    ________________________________________
    Don't take your love away from me
    Don't you leave my heart in misery
    If you go then I'll be blue
    'Cause breaking up his hard to do
    Remember when you held me tight
    And you kissed me all through the night
    Think of all that we've been through
    Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
    They say that breaking up is hard to do
    Now I know, I know that it's true
    Don't say that this is the end
    Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
    I beg of you, don't say goodbye
    Can't we give our love another try
    Come on baby, let's start a new
    'Cause breaking up is hard to do

    How can someone not lose one note, one pitch after a half-a-centry? All the timing and it is still played so easily

      If you listen to Oh Carol from this same show he makes a mistake at the beginning but corrects himself perfectly.

      Years of practice. My piano teacher told me it’s muscle memory. For example when you drive your car and change the gear(manual) your hand will go straight to the gear knob without looking. The same applies to the piano. We are taught not to look at the keys when playing. Well my teacher taught that way. Elton John is a great example - his hands move up and down the keyboard and he doesn’t look down. Occasionally he will as does Neil. The order of the keys in particular the black keys allow you to find your place by the physical feel of the keys. There are times players will intentionally look at the keyboard when performing-gives them a break from looking into the darkness and smiling etc to people they can’t see.

    Man he is so cheery it is infectious. You just can't help but smile and bop your head with the music, and he still sounds just as good, even after all these years! Fun!

      Alex, oh my gosh, you wrote this comment - 13 years - ago! Neil is amazing. I fell in love with him at age 15 (yikes) - I’m 55 now. I heard his slower rendition of this song and I was hooked! You know how teenaged girls like to cry, and yes, who knows why. It was good to see you have the same thoughts I have about Neil’s infectious joy as he plays. It’s certainly easy to see. Isn’t it marvelous? ❤️

    I saw Neil Sedaka on stage in the late 70s. Originally, we went to the concert to see his BACK UP Andy Gibb and were going to leave right after. Who wanted to see that old fashioned, unhip old guy? He was of my older sisters generation, not mine. While leaving the venu he started his first song. We stopped, listened and were blown away! He was a phenomenal showman who had the huge audience in the palm of his hand. One of the BEST concerts ever that I have never forgotten.

    I'm a 29 year old man, but my mother plays all this 60s stuff at home and it just grew on me. This is a great song. People need to be a bit less pretentious about music, if something is catchy and you like it then more power to you.

    On this day in 1962 {October 16th} Neil Sedaka performed "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand...
    Four months earlier on June 30th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on August 11th it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100...
    Back-up singers on this version were the Cookies...
    Thirteen years later in 1975 he recorded a slower version of the song; and on December 13th it entered the Top 100 and peaked at #8,,,
    R.I.P. Mr. Clark...

    @majhiggins Před 11 lety +2

    OMG I always thought the up-tempo teeny-boper version of the song was the one Sedaka was forced to put out by the record companies. This shows that he loves this version just as much as the slower soulful one of the 1970s. I hope he performs them both in concert.You really have to hear them both because they're not the same song.

    Great solo concert - but I'd like to see Neil perform the European cities like Brussels, Amsterdam & Paris... He never did a full concert on the European continent, and that's a pity...
    The DVD of this concert is just awesome!
