    Thank you Britain and Europe for seeing the brilliance in this band and their music because without that success they would have surely dissolved. They are American but too "fruity" for Americans but that doesn't mean they are NOT wonderful. They deserved the recognition and Thank God they got it.

      @✨fear fun✨ Thank you. There were a couple UK artists that couldn't get arrested in England that we adopted and made millionaires. I came from the 80s so there's Def Leppard, The Outfield (almost legendary) Billy Idol and couple others. In the 90s there was Bush who were so cool. UK and US tend to culturally pollinate each other. I think the issue with Scissor was not them but their audience. I'll be blunt and inappropriate and say that they attracted a creepy audience over here. Everywhere else in the world they attracted mainstream audiences which is where they belonged. I'll get hate for that so be it. Tired of being muzzled.

    This is fun. Scissor Sisters, one of the best pop-rock band of the last ten years, are barely handling the chaos they themselves have created on stage. And that somehow ends up bringing out wonderful, free-spirited energy from the whole crew. When the energy on stage is this good, they really can do no wrong. A truly fantastic production. The simple lighting effect, done with taste and confidence, is also a plus. Love those wild, show-stealing watermelons with beady eyes:)

    What an incredible moment at 2:10. The message in the lyrics combined with the background singers who all look different but sing the same posirivs message together in support of the young boy... jeeze it's so freakin' powerul!
    "It's a struggle, livin' like a good boy oughta
    In the summer, watchin' all the girls pass by.
    When your mama, heard the way that you'd been talking
    I tried to tell you, that all she'd wanna do is cry."

I wonder how many people saw that performance, thought the same as I did, and then...foolishly didn't go out and buy their record to support them! Thank God England has embraced them. I still have hope that they'll get their recognition here in America. They deserve it.

    We all need some singing watermelons in our lives at the minute and a bit of pre-Covid glitz and glamour!. First time seeing this...usually I don't watch anything post 2000 of the Brits as music wasn't as good as it was when "I were a kid"...but this performance is top notch!. Up there with the best of the 80's/90's legends.

    This brought to mind Lulu's "Take Your Mama For a Ride" (1974), especially when Jake/Jason sings about New Orleans, as Lulu was big in the Crescent City with that song. Do love the Scissor Sisters still - CHEERS - DAVEDJ

    That quick shot of Brian May at the start. I like to think he was imagining Freddie in the middle of it all.

    Scissor Sisters are phenomenal. Their music is great, their performances are fun, and Del Marquis is hot. They're one of my favorite groups along with Three Dog Night, CC&R, BeeGees. Really miss them.
