First Time Reaction John Miles MUSIC Live (HOLY MOLY) | Dereck Reacts

[@seamustheplatypus]

Quite simply one of the greatest piece of music ever written. Phenomenal.

[@michelle-io9dc]

Is it me or do you enjoy it even more when you see the orchestra having just as much fun as the audience?

[@justinwitte5897]

This Song is literally the definition of music😊

[@LetsChillPage]

This is another classic of the classics that every good music lover must have in their playlists.

[@andrewfitzgerald2327]

A brilliant tune from my childhood, unfortunately John passed in December 2021. He was a prolific writer for so many and will be deeply missed.

[@adrianfernandonoya5196]

R.I.P. John Miles you live in our hearts.

[@bernardachour614]

Possibly one of the (if not "the") most epic piece of songwriting ever. It brings you shivers and tears of joy.

[@glennpurland6440]

Fantastic! The original single from the seventies is a masterpiece. To live without my music… so emotional ❤️

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

This came out when I was 15 and I immediately loved it. Even then I knew, in my heart, that music would be my first and last love and that to live without it would be impossible to do. That hasn't changed.

[@fender1000100]

This is one of the most epic songs of ALLTIME. Always been one of my top 10 of alltime since I heard it as a 12 year old boy back in 1976.

[@rokker101]

One of the greatest songs ever written ... RIP John Miles through this song you spoke to millions x

[@felicityblack3555]

i love john miles. may he rest in peace

[@mthraves]

That's one of my favourite songs, I've never seen the live version so thanks for showing it Dereck. When you get a chance, have a listen to the single version of Music which is very powerful. RIP John Miles.

[@andyknight1]

This came out 2 years before I was born. Fell in love wheni first heard it. Rest in peace, John.

[@genewebb2837]

john was a british artist who released 10 studio albums not including live or best of sets. sadyt john passed this past dec at the age of 72. i can so relate to this song as i started playing violin at age 5 for 3 yrs then progressed to the piano at age 10 and never looked back. i have composed my own songs now for 40 yrs and always use strings and when my time is through here this would be a wonderful song to play at my funeral as well as my own music

[@garryiglesias4074]

Great piece... Music is so important in my life that I get emotional like a "love song" on this one... BTW: I always die (inside and laughing) when there's an ad interrupting a piece of music as you had... You handled it good ! hahahaha

[@johnm506]

If your ever going to be immortal because of one song this is it

[@wildeone1645]

Yes Dereck, John Miles was a very multi-talented guy. He toured with Tina Turner at one point and was her musical director. This concert is the annual "Night of the Proms" from Belgium. John was an excellent guitarist so you should watch his performance of "Stairway to Heaven" from this concert, it was a duet with Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation. Sadly John passed away recently after a short illness, he will be greatly missed by his many fans.

[@rens9247]

Arguebly the best song of all time..

[@101uwe101]

I was there several times. Night of the proms. And he played this song every year. Masterpiece with the orchestra. Unforgettable. R.I.P. John Miles

[@sachmetmuller1298]

I was 13 years old in 1976 and the song absolutely blew my mind at the time. It was around the same time that Queen's Bohemian Rapsody was made. A time when complex music could become a #1 hit. To this day I think "Wow!" when I hear this song, it hasn't lost any of its power to this day. I love how he skips through the different genres of music, only to keep coming back to his "Music was my first love", first in major, then in minor, and finally wonderfully orchestral. Everything about this song is just right and I admire the genius that brought such disparate parts together so beautifully.😍🥰

[@Vj77_Win]

Oh my days what a masterpiece, an absolute work of art performed by all involved and that finale....just incredible!!!

[@RobertHoward-d8g]

R.I.P. Mr. Music. What a talent. When you consider there was basically 1 verse, and he turned that one verse into a song of epic proportions. Incredible. I'm well into my 70's now, and probably not much longer for this world, and as an ex-musician for most of my life I've left instructions for this to be played on the conclusion of my funeral. Thanks for posting.

[@carolesmaug2845]

Compositeur, chanteur, auteur-compositeur, guitariste, musicien. Que de talent

[@freebird19611]

music !!!!! yessss !! Music is my favorite song in my top ten john miles is fantastic! you must listen the song SLOW DOWN the instrumentation is sick !!!!

[@PaulAJacksonMusic]

There are a few live performances of this on youtube. All fantastic.

[@blackmarbles1047]

Brilliant reaction to a brilliant song , with a superb guitar solo from former Wishbone Ash guitarist Laurie Wisefield. I was fortunate to have met John & he was a true gentleman

[@grahamharley4895]

Thanks for showing this... I knew the song and loved it, but time just hid it away until now. Deserves much more coverage. Simple concept with the upbeat 'music of the future' part, the orchestrated 'music of the past' section and the coming together finale, but inspired and a joy. RIP John.

[@Manu-sh9ck]

The original version produced by Alan Parsons is 10000 times better! The first time I listened to it in the 80's, I got chills.

[@josephgilmartin284]

Great artist.very multi talented.

[@euronick61]

Dreck you should check out the barn stormer that is Slowdown by John Miles .. excellent

[@gerbentvandeveen]

I have John Miles. Seen live so many times! At Heineken night of the proms. Just like Toto, Status Q. And so much more.

[@riittarankinen4749]

Nice to learn more about John Miles. Song as such is familiar. Seen him playing guitar and singing backing vocals next to Tina from BER tour onwards.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

John has held up really, really well.

[@robertkincaid]

John Miles had an album out called Zaragon of which is a truly amazing record two years after Music came out i saw him with Jimmy Page in 1988 and he was a member of Tina Turners band imagine having him in your group, i was a teenager in the seventies and other tune to listen to is Baker street by Gerry Rafferty

[@rockiecmfan9662]

John Miles was on every Tina Turner tour from 1987-2008. Great musician!

[@lisacrane3143]

I adore this song

[@mrnobody3161]

👋🇨🇦 I found John Miles in 1978. I've never met anyone who knew who he was. He had a huge influence on me, eventually I co-founded a Progrock band. John Miles did a lot of vocal work for The Alan Parsons Project, was the Frontman for The Jimmy Page Band. He toured with Tina Turner as her guitarist, and with Joe Cocker. Your Patreon, I thank.

[@steddie123]

Haven’t heard this in years, stunning song

[@ericsicard910]

Waoow, great pick here ! One of my favorite song coming right from my childhood ! But this live perf, I didn’t know it and this is stellar, even if this voice has quite changed since the original

[@ericsicard910]

And R.I.P. John Miles, he died a few weeks ago

[@mrnobody3161]

45 years can do that to a voice. Who knew?

[@thedarcbird]

RIP John Miles 😢

[@nonobzh-gp1ny]

I am a french big fan of this song because this is the song of FC NANTES football team when players enter into the stadium.... incredible sound into La Beaujoire stadium ❤❤❤

[@tassherb]

This song is a masterpiece, as you said it has very economical use of lyrics, he hasn't varied from the original here.

[@helmutb2612]

You must listen to the original recording! Yes, this live version is very nice, but I think you have to know the original before...

[@horstschafer1839]

Had to search for the LP for weeks in Austria. 35 years gone by meanwhile. Still one of a kind f***ing masterpiece!

[@claireletourneur9127]

Memories! I like this song!

[@Chazthefurr]

He was MD and guitarist for Tina urner for many years. Music is the best song in my lifetime.

[@patricklemeur4607]

JOHN MILES est magnifique , oui , les arrangements , orchestration , écris par ALAN PARSON ....OK !!..

[@arno33arno1]

Magic !!!

[@tonycapuccidj2652]

The anthem...¡¡¡

[@markwhaymand9013]

One of my favourites this ❤ you wanna check out 10cc I'm not in Love another great song amongst so many 🎶🎶🎷

[@iandavis6570]

[@luciagrimaldi4443]

Better is the original version ! I was in Night of proms concert and i saw the late john miles 🖤

[@nimocash3535]

Ah 70's and 80's = best years for songs

[@tonybeale4388]

Listen, 2024, this is real music!

[@kopynd1]

his pal also from Jarrow alan price played keyboard for the Animals in the early 60s also had a mint solo called the Jarrow song, you remind me of jack black, the way you talk and look

[@badhairday_247]

Epic, period.

[@angele3306]

♥️

[@tonyataylor4697]

Amazing!!!!

[@Chazthefurr]

other songs Remember Yesterday, Slow Down, Zaragon.......... ALL brilliant.

[@j-rmarimoutou7767]

He managed his old voice to keep on singing this classic. But, the record version is better. Because the range voice it's higher.

[@connexionnature4583]

Ouf! Big band😮

[@adrianfernandonoya5196]

When i see a young man like you loving MUSIC by JOHN MILES i start to believe that ALL the bad music of today needs to go away and erased from the world. BECAUSE we need to hear better MUSIC like the OLD AND GOLD music we used to love in the past.

[@lionelvianelli8458]

Une pure merveille, même si je préfère de loin la version studio

[@AndorFazekas]

6:39 I dont know, what is this, but for my this is little bit Journey Separet Way (1:07 from Journey clip)

[@CLS2086]

Maybe it's time to pay for KZbin prenium, or download the video before

[@vincentlehebel4399]

Not my type of music,at all...but certainly one of the best songs,ever

[@Alain0455]

He has been the guitarist of Tina Turner for years !

[@tomski120]

Brilliant song. I prefer his voice on the original version.

[@marceortiz1871]

Good but you should listen to the original version. Really.
