When some people say that Living Colour were ahead of their time, they must if been talking about this song. So freaking dope. I can listen to it over and over 💥💥💥
I was working in a music store when Time’s Up and I played it over & over. Then came home and played it over & over. This is my favorite song off an album of awesome songs. Could never ever play his leads but learned the intro and verse/chorus on guitar.
During that time, big Jim Kelly, dimebag, Kim thyall, morello and Vernon had the biggest impact on my playing, but same way, could only ever barely scratch the surface with Reids playing...
Yeah, no one could play his leads, LOL.
Although there are many; this is the greatest,....GREATEST Living Colour song ever!
yup...itis
would put Ology / Fight The Fight, right next to it!!
I could not have said it better! This is THE jam! Thanks for the post!
I COULD NOT agree more!!! And What a performance,.... im stunned
U know WHAT????!!!!
I don't think I can disagree with you!
Even though the audio quality is not the greatest, and neither is the camerawork, THIS has not only been one of my favourite songs EVER, and this PERFORMANCE is the GREATEST one of all. Thank you, Living Colour, for being an inspiration for me since I was in grade school.
Best LC song of all time. It distilled all that was great about them.
I love the climactic "This is the life" slowdown near the end. Corey is still an awesome singer, and Vernon, Doug and Will are still awesome musicians, as always.
Damn. If I could give this 10 million likes I would. Thanks for uploading.
One of my favorite bands all time. I was 14/15 years old when it came out and this album blew my mind(still does). This song really reminds me that we each have that inner power to change our own worlds for the better.
My face melted listening to Vernon’s solo.
This is one of my favorite, if not THE favorite song by them. I saw them play at a City Whinery in 216 but they didn't play this ne. I missed out. Still a great show, and they were super nice to hang out later and chill.
Beautiful. Monstrous. Astounding, and yes, one of the best LC songs of all time. I'm gonna defend the crowd here; this looks like the kind of venue where everyone has to sit down at a bunch of very crowded and closely-spaced tables. Tell me how the hell are you gonna mosh and go nuts in a place like that? I think that audience FULLY appreciated what they were seeing; why else would they be there in the first place?
This Song makes me,even to this Day, Nostalgic, theres something embedded in it so deeply that Only those that are on a Quest to Find inner Enlightenment can truly identify with it upon first contact.

I hope you come back to New York in 2021!!!
I'll be right up front; ready to rock out with you! 💜💫✌🏼🎵
I've always thought the lyrics to this song were great. Is there any way someone could post them onto this? It's a very creative and touching song that a lot of people somehow missed. I played this song for my friends (studio CD) & since I didn't tell them, none could even guess the name of the band. This band deserves a lot more attention, in my opinion.
Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for 4
And you're waiting outside jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Ragger and his 1 leg crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
@@k_spats wrong song but i appreciated the effort! 😉
In another life
You might have been a genius
In another life
You might have been a star
In another life
Your face might have been perfect
In another life
You'd drive a better car
In another life
All your jokes are funny
In another life
Your heart is free from fear
In another life
You make a lot of money
In this other life
Everything is clear
In another life
You're always the hero
In another life
You always win the game
In another life
No one ever cheats you
In another life
You never have to change
In another life
Your friends never desert you
In another life
You never have to cry
In another life
No one ever hurts you
In this other life
Your loved-ones never die
But this is the life you have
This is the life you have
This is the life you have
This is the life
In another life
You're always the victim
In another life
You're always the thief
In another life
You are always lonely
In this other life
There is no relief
In your real life
Treat it like it's special
In your real life
Try to be more kind
In your real life
Think of those that love you
In this real life
Try to be less blind
this song moves me deep !! Saw you guys in Brazil but not this one. Thanks for sharing alive !!
Love you, Living Colour !!
P.S. Vernon, your solo is simply AWESOME !!
I'm here again and again.. All time favourite band, song, performance. When Corey doesn't believe Vernon guitar playing after so many years.. :) I wish they going to come Europe again.
I saw them LAST NIGHT at the City Winery in Nashville!!! My first time seeing them after being a fan for 30 years!!!! But they didn't play this!! Oh well... It was still awesome and I got Will Calhoun's autograph!!!
One of the best songs ever written...
Vernon is one of the best and greatest guitarists
Willem Kraaij Totally agree !!
yup. Fret Burnin Vernon
Yes he is!
Greatest and most unique guitar player on earth. I learned everything from this guy.
Hell Yeah NO DOUBT 👍
The live version adds so much more than the recorded.
Great song - Sometimes, the guitar hook just pops into my head and I have to stop and think, what song is this - THIS IS THE LIFE!
Whew!!!..still killer after all these years,and I never stopped listening!!!..saw them w Stones in 89',I was 15..Awesome!!!
Wow they sound so good on this!
It's funny how a song from 1990 can be a guiding point for situations in 2020. The lyrics say everything!! Now the rest is up to us!!
One of my favorite songs ever
Jesus Christ is wish I never let you guys go over the years. Never again.
Hell to-the- YEAH!!!!
If ya ask me ... it's nothing short
of a 'MASTERPIECE'.
Missed this but 45 minutes..on my way home from work...dam...
Well , always is good to travel in the sound of Living Colour.
Tremendous!
I saw them at the City Winery in Nashville but they didn’t play this. It’s kind of weird actually. Right in the middle of their set, Vernon, Corey, and Doug all huddled up in the middle of the stage and called an audible, to use a football term, and that’s when Will Calhoun started his drum solo! I ended up with a copy of the set list and they skipped a few songs. I think they had some extra songs on the list or something. They would’ve never had enough time to play everything on there. I got to meet all four of them after the show but I didn’t ask any of them what the deal was. I purchased one of Will’s cds called Celebrating Elvin Jones and I had him sign it. To this day I still have no idea what it says! lol... It’s a great cd though and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting one of my favorite bands and favorite drummers.
A forgotten "Time's Up" gem.
Después de los conflictos raciales este 2020, está canción es mil veces más relevante ahora que cuando fue creada ! La prueba de una banda y unos músicos que trascienden su época y su cultura, para ser universales !
Appreciate the art. You guys rock. Great song. Great Band.
I like this song. Its the words
absolutely mind-blowing song!
Can't wait for the new album.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
Read the lyrics to this song a few times a year, you will regain your appreciation for life and what you have and the fact that this is an amazing song by a great band! Also how is Vernon Reid not in the top of great guitarist polls??????????
it was awesome, loud and powerful, I love being able to relive the moment cant wait for you guys to come back
Life affirming. A jam. 🙏 For the upload ✌️
What a voice. Other 3 ain’t too bad either! 😎
I was at this show.

Great recording! Thx for posting!
Just love it
they are still amazing - many thanks
So great!
Pure MAGIC!
Epic!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely awesome always! Fantastic live performance-what's old is new again! :)
Uit de oude doos...lekker man😊
Meraviglioso 💥💥💥💥💥
Great performance. Corey what is with the farmer gear?
Bluesman in older age.
Сильно!
I straight up mark out when those heavy toms come in @ 7:48.
Sonic Boom Welds Majestic.... He is second only to Bonham
6:30 so much
Ahmad Arbury, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, This is the Life.
The bedt
I dont know why the band didn't start moving like they can until the last.
I love this song, but the noodling at the beginning seems ironic to me. Treat it like it's special, indeed.
6:46-6:49 - A little "Machine Gun" influence.
solo over groove.....
This is one of my favorite songs of the ‘80s. I love this band at a deep emotional level. This performance of this song just sucks. Corey rake your ducking hands out of your pockets. The the fuck is wrong with you. Sad to see this performance.
lamest crowd ever.....#cityyuppies
It is a winery!
This composition needs more attention from all YT music channels now. WTf edit: I know @tinydesk
