I watch this I listen to this song when I was 13 years old love to den and I still love it as much today the fire has not went out boy George it's one of the most talented entertainers that I've ever heard of even up until this very day. Culture club is no more without boy George but he still is number one.

Culture Club at the top of their game,Helen Terry on back up vocals,what a voice.

[@riodopoeta]

Helen Terry , the name I was Asking ! What a singer !

[@michaelroccia2108]

Agreed the were never the same after they lost her

[@64andyjh]

I saw them on this tour, the 'Colour By Numbers' tour, just a couple of months before this at the Brighton Conference Centre, October 1983. They were at No 1 in the UK with Karma Chameleon, at the height of their popularity, and Boy George was just about the biggest star in the World. The atmosphere was electric, and they put on a fantastic show to which this video can never fully do justice. It really was a night to remember!

[@davidesechi1559]

What an incredible bassist is Mikey Craig?! What a groove, what a powerful sound! Amazing

[@GARose-kt4jc]

@@dariapavlova626 I AGREE!! When I was young (in the 80's) I only noticed the overall sound of a song, for some reason now that I'm older, I notice the elements that go into making it!

Just spent the best 2 nostalgic hours here....so wish we can rewind the clock....

Cool Co Why does it start all over again and have no sound after 1 hr for me I wonder??

[@coolco6159]

Oh what a shame, you are definitely missing out the wonderful Boy George experience!!

[@MichelleMC2007]

Cool Co Oh I know because I've seen this when it was on HBO and I taped it. I don't get it. Any ideas of why this could be happening?

[@coolco6159]

Hi, I really have no idea. I often found the same problems with some other posts. Anyway Boy George is currently back on the music scene so watch this space!!

[@MichelleMC2007]

Cool Co Yeah I heard. Hopefully this will get resolved.

[@nancywages7029]

They sure are. No kind of music like this anymore. They can't even sing! I went to his concert in Paris with my mom and friends. My mom loved him so much and shouted "love you Boy George" and he responded live you too. Lol. She passed 3 Septembre 2020. Miss her so much. We were living in Germany when they first started. Fell in love with them and his voice...first song. Dad kept asking me...is that a guy...you are sure? Yes I said...you know...am 60 now and still love them.

[@robinspiker3394]

So true.Listening to those songs now, makes me want to ask questions about how they put songs together because I am so impressed. I know George wrote lyrics but I wonder if he had a certain tune in mind. I know they all contributed . Musical genius together, those guys! They were all so young. Alot of musicians have long hair. George has a wonderful voice and presence. Let’s be real, we first fell in love with his angelic voice but then he’s an attractive man. I heard some upsetting (old) news about him. Then I remembered that I can look up on KZbin to my heart content ALL the BOY GEORGE I want to now! 😂. Only God knows who we are. He causes all things to work for the good of those who who love him and are called according to his purpose..

[@tekflower]

If anyone wants to own a copy, it's on the Culture Club Greatest Hits DVD from 2005 as a DVD extra. It's basically got all of their videos and Amazon has it for $15US.

[@musicforthepeople4701]

Very tight band. Sound great. So talented.

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Never realized just how good of musicians these guys are until I watched this for the first time several years ago. Excellent band all the way around :)

[@gailreed4597]

That they were! I think they were a bit overshadowed by George's AMAZING voice. It was HARD to get to know the rest of the band as interviewers tended to focus on George and ignore the other three.

[@jrpg0630]

My favorite artists are from the 80's, wish i was alive back then. Good thing we have youtube.

There was a lot of good music made back then, as you're discovering.

[@erzulie8972]

It took nearly 40 years to realize how precious, and fleeting, those times were. We thought they would never end... I deeply wish they hadn't. People were so much more open-minded, open-hearted, tolerant, laid back... Where did those years go...gone forever? Perhaps, but never forgotten. Thank You for posting this concert. Lifted my dark spirit, getting harder to do...
