St Albans (it's just pronounced exactly as it's written) is about four miles up the road from me, I lived there for 15 years and I saw a band (not Ultravox) in this venue in the early 80s. I've never seen Ultravox but I am going to see Midge Ure (lead vocalist etc) playing Ultravox stuff at the end of this month - he's still really really good
St Albans my home for 30 years. One of the oldest and most significant cities in nthe UK, starting with the Romans. And Midge Ure, one of the heroes of Live Aid and a catalogue of astonishing songs.
When I first heard the full Vienna album (by Ultravox) i was surprised that that a new wave band had delivered a concept album. The full album has overtones of Genesis and Peter Gabriel. The beat step change in the second half of the song was a surprise too. Takes me back to my undergraduate years.
A massive hit in the UK only kept off the number 1 spot by some hideous novelty song called "shaddap a ya face " in1981.They made many great songs like "The thin wall " one small day. One of the greatest songs of the 80s and all time. Singer Midge Ure wrote the African relief single for the starving in Ethiopia with other pop stars band aid "Do they know its Christmas " which sold millions world wide in 1984 and then on to organise Live Aid with Bob Geldof so this guys a legend
The "novelty" song 'Shaddap You Face' by Joe Dolce had prevented 'Vienna' from reaching the #1 spot in the UK Charts back then 😅 This is a pretty decent live version, too! The one thing that makes the studio version even better is the use of a proper piano instead of an electronic one. A lot was happening in my still very young life at that time, and I'm being taken right back whenever I hear this song. My 17-year-old Son loves it also 😊 Thank you for checking it out, Cynthia and Chris, and great you enjoyed it, too! 😍👍
Remember EMF? ruclips.net/video/BTNJP8BNlm8/видео.html Both this and Vic Reeves appeared on the same album of covers that the NME put out back in the 1790's
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes are another great Ultravox song. They flew to Vienna. Did some video and flew back the same day. The rest of the video was recorded in London. Covent Garden and the Kilburn Gaumont Theater in North London. The places they wanted to use in Vienna were shut down because of winter. The record company didn't want to pay so Ultravox did it themselves. 6000-7000 £. Midge Ure and Billy Currie were former members of Visage who recorded the big hit Fade To Grey with vocalist Steve Strange Midge Ure later toured with Thin Lizzy. Probably the most unlikely member ever coming from a more synth based band
And I've been to beautiful Vienna only once so far, on a week-long Skewl trip in April '89, but the Music I associate the most with that is actually the 'Moving Pictures' album by Rush! 😃 (Holy moly! That's exactly 34 years ago!! 🤯😅)
The original Ultravox, with John Foxx, was a great band and one of Gary Numan's big influences. He used to follow them around and watch all their gigs and still talks in glowing terms about them. He's pretty dismissive of the Midge Ure version of the band but they're very different beasts. The Ure version was all about hits and getting in the charts. I like the Ure version but the original band, I love. Midge Ure was briefly in Thin Lizzy, believe it or not, and there's a video of him playing (miming to) Waiting for an Alibi with them on German tv somewhere on RUclips.
Yes ! Ace ! Proper Brill ! Have not heard this live before ! This is so well done !Midge Ure seems to sing better live than the studio ! This is a real gem !! Cheers !
Wow, how much effect did they put on midges voice! The 80s was the age of synth pop. Gary numan was probably the one you were trying to remember. I played keyboards back then and had a few Roland's and an ensonique. Great experimental times in music. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Ultravox surprisingly never had a UK number one-this was their biggest song & famously kept off the top spot by a comedy/novelty song. However the singer Midge Ure had a UK number one with his prior Band Slik with Forever & Ever in 1976, then as the writer for the various artists Band Aid African charity song Do They Know It's Christmas in 1984 & then as a solo artist in 1985 with If I Was.
The original video was directed by Australian film-maker, Russell Mulcahy. My friends and I first saw the video on Countdown and we went mad for it and did our thing (pester radio stations). The song reached # 11 in Australia. In the meantime, our Joe Dolce was denying Ultravox the # 1 position in England due to his Shaddup U Face* Not much more I can say. I had a copy of the EMI compilation LP called ''1981... Rocks On'', and I remember being upset that 'Vienna'' didn't sound as good on the album as it did on radio or in the record shop when played on speakers. This song just takes me back to that period of being a kid in the carefree days of 1981. *Joe Dolce was an American, so it's not completely on Australia..
@@ghichens3418 I was part of the studio audience when the song got its debut on Countdown (Australia's Top Of The Pops). We thought he was just some comedian with a cute song and we went along with the joke. Then show host, Molly Meldrum, joined him on stage playing a concertina, and we began to wonder what was going on. Why's Molly joining him on stage, and hyping him up?!? We assumed Joe was some new Norman Gunston type of character that's being tested on with the kids. We thought we'd never hear the song again. Then his song grew into a monster! 😮
@@liveitup67 Wow ! A proper tv celeb !!! But yes you have touched on something v interesting !

@@ghichens3418 I heard about all that. I even watched the documentary about Saville on Netflix. Yuk! I can imagine how much of a jaw-dropper the whole Jimmy Saville scandal must have been. Molly wasn't weird with us. He could be very rude, and he yelled at me and my friends a few times. Richard Clapton was late to the show, and us kids began treating the studio like it was some youth social club - walking about, exploring and talking. Then Molly got on his high horse and yelled at us, and then got even more angry when he saw we were all laughing at him: ''Are you serious, Molly? Do y'self a favour and chill out!'' was our answer to his dilemma. The following week he was chastising Richard Clapton for being late the week prior. Asides from that, most of my experience on Countdown was fun! Nice talking to you.. 😄
@@liveitup67 Thats so AcE ! Telling aTV Celeb to take a chill pill !! Good on you ! Yes nice speaking to you to ,must get outside ,the sun is out the birds are singing ,and i have to weed veggie beds !! take care !
I don't think I've ever seen this bit of footage before, interesting find! I'm not the biggest fan of Midge Ure era Ultravox, I liked the earlier stuff when John Foxx was the singer. I'd like to suggest, Hiroshima Mon Amour, though I think I may have already. Also, Midge Ure needs to call Anthony Keidis, about getting that 'tache back!
Midge also reminds me Sparks' Ron with that look 😁 I think 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' still is the only John Foxx era U-Vox song I know! I'm mostly familiar with their hits together with Midge Ure like 'One Small Day', 'Reap The Wild Wind', 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes' and 'Hymn', plus the 'Vienna' album 🙂
It was Brian Robertson who hurt his hand prior to a previous Thin Lizzy tour, and was replaced by Gary Moore. Gary Moore quit the band during a US tour and was replaced by Midge.
Midge had a Concorde flight from UK to the USA to learn the lizzy tracks then on stage the following night, could you imagine that playing twin guitar with Scott Gorham with less than 24 hours notice. Midge Ure actually said this "I was Thin Lizzys worst guitarist "
@@mightyV444 Midge Ure and Brian Robertson are both Scottish so it's possible they knew each other and that's why he got the job. Brian Robertson also played with Motorhead for a short stint.
Good live version, but the studio version has 'genuine piano' which for me means it just edges this. Tracks you could try are, 'All Fall Down' 'All Stood Still' 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes' 'One Small Day' (and many more of course)
This is Ultravox...MK2......the original line up with the massively talented Jon Foxx as the front man and song writer were imho a more rock based band. They still had synths but they had more b...s!!!! This line up were really on the wave of electro bands spawned by Gary Numan's success with Tubeway Army,especially his hit single "Cars".It is a cool song BUT.....check out " Hiroshima Mon Amour" ......a great album with Jon Foxx. Its pronounced...Saint All bans !! The song "Slow Motion" is an absolute gem
Early Ultravox were a big inspiration for Gary Numan and Billy currie who played the violin here also played with Numan on your video of Are Friends Electric, this song also has a great video and spent weeks in the charts at number 2 behind a very annoying novelty record.
...which still was being sung along to by *loads* of people, especially children - including myself! 😂 I've always loved 'Vienna' much more, of course 😉
While I love Ultravox's Vienna album, Ultravox is the odd band that had 2 different versions. I also love the pre-1980 Ultravox with John Foxx rather than Midge Ure's New Romantic version. Try some stuff from the album Systems of Romance which was much more some early defining synth/guitar rock stuff that influenced others like Gary Numan.
When "Visage" came out with "Fade to Grey " and "Mind of a Toy " who would have thought that Midge wrote Steve Stranges stuff ! The evidence is clear when Strange started to write his own stuff ! Should have stayed on the beach in front of that bull dozer on the Ashes to Ashes Video !Cheers ! Tis a mere joke !
Midge Ure actually played with Ian Gillan for a while. So, today I'm suggesting, Gillan, Born to kill. The studio version with all verses is the best. A very thought provoking song.
With Ian Gillan? I was aware that Midge Ure had a connection with Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy who he briefly toured with but about Ian Gillan I didn't know. Thank you for the info !
I actually prefer the John Foxx period of Ultravox but the first two albums with Midge this & Rage In Eden are quite good. My favorite Foxx Era tracks are Hiroshima Mon Amour & Slow Motion. Ure Era faves are Passing Strangers & Stranger Within. The legendary Connie Plank worked with both versions of the band & Billy Currie plays on Are Friends Electric by Gary Numan & Fade To Grey by Visage. ✌️

A great Scottish singer❤❤❤❤❤
R.I.P. Chris cross from ULTRAVOX 25th March 2024
Midge Ure (the lead singer) is 70, still touring, and still sounds amazing. He's also multi-talented and very underrated.
Makes me feel old! I saw Ultravox when I was 13 years old in Glasgow, both my and Midge's home city. Good times 😊
This was a massive hit when it came out and is still a modern classic!
St Albans (it's just pronounced exactly as it's written) is about four miles up the road from me, I lived there for 15 years and I saw a band (not Ultravox) in this venue in the early 80s.

Their first three albums are genuine classics but their second (Rage in Eden) is a work of art.
I agree that Rage in Eden is a work of art but it was not their second album but their fifth! (well ok, their second with Midge Ure if you want!).
Gotta follow that up with Fade To Grey by Visage if you don't already know it
This timeless classic always produces calm for me.

80s New Wave Romantic at its best.
Love Ultravox, Midge Ure is from Cambuslang, a working class town just outside Glasgow, Scotland 🏴
The live version, although good doesn’t have the same impact as the studio recording. The accompanying official video is quality too.

Yes! I'd always found that to be such an odd combination, too! I think legend has it that Midge had learnt their set in the course of only 1 day!
It was Brian Robertson who hurt his hand prior to a previous Thin Lizzy tour, and was replaced by Gary Moore. Gary Moore quit the band during a US tour and was replaced by Midge.

A kinda strange key-board effect is new to me. It makes the band sound into more modern era, say 1930s, interesting.

I actually prefer the John Foxx period of Ultravox but the first two albums with Midge this & Rage In Eden are quite good. My favorite Foxx Era tracks are Hiroshima Mon Amour & Slow Motion.
