10cc - Art for Art's Sake

10cc live at Wickham Festival 2022

[@andrereloaded1425]

10CC were such show offs - letting you know they could do it all. GG's touring 10CC still sound great as of October 2024 in Edinburgh. Andy Park is a brilliant addition. What a voice!

[@Hazy777]

One of the most underrated bands. Real Prog.

[@albertrobinson4539]

right

[@joe22589]

Prog? What a bullshit! They wrote, arranged, produced and performed great music. Why put it in a genre?

[@brendandivall6017]

best description I've heard of 10cc is that they are what the Beatles might have become

[@GrandadTinkerer]

Really? It is brilliant music, but you obviously do not know what 'Prog music' is!

[@paulleedham4845]

I would call it "Art Rock", in same genre as Supertramp, ELO, Bowie and Roxy Music. Kind of.

[@1961musicman]

Fantastic band .... they still love what they do on stage , and they do it flawless and so topprofessional. Longing to hear them again again in DK this year ♥♥♥♥♥

[@garyzajdel5204]

Can't wait to see them in Kent OH this summer.....scored 10th row center seats!!!

[@peteshallcross787]

Seeing them this Friday Aug 2 in Milwaukee, 4th row right of center. You'll be seeing them tomorrow. Drop me a note and let me know your opinion! Thanks Gary.

One of my favorite bands. Saw them 2 days ago in Eindhoven. Great show! I loved it!!!

[@AndrewDennyGrannyButtons]

Good lord, are they still going? (live, I mean). I heard them live almost 50 years ago, I'm that old..

[@eltronics]

Have always been an underrated band, such talent! ❤🎵

[@johnmarsh2078]

I never under rated 10cc. Their Album Sheet Music was an absolute classic and everything that followed kept getting better. Probably the best band ever to hail from Manchester if not the North-West of England

[@Don.Camillo.und.Peppone]

Einfach MEISTERHAFT - seit über 50 Jahren bewundere ich diese perfekten Musiker.

[@geffers57]

I’ve heard the touring band 10cc for a good 12 years. They sound great! Rick Fenn’s Guitar playing is sublime - I always look forward to this number. The filming captures the moment, thanks for putting it together. Long May this band continue!

[@stuartbarry7580]

Thanks so much. They are a pleasure to film and such nice people backstage.

[@richardmcelroy6920]

Second 10cc song I every heard!! - as a video on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert TV show 1975 - after digging I'm Not In Love radio hit. Picked up How Dare You a few months later with my meger lawn mowing money. Played it and played it and played it. It can't really be nearly 50 years ago. Can it?

[@peteshallcross787]

Yep! Going to see them for the first time ever this Friday in Milwaukee. Glad you survived the lawn mowing! I'm still doing it at 67!

[@peteshallcross787]

Thanks for posting! Wow, Graham's still got the voice! Going to see them in Milwaukee this Friday Aug 2. Never saw them and been listening since 1973!

[@TheTomnom]

Rick Fenn, long time collaborator. Good to see GG still going too.

[@jeffreynichols803]

Was peering through the fog at the start, seeking David Gilmore. Unreal. Same tone, similar feel. And then my fave 10cc song. Fantastic.

[@project3430]

Absolutely ! always thought that the live intro to this song was very Floyd like - just fantastic!!

[@ralpharodriguez]

Breathtaking. One of the most complex, simple songs ever. Perfectly executed.

[@colindonington6568]

Such production...very talented musicians and singers...

[@carlmanvers5009]

Slower pacing, an almost ethereal build up. Damn! This works *really* well! Great choices.

[@Olegzyan]

superb! they sound live as good as in the studio!

[@stuartbarry7580]

Yes they do

[@randolfo1265]

Yes! I think if they could not do it live to this level of proficiency, they just would not.

[@iankleinberg49]

Brings back good memories cool live version

[@marinman3551]

Gotta be honest. This sounds so so good, a complex song pulled off amazingly well live...kudos gents

[@blairhelsing630]

Thoroughly enjoying this update to one of my very favorite 10cc songs. I'm on a 10cc deep dive right after reading Liam Newton's fantastic bio of the band. (Fan since Hotlegs and Rubber Bullets).

[@blairhelsing630]

Great guitar touches by Rick Fenn!

[@ragnarmyhr7238]

Loved them since Sheet Music came out. Saw them live at last, just Graham Gouldman left. Loved it.

[@wayneklein2474]

Need to tour America guys.

[@ianmcgovern2373]

Great Bass, great band and a great tune

[@johnpayne1978]

Graeme was a songwriter alongside Eric Wolfson in the mid/late 60s..Ian later went on to write for/with Alan parsons project

[@alfredherrmann6361]

Habe sie am Freitag live im Wizemann (Stuttgart) gesehen. Fantastisches Konzert. Die Musik besser als aktuelle Produktionen, welche täglich im Radio laufen. Tolle Band mit hervorragenden Musikern.

[@duncanparsons]

The ending feel's like Floyd's Sorrow! Nice to hear a different ending from the live ones I'm used to :-)

[@stuartbarry7580]

And it's the most popular track viewed so far.

[@MrJampot64]

Fantastic Riff. Fantastic Song , when songs were proper songs with no fricking auto tune. Nice bit of Floyd atmosphere.

[@johncooper1165]

Graeme is a total legend! 💙

[@stuartbarry7580]

And a very modest person when I interviewed him.

[@JfK--OBJECTivE]

Love the echo, sake, sake, sake.

[@MrSulzerboy]

I went to see them in Adelaide a few weeks ago. What a great night everyone had.

[@tubetea]

The guitar solo at the end on the studio version of this song is one of my favorite guitar solos ever, I'm gonna give this a listen to see what it's like live, wish I could have seen this band.

[@musicloverUK]

Excellent! Can't wait to see them again on their Autumn tour and Iain Hornal's solo gig on 21st Sept!

[@stuartbarry7580]

Same here! It might be nice to just watch and not film.

[@barriepayne3631]

It's a bit of a dilemma, I like to film all the gigs I go to and have regretted when I've not filmed a gig,saw 10cc in Halifax last month didn't film so thanks for yours it means a lot to a lot of people 😊 cheers

[@theduckthatquacks6445]

I've loved 10cc ever since i heard this track played in 1977 on PHILLY WYSP 94.1 FM when they still played deeper album tracks regularly

[@benoosha4947]

Genius.

[@thegooch27]

Not enough cow bell

[@misterteaification]

My abiding memory of this song is not the sublime studio version from their best LP, it's the version from the misbegotten 'Live and Let Live' on which Tony O'Malley tries to take lead vocals, and ends up entirely drowned out by the backing vocals of the others.

[@brissiegeoff]

Graham has been a prolific song writer. Probably has more songs made famous by other artists than his own band 10CC.

[@donpaterson4938]

just like rolling stones you are well past yr best

[@johnmarsh2078]

Not underrated by me. I reckon that they were the best of the 1970s. They made the best most interesting sounds with layers ofmelody and sheer catchy/sticky tunes that made you want to hear them again and again.

[@TomTwain]

Quality... !

[@GrandadTinkerer]

Let it go Graham. For all our sakes.

[@southerner4566]

The start of this sounds like Pink Floyd .

[@jameskerr9509]

10CC and Queen is where it stops for me. How many of the original members are in the tour band? Lead gits is excellent

[@stuartbarry7580]

I saw Queen (with Adam Lambert) at the O2 this year - great show, but I also really enjoyed being close up to 10cc.

[@andrewlofthouse7121]

The Adam Lambert thing and Graham Gouldman's outfit are both very good bands. They pull together as much band DNA as possible and put on very good shows. But they are NOT Queen and they are NOT 10CC. They simply cannot be, for various reasons. But I am glad they do what they do, and why shouldn't the surviving members continue to make a very good living?

[@L5Nlcommunicatie-design]

It keeps 10cc music history the best way alive. Paul Burgess was their studio Drummer at the very first records. Rick Fen was also on tour and on record the early days. So with Graham Gouldman who wrote so many fantastic songs and on his age still so fantastic, this is the bests 10cc experience you can get. Go to them there still touring around the world.

[@tessjuel]

@@L5Nlcommunicatie-design Slight correction: Paul Burgess was their *live* drummer, not their studio drummer. Kevin Godley was the only drummer on their first four records but he also played a lot of percussion and, of course, did a lot of singing. There was no way he could do all of that live so they added Burgess as a second drummer/percussionist and sometimes keyboardist on stage.

[@ocean686]

Yeah karaoke here - but good karaoke!

[@JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

Awesome! Thanks for posting. My favourite 10CC tune, great peformance! But, um, where's the bottom end? The recording seems strangely lifeless for such a dynamic song and performance. Whatever. Thanks again, Stuart Barry. You rule.

[@stuartbarry7580]

I took a direct feed from the sound desk, so it should be whatever went out to front of house. I generally don't tinker with the feed that I get as that's what the audience heard. Anyway, thanks for the appreciation.

[@andrewcosten]

Thats shame

[@HiggsBosonandtheStrangeCharm]

.....this is not 10cc.......it's just the bass player.....where's Godley, Creme and Stewart?

[@paulleedham4845]

Godley and Creme left in 1976. Dreadlock Holiday did not involve them. Eric Stewart seriously and permanently injured in a car accident in 1979. Paul Burgess on drums here played extra drums and percussion with 10cc from the early 70s, and the guitarist was involved in the 70s too. Besides, I always thought Graham Gouldman was the brains behind 10cc, along with Eric.

[@HiggsBosonandtheStrangeCharm]

@@paulleedham4845 .....the best 10cc songs and production, for me, was How dare you and earlier........

[@stuartbarry7580]

Not sure what you mean, but I thought they were great.

[@leecoryell7282]

True

[@RonMcKenzie-bw7iq]

Overrated. They always tried too hard to be arty farty and a lot of useless breaks and non sensical key changes just to be different. I could never pin them down regarding were they pop, early new wave, progressive, laid back cocktail music. A poor man's Pink Floyd. A lot of their music like this one has long meaningless intros. Not In Love went on for 9 minutes simply because the middle of that song went on and on and you just get bored with it. Iconic musician and held in the highest regard for many but not for me. This song is a cluttered mess. And also goes on and on in the middle going nowhere. Jesus 8 minutes long. Boring crap.

[@stuartbarry7580]

Oh well, you can't win them all. Everyone's taste is different, but over 104,000 people have viewed this video and nearly everyone likes the band.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Disappointing, lack luster. How can Graeme call this 10cc without at least Stewart in the band?

[@stuartbarry7580]

Oh well, you can't win them all. Most people seemed to enjoy the band.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

@@stuartbarry7580 You miss my point, this is not 10cc. I am amazed that Stewart and the others allows Gouldman to use the name?

[@ChrisisisB]

I thought this was really good, Graham is the heart of 10cc. And isnt that Rick Fenn on guitar, he’s like the fifth 10cc:er? As a comparasion,, another favourite band of old of mine Alan Parsons Project lost one member, Eric Woolfson and the decline in quality is huge. My guess is that there is a standing invitation to the original members come with the band, and they give their permission to play their songs, or Gouldman only plays his own songs. At least I would guess the song selection is heavily towards Gouldman songs.

[@guitarmuso1]
