We'll never let the music die!!! Love the rollers now as much as I did 46 yrs. ago. This band helped me through a horrible childhood. 💛🖤💛🖤

[@dogresue1]

I'm 52 years old , but the Bay City Rollers will always have a place in my heart. They were a part of my growing up and I will never forget their songs

[@richardleigh9161]

I am 57 now and still a BCR fan. I still love the songs and I follow the boys on Facebook. R.I.P. Alan

[@laurastreet7600]

Loved them too! I'm 54 and just found out Ian Mitchell passed away. Their music is so classic. I don't hear good music like this these days.

[@twm915]

BCR gave me a very good good memory in 70's Especially "dont let the music die"

Awesome performance!!!!!!

[@良い人です-m1x]

Rest in peace Leslie😢 あなたの歌声は忘れません💖

[@kimberlyhayes5003]

This song is beautiful and when sung by Les it's even more beautiful, such a great voice he had and still does. Not enough recognition for his talent. Not to mention he is so sexy and handsome, that run your fingers through hair and the sparkle in his eyes. Takes me way back

[@cksammi]

Ahhh the good ol late 70s. I miss the music we had back then.

[@brigittereimprecht8334]

Einfach nur schön, da kommen einem fast die Tränen. Leslies Stimme ist fantastisch

I love this song ❤️ so emotional and played at both Alan's and Les' funeral. Such a beautiful song and sang so beautifully of course by our Les, my first love ❤️ never forgotten, always in our hearts 💕 xxxx

Never 💗

[@mandymaddison3142]

Never ever ❤️

[@loribrady6511]

Love this performance - it shows their talent and versatility as musicians. Eric switching back and forth between guitar and the keyboard, Woody tearing up the piano keys, solid performances from Derek and Alan and Les' vocal on this blows me away. Also love the instrumental part at the end where they're all just jamming away. Fantastic performance!!

[@sandyjohnson4072]

This is my favorite live song Leslie sings. He uses every awesome range of his voice. I love his throaty growler voice..

[@susanbloom4773]

Les could put so much emotion into his voice when he would sing... He got better and better thru the passage of time... This song is a perfect example of that ability. ❤

[@Growingops]

This is such a great song.

[@hbrowneyes4981]

I still get chills when I hear this

[@bettyjames4155]

I must say, this is my favorite look that Woody ever had.

[@Beany0909]

Absolutely brilliant..love this..HPD 🌻 .

[@richardleigh9161]

Who said they never sang live this is a mega live song/ they are all great artists musicians and singers

[@betsyross3963]

[@alisonhills7884]

[@jeanettesmith3127]

what an amazing voice,and song, love it how the audiance sing along,lovely, Les is a real inspriration to the music industry. in my eye's.

[@jannylovesbcr]

+Jeanette Smith I totally agree with you! He is such a nice guy too!!

[@jeanettesmith3127]

he certainly that.im seeing Les and his band in march,for the very first time.im so looking forward to it.

[@calirose2860]

Amazing! ❤

[@jennymccombie9604]

Just speechless. What a powerful and moving performance! I agree that they knew that things were coming to the end. Such sadness mixed in. For anyone reading this, you know we still as of April 2023 have three of the original Roller still with us - Derek , Woody and Eric plus Paddy . I wonder if they would be willing to answer our questions about so many things? How did they feel during this performance? What other questions do you have? I sew so I would ask about their costumes and do they still have them ? I always wondered what was going through Derek's mind during some performances particularly Sweet Virginia live performance. Try to find it if you can and check out Derek's facial expressions. I think his personality really shown through . He seemed shy yet very relaxed and just the sweetest expressions on his face. Almost bashful really and he was checking out the audience's reactions too . Think it was nice not to be met with screaming for once . One more thing - I was wondering about a museum of Bay city Rollers memorabilia . They played just as important a role turning the world tartan as any other rock band of that era . Abba has a museum and so do many other bands . I think we need to get started on this while we can. Especially after the last several years and while we still have the lads to help us do it right. We won't ever let the music die nor forget the men who gave us such a magical gift of their music. Lets revive the Go fund me page for one last try to get the money those lads worked so hard for and suffered so much by that horrible man Tam .

[@sandyjohnson4072]

Such a beautiful voice in live concert.

[@真由美高橋-u2s]

I like this song so much. I'm crying to his voice.I remember all those days gone by.

[@loumorrell61]

I feel in love with when I saw them on The Midnight Special.

[@greyhoundduo6082]

This is my favorite video! I love the way the audience is singing along! Thank-you Janny!

[@nancyparker9276]

I stumbled upon this video quite by accident. Something about the audience singing along is just very moving. I can't help but notice that Les seemed a little more reflective in this performance. Maybe the realization that the end was drawing near. So many memories but horrified to learn as an adult of the stuff they endured.

[@ilonamariaszabo8256]

Milyen " vég"!???🤔Köszónóm!🌹

[@DaisyMay3544]

Nancy Parker I see the same thing in this performance. I love watching this one, but it also makes me sad...

[@bonnied9853]

I feel the same. Gives me goose bumps. Still listen to their albums. After reading Les' book and being older, I have more appreciation for their music. They were/are fantastic musicians.

[@sallyraynor8984]

I think he was always very moved by the love he received from the Japanese audiences. He even married a Japanese lady.

[@karengarrett7493]

This song makes me sad some how,cuz it's really all over now time passed so fast. I think Les gave his all in this song

[@susanbloom4773]

Even more so now... Since Les has died it's truly even sadder! And Ian and Alan too of course

[@ZolenaB]

I love watching live footage of them!

[@richardleigh9161]

Another beautiful track from Is a Game album so moving when the audience sings a long to it

[@joannegreenwood4168]

This is a riveting finale for the Rollers, since it was part of a very troublesome and difficult tour in Japan (?). Strong, emotional performance from Les, but would like to have seen more of the other band members especially as the filming was so ordinary. Despite the difficulties, the Rollers gave a committed, stirring performance for the fans. Regards, Jo and thanks to Janny.

[@FIONA97402]

WOW!!! I've never seen this footage before! Very, very nice.....sigh. THANKS, JANNY!!

[@denisehollebeke8184]

One of my Fave songs.

[@richardleigh9161]

Another great song from the Album its a game great concert love the fans singing a long. Getting goose bumps

[@winterweib]

It made my heart heavy when I heard it in 1977, although I was just 14, and makes me much more sad now. I felt in these days gone by how it would feel to be nearly 50, knowing half of the way is done and was afraid of but couldn't escape.

[@richardleigh9161]

Agree with you Alison love the audience singing along to it to

[@sandyhowden2274]

love this too,never got to see them live when they came to Australia only on countdown. Les your voice is a like an angle.

Cool Video Janny, me too, did not attend their concerts, as I was from small town in Newfoundland but would love to. I still have most of their famous albums. ..Is a shame I have to watch these videos online now..wish it was in person.. I wish Les, Woody, Alan, Derek, Ian, Pat, Eric, all the best in life (wish you would all come together for a concert in TORONTO, Ontario (where u once came to Cityhall)... I love them forever, my favourite band of all time......BCR forever...

[@blaineca]

This is incredible. The music from this album is better with just the Rollers and no orchestra imho. What a fantastic performance. Les could really belt out a tune. I saw them live on the tour for this album but it was chaos!

[@blaineca]

Rest In Peace, Les.

[@jannylovesbcr]

@drdBCRfan I never had the chance to see the Rollers in concert either. I did get to see Leslie last year but don't think there will ever be a chance to see them all together as they have all taken different directions with their music and lives. I do agree - they composed awesome music and were and still are awesome performers!! luv janny xoxo

[@docduff2427]

Thank you!

Nice video but I wish they would have given more closeups of the others during the song. We hardly got to see them at all (except for a few of Derek). I was 18 in '82, and still sad about the guys breaking up. Still am, really.

[@leeb2166]

Another great LIVE performance to shut the haters up. Especially one who said they were manufactured and couldn't play any instruments

[@agoogleuser4443]

Those jerks were just ignorant of their history. The Rollers were on the road playing live long before they ever cut a record deal. People who say this crap ought to do some research before shooting off their mouths! For those of us who saw them live, we can attest to their talent.

[@drdBCRfan]

Janny, take it from someone who never had the opportunity to see the Rollers in concert, I just want to say 'thank you' for all your postings! I did see Les perform in Annapolis and I do pray one day they perform again. From the interviews I've seen on the internet, Tam was absolutely wrong....the guys composed great music and were/are awesome performers, too.

[@agoogleuser4443]

Tam was wrong about SO many things. He was a creep and a pervert, and he ought to have been ashamed of himself for what he did to the Rollers! I feel esp bad for Pat since he was so vulnerable when he first joined the band. No tears were shed by me when Tam died, I can assure you that.

[@helenart309]

Rest in peace lilies

[@winterweib]

I remember so well one concert here in Berlin. It was over and we knew they would fly to Japan now. Our hearts were torn in sadness, we were so jealous. We stood at the hall, spoke (thirteen, fourteen years old but felt so adult :) ) and had the feeling they belonged to us but would leave us now. Nobody could follow them to Japan, they could fly to the back of the moon as well. Somehow we hoped they would dislike Japan from the bottom of our hearts, but we knew they wouldn't, of course. It was a very sad moment. You should not imagine how very sad and helpless you can feel in such a moment.
