Duran Duran - Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) (Live Performance)

[@TrippingOverParadise]

Still gives me goosebumps after all these years! I always wished they had done a studio version of this.

[@slugluv1313]

they did! B-side of "The Reflex," i beleive

[@TrippingOverParadise]

slugluv1313 😮is there a digital version?

[@slugluv1313]

@@slugluv1313 it's this same live version.They never did studio version unfortunately. ( Same happened with live Melting Pot's Culture Club.)

This does not come close to Harley singing it live or otherwise.

80s was the best decade for music no other can beat it

[@Battlady57]

The 80,s are my favourite decade but i think this song has been ruined.awful.the original is so much better.

[@dawnjenniferclark4464]

60's

@@dawnjenniferclark4464 Yep, 60s, 70s and 90s were better than the 80s, but the 80s did have its moments!

Possibly the best cover version of a song ever made!

[@hollymuir5063]

Omg!!! I remember holding my little cassette tape recorder up to my mom/dad's tv in the 80's & recording this. You know, with the orange record button. 😂 I was like 12, I'm now 45 . Still in love with JT.

YOU KNOW UR A DURANIE WHEN...you know all the words to this song! Gotta love it!

[@BX138]

It's a cover

[@sachamarshall9187]

OMG! First heard this on a cassette tape in "82 when I was 10 years old! Didn't even know if it was DD for sure! Now it's 2021, I'm 48 years old and CRYING wishing to be young again! I have watched the video of Cockney Rebel's original version of this song and DD HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK! HOME RUN!!! DD's version is much better! More energy!

[@shannenbuehler5065]

Better, WAY BETTER, than the original! More of everything! Duran Duran is one of the greatest song writing, musically inspiring bands ever!! Absolutely awesome! And so very young at this time! WOW!!

[@ionia23]

You could easily nominate this one of the single greatest cover songs of all time. They did such a damned good job, it might as well be their own. This would be a really nice treat to throw in as an occasional special encore on the next tour.

[@MrRussor]

I was raised on Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. Only just found this and I was pleasantly surprised, it's really good!

[@IanAshenden]

Russell Webster b side of The Reflex

[@kw2776]

I didn't know it was a cover for ever... no I know why it wan't ever put on an album!

[@essouthward]

Duran Duran covering your song? Ultimate respect

[@sergrod1]

Beautiful version. RIP Steve Harley. 😢

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Simon's vocals are to die for. John sings well here too.

[@ge-8135]

Most underated band in history. Simon was so worried about pitch, yet he was great.

[@anzu1970]

Underated? With a keyboard player unable to play a simple chord or play with two hands... Every sounds recorded.... They were 4 musicians and a incompetent one.

[@amandah5478]

I used to love this band. We used to go to their houses (Nick and John) every weekend in the hope of meeting them. Their parents must have been so sick of us. But they were always charming. We helped Nick's mum in with the shopping once as we got to know her, and got Nick's Auntie Pat's autograph when she was there once.

[@jjhofstra5956]

cool anecdote!

[@MaudsleyPete]

WHAT A B SIDE.ONLY EVER PLAYED THE REFLEX ONCE & THIS SIDE HUNDREDS OF TIMES.BRILL!

[@mias1110]

@LustingSvenska I'm right there with ur mother!! I was a HUGE Duranie "back in my day" (I'm almost 40 now) And I 1st heard this song when I was in 7th grade & feel in love with it & them!!! They were my 1st concert when I was 12, & I get to see them finally again in Oct!!! They still make me smile & bring a tear of nastalgic joy to my eyes!!

[@yme16y]

A friend of mine posted a You Tube clip of Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile)... and it completely took me back to a casette recording of the same song covered by Duran Duran from 1982 that my penpal in the UK sent me. Had to look it up. OMG. So many times on repeat to now see this with my own eyes. I love the times we live in.

[@pitoutopit]

I loved The Reflex so much when it came out in 1985. And then one day I just flipped the side. And WOW.

[@antokindness]

You've done it all, you've broken every code And pulled the rebel to the floor You spoilt the game, no matter what you say For only metal, what a bore! Blue eyes, blue eyes How come you tell so many lies? Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, running wild There's nothing left, all gone and run away Maybe you'll tarry for a while It's just a test, a game for us to play Win or lose, it's hard to smile Resist, resist It's from yourself, you have to hide, oh Come up and see me to make me smile, oh Or do what you want, running wild There ain't no more, you've taken everything From my belief in Mother Earth Can you ignore my faith in everything 'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth Away, away And don't say maybe you'll try To come up and see me to make me smile Or do what you want just running wild Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, running wild Come up and see me

Went to their first tour in 1981 when they played the Liverpool Royal Court and again for this tour in '82 at the Liverpool Empire. I remember this song so vividly, they played it as an encore and it was the first time I'd heard it. All these decades later and it's still a brilliant cover - Always loved the girl at 4:52!

[@smidsy4747]

One of the best cover versions ever. From of the greatest bands ever.

actually the reflex and the other mainstream DD songs like hungry like the wolf ,union of the snake ,wild boys and is there something i should know i really don't listen to as often as the songs that weren't released on radio or had much "radio play" to me the ones that weren't released are the real master pieces

[@blackpeter70]

As far as cover versions go, this is right up there with Roxy Music's Jealous Guy. It helps when your band has a really kick-arse rhythm section, and Duran Duran totally own this song now. Perfecto!

[@jjhofstra5956]

i love the energy of this.......it just captures the 'duran can do No wrong' magical peak of their first half of the 80's

[@grape512]

They were in such a groove they really could've gone on playing this for another minute or three!

I went to an all girls school where it was divided between (us) Duranies and (them) Whamies. I was besotted with Nick Rhodes and would dress like him and have my hair the same styles as his, we always got hassle from the Wham fans who would always say Nick was gay.. so guess who got egg on their faces when George came out!! lol

@LustingSvenska I think that is one of the loveliest comments I have ever read. Also very true. I have been a fan sine I was 12. I saw them for the first time in July 09 and I am going again in May. I dont imagine they will play this, which is a real shame. It was a B side to The Reflex, and a cover of an original song by Cockney Rebel. But they make it their own and they sound amazing. Duran Duran were my Beatles. They defined a time of my life.

[@aodwora]

Oh swoon... I can't believe I've never seen them live. It's one of the top things on my bucket list.
