I spotted something that I have never seen before in all the concerts that I have been too and there were many. When the late Robert introduces the guitarest he steps aside and when he acknowledges the drummer he does the same. This is to make sure that the focus is on them. Now that was a class act.
last of the "mans man" entertainer. back to the old days when you dressed to be on stage, had a persona, personality that you kept and worked for. he wasnt built by studio executives
What about Rick Astley despite the damn memes turning the guy into an internet joke but the guy can fucking sing and still performs (in a suit usually.) Also don't forget about Sir Elton John who side aged but his voice aged very well and is still writing new songs even.
What I like about this, is the raw apparent talent displayed here. It is the real deal. No studio corrections here. This is HIS real voice, no lip syncing here. This IS as good as it gets. Today's performers seem to cheat, and even some of the older ones do, with managers using gimmicks off stage using devices to electronically fix the pitches of their voices. NOT here, this is the real singing voice live, and on display, and it is refreshing to hear. RIP. WE longer have this kind of talent anymore. To much studio work, and then audiences are disappointed by the real performances. Thanks for posting this performance, it is a gem. Love it. Michelle Reed
Agreed, Real talent, what you hear is what you get. I don't use autotune on any recordings, so when I sing live, the audience is getting the same quality. No disappointments! I think it makes you work harder to get your vocals better.
Beautifully stated michelle reed! This is authentic alright. I remember Robert back in Emerson Lake & Palmer days - fantastic music. RIP RP we miss you!
Too many drummers hunch over the kit. You can blame as much as i hate saying this as they are all legends but Buddy Rich, Eric Delaney, Louie Bellson and even Gene Kupra for that. Upright playing style is the best way to play the drums.
@@kenthemanmcmillan8965 really depends on how big the kit is too. Max’s son Jay plays a pretty decent sized kit in Slipknot, so I believe he’s bent over a lot.
I have watched a lot of this 1997 concert. Robert does not miss a beat. His timing is impeccable. And he sounds so similar to the in-studio recordings.
Robert felt his music like nobody else, and made us feel it too. he looks gorgeous, sweatin' up his suit and having a great time. oh yeah, I love the guy! 💝
Rocking in style. Iconic song, iconic voice and an iconic video. What a shame he is no longer with us. Simply a brilliant artist and another brilliant British artist.
not quite.....tempo was a little fast....then Mr Max settled in nicely......lovin his playing.....the bass player saves the day....beautiful job there ......this performance is fantastic to be sure .....i wished they would have toured this.....nothing these days grooves like this......... :) .......drummers these days remember the big beat and wat that means......Tony Thompson on the record from Chic and ever a personal hero to me..... ;)
Can’t get enough of this song-first time seeing it live, and it sounds just like the video. The exception is the pleasure of seeing RP perform. We lost an incredible talent. 💔
saw his show live that year, simply the best show i've ever seen, the girls from the video performed in the show, this song's video is the greatest of all time. rip robert.
I was 14 y.o when this song was released on the charts & this man’s music made me realize how lucky I was to grow up in the 80s. I was struggling through some depression after my parents separation✌🏼🌈
I was probably around the same age... Fun fact, my buddy told me that the music video for this single was the third one produced for MTV... As teens of the 80's, music videos were brand new to us and made our music that much more influential huh?
Robert Palmer was an amazing performer and a personal hero. Max on drums, tight band - totally cool. This video makes me want to grab my goldtop Les Paul and rock on.... rock on
Dude, it is Robert and the microphone. No bs. What an amazing talent! And for the few who could be unaware, that is Slipknot's drummer's dad playing the drums there!
Well...that's a convoluted and meaningless way to say Max Weinberg...who plays in the E Street Band with Bruce Springsteen and was the band leader and drummer for Conan O'Brien's television show...
This raunchy, horn-laden cover is the first track on his "Greatest Hits" album... which I was listening to as I was circling-around between the pick-up & drop-off areas at O'Hare [to pick-up my parents] on the day he died. I remember listening to "Johnny's always running-around..." while in the midst of those loops, when I got a strange vibe.... Guess I was feeling his spirit, being a fellow crooner & all! We miss you, Robert... There will never be another like you.
One of the best songs I have ever heard ! I cannot stay still as the beat and sounds travel thorough to my soul ! No one can out dance my moves & most are very shocked at my age !
The first time i heard this song i was at a Christmas party for my work i wad 19 at the time and the lady that worked the front desk was drunk and drug me out to dance 😂 it was awesome
when a band and artist are just in utter understanding as to how brilliant individually they are whihc creates the eventual masterpiece. Utterly sensational . The band is just So.... tight its just not possible to improve. Gen Z's take note this is music and talent .
Honestly, this concert is just better than the studio versions: it’s raw, everything is bigger and more brassy, Max’s drumming delivers the big kick sound Palmer’s music thrives on. You could be the perfectionist Palmer was, and still never get this band and this performance live during your whole career - and Palmer and Weinstein both know it.
👌👌👌🎵🎵🎵💯💯💯🎤♥️♥️♥️ Was für ein toller Sänger , geht in die Geschichte ein. Das Bester, was ich in dieser Richtung gehört habe. Gänsehaut überall. DANKESCHÖN 🤗💃💃💃💃
Brilliant performance, but he looks to me like he is struggling for breath at times, so maybe he was already suffering with his heart when this was recorded
Eddie Martinez who played guitar on the studio version is playing lead here. This might be the only live video I have seen where he is playing with Robert live.
Great to see him still rocking this one. He just got better and better. The 80's video with those robotic women and his high rise pants actually put me off this fun song for a long time...my faith has been restored by this clip. Thanks for posting.
The James Bond of rock… the special one Robert Palmer, rest in peace Sir, thanks for everything
Couldn't have said it better...RIP
Known as the best dressed man in rock'n'roll !!!!! Great catalogue of work.
I’ve seen a few interviews and he describes himself as an introvert. Live performances would have been a big thing for him, yet he did a great job.
He was my sexy baby for 7 years. We loved each other❤
I dressed him😂
He was so shy
Robert Palmer was to the eighties what Bobby Darin was to the sixties. Well dressed and charisma with a silky voice.
I spotted something that I have never seen before in all the concerts that I have been too and there were many. When the late Robert introduces the guitarest he steps aside and when he acknowledges the drummer he does the same. This is to make sure that the focus is on them. Now that was a class act.
Wish he was still around preforming .
Robert Palmer was a class act. Business suits all the way. No ripped up junkie rags on him!!!
My exact thought....The James Bond of rock
@@peterfranks6243 Cool Conceptul Thinking!
Only a powerful voice could deal with that powerful music behind it!!!!!!!!!
Palmer was a masterful professional. I love seeing how much Weinberg is enjoying playing with him, straight glee
Max ALWAYS looked bored with the “E” Street Band.
Max Weinberg on Drums, very cool!!
The way Palmer stayed in the pocket was class. It's not very often you see the drummer and lead singer interact to such an extent. Pro.
What a classy,talented sexy man along with an awesome band.
The mighty Max Weinberg is on drums. He is still bringing the power in the E Street Band. RIP Robert, a class act
Performing with that kind of energy night after night takes a lot out of anyone. It's no wonder they sadly die so young.
last of the "mans man" entertainer. back to the old days when you dressed to be on stage, had a persona, personality that you kept and worked for.
he wasnt built by studio executives
+A.L. Stoots I agree.
+A.L. Stoots Not me, but someone said he is the James Bond of music------I agree
Plus you actually had to be able to sing.
+Trace Haler exactly
didnt need studio magic to make him sound good
What about Rick Astley despite the damn memes turning the guy into an internet joke but the guy can fucking sing and still performs (in a suit usually.) Also don't forget about Sir Elton John who side aged but his voice aged very well and is still writing new songs even.
What a song!
What a groove!
What a voice!
What a hair cut!
What an absolute legend this guy was . Better than some of the music that is out now .. 80s for me .. This guy rocks .. RIP .. RP .. ❤️
Better than ALL the current BS which passes off as "music" these days!
@garyholland305 lol! When I read this I thought I had written it! We think the same❤
Robert def left us way too early.
Power Station was awesome too!
@@dougieb2159 🤣
The guy absolutely owned it. #Talent

Beautifully put,you sound like a singer/musician yourself.
Beautifully stated michelle reed! This is authentic alright. I remember Robert back in Emerson Lake & Palmer days - fantastic music. RIP RP we miss you!
I agree. All
Well said Michelle.
He had style, could sing, and he looked like he had balls that had to hauled in a dump drunk. RIP Robert Palmer.
Max Weinberg should get some sort of recognition. He has the best posture of anyone who's ever played rock and roll drums.
Too many drummers hunch over the kit. You can blame as much as i hate saying this as they are all legends but Buddy Rich, Eric Delaney, Louie Bellson and even Gene Kupra for that. Upright playing style is the best way to play the drums.
Check out some Rascals videos
Dino Danelli. drummer #1
Funny I was thinking the same thing as I was scrolling past your comment.
@@kenthemanmcmillan8965 really depends on how big the kit is too. Max’s son Jay plays a pretty decent sized kit in Slipknot, so I believe he’s bent over a lot.
Closest other drummer to Charlie Watts
Great beat and drive. Classy look. 👍
This whole concert should be on dvd.
still waiting ... impatiently !!!
@@brucewayne3602 don't stand on ceremony, Mr. Wayne
1000 per cent agree👌💎☘️
I have watched a lot of this 1997 concert. Robert does not miss a beat. His timing is impeccable. And he sounds so similar to the in-studio recordings.
who cares sir
I care!
I agree, too! He was in totality a musical instrument!
AGREED!
It's OK, Frank.It's alright. @@rossfrank2630
Robert we still think about you!!!!!! RIP....
The most awesome, kick butt performers I saw live-loved his suit, too! RIP
Robert felt his music like nobody else, and made us feel it too. he looks gorgeous, sweatin' up his suit and having a great time. oh yeah, I love the guy! 💝
That band is so tight. They nailed it!
One of my favorite live performances of this song by robert palmer
Rocking in style. Iconic song, iconic voice and an iconic video. What a shame he is no longer with us. Simply a brilliant artist and another brilliant British artist.
So in the f-ing pocket...tight, funky Hard Rock...and Robert is giving it all baby...An all time classic for me and the MTV generation.
Something very sexy about a man looking good in a suit, beautiful hair and a rock hod I mean....... daaaaamn.
He left us way too early, God called him home to hear some "Heavenly Rock" from a sharped dressed man!!!!
Absolutely
At the beginning even Robert looked back and thought " God damn those Drums are Rockin' " #MIGHTY MAXWEINBERG
+starseedau78 Yep
+Antwan Sutton I like Weinberg a lot, but nobody could bang on the drums better than Tony Thompson!
They both should have a classic Drum Off. +Iray1234
+Antwan Sutton A beat off!

Absolute legend, such a tragic shame he left us early amazing talent.Vinegar joe xxx
Please, never ever delete this video. Amazing!
+Lourdes Aguilar The paper on the ground are cues to help him through the song........ pre-song interview disclosed why..... Never delete....>!!!
@@TheBrokeTeacher which is entirely normal.
Such an underrated artist! Palmer was one of the best!!!
its because he wore ties 🙂
Oh Hell Yeah!!!!!!! Mr. Palmer RIP lm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!!! His Music 🎶🎼👌🎼!!!! Went to young, he,s in the Great Gig in The Sky!!!!
AGREED ! I'M 79 AND STILL FEELIN' FINE !😎

The most elegant rocker of all time. Such a bummer he checked out way too early.
I so wish I'd seen him live! Unreal talent!
Robert Palmer was an amazing performer and a personal hero. Max on drums, tight band - totally cool. This video makes me want to grab my goldtop Les Paul and rock on.... rock on
mark dirigible GO for it!! I'll gladly watch and listen to ya!!
Rock on . . .

An amazing performance from one of the best ever.
Wow. This was a great live performance. 👏
Such a talent gone too soon 💔🌹😥
Who's addicted to Love in 2021 ♥️💘
what a polite rocker
Robert Palmer was just as mesmerizing to watch ~ as he was to listen to. He died much to young . . .
Miss You Robert 💗😢
Man, his tone and timing is incredible. He’s in the pocket for the entire song
Masterfull singing. Great man and a great song. RIP.
Dude, it is Robert and the microphone. No bs. What an amazing talent!
And for the few who could be unaware, that is Slipknot's drummer's dad playing the drums there!

Top 5 groove songs of all time and it's all proper live no enhancement, can't stop moving to this too Charles🕺👌💎☘️
heavier than never before !! fantastic really and PALMER was a true professional he sounded great on this one but that band sounded amazing too
Robert Palmer always good to go back and watch, what a true preformer. too many cigs. very sad!!!!!! BIG LOSS!!!
GREAT ARTIST...RIP...
Love him, thanks for your music.
Listen to that dirty guitar that ends with a dirty 7th
Robert Palmer.Amazing. Love it.RIP.
This whole concert should be on dvd.
The first time i heard this song i was at a Christmas party for my work i wad 19 at the time and the lady that worked the front desk was drunk and drug me out to dance 😂 it was awesome
Horns! Energy! Raw power! Excellent!
this is so awesome live.
Missing him❤
What a class act he was, in every way - how he sang, behaved, dressed and in his professionalism. RIP RP.
This absolutely rocks!!!🎸🎶
So incredibly frikkin' AWESOME
when a band and artist are just in utter understanding as to how brilliant individually they are whihc creates the eventual masterpiece. Utterly sensational . The band is just So.... tight its just not possible to improve. Gen Z's take note this is music and talent .
Hopefully, he is at peace now. But he left his music for us to enjoy. :)
I couldn't have said it better.
2:51 what a simple but POWERFUL guitar solo!!! Got damn !!!!
Indeed. Unforgettable. And so was everyone else. Exceptional from start to finish.
Just spectacular, absolutely nails it. Coolest dude from the 80s.
What a great band and artist. Watch Max Weinberg when he plays drums, he is always focused on the lead singer to keep the tempo perfect.
Max could make trees talk
Honestly, this concert is just better than the studio versions: it’s raw, everything is bigger and more brassy, Max’s drumming delivers the big kick sound Palmer’s music thrives on. You could be the perfectionist Palmer was, and still never get this band and this performance live during your whole career - and Palmer and Weinstein both know it.
Yeah, but this backing band is a lot uglier.
Rest In Peace Robert.

Was für ein toller Sänger , geht in die Geschichte ein. Das Bester, was ich in dieser Richtung gehört habe. Gänsehaut überall. DANKESCHÖN 🤗💃💃💃💃
Great performance of a brilliant song. RIP.❤
Extraordinario
Robert era un lujo,pura clase!⭐👏⭐
Q.E.P.D
I appreciate the fact that they didn't cop out by just going with a keyboardist/ synthesizer to replicate the horn section.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video! His musical talent is on full display!
Legend
not sure how close to his untimely death this is but it sounds great. this song will never die, RIP Robert Palmer Good stuff x
this is from 97, he passed in 03
Brilliant performance, but he looks to me like he is struggling for breath at times, so maybe he was already suffering with his heart when this was recorded
He sounds so good live!!
absolute tragedy ... another smoking victim ... we were all cheated ... Eternal Blessings Robert !!!
@@brucewayne3602 batman?
Pure class, I love metal but this is something else. I could die happily listening to this :)
Max is so underrated it's a felony
A Real Real Rock Star And that Guitar Oh Yeah
My god, that SNARE! Boom! What an audio mix.
Robert Palmer.Amazing. Love it.RIP.
Listen to that dirty guitar that ends with a dirty 7th
Robert one of the great ones in a great time of music & movies the 80's
Best performer ever!
I agree. Such a classy dude.
best live version of the song I've found
My number 2 favorite song in the whole entire world!!!!!
tied for # 1 with a few others depending on my mood !!!
Eddie Martinez who played guitar on the studio version is playing lead here. This might be the only live video I have seen where he is playing with Robert live.
You Might As Well Face It,This Is As Good As It Gets !
God bless all the rock heroes of the 80’s live on forever !
Great to see him still rocking this one. He just got better and better. The 80's video with those robotic women and his high rise pants actually put me off this fun song for a long time...my faith has been restored by this clip. Thanks for posting.
Very good musician. He's a great bass player too.
drummer Max was the Tonight Show drummer for years with Doc
