when my favorite band of all time Joy Division dissolved for reasons which we all know Ultravox came right in and filled the spot perfectly. There is no band like Ultravox and level of music they made was just mind blowing. They weren’t Joy Division obviously, but for me they are right in the coat tails of them as far as greatness for me. So many classic and beautiful songs like the magnificent Astradyne- the Voice- Vienna- Stranger Within etc and when I listen to them now it really brings me back to a special place in my youth. Thanks Midge and the boys for bringing me such wonderful music and was so glad I WAS INTRODUCED TO YOU GUYS BECAUSE BACK THEN SINCE THERE WAS NOT MUCH EXPOSURE HERE IN THE US. Hope to see you again next year.
Ultravox is my favorite band from the 80’s decade as I’ve always felt that you guys had the forefront with your own style and yet it was not contrived ❤️I too wrote a track called “Passing Strangers” not as intricate as yours but it was an influence from yours ♥️♥️♥️
This is so good..I am seeing Midge and the band in a couple of weeks in Brighton, hope it will be it as good I am pretty sure it will be better. Midge has just got better over the years from Ultravox, his own work , these guys, fantastic- one addition why was he or has been knighted for music and charity, especially as he was as much behind Band Aid / Live Aid as others, he is a marvellous fantastic man
Ah the memories... 1980! and the theme music for 'Top of the Pops' for what, four years or so? Can anyone explain what Phil Lynott was actually saying on the original version? I never have been sure... only Midge knows me thinks although there is some info in Midge's autobiography. 'Yellow Pearl' is such a great riff and this mix with 'Passing Strangers' is simply outstanding... I remember back in day saying as a DJ "...'Sleepwalk' and 'Passing Strangers' - welcome to Ultravox!"
... is the same one Ure's been playing at the live coda of Passing Strangers since 1981. Compare it to the rendition on the Live at the BBC Paris Theatre recorded in February of that year. Pretty much identical.
LOVE Midge Ure Ultravox...despite Gary Numan's whiny pointlessness. ;-) Seriously, for those upset that John Foxx left Ultravox, blame John Foxx (or at least his control freak attitude). Midge Ure rather nicely complemented a band with a missing lead singer, but people act like he forced John Foxx out the way they talk about it. OK, U-VOX was a bit of sadness...I'll give you that. ;-)

It's a select group of people who can appreciate Ultravox.
Selected for taste and soul.
Love how Midge doesn't even try to sing Phillip's part. That is respect.

That mix of Yellow Pearl followed by Passing Strangers made the hairs on my arm stand up.
That’s how good that was!
Classic Ultravox.
Yellow Pearl wasn't Ultravox. It was Phil Lynott. (Plus Midge of course).
Always good to watch a master of his craft at work. Absolutely faultless performance.
Music from my youth....I was a rocker but I love Ultravox, they were a cross-over band and supremely talented.

That was freakin' awesome on the night.
Great concert in Edinburgh
I finally got to see this a few weeks back, in Stockton. And again at Rock the North East in Middlesbrough in a couple of weeks, along with Blancmange & Human League..
The vocal still sounds the same after all these years. An Ultravox fan from Malaysia.
From Malaysia!🤯👍wow! Respect from liverpool England!
One of the few Artist that you can say his voice really hasn't change from his 20/30's to now. Amazing voice!!
Without a doubt THE greatest performer EVER...... past, present or future!!!! Thank you!
This is their most underrated song - yet it was the one that got me hooked on UV. Kudos to the bass player on this track
WTF.... Yellow Pearl is just mesmerizing
years and years ago Yellow Pearl was used as opening music for BBC Top of the Pops.
Wish Phil was alive to sing along at least he tried to warn us ! Such a prophetic song ,
Rip Phil ,
Great piece of music midge ure .
Yellow Pearl with a "young Phil Lynott" on bass guitar!! Goosebumps
How did I miss this - belter, full stop!
Midge loves it.
Listening to this timeless masterpiece just prove's that music indeed is for the age's !!!
LOVE THIS VERSION OF YELLO PERL ❤
This band are truly outstanding!
Just never stopped loving this. When I sat down in the concert didn't expect this absolutely wonderful from Midge and Phil ..Yellow Pearl and Ultravox .....Passing Strangers
I love the transition. Has made a song(s) from the 80s perfectly relevant now. This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

Youre a very intelligent man. I wish we had more like you here in The US as well as The UK.
Midge co-wrote Yellow Pearl with Phil Lynott.

Saw this performed live and it was awesome - Midge co-wrote Yellow Pearl with Phil Lynott and Passing Stangers by Ultravox is a classic.

Masterfully done!
Wow awesome as usual

"They will rise.... They will control.... They will command..... They will patrol... We must fight back!
The Yellow Pearl, they will control"
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack

... is the same one Ure's been playing at the live coda of Passing Strangers since 1981. Compare it to the rendition on the Live at the BBC Paris Theatre recorded in February of that year. Pretty much identical.
