- Live at Montreux 1986 is a concert video release by the British synth pop band Talk Talk of a concert at 1986 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The show was part of a tour that started in April 1986 to promote the band's recent album The Colour of Spring, and was to be their only appearance at Montreux, from their last tour.
For this tour, the usual trio of Mark Hollis (vocals), Paul Webb (bass), and Lee Harris (drums) was augmented by John Turnbull on guitar, two percussion players, and two keyboard players. As often, de facto fourth band member Tim Friese-Greene did not play on stage with the band.
:: It's My Life ::
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends - Hudba
I’m 57 years old and this song hurts my heart remembering the huge house parties and dancing to this song. God I wish I could go back for just a minute!!
@@RockDeKasbahjust about everyone when this song came out
living in the past is pain.... enjoy it NOW x
We were young.
I’m 53 and was just diagnosed w cancer. Life is passing us by. This music is now the sound track to my life. You can’t help but move and smile just a lil bit.
Just keep going brother n be strong
Good luck to you..I hope your doing well.
I hope with all my heart you're beating it, mate. Much love.
You ok, mate?
👍❤
When a singer really means it. This performance is mind blowing! This is not acting. This is feeling. RIP Mr. Hollis.
Or when a performer can actually sing!
What a great, timeless song. Rest well Mr. Mark Hollis!
I love this! I am 80 years old.!
Nice one Tony.
I am 38 and adore this...very nostalgic and gives me a powerful inner feeling.
Last night, a very close friend of mine passed away at the age of 53. I listened to this all night.
Sorry to hear that. I’m glad this song gave you solace
❤I feel you❤
The bass line in this song is trippin. Mark was a national treasure, the band he worked with was epic.
God it makes me sad to think he's gone.
I'm the same age he was when he died 4 years ago.
I keep the cancer to myself, I'm just powering along...
This guy was the real deal, an amazing voice, an honest man with impeccable principles. A family man. A beautiful man. And yes, it's okay to call a man that.
What a great bunch of music he left behind. That's his gift to the world.
RIP, Mark Hollis.
The most under rated band of the 80s. Just pure brilliance. This song is mesmeric.
Not only of the 80's, my friend.
@@reepicheep66 Thats actually an interesting point. The 80s had almost too many great bands and some of them (like Talk Talk) got a bit overshadowed. I feel the true appreciation of their brilliance came later. For one their music has aged very well, especially this song.
The only band of this "genre" I loved as a girl. And do now. Just heard the song at a gas station on radio, passing by. And almost cried.....Thank you, Mark Hollis. xxx
Wasn’t owerrated. That was sucess. Still is sucess
The chameleons bro
Mark Hollis is a legend. So lucky to have that person in our history.
R.I.P
truedat!...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, mom and dad, for i was born in 1970!
Without you, none of this would have happened...
I consider myself one of the many lucky ones out there to have witnessed and lived the best music era. Some keep asking me why i am stuck with it and why can't i just bury it or try something else? Well, i tried, but didn't work too well. Little do they know, but... "It's my life!"
I salute you all, grown up kids of the 80's era!
I was born in 70 too, but my favorite album is from 2017. War On Drugs - a Deeper Understanding. Check out the song " in chains" very 80s
Wow..sounds current
One of the greatest live performances of the 1980s. Life-affirming brilliance.
Abstolute magic.
@@AggroSkater79 so true
Some bands have a live-sound others don't even achive in the studio. Beyond explaination!
Of all time I’d say. This song is so beyond Glorious
Yesss, vous avez raison : )))
I’ve listened to this song a million times but this is the first time I’ve seen this performance and it’s nothing short of sensational.
It's beyond PHENOMENAL
It's just brilliant isn't it. The dirty bass, the vocals, the percussion intermission at 4 plus minutes
100% agree.. always loved this song, first time hearing it live.. wow..!
The whole Montreux set is brilliant.
I'm 66yrs with breast cancer. This song makes me happy.
Rest in heavenly peace with all the musicians.
Mark Hollis, gone to soon but never forgotten 💔
Wishing you all the best Lori! Enjoy those happy, music memories & hope you are doing well.
Força guerreiro 🇧🇷
Get better off!! 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
80's is my life bro. Nothing compares.
💖
This live performance is INSANE
Greatest concert I was never at.
This performance is wonderful...... Beyond human boundaries
Old Music is Insane, new nusic is pathethic
@@UitdenOosterhout Sure👍
@Bill Carson because it is too much great to be human 😘❤️
This song was out when I was 11. It wasn’t anything special to me. If it was on, I’d listen to it.. fast forward to 2022.. I’ve always loved music. I work in an office alone at night and let CZcams play random music that I like and I’ll see where it takes me. It brought me here. Omg! I had no idea how awesome Marks voice was and the band as well! You can always tell just how talented a band is when you hear it live. This made me stop what I was doing and watch and listen! One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen! (I’m 50 now)
Yes thanks for your comment. We all agree. But it always seem to have moved us when we were young in one way or another. That's why I think it's still one of our favorite like so many other great songs we grew up. Thanks to 'you tube" for bringing these all back. we live in horrible times but things like you tube helps us to bear it in a good positive way. Good luck with yourself
I completely agree! I was 9 or 10 when this came out. Heard it in the background, and then In 2016, driving a truck, listened to it and was blown away. What a treasure we have had all these years.
A lot of songs hit differently now that we’re older.
Same age here. I've never heard of this song until much later in my 20s. It should be a much bigger hit than most pop songs of that year (Stevie Wonder's I just called to say I love you haha)
What a singer.
Probably one of the best live performances ever!!!..
Beautiful man to give us this gift. Such an amazing song, words don't do it justice. He poured himself into this live performance. There's nothing like it these days, nothing will beat the artistry of the 80s. RIP Mark. Thank you. ❤
This man is just... Living music. We can feel how he is out of his body. Pure talent and music. This live performance is outstanding.
Mitch Hedberg and Mark own that look
PERFECT....EXCELENT..
I've had cancer twice still not ot the woods but music is my lifeline. Love the 80s. My smile machine
That voice.
RIP Mark Hollis. A band ahead of their time
😭
Sad.
Great great voice of the time ... RIP prayers
every genius is
Rip so sad
That is one beautiful man and his voice is a little slice of heaven
Yes. He left us wonderful music.
Damn he sure f in is!..........🦊🥵👍❤️🔥🔥🔥
@@antonboludo8886 definitely bro! Best there ever was or will be! !!!!........👍🔥🔥❤️🇺🇸😻🥵🤩
Yes and yes ❤️ So beautiful it hurts.
Definitely a rare gem that comes along once in a lifetime! Damn he still gets to me!.........
Mark Hollis thank you ..... RIP 🌹🌹🌹 Talk Talk,love you....
bands like this don't exist anymore nowadays. I've always loved Mark's typical voice..in this song definitely also pay attention to the rhythm of the extended percussion on the conga's!❤️🎶🔝
You're so right. These guys and Roxy Music were all timers.
I think this might be the greatest live video ever recorded - the song, performance, energy, sound quality all amazing.
have a look at such a shame from the same concert
I like this version better than the studio one, and I've always loved this song!
After The Who's Live at Leeds, yes
The best … ❤️
I totally agree. Paul Webb is a great bass player and I also want to say that Lee Harris is an amazing drummer.
Sleep well Mark Hollis 🙏 happier times..your songs, your voice.. brought joy to so many of us. Nostalgia 😞 Gone too soon ❤️🙏
The drummer is a real animal with impressive stamina!
I totally agree. The almost perfect consistency of the drum beats and his clockwork movement reminds me of Phil Rudd from AC/DC who is an absolute machine on the drums too.
Por causa dele, gostaria de aprender a tocar bateria... Apesar q todos, cada um na sua área, dão um verdadeiro show... Apaixonada por eles 💕😍
Yes he is......when this song first came out, for a second, just for a second, I thought it was Roxy Music lol!
I’ve watched this over a thousand times now and it is simply the best song performance I’ve ever heard
I get chills every time especially the bit when the drums start
Listen to a Forest the cure live at Pinkpop but I agree 👍
I know what you mean, only discovered this version recently, & can't stop playing it.
@@kevinmcfadyen9651 yes the 1992 version of the Forest live by the Cure is on par
I watch this particular live performance, at least once a week, it keeps me more alive😊
Rest in Peace Mark😞. You were an great musician
You are missed Mark Hollis🙏❤️
I’m 54 the best time 1986 ❤🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪from venezuela 🇻🇪
I want to send out nothing but warmth and love to all those who wished me well. A long 2 years. I’m in remission and right now on the up swing. Everybody enjoy today!!!!❤️
How is everything going now?
@@m.mckenzie8860 I’m in remission. I don’t put off til tomorrow. I try to laugh , love everyday. Thank you. Be happy❤️
Sheer brilliance BEST SONG EVER - This was the era when there was REAL QUALITY music unlike todays total crap. RIP Mark. WHAT A VOICE you had dood - unequalled and missed.
This is beyond brilliant. One of the greatest songs ever made ❤️
How can you dislike this?!
It’s perfect. That 80’s keyboard tune, amazing bassline, synthesizer, lovely accent, drums, mysterious lyrics....
Ikr like whatever you were mentioning are reasons to love this song.
Mark, you're forever surrounded by the colours of spring. Sleep well lovely man.
This coment make me cry.....
Well said tys feel the same!
Utter genius.
The baseline is stupid good.......Hollis is exceptional.....loved this band since the 1980s
The way it pushes the song is just soooo damn good.
It's proper work to play this on bass guitar but when it's done right it sounds dirty and brilliant
One of the best lines I have heard. It drives this song
Perhaps the best live performance. That's music at it's highest delivering a message for the ages.
I have to watch this at least once a week.
Me 2’ it’s my life period!
This track still has the same effect on me now as it did when I first heard it as a teenager. Like the world shifts just a little .
Best living performance!
One of the best bands of the last 40 years. Completely original
What a performance.. Absolutely Brilliant!! 💜
I' also love it when the keyboards come back in at 3.20, then drums or bongos etc, the song is mesmerising
Alessandra from Rome, Italy❤2021
Thank You! Mark Hollis per la tua Splendida Musica 🎶👍
Never stop Talk Talking! It’s your life.Legendary!
A truly unique voice has been silenced forever which makes clips like this even more precious. RIP Mark Hollis
Amazing how this has stood the test of time.
Has there ever been a more intense vocal? I’m emotionally exhausted just watching. Otherworldly.
Best 🎵 🎶 song. Rest in Peace Mark. I hope that I can meet him in heaven..a few years from now.
This is the most amazing live performance of a song ever!!!
Hell ya best voice ever! No one will ever b this great! Especially tomorrow started damnnnnn blows me away! & the band as well! At 72 I will love him since the 80’s!......👍❤️🔥🇺🇸💯
Don't exgerate
@@lamargent5434this great musician got me off substance abuse ! So don’t b so damn judge mental! That’s a sic comment
@@lamargent5434 what the hell does that crap mean bud? Irk ugh👎🤬🤮
Nothing to compare with Prince for example
This is one of the best performances I´ve ever seen. The sound is amazing.
Because it's playback
@@jasonmason2471 If you think this is play back you know absolutely nothing about music.
@@jasonmason2471How you bloody mime a bongo solo ?
The Best Of pop 80's - Toujours présent dans nos cœurs Mark
If someone created a time machine, I'd love to be there on the front row. One of my fav singers. Gone far too young. The best era was the 80's for this fantastic music!! If you can see the 8.2m view Mark Hollis, be very proud!!
It’s rare that I mourn a public figure, but we were so sad to hear of the death of Mark Hollis on Monday (my husband was actually in tears last night 😥). Mark wrote and sang songs of raw power and fragile, tender beauty with such ineffable sweetness that, probably more than any other artist of his time, both defined and laid bare the soul of a British generation coming to maturity in the 1980s. A quietly modest, uncompromisingly original, musical genius. Thank you sir.
Beautiful words x
Ne
Best comment I’ve read in a long time on youtube. Bless you, bless Mark and bless the beauty of music at its purist
Same here, I didn't know about Mark Hollis until now, such talent. Truly hurts my heart.
Thanks for the comment. I was also unaware of his death till now. There certainly is public figures that create an emotional void when they are not around anymore.
R.I.P. Mark Holllis…...such a sad loss to music :(
It is my ife.. yet not the same without him to sing them words to make them special
Sad
brilliant band
i agreed with you
😔
RIP Mark Hollis. Thank you for your music. Sleep well lovely man. 😢🙏
What a performance!
It puts these contemporary singers to shame.
Just sheer brilliance!
Proper Proper tune that still gives me goosebumps,shivers and joy even after 40 years and always will. X
This has been, and always be my mantra. This song means so much to me and will definitely will be played at my funeral. It speaks to me and so many others and tells the world, "I will live my life my way and nobody will change that".....
Unglaublich wie gut die Version ist 🥰
When the live version is better than the album version... A true masterpiece
I’ve seen live music in many forms across the years. This is honestly the best live performance I’ve ever seen
this song is wonderful the 80 years talk talk is my love .
Hoje, 22 de março de 2024, e ainda ouço toda semana, esta música. Tenho 64 anos e passeio no CZcams em busca das músicas que sempre curtí, das décadas de 70/80/90, pois as atuais não me atraem. Lamentável a morte de Mark Hollis, tão jovem ainda. Acredito que neste clip, um dos tocadores de percussão é Brasileiro. Grande show
Até que fim
Um brasileiro
Pensei que estava sozinho escutando essa música top
Não, meu amigo, ouço toda semana e pelo menos duas vezes, e bem alto.
@@lobatoboemioboemio7375 Ouço sempre essa música, ela transmite uma energia incrível. Pena que o autor já se foi. Abcs
Mark Hollis sadly passed today. Real music died a long time ago. Just listen to this brilliance...
One of the finest in the 80's 😥
He will be missed!!!!!
Absolute sublime live version and love how he’s so immersed into his song
One word brilliant
Brilliant Sadly missed
Great song!
Hai reso questo mondo magnifico con la tua bellissima musica... R.I.P Mark ❤️
Just amazing. No words ….
So good live.
I come back every now and then to enjoy this masterpiece.
I can't count how many times I've watched this.
Me too!
@@johnsummers9660 me too every day!👍💯🇺🇸
Best version I have ever heard of this song!!
That was amazing 😵
This is amazing. I've seen ALOT of live performances in my life but this blows them all away. Well done Mark and Talk Talk... a true legend. May he rest in peace.
Every note is just so perfect in the bassline...each one just fits!!
Having cancer is like reality telling you to face yourself and how significantly short one’s mortality is. Thank you Mark for creating this anthem to living your life your own way.
Life at 53...life is the bestest of best..enjoy life to the fullest...dance if you want.
I love how the drummer is shirtless. He puts so much effort in playing.
Such a great band.
yeah right
A voice that can never be duplicate!! They optimised the 80’s.!!! The all time best singer in the entire world!! And awesome band!!
Hell ya! 👍💯
Male beauty at its finest! RIP Mark.
We really don't get music like thus anymore
Incredible song, incredible performance.
This band could be the one that killed New Wave genre and gave way to Indie Rock . This live performance is simply magic.
After all those years … so nostalgic and still touching … makes me feel melancholic , meaning unforgetable music .
The 80's most underestimated act. Amazing discography
+Éric Soucy Totally
🚋🚈David gray. It's Frida
I would say the most underestimated act in all music history.
I dunno about that. I mean this song is a big hit. Tons of excellent new wave bands in the 80s whose careers never took off.
A voice like a hot knife cutting through butter. My first memory of a song that inspired me at 5 years old to pursue my God given talent. Thank you Mr. Mark Hollis ❤️💔
Beautiful 🥰
Einer der besten Musiker den es je gab. Einfach top👍
Rip Mark, this show is legendary
This is what you call pure (TALENT)
GREAT music
DragonsReign Amen to that
+Tom
Wow...your not kidding...BRILLIANT!! Live performance too...
música perfeita
Good name Tom - Tom
You're so right.
RIP Mark Hollis. I LOVE this song.
Still mourning but still captivated by his/their work...
The greatest song of the 1980s. Criminally underrated band.
I just love this voice!
R.I.P. Mark. You've been OUR LIFE.
And THAT never ends.
He died, but his legacy lasts. Thanks Mark Hollis
Great song and performance, rest in peace Mark Hollis
R.I.P Mark. You have made the world magnificent with your music.
Mariën van Raan and your lyrics too thanks and RIP mark
Yes...music beautiful
Rare for a live version to sound better than what the studio put out.
I was thinking the very same thing and then read your comment. Spot on.
still love the studio version better
Exactly dude !!!...👍
Spot on. I thought it was impressive that they nailed it better live than the studio did after no telling how many iterations and engineering.
It is?
The best version of this song. Have loved this song and Mark Hollis since the 80's. Wish I could go back to that time.
