Howard Jones - What Is Love - LIVE at 80s Classical, 2019

[@johnnypitt5031]

Am I the only one watching this in 2023, born in the mid 60s, grew up with the 80s and holding back my tears because that era will never return?

Gosh I miss this kind of creativity that was made then. Today's music is not music.

[@dublinjazz1]

It depends on what you're listening to. Every generation has good and bad musicians. Claiming what YOU like is the only really quality music is incredibly arrogant. I came of age in the 80s, and remember my parents rolling their eyes at Howard Jones, believing that the music THEY grew up with was vastly superior.

[@Faithful_Watchman]

@@dublinjazz1: I think you know what I'm getting at. There's not much creatively in today's music.

[@ScottCole-sb8fy]

Still sounds darn good !

[@robocop5935]

I've listened to today's music. It's forgotten in 1yr. Songs like this is rembered 40 years later. The beatles will be remembered for the next 300 years and more.

It was the best decade because I met my wife in the eighties, also the worst decade too , it depends if she’s having a hissy fit or not 😂

[@richardrench9716]

A class above is Howard. A voice that wasn't messed around with back in the day and sounding like he's just stepped from 1985. Looking forward to seeing him live in 2022

[@ET-df2xz]

He is so good. It's really interesting to watch guys age. Some have strained vocals from their sustained octave range, others you get the wear and tear from drugs, others just took care of themselves on both ends. Howard is one of them. Have been fortunate to see him multiple times at the US's largest summer music festival.

[@ET-df2xz]

@Klemheist 100%. I don't think his has hit the level that so many others have. Love Tom Cochrane but hearing him now, yikes. Howard has well maintained. Ira Davies well maintained. It definitely changes as the vocal cords over the years but it's very noticeable for those that took care of themselves. Drugs, excessive vocal strain for prolonged tours, smoking, etc.

[@nicholaspenfold1704]

Thanks Howard, Conductor & Orchestra! Out of this world.

[@neardeathexperience1111]

Goosebumps all the way through !!!! I want to go back to the 80's

FANTASTIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCC

[@mikosoft]

They took cues from the original, added some flourishes and then made an intro out of them. Masterclass in arrangement.

[@jimlassen9422]

Yes, a great start and I remember this when it first came out and he played keyboards and sang it. From the High Wycombe area I believe and I played drums with his brother on bass at one point decades ago. Good to see him perform again. I am 67!

[@gordyl9247]

When we see the world now, we realise the 80s as the last era of innocence and life quality.

[@nerraD14]

Amen to that. I know I would have appreciated the 80’s more in that era if I knew what was going to happen yo our world today. Doc, bring me the Time Machine, we’re going back to the 80’s.

[@payres48]

Would love to have been there for this. I'm a 60's teenager but still loved 80's music.

[@garryturner440]

17 years old in Glasgow in the 80s, everyone was into Duran Duran and wham, me and 2 friends were suited and booted with pony tails penthouse and pavement. Now 57 years old and still in love with H17 and BEF, and very early Human league, if you know, you know. !!!

Amazing with an orchestra! And Howard can still sing!

May well be one of the most perfect songs ever written.

[@brendanoconnell7009]

My wife and I met Howard after his concert at the Empire Theatre in Belleville Ontario Canada. What a night, such a very nice person. Signed some CD s for us and had a photo, last thing I said to him as we left was you really still got it, your voice is exactly as it is on my cassettes and CDs I have. If you ever have the chance to see Howard do it. Hopefully you too can meet him, he really appreciates all the fans and has the time to chat with you.

[@lowengkok1201]

I will do it.

[@tetablanco]

​@HowardjonessongHave been in awe of your talent and songs since the 1980s. Perhaps you should hold a concert here. The British Wave was particularly big here in the Philippines and still is among my contemporaries and our kids who grew up listening to your songs while we drove them to school. You'll be surprised. Thanks for the memories. - Caesar from Manila

[@see-rious-ley]

7 years I went to a Buddhist Home Meeting in the North East. 20 minutes after I was settling in and meeting people, Howard Jones walked in !!!!! As in, THIS HOWARD JONES! THE Howard jones! I was shellshocked! I knew he was a long time member of the same Buddhist school but him walking into a small house group of around 10 people was just mind blowing. Turns out he was friends with the group leader, and as he was in the North East, popped in to say hi to the group.

[@MrChaplain]

@@droge192 ugh wow honestly jealous, I may be a 90s baby but I grew up listening to the 80, 90, and 2000s, I listened to a lot of albums that would be considered back alley and the moment I stumbled upon Jones I was in love

[@Stanley_Furley]

I was early twenties in the 80’s (just old enough to get into every Club). WOW!! What a decade.

[@scottbergman8662]

I remember going to his concert, as a VERY young boy, with my best friend and parents who knew little about him. By the end of the concert my friend and I were soaked with sweat, jamming to his music, and my parents enjoyed the music so much that they bought his tapes (not records, not CDs,...tapes).
