midge has never got the recognition he deserves,he was one of the first pioneers of synth pop yet hes never given the credit for all the biggest hits..
Pretty sure he's done ok. The fact that he still packs theatres shows he has the recognition he wants! No one ever says Warren Cann is one of the worlds best drummers, certainly for timing, but he is, he's just out for attention.
@@JUSTA_NOISE Midge has done a lot without people realising it. just look at Visage Fade to Grey, which is still classed as one of the best new wave/synthpop tracks.
I just saw him in Edinburgh (for a second time), excellent live show. Two of the band are The India Electric Company, who have supported him on tours too.
@@nickjh1968 absolutely correct chris payne from tubeway army (gary numan) came up with the original music then he passed it to billy currie from tubeway army who later joined ultravox and said billy work your magic on this then it went to midge ure who for some reason still keeps saying he wrote it when he didnt.
I am a heavy metal and hard rock fan but l could listen to this all day. I saw midge ure live in Melbourne when he did the Vienna tour a few years ago and it blew my mind. Stands as one of the best gigs I have ever seen. He is a musical genius.
@@steveoconnor522 One of those facts that few know, and many that do are totally surprised - guy is a superb multi instrumentalist, and not half bad at song writing too :)
Lol, I'm a classic hard rock and metal fan. Favourite band Black Sabbath, but I agree that this is awesome. So very unlike what I normally listen to. Although a banging guitar solo would have been nice. 🤟
Brilliant. Wipes the floor with a lot of what gets churned out these days. In all fairness, though, the younger crowd I work with also acknowledge this kind of quality and some of them even collect and buy selected stuff from the '80s & '90s.
I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 80s! Have always been an Ultravox fan and seen them live several times, also Midge on his solo tours. Now, at 60 years young, I still love this song, and, frankly, I like this version even better than the original. Well done, Midge and band, you still rock!
I was a total hard rock, metal head growing up in the 80’s but loved me some Ultravox, Hurting era Tears for Fears and New Order. Local Aussie/Kiwi bands holding it down too like Mi-Sex and Icehouse. Late 70’s, early 80’s synths have such a great sound. They always mix well with electric guitar
A good - or maybe best expample - with mixing wekk electric guitars with synths is Paul Reynolds from "A Flock of Seagull". Many people say it was a synth band, but if you listen closely, the real and outstanding instrument is Paul with his stunning guitar parts and melodies. A real underestimated talent in those young years (he was not 20 or so at the recording time of "I Ran")
I remember...it came out 1981 and was after some days at number 1 and stayed there long ... Also Ultravox catched me 1981 and I was at Schwabinger Braeu in Munich watching and listening Ultravox and a sec time also in Munich....Midge Ure is the voice and when I hear this voice I know it is he...he is brilliant for me and sure for more....so: We go and Vienna is always in my mind....thx for this vid
That is awesome. He is just as good as he ever was ...
Thank you for this ❤❤❤ amazing Midge Ure

don't forget Live Aid, it wasn't just Bob Geldof
@@DaveTheWraith Geldof's a boorish loudmouth, a good frontman if there ever was one. Midge is the goods and the talent.
@@DaveTheWraith and then there's Band Aid.. That would never have worked without Midge writing and producing it..
@@JUSTA_NOISE Midge has done a lot without people realising it.

The way Midge-san sings, the sound, and the band are all so cool and perfect !❤️👍🏻👏
I just saw him in Edinburgh (for a second time), excellent live show. Two of the band are The India Electric Company, who have supported him on tours too.
Fade to grey is one of the most iconic songs of the 80s a masterpiece RIP Steve strange and thx midge ure for producing such a superb track👏👏👏
And of course not forgetting Chris Payne for coming up with the bassline and chords for this masterpiece.
Midge Ure wrote this song and produced it.
Agree totally this is it
@@nickjh1968 absolutely correct chris payne from tubeway army (gary numan) came up with the original music then he passed it to billy currie from tubeway army who later joined ultravox and said billy work your magic on this then it went to midge ure who for some reason still keeps saying he wrote it when he didnt.
@@ryderhook7438 no he didnt write it at all ruclips.net/video/AmF_jeokUX8/видео.html
Superb!❤
Midge is a musical genius and part of the soundtrack to my life
one of the greatest synth anthems ever
EPIC MIDGE URE...This man sounds as good as he did in the 80s, Congrats to this band for a great live performance....Again EPIC, EPIC, EPIC....
Brilliant!
... also the name of an Ultravox album ! ;-)
As our young generation fails to impress us, we look to the professionals to redeem the FREQUENCY.

My fav bands of all time are Ultravox and Linkin Park.
He was great when he toured with Thin Lizzy, Fantastic Guitarist

Agreed, I saw Fear factory and Machine head earlier this year and loved it but always return to synth pop
Lol, I'm a classic hard rock and metal fan. Favourite band Black Sabbath, but I agree that this is awesome. So very unlike what I normally listen to.
Although a banging guitar solo would have been nice. 🤟
This is superb. Love Visage, Ultravox and Midge …
Midge, wow vocals superb, great to hear you after all these years
Brilliant. Wipes the floor with a lot of what gets churned out these days. In all fairness, though, the younger crowd I work with also acknowledge this kind of quality and some of them even collect and buy selected stuff from the '80s & '90s.
He's brilliant. I am so lucky to have met him. His work stands the test of time.
Midge should release this song again, as he does a Great version.
Why should he? It's his song!
He has released the very version he performs in this video
@@MovieViking...in what format ? Cd maybe ?
Wow. Just wow. That shredding synth with the voice of Midge Ure
💯 % 👍
This video where you can listen to this wonderful song with this perfect sound and lovely Midge-san's vocals is a miracle. ❤️👏
Check out Midge Ure perform Vienna, up on our RUclips too!
@@StabalOH MY GOD!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Amazing singing and sound from our midge ❤
I vividly remember Vienna being a big thing on my first big school trip aged 10. His singing was incredible then and still is. I’m now 54. Amazing.
Legendary! One of the most important Artists in the 80's
Ladies and Gentleman ......Mr Midge Ure !!
"And they say that in our time
We would reap from their legacy
We would learn from what they had seen
In our time"
A living legend.
I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 80s! Have always been an Ultravox fan and seen them live several times, also Midge on his solo tours. Now, at 60 years young, I still love this song, and, frankly, I like this version even better than the original. Well done, Midge and band, you still rock!
My music from the 80s. Damn do I miss it.
Best song ever. ❤ will always miss Steve Strange ❤
Was für ein genialer künstler mit so einer sanften Stimme!🥰
What a great singer!!!!!! I remember ultravox when i was a boy from john foxx to midge ure...great band amazing singers,beautiful song
Wow, going all the way back to this classic from his Visage days ❤
Still sounds superb!!!
he is so good, what a "voice"
Awesome song performed by a legend
saw him this weekend in CALIFORNIA... so wonderful. what a talent. Blessed to see him.
Imagine being there and hearing and feeling that base vibrating around you ❤
Blokes a genius
brilliant version of this banger....'wishing life wouldnt be so long', devastating lyric...
SYNTH PERFECTION ❤ MIDGE
... and to think, he's actually an accomplished guitarist... with an astounding voice !
Nah. Needs analog synths. Great tune and vocals but this doesn’t work without them. Computers are close enough.
Wasn't expecting that..What a performance..
Absolutely positively fantastic 👍👍👍
I love Midge voice in Vienna or We came to dance but Steve was one and only ❤
This song will last forever ❤
an absolute hit of my youth, must have heard it 1000 times😍
Great performance! I love the new, edgy synth sounds!
Saw Ultravox many times in the 80s, and on their 2009 tour….So many great memories ❤
Lucky you
Amazing, we have talented people like this, but all we do is fight each other all the fcuking time. When we could be so much better, like these gents.
That thunderous baseline is just destroying everything! In a good way!
A true classic of synth pop. Thank you, Mr Ure.
Saw this fella play in new zealand a couple of years ago, absolutely blew me away
Nicely done Midge and band, Rest In Peace Steve Strange.
Love & Respect 4 Ever !!!😉
Just sent a shiver.... and for a moment it was '81. RIP Steve Strange and this is wonderful Midge
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love..awesome performance❤by the way, Midge Ure looks like Patrick Stewart's clone or twin brother❤❤
I thought that too! Make it so 😆
Yup,, Midge Ure still rocks!
The song that helped during COVID times / love this
One word: Epic!
Midge you are the king!
me and Midge have the same hair stylist.....this song performed by him is awesome

I ❤️ Midge's voice when he's singing on the track " Dream on"
BEAUTIFUL SONG❤❤❤!!!
Midge is a legendary pioneer of the 80s that still transcend to the present. This song and many more of his work still stood the test of times.
kocham ten kawałek...a ten brawo, super!!!

Midge continues to be a premier live show!!!! Go see him, he's amazing!!!!!
Stellar performance from the one and only Midge Ure!
