probably no one will ever read this in the abyss of youtube comments under this video.... but i burst out crying once i heard the first few notes of Breathe. it was one of the songs my dad always used to play in the car, and now he´s gone.i miss him so much and i almost managed to forget for a while then i stumbled across this. if you should ever read this, you are a great person and your music has brought much joy to people, even though it brings me great sorrow now.
God bless
It makes me sad that this music brings you such sorrow, I understand why but music this good should only bring joy to everyone. Wishing you all the best for the future.
Your dad will always be with you.❤️
You are heard
Respect...
A true rockstar, musical genius and true gentleman. Nothing but love, respect and good memories for Midge Ure.
He hasn't lost the talent to deliver amazing vocals with perfect diction. Midge Ure is so underrated.
Midge Ure is a f*cking genius. Responsible for so many fabulous songs. The beard looks good on him. Hope to see Ultravox reform one last time.
One of the nicest blokes on the planet....I worked with his dad way back as teenager...Midge was on tour with Thin Lizzy at the time...I messaged him 40yrs later ( I had never met Midge ) as his tour was coming to Blackpool..The guy came straight back to me, thanking me for the kind words about his dad...Vip tickets for the gig...Fantastic show...Legend.
I worked and helped roadie Salvation in Glasgow, and did some gigs around the areas that formed this man..they went on as SLIK..got a crappy number 1 song..none of them really liked....then they kinda faded...The original band Salvation were a big hit...Midge had that front man thing.... with Kevin and Jim McGinley, Billy on Keyboards... Midge Ure was a great guy then, they all were...Proud to sit back to day and still see the talent we all knew ha had, still be seen for what it is...Long live Midge....I say hello to him every year as he he conducts that awesome star studded CHRISTMAS song.......the song that reminded who Midge was, and deserved to be.....Great days indeed.
Great setlist that doesn't even scratch the surface of all the great music he's been part of over the decades. HYMN is just epic.
WOW! Midge in fine form. Vienna is incredible
Just watched the concert in (Live Aid 1985) and I fall in love. And now 35 years late this amazing presentation von Midge Ure ♥️.
he's gotten better, it's amazing.
Pure magic. Listen to ultravox way back in the early 80s. Midge powerful voice range. Incredible!!
You are so very right, I have always loved Ultravox and a Friend of Mine turned Me onto OMD, and now love both bands equally and switched them back & forth back in the '80s!

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
@@bluemonday2921 hahahahahaha
WOW, just....WOW Midge, your voice is still amazing!! We love you!
His voice is magical
Jesus, he really does have amazing pipes still, and he’s not falling into that trap of older singers where they let the phrasing get all loose over the beat. His enunciation, groove, tight but impassioned delivery... the only thing age seems to have done is add a slight smokiness to his tone, but that’s really not a bad thing. Love the crackle on some lower notes, he uses a sort of subharmonic technique to slightly growl them in, it sounds brilliant. I’m a professional singer myself and if I still have half the voice Midge does when I’m his age I’ll be delighted. ROCK ON BROTHER!
Are you a child of God?
What you are trying to say is.....he still sounds Scottish !!
Someone who knows what they are talking about on youtube at last! I agree with you, actually I'm amazed how good Midge still sounds. I was a bit too young to be into Ultravox back in the day but I'm listening to them a lot now and they were/are such an underrated band.
Yh hate it when they don’t sing the songs like they 7sed to do...Elvis Costello does that...spoils it for me....Midge sounds great and so do the band!
agree, it's a top performance that goes to my core....
Midge Ure, amazingly underated. I asked my wife the other day if she knew of him, [she thinks she knows all music], she didn't of course. Got to be kidding. Amazing man, amazing music. why don't they know?
I'm trying not to make assumptions here......but are you American? ...as no Brit (over 30) hasn't heard of him.
This is the man behind both and Aid and Live Aid. Geldof got all the glory which was criminal. He may have been the one who 'bashed heads together' and made that famous expletive laden plea on live TV, but Midge Ure was the one who wrote 'Do they know it's Christmas'. The guy worked so hard to get Band Aid to happen, yet he doesn't seem to have the credit he deserves. Without him, I doubt either Band Aid or Live Aid would have happened. People need to remember this. He was the brains, to Geldof's braun.
@@robtyman4281Yes, we're from across the pond, I finally turned my wife onto the Midge Ure. She has finaly seen the light. I think she has been living under a rock. But I catch her checking him out now. she now into New Order and the likes, I love her even more now.
@@thebaron8169 Ha ha, I'm glad! Btw, hope you didn't think I was being rude, it's just that Ultravox were big in the UK, and I know they were never really able to 'crack' America so to speak. They (and Midge Ure) were among the pioneers of the 'New Romantic' sound. Midge obviously was also behind another band 'Visage' and their single 'Fade to Grey'. Check out that video if you've not seen it. Midge wrote that song, but wasn't the lead singer (Steve Strange was). I'm guessing though that you know all this!!
Ultravox were known for their great videos aswell, particularly 'The Thin Wall' and 'Passing Strangers'. I love how avant-garde and surreal the video for 'The Thin Wall' is, plus it's a cracking tune with a really punchy beat. If your wife hasn't seen Midge when he was younger, you can't go wrong by telling her to watch the videos for these two singles! Enjoy.
@@robtyman4281 Right on Rob, you seem like a really cool guy. We're near Detroit basically the Midwest, but we were always a couple year behind the cool things that were goin on back then , and now. Will check that stuff out, thanks. Im on facebook as James Greiner. I just met the Damned, got some cool pics. The Baron is my nickname.
if you said ultravox they might know.
Amazing man, amazing voice after all these years having that vocal range and still singing so very close to his younger prime, so many hits in the 80`s, part of my youth here in the UK, the music and videos of Ultravox take me right back there, where did the years go .
From the beginning to the end of this live show, I was happy to see Midge-san.'s charm. I also love Ultravox's Midge-san's songs. Once again, I'm surprised at how many songs I love. Anyway, Midge-san was lovely. 😍❤️👏
This should have a million views!
100 million
200 million
I went to see Ultravox at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 1982 - shortly after a car crash (where I rescued the tickets from the glove compartment before that car was towed.................) ................. - can't believe I'm going back to see Midge Ure in Aschaffenburg 40 years later
Groing up in the years of UK bands , I had songs that took me away , and Vienna was and still is that song.
Loathe to criticise, so call it a comment, but as much as any Ultravox concert led towards Vienna , the violin then became the most soothing 30 secs of the song for me.
Which was missing.. ...
The concert years before was the best version of Vienna I've ever heard.
Great classics, Midge still rocks! And what a fuckin' awesome drum performance on Hymn!!! Absolutely amazing!!!
Great giutar work Midge ! Love the rockier Edge !!!
Just awesome. I'm so happy to see this live. Ultravox, YMO and Kraftwerk are my heros forevermore.
At the same time, I had realized 'WDR4' on the banners.
Gee! How old l am!?
Midge, one of the greatest of the greats of the incredible music that came out of the early 80s. And several decades later, he's still got that incredible voice. We are so blessed.
Great concert.Midge prove that he is capable on his own. And a wonderful band. Almost Ultravox. Keep on Midge! :)
Have been to his concert last week in Dublin and I am still completely flashed! Especially love his 80s songs and it is amazing how great he still is performing nowadays! Simply Fantastic!
Goosebumps!! I did not expect he still having the range, and he "hold my beer", and sings Vienna and right after, Hymn, and then, The voice!! . Unbelievable!!
This is amizing perfomance made by Midge Ure! Superb artist and man!
A very nice concert. He is a singer with an exceptional voice.
Seriously the vocal, the bass chords the guitar work I mean this is what I call careful aging and cracking on. Thank you!
What a fabulous writer/performer. Just amazing man.
Ohhh he s still a very great one. Vienna and 'if I was' are my beloved ones, but dancing with tears is incredibly performed!!!!! he got it!!!! I love listening to it while working. This video is very special ❤❤❤ thanks a lot. Wished I could have visited the concert
oh my god, Vienna, the greatest perfomance ever, his voice is still stunning. I love him forever! And dancing with tears in my eyes...what a great sound of his voice
I love the fact that Midge is a great guitarist that play on Vintage Guitar brand. It shows that a talented guitarist don't need a expensive Gibson or Fender guitar to sound great. I'm proud of Vintage, and I understand why Midge love his Lemon drop,as I with my Gold Top
I came on YT to see if he used to play on this brand that I love and yes indeed !
Totally agree. So much pretentious crap around supposedly ‘premium’ guitar brands. Also love Fret King guitars - the other brand associated with Trevor Wilkinson.
Dancing with tears in my eyes was as good as it as at live aid, stunning
What a set of pipes on Midge, he truly does still have it. One of the great vocalists of our time.
His vocal range is still fantastic and he has looked after himself and his voice very well in later years. Great writer and producer. An essential artist.
We all stood still in your music Midge 🎶
Legend.....end of...The sound of my youth,,God bless the 80s
This guy is timeless and hugely talented. Superb live, true showman !
The cool music of the 80's, great
He still got it specially when they played Vienna. ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful voice and he is so handsome too.
Midge Ure with 65 years old = fantastic ! 👏❤👏
What a voice, what an artist. ❤️
Gave me a goosebumps listening to Vienna. Midge the older the bolder the hotter you are!! Awesome voice!
Saw Ultravox with John Foxx at a club in Toronto ( great show ) A few years later saw them at a venue in Toronto with Midge on vocals , was blown away with his voice and although very different style than Foxx he brought many great songs to the band. This show was amazing. He’s still got it.
Underrated. Underrated. And Underrated.
I admit it. I didn't give Midge the props he deserved back in the day.
Still a very good voice ! Thanks for sharing
Legend Midge Ure!!!
Gets better every time I watch.
Utterly inspirational. How awesome, better than the best bottle of aged wine.
Best living rock singer in the world. Point.
The Man, and the band, awesome!!
Wielkie Brawo .Wspaniala muzyka . Wspanialy koncert .
Love midge his a gem
I have loved Midge Ure and Ultravox from the start. Great voice, great melodies and songs.
What the.....? They absolutely killed Vienna! Astounding vocals and a fresh superb arrangement to cope with the 80's production. True musicianship.
Fantastic singer musician and front Man
Just amazing, last saw Midge Ure with Ultravox in London in the 80s, what a fantastic performance almost 40 years later, that guy can still sing and to have him perform a lot of the original Ultravox material was incredible.
I saw Ultravox in 1982 in Edinburgh and now I have concerts for his concert in Aschaffenburg in Germany in October 2022 - can't wait :)
I love Midge Ure.
Germany loves Midge Ure
Midge is still rockin' ! Great set list!
Great display of this man's talent and musicianship. It's hard to find a musical role model that fits all the categories.
Seen him loads his voice gets better
this man will never quit !
love how he is still going all in after all these years ..
Played and sang his ass off. Epic rock treatment to classics. Wow he’s better than ever 💥
A true classic...love Midge Ure. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.
Great to see you, Jim! Great show, and I'm glad you're doing well.
...just watched it again - can't thank you enough for uploading this wonderful concert. Each time i view it it puts a huge smile on my face. Definitely Midge at his best 👍🎶👍
Passano gli anni ma non mi fai mai smettere di sognare. Grazie Jim .Immenso !!! 🙏🏻🌏❤️
True Rock Soul. Great Midge ;)
Fantastic love this music brings back memories I play same guitar vintage lemon drop Wilkinson pickups 🤓
That voice, amazing !
Bloody hell, Midge still has it sooo many years later, he sounds brilliant ! Musicianship at its best!
Finally... the definete end of Hair Rock ! Never thought the guy would become better and better with the years, but well, he did.... He's singing as if it was his very last concert.... No encore ? Excellent concert, but I miss the best songs of Brilliant.... That would have made it brilliant indeed.
Шикарный концерт!!!! Мидж как всегда на высоте ❤
Magnificent Singer songwriter Midge Ure and he’s coming to Dublin in October fantastic
Great gig. Very underrated talent.
СУПЕР, Мидж Юр просто великолепен!!!!!!
Wow Midge your a fine guitarist and playing a green vintage too, this was a joy to watch , great playing and sound from your band. But that vintage you make it sound great.
Still got it, fantastic voice as always.
Amazing! I hope to experience this live some time. Goose bumps
Damn it, older and better! Thanks, Midge!
Going to see Midge in Glasgow later this year, I cannot wait
Wwwwoooooouuuuuuaaaaaaaauuuuuuu!!!! Amazing, beautiful!!!!
Just watched the Cologme 2018 show. Call Of The Wild is brilliant and what a fantastic opener Stevie Mac
Midge Ure ......... in the History of Singers/ Musicians .. one of the Best ...!!! He is Unique !!
This was a most peculiar version of "Breathe".... cant say I enjoyed it. But it was sure unique. Rest of the set is pure awesomeness! Hats off to you, Sir Ure!
Amazing energy on stage... I wish I had that when i'm at his age... AWESOME!
Energy? It's a great concert, but the dynamics are close to non-existent, with even the keyboard player reading the chords of his computer. I don't think he even looked once at the band. The beardy bassist was half-hearted in his playing and in his vocals, which made Midge sound rather naked, especially since the mix used virtually no reverb or delay. I know CZcams sound is not the best, but this recording sounded dull, and it's a shame, because midge played and sang very well.
A great classic of our time !!!
Thanks for posting. Have always appreciated Midge in all his forms. With some years on him he looks like the love child of Jonathan Banks and Peter Gabriel.
Thank you so very much for sharing this 😃
Goodness, this performance is so amazing 👌😃
Midge looks better now than he did in the 80s. Salute!
Good to hear (and see) Midge is still rockin! I love him! So great! Death in the afternoon is even better than with UV at Return to Eden
no one can replace billie currie on keyboards
..Just brilliant.So many memories of these epic songs...Even when i was a Rocker throughout the 80's!!!!..
This music saved me.
AMAZING and Totally BRILLIANT
i have never listened migge ure so rocking
Lets look around and find this kind of commitment today in music and lasting as long !!! yes quite!!
