Doug Anthony Allstars (DAAS) Throw Your Arms Around Me - Melbourne, 18 November 2017

I can't believe I was lucky enough to hear them sing this live!! I've waited a very long time, almost 30 years ... but it was an absolute highlight for me!!

[@yindyamarra]

Paul has one of the most divine singing voices ever created,

[@timpauling7516]

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE

[@ritawhite5536]

My Childhood was truely blessed.. Thank u my dear deep friends.

[@mengyft]

These guys singing this song still gives me the shivers.

[@jacquelinecadwgan4633]

me too, everytime

[@monicagrorud2225]

Bring “ the big gig” back. So miss it.

[@gary-pv8vz]

I remember DAAS busking in Garema Place, Canberra in the early 70’s. Soon I will be a little bucket of ash. Enjoy ever day.

[@eddiej9733]

DAAS redefined this song, made it greater than the great song it was, made it holy, sanctified it.... made it a different much greater thing

[@neilheyward2599]

Amen brother

[@rimjobson]

I think in this confected binary political situation, it also grows bikini PUBES.

[@splattered63]

It's good cover but not in the same hemisphere as the original

[@louisemoran1323]

Oh, yes, I love H&C, but the combination of Paul’s angelic voice and the stripped back vocals make this something magical rather than great xxx

[@ianmontgomery7534]

@@splattered63i find it much much netter than the original.

[@ellenchristie9608]

the one and only time i've seen these guys they were busking in little Bourke st and I threw some bucks in their hat, omg so so long ago xxx

[@paigenorman879]

I couldn't love a song any more than this.

[@joellewhite912]

Something very profound in this - we never know who we will be in ten years time despite all of our plans.

[@jimyoung6271]

Where will we be in 50 years? - Uncanny X-Men.

[@ellarose5530]

I love these guys so much. I grew up watching them and remember going to primary school singing "I want to spill the blood of a hippy"... Cant wait to see them in Tas in March!!

[@LyndonJohnsonTHINK]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the contrast of the old and the new. Apart from the first 30 seconds they two songs are synced. Is there anybody else that would love to hear the two audio tracks combined? I think it'd be something very special!

[@gypsylee73]

It’s really weird because I was listening to them again recently and had no idea they were doing anything because I don’t watch any mainstream media. This is so cool :) Paul has the voice of an angel.

[@gemmy7]

Gorgeous Tim and Paul! Love them :) You too Flacco :)

[@itsamee3897]

wow, this made me cry.

[@sseyringer4633]

Paul and Judith Durham should have sung a duet - both had perfect bell-like clarity and voices like angels 😇

[@bazmalaroger]

So pleased you shared this, thank you. I saw them the month before in Perth and sobbed when this was sung, barely saw a thing 😂 So beautiful ❤️

[@steveyarad6959]

incredible. thanks so much for posting

[@markmuldoon805]

Brilliant. It could not be anything less.

[@RayneOfSalt]

I saw DAAS live so many times in my youth.. seeing them now with that video in the background is causing me a kind of pain I'd never expected to feel.

[@humnrecon]

Here because of a silly TV ad. DAAS cover is so good. I get chills every time i hear Paul and Tim sing.

[@averyveryveryfinehouse]

Tim Ferguson... that is fracking genius!

[@ianblinkybill4559]

No often a cover is so much better than the original but this is

[@martinchildsmusic9297]

Saw all your videos on this song. Brilliant!

[@shelleyhenley7414]

Saw this show. They were all brilliant. Great, still anarchic, humour and voices. And so was Paul’s projected art work, both past and present.

[@kellythomas1933]

I remember their first performance of this

[@dingotony1]

Fantastic, really enjoyed this!

[@angeliquekaptein5420]

Beautiful!

[@marvindebot3264]

Paul is a brilliant comedian but he's wasted in that role. he has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard, the emotion he can put in a song is without par and he excels at anything from rock to spiritals.

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

and those friggen glasses ;) make him look crosseyed

[@glenblake3021]

fuck that, he obviously loves being a comedian. What's wasted in that??

[@samftr]

He sure can sing. Making people laugh has an allure of its own though.

[@annettelegray932]

He isnt wasted there.. it obviously makes him happy

[@decot2retro]

All my admiration to you DAAS

[@jesuiscequejesuis2267]

Truly angelic.

[@poweringon864]

WOW , THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[@JimmyBaylis]

thanks for uploading

[@anthonysharp2522]

"3 words ...Tick,Fuckin',Tock!"👍🙌🏻

[@bossdog1480]

I remember watching them sing this way back when. I thought at the time how much better it was than the Hunters and Collectors version. Nice to see Flacco having another life.

[@happyshrieker]

Love Timmy and his words of wisdom.

[@emnarracott3809]

Magical memories. So lovely to see them again ❤❤❤

[@michelleloetsch7330]

Paul has the voice of an angel and the mind of a Victorian guttersnipe

[@louisemoran1323]

Best description of my beloved Monkey Boy ever 😂😂 Thank you 🤩

[@Lovebug06901]

IF you can find " Tick Fuckin' Tock " on Iview watch it . It is 2 part docco about DAAS . Brillant !!

[@poweringon864]

lOVE THE WHEELCHAIR, LOVE THE BEARD, LOVE DAAS...

[@bjw4859]

You are legends

[@UltimateSteevil]

man....... this is really THE DEFINITIVE version of this song.............

[@jantrevitt8272]

Absolute Gold!☆☆♡♡♡

[@badbudgie1539]

The look on Fergo's face,priceless.

[@jeddalingmar]

Still awesome!

[@appleandoranges1]

Paul is such a prick. I hope he never changes. :D

[@ianblinkybill4559]

Still the best. Even better than hunters I think.

[@baysidedogownersgroup-kate3421]

Love love love xx

[@Ulbre]

Game of Thrones might be good..... .....but when I was a young man we had The Doug Anthony All Stars....... ......and as a back up on commercial TV we had Hey Hey it's Saturday!!!!!!

[@andrewwinch474]

I’m not sure if Paul’s voice has gotten better with age, but it sure hasn’t gotten worse!

[@kelbell9312]

Gorgeous

[@stevewells273]

As brilliant now as they were in the 80s

[@ThrottleAddiction]

Entertainers... forever

[@StephBer1]

Life is so cruel sometimes. Tim getting MS robbed him of so much, but it robbed the music world and us of what would have been so many fantastic hits. If they'd cut out the comedy parts, and Tim could bring himself to tell the others what was wrong, they could have continued for so many more years. Tim's message was fantastic, and Paul's totally rockin' the sexy Grandpa look.

[@stephaniepearce7915]

Thank you Mark Seymour - for a wonderful song, but fuck Paul McDermott’s altar boy version of your amazing lyrics has been an ear worm for so long. Thank you Mark. And thank you Paul.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Paul is such an evil, brilliant bastard.

[@pjroo]

Song starts at 4:39

[@bettyboo274]

OMg Paul that beard lmao still love you oh and tim OOOooo

[@Yowie9644]

And Paul is still one helluva sexy dude.

[@garypatterson2857]

I thought the years had aged me, and I can see the changes in Paul and (sadly) in Tim, but bloody hell, Richard has aged badly! ... ... Sorry Flacco!

[@chrisprindiville9993]

Didn't know Karl Marx had such a nice singing voice.

[@aries898]

Is Paul Livingston singing in this one? I can make out 3 voices- or are they actually using Richards voice for the the deep bass he did in the original?

[@bossdog1480]

Looks like one of them has finally got a job. (Richard Fidler).

[@michaelversace456]

I see Paul's battle with the hair has failed. Also how did Tim end up being the shortest one in the group?

[@dpken11]

Missing one.

[@Annie-iq3hd]

Where’s Richard?

[@davidbrereton9436]

he elected not to re-join the group due to his current career priorities

[@reclaimingfire7903]

[@firstdlastt-s2052]

Paul looks like Karl Marx, but still sings like an angel.

[@glenblake3021]

honestly that is a very Karl Marx beard on Paul

[@bettyboo274]

Oh and Flacco hugsarama!!! lmao

[@darkjudge8786]

Oh poor Tim. So sad.

[@shangc2781]

Tim is navigating MS yeah, and it's a massive lifestyle change but he's still singing and performing and making people laugh. Let's not act like his life is an inherent tragedy because he's living with a disability.

[@donnawinter6313]

Paul is so gorgeous but ill never understand why he has gone out of his way to look so old unecessarily

[@DENMONKEY]

Anyone else notice Richard in the background on the guitar. Doesn't look like he has much going on over there ☹️

[@bohican]

That's not Richard, unless you're talking about the video behind them.

[@Montpup]

That's flaco not Richard

[@dennisgraham1705]

My god, Richard Fidler has aged badly!!!

[@psychotweety]

That's Flacco, not Richard

[@nonineveryoumind4314]

Yeah, nah sorry, but the original version was by far the best. The beat, guitar and backing vocals was THE BEST. I am left frustrated and wanting with these more acoustic and laid-back versions of this iconic Aussie song. Just don’t muck with the original version that won so many over!
