[@jw2933]

They sound just as they did in the 80s!! What a brilliant performance!! They're just so perfect. Bless 'em!!

[@katagood7237]

Saw them on Saturday 9~07~ 22 one of the best nights of my 43 years! Absolutely amazing band! Better than 30 years ago. Same keys, same high notes, same movements! Lorraine is a gem of a musician. Love you Ricky you look like my Dad did when yous were 30! Edinburgh Castle you were incredible as a host. Long Live Deacon Blue! X

[@joanneclements5779]

I can’t emphasise enough how much genuine admiration I have for these two and deacon blue in general... truly wonderful..👏👏

[@janemmb]

Love you both dearly 💗💗. Beautiful couple, beautiful band, saw you recently at Sheffield City Hall recently, again! Ripe old age of 73 and need to see them again before I slip off this mortal coil. Want to be at the same end of the stage as Lorraine 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@dd007x]

Husband and wife team. 7 million records. Didn't know they were married. Great band.

[@binniemod]

Yes, he left his Wife for her.

[@halfordslain7477]

Ricky Ross great writer Soooo underrated...x

[@lanehogger1532]

Underrated by who?

[@martinsmith1538]

Took me back to my youth. Have all their albums and still listen. This performance was faultless and wjat a band!!! For those that were never around yo appreciate them first time, you missed a lot. Well done Deacon Blue.

[@simonhodgson4941]

Sorry but I'm going to swear......FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!! Sound awesome and nothing out of time, just 😍😍😍

[@MrsVR629]

I’ve just downloaded all their hits forgot how much I love these I’m addicted to Deacon Blue all over again !!! Alexa must be sick of hearing me asking her to play them 👍

[@wanwandokko]

Brilliant performance. You can tell they really enjoy their music and so they should

[@michaellucas6466]

Brilliant performance. Despite an INDIE lover i always had a soft spot for these guys😍

[@acward2007]

Wow they have not lost anything and I’ll bet gained to much over the years. Fantastic group.

[@AI_admin]

love these guys, got to see them when they first toured Sydney 1980's ... sad to miss them in 2019! hope you come back.

[@nicknewey6152]

Love this song!

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

What a FABULOUS BAND! LOVE EM! dx

[@1Macatax]

That was awesome...... gave me chills.

[@tonywelsh3709]

They sound amazing!!

[@frigate100]

Brilliant... Still sound the same. Fab song

[@paulthomas7214]

Still sound awesome....Love Deacon Blue

[@jannetteconley2677]

Omg just the same great sound....amazing!

[@markrees8535]

Agree beautiful voices, 51 now and blissful memories.

[@vickiross9002]

I love this group I listen to them all the time I just love their music ( deacon blue)

[@shamadam1]

One of my favourite bands. Amazing and great to see them still well and together. Along with prefab sprout and style council they were way ahead of their time. Rick Ross is an extremely talented song writer

[@bengunns]

Dignity, i love this song as well, its a classic and Timeless, its kinda sad, thinking about the past and reliving memories thats why its a great song.

[@diannepowell4329]

Still amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@judycross7819]

The love of my life introduced me to DB and I used to listen to ‘When Will you’ (make my phone ring) hoping he’d call. He passed away 4 years ago and this song always brings tears to my eyes. ‘Raintown’ one of my fave albums and they were brilliant live, still are as this show proves 👏👏❤️

[@flicchick10]

Thank-you! YOU guys are cool! YOU sound sooo gooood!

[@heldermorgado6386]

Wonderful, they are fantastic.

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Certainly Real Gone Kid(s) 32 years...Awesome Classic. ..great to know you are back on the road.

[@shonagiffen4913]

Brilliant group and their music stands the test of time it's amazing !

[@scopex2749]

Still as good as the day this hit the charts!

[@sheldonkerr]

That wifey can sing. What an incredible voice she has.

[@frankiedeans7637]

GOD....it's great to be Scottish

[@wattage2007]

Are you insane?

[@kennethwilliams9924]

It's a good job Ricky can sing otherwise Lorraine would TOTALLY steal the show :-)

[@sheldonkerr]

​@@kennethwilliams9924 Her old man can sing too. But the wifey was born with a golden voice that only a few ever get given. Great to hear she never wasted it.

[@bdouglashughes]

I don’t remember if they made it to MTV or on the radio in the U.S. in the late 80’s, but I am glad I came across them a couple years ago on KZbin. Another great group that came out of Scotland/Great Britain in the 80’s. Still sounding great after all these years, thanks!

[@EdwardCLin]

Yes for a small country great Britain produce the best musicians ,and pretty much everything else. A powerful group of countrys, Wales England Scotland

[@lesterjohnston8888]

Fantastic couple great singers

[@djsguitars01]

Great!! And as a musician most bands/singers these days tune down as they can no longer hit the high notes as they did when they were young so technically cheat by lowering the pitch of the song but they are both still singing this live in the original key of G that they recorded in the 80's/90's - brilliant!!!:):)

[@katagood7237]

Amazing comment

[@anubis3511]

It was something phenomenal. It's true that it was 2 years ago but it's sensational.

[@simonhickey9621]

Absolutely brilliant

[@George-rl3qx]

Watching in Australia. Love this.

[@mickylove79able]

How amazing do they sound?... even in a little studio? Their vocals are still faultless!

[@beachlife2968]

Awesome

[@bernadettefoster6038]

Touched that Lorraine mentioned ma hometown of Glasgow as their 'City' of Love💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MrMassivefavour]

The sound just falls out of her mouth ... wonderful sounding singer

[@darrenwilson8042]

Always loved their music and I think their story together is wonderful. I just celebrated my 25 year anniversary and don't perform so frankly I am an amateur. Lots of love to Ricky and Lorraine.

[@butterflywings5904]

I have just died and gone to heaven...!!!..bloody awesome 🤗🤗

[@marjorieirving6077]

[@suzannerossiter1682]

I saw them in Dublin about 15 years ago and they were great.

[@danielellison1984]

Flawless performance

[@sayitlikeitis9868]

I was a big fan back in the day & as the years crept up I sort of moved on musically but I saw them last weekend 4/6/22 in Dublin, they were fantastic, they haven’t lost it one bit

[@1971typhoon]

love from Greece

[@GreigStott]

Love these guys ❤️

[@Sotangy247]

Fantastic

[@daves3893]

Still got the passion what a great song she is so stunning. What a great thing to survive 30 years of marriage in that business

[@blackwarb]

wow he still looks good

[@dougieadam1]

Someone posted a comment (which might have disappeared) asking how I could say something about Raintown not being a commercial success and the suggestion was Raintown was a big hit album in a dozen or so countries. In the UK at least, Raintown spent 2 weeks in the top 100 albums the year it was released (1987). It was pulled from sale in the UK while the re-recorded Dignity was issued as a single (if you wanted to own Dignity you had to buy the single, and voila suddenly they finally had a top 40 UK single and began to get radio airplay more regularly). After "When Will You" was re-issued in March 1988 Raintown was made available again. Ricky said that the difference having 2 small top 40 singles hits made was instead of selling 10k albums, they now sold 100k. When it was re-issued as a limited edition album with Riches (10k Lps, 10k cassettes) Raintown broke into the UK top 20 album charts for 3 weeks - it never made the top 10 album chart in the UK. It ended up spending 77 weeks on the UK album top 100 album chart and got another boost when Real Gone Kid became a top 10 hit (6 months before the 2nd album went on sale) and Wages Day went top 20 and then the 2nd album went to No.1. I think Raintown sold well in Ireland when DB took off there around the same time as the UK. I'm not aware of DB having any hit singles in Europe outside of Spain until Your Town in 1993.

[@dazdavy]

Saw DB live in Perth Western Straya in 2019, absolutely awesome 🙌

[@andyhodges184]

I can't say I'm surprised...she was and still is gorgeous..and she can sing the hell out of anything...and if I remember right they have like 4 children.

[@rickylowrie5225]

I did not know that x

[@twizz8754]

I don't know why I was so surprised but it was a literally 'jaw hits floor' moment when I found out 😂

[@traceyfraser4302]

Her voice complaints Ricky's voice so well.

[@michaelfinn7871]

They know how to age well. Look great,great clothes and above all they seem like really nice people.

[@ianmitchell9102]

Great singers, dignity was the one for me.... 👍

[@sandornefischer4322]

Hi! It's like I T! Decon Blue tó coming back!!!🥰👍🎶♥️

[@brianblackwell4206]

Not my type of music but I do like the song "queen of the new year" l like the urgency and the groove ...admire their talent and longevity!

[@anneaddison3332]

How fab are they.

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

looking healthy there Ricky, good job.

[@richardburton1610]

Great performance and enjoyed three interview. Were This Morning too cheap to ship the rest of the band down from Glasgow?

[@tnewton1988]

Roy Keane is a fan that will do us all!

[@geoffjoffy]

In 30-plus years they haven't changed much. Both defying their years.

[@anthonyjohnson8672]

EXCEPTIONAL STILL

[@tnewton1988]

At 7:57 he’s got the look “ will you let me get a word in women” 😂😂

[@brianmosse]

Best of the eight's must include Deacon Blue and Fairground Attraction in my top ten.

[@cameronsteele6837]

Great band.
