The Blow Monkeys - Digging Your Scene (Live 1986)

[@lupusquenox]

The eighties were the best time with the best music.

[@natureclips5849]

In the 80s you had mixtapes with about 7 versions of the same song

[@happydays0996]

Sending hope and love ❤️ to all who recognise this was a special time , peace to everyone 🙏.

[@PamCavanaugh-up3fo]

One of my very favorite songs of the 80s

[@emillion4470]

One of the greatest examples of Blue-eyed Brit Soul there ever was.

[@hansgruber1946]

I'm diggin" it in 2024. Great music.

[@heatherchurch]

Charisma like his is so rare. Truly a work of art among artists.

[@gowerbarnes]

man - I had no idea how good these boys were live - respect !!

[@michaelolz]

Immense respect. They weren’t some flavor of the month. I’m really glad to see they’re the real deal. Very cool stuff.

[@ewaldbaron4453]

Why don‘t we have bands like this anymore today?

[@albertz2392]

Unfortunately we took these great young talented and energetic musicians for granted back then... 40(!) years later we realised this golden 80s era didn't last long

[@btw500]

Quite a bit of that answer has to do with the ones buying records then compared to today. Easier to please the average younger listener today with minimal effort due to huge technological advancements. It was very common back in the day to see the band itself collectively write, produce and perform their tunes live - Dr Robert and band are a great example. Completely live, no tracks, no sequences and they sound phenomenal. Those times may com back because my thought is that it’s cyclical.

[@cristinaalvarezarena5202]

Because the present generation are so entitled and fragile, they won't last a minute in the 80s...as Einstein predicted "I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots." Albert Einstein

[@originalkingalpha5116]

​@@cristinaalvarezarena5202BOOM!✌🏽💯

[@Bindersandcash19]

Thst was the good old days, young and carefree, today is shit

[@bertc2314]

[@brianmuratori3206]

This is awesome musicianship!! Not easy pulling these arrangements off live from the record...very impressive

[@davidhazelton5370]

The only band I've seen live twice.

[@James-wy2pq]

Love me some monkeys

[@declanmcdermott]

The Wonderful Steve Sidelnyk on percussion, Wonderful, Thanks for sharing

[@MrMustim]

Dr. roberts was pure charisma on stage and in the band who carried them far beyond their limits. Miss them a lot! :o)

[@originalkingalpha5116]

📌Sending love and light from Memphis, to each one of you as we close the year of 2023; it's been a ball, y'all!🥃✌🏽💯

[@vburd62]

[@johnschubert8248]

Yes they sound so good just simple no fancy gadgets to sound good original sound system

[@craig68able]

The video to this song was so awesome!!! Great band!! That bass line!!!

[@axelkroell1818]

thanks :-) On the original recording it was done on a drum machine called SP-12. Even after all these years I can still sing it.

[@martinaguilar4125]

100% SICKENING DIVINE BASSLINE

[@mariakatagiri3736]

This song was a great hit in the fabulous 80’s !!! Love it 😍 !!!!

[@shontapl]

I love his voice

[@rubenzamorano5194]

Eres hermoza.

[@phos808]

wow, the drummer has a tight groove goin on, respect!

[@declanmcdermott396]

The legendry Steve Sidelnyk on percussion, Fantastic, Thanks for posting

[@chrisrnli]

Absolutely brilliant

[@rfernand40]

I saw them in 86 opening for the Psychedelic Furs in Rochester NY. Did not know them but they blew me away. Unforgettable.

[@timothynolan5987]

Ricardo Fernandez That would have been ace pal. I saw the Furs open for Iggy in 1980. Met Iggy backstage and Billy Rath of the Heartbreaker. Only things that make you glad to be older.Was only 16 at the time.

[@timefortea1931]

I saw them in around that year too! ( In England).

[@jumpinjojo]

Ricardo Fernandez I saw them on that same tour in Saratoga Springs, NY!

[@stratmanuk]

That really is a fantastic live performance of a really intricate song; really impressed with how good this band was (and probably still is even stripped of all the backing).

[@wattage2007]

Dr Robert used to tour as a solo act in the early 2000s with his acoustic guitar. I saw him once and he did a great version of this tune, just him and guitar. Some talent!

[@JRB33169]

The way music used to be.

[@LisaM11278]

Love his voice and this song 🎵 ❤️

[@TRGrande]

In 1986 I was listening toThem and in 1988 I switched to Prince, in my opinion, they have a lot in common both in live performances and musical genres, and they are definitely all true musicians.

[@pixiefeeling]

Oh my God, today I love this song much more....

[@martinaguilar4125]

EXCELXIOR!!. COMMAND PERFORMANCE..Full glossy package.

[@philipmamaclay8495]

Amazing song , brings back a lot of good memories, so cool, too bad this new generation will never have a chance to listen to this kind of amazing songs

[@georgegallagher4779]

An insane amount of talent 🎙🎸🎶🎵🙂

[@GiancarloBlaze]

I've always loved this song! This incredible performance takes it to another Notch!! Wow

[@AUTOMOBILESMR]

Wow. Dr. Robert and the boys in their prime and on the top of their game. TO today's youth...DONT WASTE IT!

[@stephensmith3033]

And even today the blow monkeys are preforming brilliant.

[@niccoloferrari420]

[@juansantiago5654]

Awesome Dr Robert & Band

[@GJReed-se6mp]

Great song, great look, hot sisters, and a fantastic groove! They don't make them like this anymore.

[@thadlm2698]

Totally awesome live….miss the 80s…

[@txicocamotl]

Groovy and mellow, fantastic... No wonder the late Curtis Mayfield put an eye on these guys.

[@viatrentaviatrenta1693]

Absolutely favorite timeless song !!

[@1973833]

You should all be very jealous....I play that song with my band,and it´s soooo great feeling!!I love them!

[@DennisCelis-ex5on]

[@gjvh1]

Dr robert still kicks some ass....

[@JeromekJerome1972]

Great performance, great band, great singer and great song. It's actually a response to Donna Summers comments about AIDS being Gods revenge on gay people. Remember when pop music was sophisticated and worked on multiple levels? Yeah me too.

[@Luellen.24]

Just heard this song for the first time on my hometown station 88.1, WWER, streaming. Great music with lots oof different song that Ive not heard. 💖💕💖💕
