Barnaby Bye "Can't Live This Way" Virtual Performance

[@dongoergen3619]

Great song by a great band. Would love to help you get booked in Detroit. How can I help?

[@bodger844]

Fond memories of this huge record in the UK on the soul scene at Wigan Casino club. Don't know if you guys knew about that. But hey you nailed it. Thanks for the memories 😊😊

[@bobbyalessi]

Wow, we did not know that...thanks Jaboose!

[@paulcollinson2970]

Cleethorpes anthem. Wigan was chasing gary lewis at the time!

[@dongoergen3619]

Got the album. Loved this song from the first time I heard it.

[@PaulO-gx2bn]

Absolutely Brilliant, Guys as sharp and crisp as ever. "Can't Live this Way" was a great Northern Soul Dance Favorite at Cleethorpes in the UK in the 70's . A floor filler that is dear to us and will never be forgotten. Thank you for this fab gift during the lockdown - Stay Safe - God Bless

[@bobbyalessi]

Thank you Paul!

[@philipwallis2892]

Thankyou for this brilliant performance - one of my all time favourite Northern Soul UK ANTHEMS

[@billadvocate]

Great video, glad to see a new version of "Can't Live This Way". Love Barnaby Bye!!

[@pauljurgen-romrig9616]

This track was a huge hit in the Northern soul scene in England. From the first bar we would run to the dance floor. It impacted on me. Still have it on vinyl. But to see you guys doing it live is an joy. I’m 59 now, but damn the years have been been good to you guys. Forever grateful. Paul.

[@bobbyalessi]

Hey Paul, What a nice compliment, Thanks so much!

[@brewer9565]

Great performance of this classic from Barnaby Bye. Sounds every bit as good as when I first heard it on WLIR on Long Island in the 70’s. Always loved this song. Still sounds fresh. Love the drums and Pepe’s bassline throughout. A real gift. Thanks for posting this vid 🎶

[@bobbyalessi]

Thanks Brewer!

[@pollystubbs3401]

Again, you are all energised and so full of energy and totally bringing it up there as you always do. Brilliantly performed, thank you. x

[@walternelson-aylott9309]

I danced to this in 1976 aged 16, at Winter Gardens Cleethorpes, it was an underground Northern Soul venue (12 midnight to 8am, no alcohol) and a superb tune, we loved dancing to it.

[@bobbyalessi]

Awesome! Thanks Walter!

[@davepinch1]

what a wonderful performance

[@pollystubbs3401]

I just love you all, Barnaby Bye you are all incredible ❤ I go to sleep with your music in my body and wake up with you still there. That's never happened before so you are obviously absolutely great. Really hoping that I'll be able to see you playing live. x

[@bobbyalessi]

Thanks Polly!

[@pollystubbs3401]

@@bobbyalessi Never a problem. Have just received your C.D's, thank you for your message, and as I have said before, you didn't 'pick me up' in the unthinkable way 😀 😊, but you did give a lift my destination albeit by the way of your apartment to listen to the up and coming new track to get my opinion, and the rest is history. That was the summer of 1976! I'd really love to know if you actually remember it, I will never forget it. Perhaps I could find a photo of how I looked at 22 years old ? x 🥂

[@bobbyalessi]

@@pollystubbs3401 Sure, I'd love to see that.

[@pollystubbs3401]

@@bobbyalessi. To be totally honest, I'm going to have to find out how to do that without the whole world seeing any pictures of me. As you can understand my photos are very private to me. Is there a more secure way? Sorry to be such a prude, (is 'prude' a very English word?) Help me if you can, I'd love to try and jog your memory. Many thanks. x

Love this tune ever since I bought the Barnaby Bye album!!

[@janinebarber8882]

Always said your music is timeless. How appropriate it is for these times. Loved it in the 70s: love it now. You sound fantastic guys xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@pollystubbs3401]

This is absolutely brilliant 👏. It's just what I told the brothers about Oh Lori in 1976 when they played it to me after stopping to give me a lift when I was hitch hiking in L.A.in before returning to England

[@pollystubbs3401]

Sorry, I hadn't finished 😅, this should be as big as that was. I'd really love to see you all over here, it would make me feel so good. Please do it 🙏. xx

[@roberthofmann4877]

You guys sound just as good when I first heard you in the 70's at My Father's Place! You are fantastic!

Fantastic performance! I'm a long-time fan who still remembers playing Tumblin' Inn on the jukebox of a local bar in Hicksville.
