#newwave #ultravox #vienna #reaction - Zábava
I am Viennese and in my opinion, there is no song out of all of those dedicated to the city that captures the city's atmosphere better than this one.
what a lovely thing to say. that's wonderful. :D
So cool! The song is amazing, sounds like Vienna is as well! ❤
My husband and me were in Vienna at Christmas, absolutely beautiful city, had one of the best Christmas ever… I remember rushing home from work to watch this amazing live aid concert… we all talked about it for weeks and everyone I knew all donated money… a once in a lifetime for everyone who performed and for all of us who were lucky enough to see it 🤩
Still an Ultravox fan 40 years later. This is one of the most iconic songs of the 1980s.
Amen brother, best male UK singer back in the early 80's, only surpassed by Freddie and David but very debatable. Shows you the wealth of talent we had back then.
@@cappyGLAYet we failed to take it to number 1.
Just got 40th anniversary on vinyl
Me too
@@clivenewman4810 Yeah was a dumb one hit wonder called shaddaperyour face or something I hated the song too was as cheesy as curly wirlies
Being in the UK in the 80's was an amazing time for the music industry so much was going on.
So much diversity back then. Today's music industry lacks real talent, creativity and diversity
@@sushigirl1069 Ironically...that's probably because of 'diversity' 🤣
I’m blown away by the musical ear/talent of UK people. So many great singers and musicians from the UK.
Midge Ure is a genius! He doesn’t get enough credit for live aid! Derek I absolutely adore you 🥰
He's the quiet man in the background , band did a lot of the real set up Bob was the gob on the job
Yessssss!
Thats what his fanbase loved him for he did his part in LiveAid behind the scenes, Midge was a very modest man. Even today he tours and still modest as ever.
One of the most underrated and tragically forgotten performances of LiveAide.
Ultravox were a fantastic band try “Dancing With Tears in my Eyes” “Hymn” “The Voice” all amazing songs
.. and Lament 🙌
‘Reap the wild wind’ and ‘Mr X’ were always my favorites..
The Voice is the one for me. Amazing
Hey, let's not forget Sleepwalk.
Their songs are out of this world!
Ultravox with singer John Foxx was one of the best bands of the late-70s Post-Punk era, and with singer Midge Ure they were one of the best of the New Wave
/New Romantic bands of the 80s.
New Romantic at it's best. When I heard this song for the first time in 1980, I was blown away. This song has forever shaped my taste in music.
me too!
This is one of the classic synth anthems of the 80’s so kudos to you for reacting to it👍
If you like this ...please try " FADE TO GREY " by Visage
he will if you pay for that ....
I was literally thinking of that track, you saved me the bother!
omg yes !
Yes. Mosdef.
Same people who wrote this wrote that and visage is a great track
I looooove Ultravox! Had a mad crush on Midge Ure back in the day LOL
Join the queue! 😀
Ultravox were one of the best most creative bands of the 80's
I‘ m so thankful that my youth was in the 80‘s. So many different music genres. Try OMD: Maid of Orleans - Epic
Lucky you!!!😉
@@DereckReacts Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans) IS DEFINITELY one to watch!
Maid of Orleans, forgot about that one, love it.
Visage, Orange Juice, an endless list
Souvenir
Well known for being denied the Number 1 spot in the UK by the novelty song 'Shaddap You Face' by Joe Dolce.
Was awarded honorary number 1 later to reverse that war crime atrocity against music that was J Dolce
no well known for their hard work not because of a stupid number in a music chart
This video became what most artists wanted out of their own videos to tell a story to take you on a trip. Midge was also a promoter for live aid also. His voice and his music is still amazing and being a fan for over thirty years, you can’t go wrong with post punk and new wave music. So happy you love his voice and video as well.
The post punk era and the New Romantic Music is my favorite genre of music. You have just opened up Pandora’s Box to one of the most interesting and genuine music genres ever created. The way several bands of this era blended multiple genres of music together (synth, punk, pop, funk, disco, rock) was truly what drove me to becoming a audiophile and a fan of UK bands of the late 70’s and early 80’s.
BEST. SONG. EVER. The chorus always gives me chills. :)
What a track. Ultravox were the first act I ever saw live and they sang Vienna. This was at the Glasgow Apollo in 1984. Another great track by them is Hymn.
I have been to 3 Ultravox concerts and 1 solo concert by Midge Ure. I've enjoyed many concerts by other bands, but I've never gone to see any other band for a second time.
Dude, I have no idea how old you are. But it's great to watch your reaction through the whole video. This song is absolutely incredible, even today. And remember, this was 1981. Music software like today was completely unknown back in the days. So, they had to increase and slow down the song's tempo and intensity ALL TOGETHER and manually. This is something that younger musician can't imagine at all.
I still love this dark timbre of the whole song and the cold and sparse instrumentation. As a kid, when I heard the song for the first time, I fell in love with it right from the start. And until today, there are not many songs that are from an equal quality.
Now, in times of streaming, such songs would never find their way into the ears of the listeners or consumers. Because this is a song that is produced in a way, so it can breathe and develop. This is impossible in times of Spotify and others. So, in the end this is a song for eternity.
Ha, I said goosebumps at the same time as you. After 40 years, still get them, this song is a 'Once heard, never forgotten' deal.
Anything by Ultravox is amazing. Midge Ure is one of the best songwriters around. He was also in Visage, try Fade to Grey 🥰
How could he have been in visage when he was in Ultravox around that time
@@paulanthony5274 he was part of Visage first. It was through working with Billy Currie on that project that he was asked to join Ultravox.
I have loved this for nearly 40 years so great to see young people discover it after all these years, great reaction.
To see him appreciate our music feels so good and makes me so happy!
A tune that always takes me back to the dark and lonely winter nights in my first student appartment in 1981/82. (The same with Zenyatta Mondatta by The Police, The Visitors by ABBA, and Night Passage by Weather Report, btw.)
I loved your reaction when the tempo increased. I was almost anticipating what your reaction would be like, knowing that it was coming, but when it came, it was fantastic. A great song!
I've had the absolute privilege of watching Ultravox live twice. The two best nights of my life. Great to see your reaction to four amazing musicians - IMHO the best group of the 80s.
Please do more Ultravox!
Wow!🔥
Trip back to my youth...truly an iconic time. Glad you enjoyed it ❤️🇬🇧
These reactions make me feel so old and yet it just seems like yesterday when this came out, I was 20 and a New Romantic (for about 2 years after I got out of Punk and then became a Goth...we are fickle when young..lol) Memories of seeing Duran Duran on their Planet Earth tour too...great times...
Dancing with tears in my eyes ....you've just got to react to that one - it's a classic
Seeing as you were interested in a live version, check out Midge's/ Ultravox's performance at Live Aid. Better than the record, his voice is just astonishing, and reports say that was without much, if any, of a warmup beforehand. Midge is a very underrated vocalist and he had a huge part to play in the creation of Live Aid. People put a lot of it on Bob Geldof, but Midge was incredibly involved too :)
I was wondering when you'd react to Ultravox - they were a terrific 80s band. 'Vienna' is their acknowledged masterpiece, but they had lots of great synth hits. Try 'Reap The Wild Wind', 'The Voice', and 'Lament'. 'Visions In Blue' is a great song too, and has a definite echo of 'Vienna's drama.
Reap the Wild Wind is like my all-time favorite song
Ditto and a superb video ❤
Vienna is my favourite song of theirs but as a concept album, The Voice is truly amazing.
Visage - Fade to grey ; Duran Duran - Planet Earth ; Spandau Ballet - to cut a long story short ; Adam & the Ants - Goodie Two Shoes. Please.
You legend! Everyone forgets To Cut A Long Story Short. Best song by Spandau Ballet imo.
Brilliant list...but you could add 100 more and not even scratch the surface.
Spandau - Only When You Leave. Adam & the Ants - Stand and Deliver, Duran Duran - The Reflex
Iirc, Russell Mulchay did the video. He also did most of Duran Duran’s. I was so blessed to have had my childhood in the 70s and my teens in the 80s. I think you’d love the New Romantic era. 🤗
He did highlander
@@forestfire1232 and Razorback!
Can anyone imagine something so haunting and atmospheric being released today? Some may try to emulate but none will capture the feeling of this. A masterpiece of the Eighventies.
(eighventies - the period between 1979 and 1981 where the sounds of the 70s still reigned, but something new was coming, One of the most amazing, creative times for popular music)
Story of a brief love affair in the city of Vienna, written by Midge Ure. Also a tribute to Vienna as a classical music city.
My band from the 80s. They have a huge amount of stuff. Sadly broke up too early but did reform briefly ten years ago. Seen them so many times never grow tired of them.
It's amazing how some of the bands of the 80's are now getting back together like Tears for Fears and some artists are getting back into music after an extended break.
i love seeing someone with pure joy listening to music
Lovely to see you reacting to such a Cassic song. R.I.P Chris Cross bass player of Ultravox, and co/writer of Vienna😢🎉
Puts goose bumps in all the right place. Visions In Blue is my absolute favourite. I have Midge a few times and he is a great guy and a brilliant musician. Listening him play both Vienna and Fade To Grey just on acoustic guitar are highlights in my gigging life. Great reaction
I love "Vienna" but when i was a teenager the song "Dancing with Tears in my eyes" has long been one of my favorites of the 80s. I saw you like to listen french and spanish songs so you must try the french rock band Mano Negra with "mala vida" ou "king kong five" or Manu Chao, the leader of Mano Negra, with "Me gustas tu" ;)
Mis primeros años en la facultad y vestida de nueva romántica!🤦😄
Midge Ure from Ultravox does an absolutely incredible cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World".
This has been one of my favorite songs throughout my whole life. From my early teens to now being 55.
Kraftwerk opened the gates of experimental electronic muisic for pop culture way back in the early 70's, with the Autobahn LP. Several sub genres of music emerged from there including industrial, ambient, new wave, techno, etc. Even rappers drinked from this source. Synthesised music was the natural way to follow, but I see it as an outcome, or just another tool available and not a genre itself. Electronic incursions from either "classical" authors (Stockhousen, Boulez...) and "rockers", were exclusively experimental before that. And they were not "commercial", at all! They were digging a new world to explore, namely Schulz, Rodelius, Amon Dull, Can, Kraftwerk, etc. Interinstingly, they are all germans, from the triangle Munich, Berlim and Dusseldorf, and were the progenitors of the so called krautrock. To better understand the ingenuity of these explorers, Kraftwerk, a duo from Dusseldorf, had to hire an electronic engineer because they got tired of broking (read explode) their stuff! At this time the mini moog made its appearance and, along the electro drums, the whole music industry changed for the best and worst.
Industrial music appeared in the pos- punk period (late 70s), with SPK and Klinic, and its apogee is in the 80s, like almost all other genre heirs of electronic pop music.
that's gold! music was so much better than now
That violin. Oh My God, that violin is incredible. And then she shoots him on the last Vienna. That just takes it over the edge
A masterpiece from start to end. As brilliant now as when it came out...
The record company never wanted to release this track as a single but gave in to the group's requests , the group had to fund the video themselves and in the end one of the most recognised hits of the 80s was unleashed to the masses
An epic classic. (btw...it's Ure like 'your', so you were right the first time)
If you like this you will love "Fade to Grey" by Visage (the project you mentioned)
and "Maid of Orleans" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. No doubt about it.
+1 Maid of Orleans
Agree with both!
It's good to see that I'm not the only one that makes hand movements to music. This was number 1 for ages in the UK.
You think it was cause its such an 80s classic. However it is actually one of the most famous #2 songs cause it was kept off #1 by that novelty atrocity Shaddap your face song which was huge taht year.
@@en6278 yes, I just checked, my mistake. I always thought it was No.1 because it was always being played.
I heard this live many years ago in Southampton, England - wonderful
Dereck I want to thank you for appreciating the music we grew up with in the early 1980's. Your reviews of the instrumentation & vocals is on point and made us fall in love with this type of music at the time. It really was a magical period having all of these incredible songs come out at the time even though sometimes we didn't recognize how great they were. Looking forward to more of your journey!
Well said.
This is one hell of a song! Lucky to have seen Ultravox and Midge Ure (solo) live. Incredible arraignments. Billy Currie's lead synth lines are amazing!!!
A fantastic song that only got to Number 2 in the UK charts back in 1981, it was kept off being Number 1 by Joe Dolce- Shaddap You Face
My favourite Ultravox song, which is similar to Vienna, is Visions In Blue..bet you would like that too.
This has been one of my favourite songs (and albums) for over 40 years.
I saw him live in 2015 and he's still hitting all those notes beautifully. 🥰
It's good you can hear his accent. It's funny how people's accents come out when they're loud, Bowie was the same
I was 16 yrs old when this song was released. It totally blew me away! Still does.
My number one song of the 80's. It's utterly captivating and hypnotic, watching the video is like you're experiencing the most epic film noir ever made. 🖤
Once I saw someone describing the sound of Ultravox as 'sunday noir'; I think that's an apt despription.
Please give their song 'Hymn' a chance. The idea of signing a pact with the devil in exchange for power (the lyrical theme of that song) appealed very much to me as a young teenager. ;)
Midge Ure along with Bob Geldof organised Live Aid 1985.
Fantastic band with many great songs. Brilliant live also
Ultravox...my fav synth band...ever
Not bad for a 40 year old tune eh? Plenty of hits to check out from ultravox, reap the wild wind, all stood still,dancing with tears in my eyes and sleepwalk. Oh and worth checking OMD plenty of massive synth hits there and their still gigging. If you want to find john foxx his hit was a song called Underpass.
You have to react to the live performance of Vienna from live aid....sends chills down my spine when he goes for the "this means nothing to me...." 😍😍
I saw them play this live in a tiny club about 2 weeks after this was released and they played it note perfect. Midge Ure, the singer also co write Do they know it's Christmas and is an amazing guitarist. Billy Currie played keyboards, viola and violin, so the solo is his
Seen Midge Ure live many times with his solo work and also Ultravox.... hes amazing.... love your channel too Dereck ❤
I just watched your reaction to Ultra Vox’s Vienna. I have this on vinyl. Midge Ure is amazing. Thank you for such a positive reaction and review. One of my favorites!
A great voice. Instantly recognisable and also really powerful. This song is just such a classic. As others have said they did plenty of others. The band used to have John Foxx as lead singer, and he has some interesting solo stuff. Their earlier sound was very different (a bit like with the band Japan). The Midge Ure era was their most successful. Classic song. Still get goosebumps
when you mentioned those interesting and experimental sounds in the beginning...this is one of the things that made 80s music great. Bands from so many genre were experimental back then...which I dearly missed
And the video art is really good. I love the moment in the instrumental brake when the piano goes down at the same time you see the female character downstairs quickly.
Looking at the history of this channel's reactions, I'm actually surprised Fade to Grey hasn't been reacted to yet.
Vienna meant everything to me ...the music at the peak of my life
Great link observation about Queen.......This release was only four years removed from Bohemian Rhapsody.
wow, LOVED this reaction... damn. lol so nice to see someone younger finding "my" music and actually getting it straight to the heart. excellent.
This song is pure decadence. Love everything about it and Ultravox.
He sounds better live than recorded. Amazing vocalist
The entire album is haunting and filled with soulful passages. It remains in my top five albums of all time....and this is coming from a metal fanatic. Nobody does atmospheric like Ultravox.
Oh my god. CZcams gave me your react to Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five (in my top 5 of all time favorite songs) and then just gave me this of you doing Vienna?! I think you're likely to become my favorite youtuber. I'm about to delve into everything you've ever reacted to in a minute. haha
Haha! Enjoy 😉
Fun facts.. this singer is Midge Ure, he also wrote "Fade to Grey" by Visage and once played guitar for Thin Lizzy .... but his most famous song is "Do they know it's Christmas time" for Band Aid
My favourite song of the 80s
80's masterpiece by one of the "new romantic" bands. Some of us were so lucky to live in this era of music.
The talent around in the 80’s was just amazing. To see this sung live check out the Live Aid video from 1985.
Great reaction. The banana comment was top notch.
Your reactions slay me, I literally LOL when you get blown away, cos I know what's coming. The 80's ahh what a good time we had, oh yes we did. Yes Visage, Fade to Grey for synthpop.
Voice music amazing amazing
The amazing thing about his voice is that it is effortless for him. He sounds the same now - and hits all those notes like they are nothing.
God I miss this kind of 80`s music..... another fab video Dereck xoxox saw him live a few years ago at scotlands Rewind festival and yeah lol he can still blow it out the park.
Basically my entire junior high school (83-86) sound track I had Ultravox songs on my cassette playlist. 😍🎧They were amazing live I remember seeing them on Live Aid!
R.I.P. Chris cross from ULTRAVOX 25th March 2024
They are amazing in live. I was lucky to watch them in London
Duran Duran The Chauffeur,OMD Enlo Gaye or Ultravox Sleepwalk.
Saw him Live a few years ago, AMAZING Vocals !!
I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU & YOUR REACTION/ANALYSIS BEFORE WE EVEN HIT THE SOARING CHORUS🙏🏻💜 Subscribed! Yes this track & vid are epic early 80’s “new-ro(mantic)” synth pop deeply reflective & critical about society alongside punk’s aggressive form of rebellion. New ro is luscious and art pop💜
…I see you have not yet reacted to “Waiting For The Night” by Depeche Mode. PLEASE react to this gorgeous haunting piece of excellence🙏🏻 I see you did one DM react, but omg…this track.
Back to new-ro (a sub genre of the late 70’s-mid80’s new wave) … I still enjoy the sleeper “The Chauffer” by Duran Duran … you will too🌈💗🌟✌🏻
Greatest song ever written.
This _magnificent_ piece of work, was famously kept from the UK chart’s Number One spot by that magnum opus: _Joe Dolce’s Shaddappa You Face._
A timeless classic well worth anyone's reaction time 🙂 listened to Ultravox at work today (no live lol) White China came on and immediately thought of you . I know you like 80's synths Dereck and trust me you will have bananas cherries satsumas and melons on the loose it's a stunning track . Love your channel fella, love from Northern Ireland.
I loved this..I feel like I'm making a trip back to the 80's ✨🎶🎶🎶💜
Superb synths used here... OBX, SS30 String synth, lots of Yamaha's like CS80, DX7(80's sound standard), CS-40M, CP70. They also used GS1, PPG 2.2 & Prophet T8.
There was no DX7 on this. The DX7 came out in 1983.
One of the most beautyful songs ever written. By this time all of them had a trajectory and were gifted musicians , midge ure at his best, and multi instrumental man Billie currie genious here. It’s a beautyful dialogue between classic and electronic instruments. Curious fact…..The guy with the spider on his face is film director Julien temple and the real star at the shooting of the video was the spider, the same that appeared on Sean Connery James Bond film. There’s a very nice version live with Schiller and midge ure live. Even seeing midge ure singing only with a guitar without the genious instrumentation are really good too.
You need to watch the Ultravox Live Aid performance, Midge Ure still performs Vienna live
