- Modern English - I Melt With You - San Francisco, Live, Sun. 7-15-12, Front row, Café Du Nord. At ~4:00, Robbie Grey holds the mic right over my head, then later right in front of my mouth, prompting me to sing a few lines, lol. I guess that's what happens when you stand front row center :P
Other Tidbits:
All the original band members are back! They're doing a short 8-stop tour while finishing up their new album.
Robbie Grey's comment "..and Burger King to this" was in reference to 'I Melt With You' being used in a BK ad back in the 90's. That decision actually resulted in a resurgence of popularity of the song which originally came out in 1982. I actually remember that commercial.. :P
Midway through the show, a pair of fans kept on shouting out for the Café Du Nord's sound board operator to raise the bass' vocals. They even shouted their request after a song which bassist Michael Conroy didn't have a singing part.. The two were standing to the right of the stage, so perhaps their difficultly in hearing the vocals had more to do with the orientation of the venue's speakers. One time, after hearing the fans shout "bass vocals" several times, Robbie Grey pointed to the the sound board operator and jokingly said "I think you better go back and tell him!" :P
Guitarist Gary McDowell positioned a flipbook on a music stand which had all the chords written on it. For example, "GATHERING DUST. Intro. Soft. D. Chord with Vollum Pedal."

They sound good, song never gets old..I can hear it all day and not get tired of it..
Truly a one off..
Wow... these guys will rock the earth and cause a tsunami... the VIBING is REAL!
My ringtone
These guys are the real Mcoy. The sparseness of the notes on the solos are the giveaway. If these aren't the original guys I'll be a son of a gun.
The kind which never hates bravo bravo
Bad ass song. 💝💝 it. Great song to hear at this time.
One of my favorite songs of all time!😍❤👍
Getting bettah all the time!
Modern English is still so Fxxxing amazing!
great song one of my all time faves - the 80's absolutely rocked -
Dave A Amen, Brother Dave. This song is a perfect representation of the 1980's. A great era in American history.
Yeah it's one of my faves too.
My number #1 favorite New Wave band ever ✌🇺🇸
Awesome.... remember this song when I'm was a kid back in the 80's....
learning this song (drums) for a new band. I love this song
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!
Love! Love! This song ever since I first heard it!! And I saw them in las vagas on my 45th birthday at some nite club for real cheap
one of the best songs written in my time. im glad the people in charge of recording it did such a good job
God bless you Modern English for impacting the world
They still sound great after 30+ years!
When compared to the official video with the original studio recording, your camera seems to produce a rich, wide-range and higher quality sound, in my opinion, and is the best live version on CZcams.
Yes--recording is top shelf audio. Wish they festival tour of 2023 had this quality
they sound amazing still !
I love this band! his music is wonderful!.😎🎸♥️
Best intro of any 80's song!
Hi Guiltypony,
The right words are "I'll stop the world and melt with you." It's so true, this song is timeless.
It is a perfect song
love love love! :D
No dislikes on this vid, Modern English is too good then.
Using all my breath bravo boys
the futures open wide
lol, glad I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance.. :P
Sounds great after so may years! And the guy is really alot of fun!!!
+Joanne Gagnon and they are touring this year!
NICE. CARRY ON!
great live performance!!
Falling in love now.....
His statement about this song paying the bills reminds me of Don McLean's quote about the meaning of American Pie, "I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again."
My favorite favorite 80's song ever!!
Gaaaaah, kick ass..
Guys still sound great!
Great!
I'll stop the world and melt with 'je'😉
The singer does sound a lot different than he sounded in the 80's, but he still sounds good. The instrumentals were actually quite impressive compared to the original studio version. Overall, this was an excellent performance.
I guess you can throw in Stacy for good measure. 😁❤👍
Theres a barrier
That must have been cool for you. Does anyone know why Robbie changed the words from "I stop the world and melt for you" to " I'll stop the world it melts with you"? My dad was in high school when this came out and he turned me on to this sing. It is one of favorites, it transcends generations :)))
The lyric is I'll stop the world and melt with you, not for you.
Always was "I'll stop the world, and melt with you"
So fucking nice! ))
He looks like Anthony Bourdain
