Eurythmics - You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart (Live on TOTPs)

[@smishydog5364]

Chicago Theater, 1989, 7th row, left center. THIS was the apex: "Don't cut me down..." absolutely melted my knees out from under me...

[@PaulWilliamGibson]

I remember watching this live at the time; we all stopped what we were doing and watched, engrossed. People were talking about it at work the next day. In the eighties, before the advent of MTV Unplugged, it was very rare to see a band play acoustically, stripped back, like this. Nowadays you can’t move for people keeping it real with acoustic performances. This though, despite being something of a novelty, was a special thing.

[@dynjarren8355]

To ask Annie Lennox to lipsinc would be a crime! Finally the producers realized this song needed a live rendition! Absolutely Brilliant!

[@theveryfirst]

How on earth can anyone not like this? It is beyond words. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Annie and Dave. Beautiful.

[@youtubesuresuckscock]

There are a lot of really dumb people.

[@313girl5]

I hope you saw her do this at home recently on KZbin. Great!

[@glennlennox3636]

Fantastic ! NOBODY could sing live better than Annie Lennox in her 30's and 40's. Singers today would die to be able to sing live like Annie.

[@ianshimmin111]

A supreme performance by Annie Lennox. Wonderful. Also a masterclass in accompaniment by Dave Stewart. There's a huge difference between strumming along and bringing the music to life. He's both conductor and orchestra with an acoustic guitar.. Class.

[@ibosquez5238]

ANNIE LENNOX live, no autotune, lip sincing, no nudity, showing everybody how it's done. TALENT!

[@kailashpatel1706]

Class..

When I realised what a live performance actually was, life changing. This performance still blows me away all these years later!

[@TimWild-o4m]

I remember this like yesterday one of the first times a band played live and it still gives me goosebumps all these years later, the wonderful Annie lennox at her best.

[@slapshot0074]

Brought goosebumps then and still does now. Fantastic performance

[@zoe-janesutherland4359]

This is what you call a live performance! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Thesoulmistake]

I'm not a Eurythmics fan but I remember watching this and being totally mesmerized. The best Top Of The Pops performance I ever saw.

[@richardnunns5727]

Yep 👍 righteous

[@britboyrugby]

She was so much more than a pop star in the 80s. True artistry.

[@karlperriment7763]

Wow.. her control is on another level. Nobody comes close

[@purpleman1974]

This is absolutely brilliant. This woman is so special.

[@garymurray8903]

Talent, beauty, artistry, intelligence, creativity, innovative, timeless music ❤

[@rogerjones2596]

Real artists singing a real song with real heart. No lip sync here

[@matthewlopez5486]

The true Queen of the Brit Awards. This is how a decent contralto sings and how a songwriter writes decent songs alone or with just one other. Adele take note. This lady banged out amazing material every year. No writers block.

[@al3xxxpv81]

Annie🤩🤩

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

What an incredible performance. SUPERB!

[@niambrash6066]

SHES A FUCKING LEGENED I think her voice is the best female voice ever ...

[@aroma2174]

I like this better than the actual studio track

[@mostynsowner]

I always remember this as being one of the best performances I ever saw on Top of the pops

[@ReneCapone510]

Just incredible

[@Hymerati]

[@MrAnamchara]

I rememeber watching this at the time of broadcast and it sent prickles up my spine. Thanks for posting. I saw the acoustic versions on other shows at the time but this one was the best.

[@TheGodParticle]

Me too funny enough, played the cassette album, savage to death.

[@Valveus]

Apparantly they played this during rehearsal and it brought the studio to a standstill

[@freddiefries]

Love Eurythmics songs 😊❤

[@theunfathomableofspiritual1241]

This is really good. They are fantastic life. She has a great voice😊👍❣️

[@darrylkee6689]

I was,nt a fan of this song but i remember the performance..stunning. Look at the peoples reaction. The best ever live totp performance i ever saw

[@markrutherford7408]

I saw (witnessed?) this as it was broadcast. I was a child. My first reaction was at 1:51 - why didn't the crowd erupt? My second was at 2:08 - what did Dave just do there? No internet, just a fading memory that something very amazing had occurred. Well I remembered it, and here I am now.

[@CailiWilk]

I’ve been thinking about this song for more than 30 years. Came looking for it again tonight :)

[@hjmhjm6238]

meine güte so toll.😍🥰🤩😘

[@leesharpe841]

Now here is one classy woman. Strong, beautiful & a voice of an 😇 👼 . Whole package 📦!!

[@claudermiller]

Love Annie!

[@stevedarvill8685]

I remember this well. Thanks for posting. 👍 Feb 2021. 💙

[@jameslawson5056]

Hi i love at video of the eurythmics I have ben are fan fo years the video so so so so cool ❤🧡💛💚💙⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@1963armymom]

Annie’s voice is its own instrument - no need for anything else besides the strum of a simple guitar.

[@Veej1971]

Exactly as MrAnamchara said, I remember seeing this and being totally blown away - thank you for posting - really appreciate it!

[@ACCH-cm9ou]

EXTRAORDINARY!

[@soulsniper43]

Totally Live !!!

[@otoleya]

Stunning duo...

[@walterkemp6558]

Brilliant.

[@MrNickb1964]

You have placed a chill down my spine!!! Love this X.

[@TimWild-o4m]

One of the greatest performances on totps ever!

[@THECARKUS]

Beautiful

[@ianstewart1883]

Sensational, brilliant performance. Absolutely love it. Why don't you do an acoustic tour, like at the Sage Gateshead. Simple Minds did it , was absolutely the best. So no reason why you could not do it. Do it before it's too late, believe me.

[@ChrisMarie93]

Aaah so fantastic... wow

[@nicce]

Incredibly powerful

[@schtuff.8207]

I love that people aren't walloping wooooo when it gets quiet

[@CARMSFAV]

Awesome! Thanks James.

[@dontpanicblink]

this is how to sing live no other woman can do this.

[@ianstewart1883]

Unbelievable

[@patsywhiddon1832]

Poor baby! You'll get over it!

[@TheMarkcarmichael3]

I remember recording this on vhs and my dad taping over it, I was really pissed off....

[@david-spliso1928]

I wonder how they wangled this on Top of the Pops in the 80s, when they usually insisted on a band miming to the record. Did they say they wouldn't perform unless it was live? :)

[@zoe-janesutherland4359]

Probably, Eurythmics were huge at that point and TOTP needed Eurythmics more than Eurythmics needed TOTP. All bands/groups should sing live in all performances, none of this miming/lip synching shit we have all the time nowadays.

[@ramjam2499]

Me hubiera gustado escuchar a Annie Lennox en Roxette. Grandes temas pero en vivo no llegaban a este nivel vocal. Sin desacreditar a Marie, claro, qpd.

[@HenryMcGuinnessGuitar]

I'm not a big fan of either of them - a strange, insecure couple. But they've made an impression on my life: First whatever the Sweet Dreams video was about - it certainly stayed in my head. Secondly this performance, just when it looked like pop music was going down the toilet, and lastly when I waited on my own in a room as my partner was prepared for a C section delivery "there must be an angel" was on the radio" :) so they've provided the soundtrack for 1 or 2 moments, heh
