Joan Of Arc (Live 1981) - OMD

[@nosnad71]

They are bloody good! Powerful vocals from Andy McCluskey and beautiful synths from Paul Humphries! They made so many songs that brought tears to the eyes!

[@leewilliams2763]

No auto-tune, absolutely amazing! Almost Gospely!

[@RobbO9965]

That goofy dancing was his tradmark, great to see him enjoying himself while performing.

[@pennfarms]

I love that goofy dancing. They sound awesome live. This song is one of their best...

[@haseebzaman9689]

My early twenties days loved this song till today 2023

[@eurositi]

McCluskey certainly gives a great performance here. He doesn't even mind if his voice slips a couple of times. This is an extraordinary live clip anno 1981.

[@yipyappyyip]

If anyone wants lessons on how to dance with a bass guitar while playing...watch this video! Tremendous!

[@JRHartly1984]

He's still doing that dance to this very day. Good ole OMD!

Joan of Arc; greatest Saint in Heaven!!; I saw OMD play this song in the mid 1980s; such nostalgia! :)

[@gregorymcpherson1057]

Damn that beat at 50 seconds, could be twenty years later. A revolution in sound ! Thanks OMD.

Talk about feeling the music - Andy! ... Awesome and inspiring!

[@talktomenowxbmc]

What a band! Their influence on current music is enormous.

[@steuph1976]

From the moment he already goes one octave up in the first verse, you know he’s going into full Andy mode and there’s no limit from there, I’ll always ADORE this performance !

[@cafedeltransit]

What a great band.....took Electronica to great levels....EPIC

[@whirlpoolzend]

This for me was their best... greater than the sum of its parts as it were. Simply superb.

[@bertthebird2341]

You are ABSOLUTELY right!!!!

[@michaelwalker2676]

Andy McCluskey-what a singer! He sounds inspired, in rapture. The band are in a special groove too.

@@forestfire1232 Crikey cant remember Was UEA though in Norwich ..And they looked very nervous as close to the crowd ..it was either my first or second concert the other being Bauhaus .. I do remember them going off to Enola Gay and before coming back on they left the drum machine to it running which went in and on ...that famous beat ..All memory allows I'm afraid..

[@kgus5632]

Brilliant. But I doubt very much if that guitar is plugged in. How could he play it properly dancing like that.

[@humanchannel7825]

It is plugged in trust me. It’s OMD style. He’s playing root notes.

[@lloydgarland4667]

Has he got his bass strung upside down?

[@Arska777999]

The song is great. I hate the added speed of this version. It makes the performance sound like a parody of the song.

Arska777999 I agree but it's something different. The lead singer is definitely crazy (in a good way LOL).
