@@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.
@@susanhill8332 Well those two were more tech oriented. And they really pushed their gizmo invention. But by then synthesizers could do that better than a gizmo and synths we're starting already starting to mean less. Pity because the four together were brilliant. As good as anyone. Take care!
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
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 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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

Simply the best,keep watching all these years on,love them.
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
How I love this band ❤
Wow
This is so great! Love the bass/keyboard arrangement on the choruses, more punchy than the studio version
Superb

Great tune!!! I'm old enough to remember when it came out!! Long live the '70s!!!
Wow this is such a mixture of brilliance perfectly delivered
Excellent song
Bloody hell, this is brilliant!
Remember it first time round 1975 kept from no 1 by bo rap!
Yep…
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
It doesn't get much better than this, 10cc classic band.
Absolutely hands down BEST version of this song.
Brillian is positively an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!
These fellows absolutely NAILED it...
Brian
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!
Thanks to Bob Lefsetz for bringing me here.
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
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!!!!!!
Most underated band of the whole 1970s,brilliant.
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!
Saw these guys in Detroit,Michigan. Love This BAND!!! one of the Best band of all TIME!!!
Fuckin A great playin
Love it!
Fantastic band, the brilliant 10CC
Erlc QUE ENERGÍA 👍👏
Just a great band. They play rock blues reggae ballets. Brilliant and unique.
Super song from supergroup, I loveeeeee
The sarcasm is hilarious. Especially the lyrics “Burn me in Hell as long as it pays!!”.
Still awesome.
great song this is to hear and see again!
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. :)
Key board solos ate amazing
What a great band... they swing... and rock... SIMULTANEOUSLY!
Thanks for the post!
brilliant-love this song
Hey to all 10CC lovers!!!
love the riff ace song x
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
Graham gouldman up there with the best simple
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.
Wow! That was just fantastic!!
Absolutely fabulous performance sounds as fresh today as it did then
I'm trying to get my girlfriend to go and see 10CC/Graham. She wasn't very enthusiastic. I let her hear this, and she was like "wait, THIS is 10CC?"
They were fantastic. I'm Not In Love, best ballad ever recorded.
This band is worth any dollar. 10cc. 🎶🎸🎼🎤🦊
Excellent, trippy, rendition of this 10cc classic.
Fusion man!
This version has every ingredient possible: hard rock, a bit of reggae, some funk, some jazz. It's mad! (In the best possible way!)
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.
Brilliant...first time I've heard that song live!
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.
One of the best live bands ever!!
Great post. And what a song.
Graham Gouldman (bass), Rick Fenn (Les Paul 1), and Eric Stewart (Les Paul 2) rocking out at the end.
That was SPECTACULAR !!!!
Absolutely amazing band!
Great song...
One of my favourite tracks ever, from one of my favourite bands ever - it's 1975 again!
One of the greatest and most underrated bands of all time .... the essence of musical, lyrical and vocal perfection.
came here after mrs. maisel
OH YEAH!
absolutely bloody marvelous!
Wow ... incredible fantastic super everything above and below ... that last riff / solos reminds of Lucifer’s Friend Spanish Galleon ... huge
Oh god, this song is magic
The sound is beautiful!
Superb! Always been a terrific live act. :)
Fantastic! Nice sound.
What a performance !!!!!!!
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
Got to add another comment.........simply stunning.
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.
Absolutely incredible performance!
Loved these guys.
I love this
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
