I remember this song when it first came out...couldn't get enough of it...it was my first 12" extended mix record. This was the first big "techno" hit and it still sounds fresh 26 years later. And yes, Phil Oakey looks great.
this is cool because there is no sing along and you hear the band. And yes, they are alive and well and the three singers are still together since 1980........the dude is the only original member since 1977
so do the 2Human League girls ie Queens Susan Sulley and Joanne Catherall. 2me the Human League r ACE Ace Ace. I have even got the chance to get to talk to the Human League and even got to give Queen Joanne Catherall a kiss and loads of hand written love letters (by me) and all starting to Queen on them ather chess. little do the Human League girls know it. but apart from being human ofcorse both me and the 2Human League girls have got something in common ie our talent is self taught. 4the Human League girls are self taught singers. and I am a self taught sound affect impressionist. 4 l can copy the sounds of drum kits and trains and even a level crossing. I simply adore the Human League Joanne Catherall Epy. I wish that the Human League were from Portsmouth. then I can see more of them. but still never mind. the Human League r worth the train fares to get to see them alone. I simply adore the Human League
it was Martin Rushent RIP (producer dare) that gave human league their' punchy ' sound , martin had all the brand new bits of technology in his 'genetic studio'... like the first linn drum(sample based drum machine), he also used a Roland MC-8 sequencer and jupiter 8 , martin was a perfectionist and a visionary , with phil oakey 's direction and song writing the band made one of the best albums of all time ' DARE ' 1981
No Jupiter 8 was used on Dare. It was a Jupiter 4 mainly, along with a Roland System 700 modular synth and a collection of other synths (Korg Delta, Casio M10 and Casio VL-1), a Roland MCP micro composer and the infamous Linn LM1 drum machine (except on Sound of the Crowd). All the equipment they used is listed on the liner of the actual album! The League didn't use a Jupiter 8 until after Dare, most notably on "Fascination", "Mirror Man" and the full length "Hysteria' album.
Great. My first concert was human league in Belfast, don't you want me was number 1 in the charts, I wore winkle pickers and the ends got flattened! Dare remains one of my favourite albums of all time!
On this date in 1982 {Mar. 6th} "Don't You Want Me" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; on July 3rd it would peaked at #1 {for 3 weeks}and spent 28 weeks in the Top 100... Ranked 6th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1982 chart... The group's only record to make Billboard's U.S. chart... Reached #1 in the U.K., Belgium, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, & Norway... Was featured in three movies; "Ocean's Thirteen", "He's Just not That Into You", and "1981"...
Saw these in the 90s....they appear to have matured together with their music which was always outstanding.Much better music than todays dross,well played you lot!
These songs from the past echo forward to reach many. The music now, is just like our culture now; focused on the self and the now. Its music that cannot last, or at least I hope it doesnt. I enjoy songs that speak from the soul, and have nothing to do with superficialities. Music from the 80s and 70s, for example, is ageless.
Just came home from a concert with HL. It was just awesome. This clip from last year, can´t be compared with tonights performance. See them if you get the chance. All three members were tuned to the maximum. AWESOME experience...
Fantastic performance! This is such a great version of the song, too. It combines the famous bassline of the original "Don't You Want Me" by Human League with the awesome little synth melody on the Mandy Smith remix, which Stock Aitken Waterman produced.
I went out and proudly paid for The Human League's CD without question..And I have NOT bought a CD in years. Nuthin else has the same ingredients as this. Its FUN and has it ALL that makes a catchy and brilliant tune. I wish I had written this one for sure. No one compares to bands like this. The Idols cant jam worth tha damn, those disney singers are boring, Staind is depressing and hiphop/rap is just Silly now and u cant tell em apart anymore. But rest assure, U know the League when U hear.
God Phil looks good at 58 and the girls early 50s look at the smiles on the faces of the audience
It's 2022 and Phil STILL hasn't lost his voice! Sounds just as good as he does here. ❤️❤️❤️
One of the greatest little pop songs ever penned. Simple, groovy, a storyline and captures an exciting time in music. Perfect.
Human League 🇬🇧,, Originated , Sheffield, England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Damn, he looks and sounds great! Time is definitely on his side.
I miss 80's.
As a rock fan, I can still safely say the music from the 80's was excellent.
Phil's voice is fantastic!
I never get tired of this song☺️
Moi non plus.
Every time that I listen this song, It like more. Greetings from Perú.
80's music is the best! They've still got it after almost 30 years.
I'm agreeeeeee💚❤️🇮🇹
This song is 28 years old and people still love it...he can still sing!!! That's what I call a career.
That chorus hook is gigantic...everyone can sing it on the dance floor.
the orig is still up to date 30 yrs later...its a timeless masterpiece
My favorite song of all times!! They still rock after all these years ;)
80’s BEST ERA EVER 🎤 🎙 🎤 triple 🎤 drop
One of the best synthpop bands of all time. Definitely on my Top 5 list.
They still look and sound great, particularly Oakey.
I never get sick of watching this clip...and it's from 25 years after the song came out! Still brilliant!
I never watched Jimmy Kimmel but just having Human League on this show puts him on the cool list. I need to check out his show more often.
Much respect to the keytar player providing the iconic notes.
OMG ,the time really passed by them,but i think he still keeps his voice.I still love them
Yes this music is from "the 80's"! It was my best time in music and clubs for me. Joanne has aged very well and still looks good.
I remember this song when it first came out...couldn't get enough of it...it was my first 12" extended mix record. This was the first big "techno" hit and it still sounds fresh 26 years later. And yes, Phil Oakey looks great.
Damn your comment was 14 years ago, crazy how time fly's I was a big league fan too, seen them 4 times over the years. Cheers
More than 20 years after, they are still cool. Great music, Human League!
His voice as good as ever
They are still wonderful.
This synth beat is still dope!!!
Faaaantastic, after all these years the girls still cant co ordinate their dancing... flippin brilliant1
this is cool because there is no sing along and you hear the band. And yes, they are alive and well and the three singers are still together since 1980........the dude is the only original member since 1977
Wow he still sounds great!
Philip Oakey sounds just as great now as he did way back then. What a great band and a great singer.
Love the looks on the faces ,great memories
Dammmm over 20 yrs later and they STILL sound the SAME!! GREAT!
Phil always a cool dude...

The Anthem of Montego Bay, Belmar, N.J.
Just another in an endless line of great songs from the 80's...
I hear this and am instantly swept back to my teens....Enjoy your youth, it goes by quickly.

The '82 , live on stage . " Don't you want me" 🎶🎵 👍 Great...a different time & era 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Phil's voice is still fantastic, can't say that for Suzanne or Joanne. Still, I'd pay to see them and Heaven 17!
Love this band even back when they first came out in the 80's still sound great!
I am so excited that they are touring right now. They look great, they sound great, Love the Human League then, now and many years to come!

They are timeless, I love this song and I so loved him when it came out, they all look fantastic xxx

Wooow!!!

that blond kept herself in pretty good shape
Yea, but we are ALL getting older and UNFORTUNATELY you can see that instantly on CZcams.
but she sing so bad!!
Philip is always so, so good looking❤ and how about his voice? ❤️❤️❤️
Just came home from a concert with HL. It was just awesome. This clip from last year, can´t be compared with tonights performance. See them if you get the chance. All three members were tuned to the maximum. AWESOME experience...

Wow. They sounded great. Thanks for posting this one.
Quality voice
1 of my favorites from 1980s
great song and great performance. 5*
Awesome song.
This group was very underrated but my favorite in 1980s
Wow!!! The lead singer and the blond look better than they did 25 years ago.
Fantastic performance! This is such a great version of the song, too. It combines the famous bassline of the original "Don't You Want Me" by Human League with the awesome little synth melody on the Mandy Smith remix, which Stock Aitken Waterman produced.
How nice to see a live performance all the way through. Nice stuff.
Phillip has aged gracefully. He looks amazing! Even better than 30 years ago. cant say the same for Jo
"The Man Show" was on Comedy Central. Reruns are airing on the cable network G4.
Philip Oakey looks really bad ass now, who would have thought he would look like this from where he came from in the 80's
Very good performance....
