@@susanhill8332I could not even guess how much I played their first 4 albums. And they were hilarious too. Could poke some fun with the best, or better.
@@boulevardbluebandYes loved the satirical wit in the lyrics. Such a shame they broke up. Godley and Creme seemed to lose the plot with the disappointing " Consequences" triple album. But fond memories non the less.

I've been playing guitar for about 25 years, and I've been trying to learn this live version for 3 days solid now. The instrumental at the end almost has me at breaking point. Insane skills on display here. This band with this lineup was just unbelievable.
He wrote "For Your Love" and "Heartful of Soul" for the Yardbirds and "Bus Stop" for the Hollies, and "No Milk Today" for Herman's Hermits among others
Question?,, What makes Any One "not like" this version? A simple mind? Poor cognitive skills? No musical sense? A clueless and uncomprehending naivete? Compared to the studio version this version is more complex, more intuitive, more virtuosic and more vibrant. These guys were a cornerstone of my music library in the mid 70's to mid 80's. I wore out their records while my ZepHead friends told me that 10cc were "ditty writers". NOT. I didn't know there were live versions of them performing so now I can re-discover 10cc. What a joy to find these video's! Thank you! imagine 1960 and 10cc Fan Club!
Walking into my home town I suddenly heard a tune I knew the opening to so well. A guy in a disabled buggy came nearer with "Art for Art's Sake". BLASTING out. I had to give him a cheer & raised hat as he went by. One of 10cc's best tunes & a vinyl 45 I spin often. "Art for Art's Sake, Money for God's sake" is the cry of many an artist & musician
Oh my god!!!!! How bloody talented are these guys? I loved how there was no lead singer in this band, they all participated in process from song writing to vocals and multi instrumentalists.
This is my favorite live version at Wembley in 1982. Most marvellous performance! Eric Stewart is sooo cool!! He's the greatest guitarist. I'm completely fascinated. Getting goose bumps!
10cc probably the most musically tight band out on the circuit total professional entertainers don’t take my word go to see them on tour NOW you will walk away buzzin for daze
I tell anyone who will listen, 10cc's 1977 "Deceptive Bends" tour at the historic "Tower Theater" in Upper Darby PA. (West Philly) Ì remember poking my buddy in the ribs after 5 songs and saying; "This is the best band I have ever heard live." And that's saying something considering I've attended 1011 concerts since 1973 and seen em all, the "best of the best" live. Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, ELO, ELP, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Billy Joel, Eagles, J Geils, Bob Seger, Queen, Alan Parsons, Kansas, Joe Bonamassa and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Wow this absolutely blew me away, i have become obsessed with listening to it, love the instrumental in the middle and the wicked guitar skills of eric stewart. So underrated yet so talented.
These guys are talented 20 times over. They can all sing, they all are excellent players, each one is a band of themselves, it dont git much better than this folks.
Amazing stuff. Saw them at Wollongong EC a few years back. Seriously one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I seen a few too. So tight and true to the original sound.
This is just amazing! The synthesizer solo by Vic Emerson (?) is really the coolest and most creative use of the Yamaha CS-80 that I've ever heard, the ribbon bends are wicked! Also the duel guitar leads by Stewart and Rick Fenn kick major ass. 10cc really made some of the best music ever. Thanks for posting this gem!
I am bummed that I did not follow these guys after their big hit I'm Not in Love". Technology has made it much easier to acquire their music without having to jump through a lot of hoops. I think it did require a more refined taste to follow these guys in the 1970's. I have discovered a lot of neat 1970's groups thanks to RUclips. Another individual that I found thanks to yt is the late great Ronnie Lane and his former band Small Faces/Faces. Once again since I am in the states instead of the Uk exposure was somewhat limited unless I I imported more albums. 10cc or Faces did not have the marketing arm or outreach of say Queen or Stones. So if we were lucky we could stumble on them thanks to a good buddy. Otherwise it was pot-luck. These guys were pure geniuses. Well I can get my ears tickled anytime I want to now!
@@nathanfrahm Definitely. They didn't hit their slump until "Look Hear," but even their lesser albums were great...with the obvious exception of their last one "Mirror Mirror." You could tell they were sick to death of each other. I'm still trying to find the remastered vinyl albums that came out a couple years back. The American copy of "Sheet Music" is really bad, and I'm hoping the new one is better.
I Started playing music because of punk which freed me from that provincial idea that only celestial beings had the power to produce verse and melody BUT, I grew up listening to beautifully played music by the likes of 10 cc and I will always admire their virtuosity !!!
saw them twice at wembly and five times at hammersmith odeon naturally hooked on them great songs brilliant musicians bought all their albums in the 70-80 s now watching them all here brings back great memories
10cc have got to be the best pop musicians that have ever performed. I saw them in Liverpool last Saturday and I am still astounded as to how good they are after all these years. Just no band near as good as them. Loved the show!!!!!

My dad used to play this(and all their others)when I was a nipper growing up in the 70s and I still know all the words to this tune.Absolutely excellent band.But it's gonna be when you've got Godley and Creme in it. Very tight playing.
Yes indeed. I was a child in their big period, while Dreadlock Holiday was a hit in my early teenage years. Underrated is a good term for them, while they were a band that when I was growing up I could always recall a song of theirs. The English Steely Dan, who I also like in much the same way.
Forgot to mention that if ya want to get the full of their music, a very good sound system is mandatory. Try a 100+ watt McIntosh amp & pre amp pushing a pair (or a quad) of non-efficient boxes (3 or 4 way speaker driver system). Not this mp3 crap or worse into earbuds thing. Definitely not. You just gotta hear the seperation; each instrament & voice here and there. If you ain’t been there then this is impossible to explain. Later.
First time I ever heard THIS song, without knowing 10cc, I thought it was Frank Zappa and the Mothers. Great song and a great album as well. There was another song on "How Dare You" called "Iceberg" that also had a Zappa-influenced sound. 10cc was a very talented and creative band. Definitely one of the more underrated groups of all time.
![NLE Choppa - Or What ft. 41 (Orchestra Mix) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/biOFASEgSOM/mqdefault.jpg)
Such an incredible band, recording, live and songs for others. No where near the widespread recognition deserved. To me one of the great bands ever.
Couldn't agree more. Legendary band. Still play my scratched "Sheet Music". One of greatest albums ever.

agree, not all can play a guitar like that
I've been playing guitar for about 25 years, and I've been trying to learn this live version for 3 days solid now. The instrumental at the end almost has me at breaking point. Insane skills on display here. This band with this lineup was just unbelievable.
I know. I saw them live, 🎤🎸🎶🎼🦊
Insane skillz indeed
Loop
This sort of unbelievably good music only comes out of England ❤
Don't give up keep trying to achieve this performance many of the fans of this song wants to know that You finally reach this objective.
Simply the best,keep watching all these years on,love them.
Brilliant. Graham Gouldman.One of the most underestimated song writers and bass players on the planet.
Just could not sing though 🤦♀️
He wrote "For Your Love" and "Heartful of Soul" for the Yardbirds and "Bus Stop" for the Hollies, and "No Milk Today" for Herman's Hermits among others
@@suemcdermott231 Well he had Eric, Kevin and Lol for that, but he wasn't THAT bad.
Underestimated by whom?
@@suemcdermott231 he sure can
It doesn't get much better than this, 10cc classic band.
Question?,,
What makes Any One "not like" this version?
A simple mind? Poor cognitive skills? No musical sense?
A clueless and uncomprehending naivete?
Compared to the studio version this version is more complex, more intuitive, more virtuosic and more vibrant.
These guys were a cornerstone of my music library in the mid 70's to mid 80's.

What a joy to find these video's!
Thank you! imagine 1960 and 10cc Fan Club!
what a superb live sound.......clear...concise.... and with great seperation...... why cant bands sound this great now??
Saw them (again) last night at Colchester - still 3 members from yesteryear Graham Rick and Paul - they were amazing
Because today people listen to SHIT!!!!!!
Bloody hell, this is brilliant!
Remember it first time round 1975 kept from no 1 by bo rap!
Yep…
Not too many videos that have this much harnessed energy from start to finish. Harmonies are perfect, too. Crazy double lead by Eric and Rick.
When Rick joined, 10cc became a little more versatile. And guitarwise, a lot more dangerous!
This version has every ingredient possible: hard rock, a bit of reggae, some funk, some jazz. It's mad! (In the best possible way!)
what a blast from the past!!an extremely underrated band .
I feel 18 again..lolz
lizzlered I
That’s what music is all about. What a thrill

One of the best live bands ever!!
Saw these guys in Detroit,Michigan. Love This BAND!!! one of the Best band of all TIME!!!
Today is the last time we willingly enjoy this stuff
Hey to all 10CC lovers!!!
Absolutely hands down BEST version of this song.
Wow this absolutely blew me away, i have become obsessed with listening to it, love the instrumental in the middle and the wicked guitar skills of eric stewart. So underrated yet so talented.
Great tune!!! I'm old enough to remember when it came out!! Long live the '70s!!!
What a great band... they swing... and rock... SIMULTANEOUSLY!
Thanks for the post!

I don't know if I've ever heard two great guitarists this in sync... not to mention everyone else!
I agree.......nothing compares to Rick and Eric's matching of notes. This is an epic jam that involves everyone in the band. A live masterpiece!
When Rick joined the band, 10cc became a little more versatile. And guitarwise, a lot more dangerous!
This is just amazing! The synthesizer solo by Vic Emerson (?) is really the coolest and most creative use of the Yamaha CS-80 that I've ever heard, the ribbon bends are wicked!

Vic Emerson was the keyboard player in Sad Cafe
One of the best groups ever!
Absolutely fantastic,,,,brings me back,,,,those were better times,,, better bands,,,and this is one of the finest
One of the greatest and most underrated bands of all time .... the essence of musical, lyrical and vocal perfection.
one of the greatest double guitar solos ever!!!
Brilliant...first time I've heard that song live!
Two Les Pauls in harmony is sublime !
Wow! That was just fantastic!!
Absolutely amazing band!
Wow this is such a mixture of brilliance perfectly delivered
I think this version is coooool! Cooler than the album one or any other live version that I know.
Mihxail Povorin Sorry dude I can't agree, Godley and Creams voices are missing so much 😕
Mihxail Povorin totally agree this was perfection by multi talented excellent band
My favorite guitar player
toxic badasss I agree
Blown...away....yet again....and I listened to these guys as a nipper and already liked...:-O
13 dislikes!!! I need an explanation from the tone deaf please
this is definitely a very enjoyable song and their performance meets the excellence!!!

How Dare You was one of the greatest albums I ever heard back in the 70s. I played it to death.
@@nathanfrahm Definitely. They didn't hit their slump until "Look Hear," but even their lesser albums were great...with the obvious exception of their last one "Mirror Mirror." You could tell they were sick to death of each other.

Loved this band in the 70s and still love them now 😍
Had this song in my music tech exam. Was so good couldn't stop listening to it :D
Brillian is positively an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!
These fellows absolutely NAILED it...
Brian
The music will never fade great band well done🎸
Just passing thru in 2020....Cheers from Australia :)

Saw 10cc live at Hereford in the early 70's, great, wonderful songs. Pity Graham & Lol left.
I'm sure you meant to say Kevin & Lol. :)
another very under-rated band & this is one of my theme tunes, love it live cheers
One of my favourite tracks ever, from one of my favourite bands ever - it's 1975 again!
Superb! Always been a terrific live act. :)
I grew up listening to 10cc, my brother told me not to, but love the music 👍!!
Me and my wife went to see them in Adelaide a couple of weeks ago. Wow what a great night everyone had.
10cc have got to be the best pop musicians that have ever performed. I saw them in Liverpool last Saturday and I am still astounded as to how good they are after all these years. Just no band near as good as them. Loved the show!!!!!
Excellent, trippy, rendition of this 10cc classic.
The GREATEST pop band of the 70's. Totally brilliant and unique...I gotta go lie down.
Absolutely fabulous performance sounds as fresh today as it did then
Fantastic band, the brilliant 10CC
Absolutely incredible performance!
What a great live band! Complex tune played to perfection!
hard to believe this outstanding performance was 37 years ago!
I saw them with my Dad at Leicester's De Monfort Hall in March of that year ❤️👍😊
@@andreassmith8086 COOL
The sarcasm is hilarious. Especially the lyrics “Burn me in Hell as long as it pays!!”.
This is on another level! Brilliant
That was SPECTACULAR !!!!
timeless brilliant live music,how i miss my twenties
+Russell Hogg Yes and How I miss my teens cuz I saw them with Slade at Chicago's Auditorium theater in 1974 and I was just 17 !!
Fantastic! Nice sound.
what a talented bunch... true muzos... playing live..as it should be!!
Loved these guys.
Lyrics ~
Gimme your body
Gimme your mind
Open your heart
Pull down the blind
Gimme your love gimme it all
Gimme in the kitchen gimme in the hall
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Art for Arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Gimme the readys
Gimme the cash
Gimme a bullet
Gimme a smash
Gimme a silver gimme a gold
Make it a million for when I get old
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Art for Arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Money talks so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat Oh no
When you get down, down to the root
Don't give a damn don't give a hoot
Still gotta keep makin the loot
Chauffeur driven
Gotta make her quick as you can
Give her lovin' make you a man
Get her in the palm of your hand
Bread from Heaven
Gimme a country
Where I can be free
Don't need the unions
Strangling me
Keep me in exile the rest of my days
Burn me in hell but as long as it pays
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Great post. And what a song.
Truly an amazing performance. Rarely do you see two dueling lead guitars and a bass together.
When they were on their game, 10cc could rock with anyone!
Wow ... incredible fantastic super everything above and below ... that last riff / solos reminds of Lucifer’s Friend Spanish Galleon ... huge
The sound is beautiful!
absolutely bloody marvelous!
Got to add another comment.........simply stunning.
I love this whole album. Been listening to it regularly, jeez, it's gotta be over 30 years, now...
Most underated band of the whole 1970s,brilliant.
My dad used to play this(and all their others)when I was a nipper growing up in the 70s and I still know all the words to this tune.Absolutely excellent band.But it's gonna be when you've got Godley and Creme in it.
Very tight playing.
This is great. Always remember, GG can rest on the laurels of Bust Stop.
Great songwriter.
Paul Burgess on drums, and Stuart Tosh on percussion....great!
If you have not seen 10CC live ... do it! They sound as good today. And GG tells a good anecdote.
Yes indeed. I was a child in their big period, while Dreadlock Holiday was a hit in my early teenage years. Underrated is a good term for them, while they were a band that when I was growing up I could always recall a song of theirs. The English Steely Dan, who I also like in much the same way.
Happy birthday,Eric Stewart!
Only you are seen. Touch my heart!
Oh god, this song is magic
How I love this band ❤
brilliant-love this song

great song this is to hear and see again!

WOO HOO!!!! Great post!!! Thanks...=)
Key board solos ate amazing
This band is worth any dollar. 10cc. 🎶🎸🎼🎤🦊
Just a great band. They play rock blues reggae ballets. Brilliant and unique.
Aspiring musicians study - this is how it's done right!
What a great band.
this is so good!! wish I was there ...!

What pop should be like. They and XTC--smart melodic rich and fun
