Midge Ure sings Fade To Grey in Epic Live Performance (Stabal Session)

[@steveodart2182]

That is awesome. He is just as good as he ever was ...

[@THEDUKE696]

Thank you for this ❤❤❤ amazing Midge Ure

[@djjuno106]

midge has never got the recognition he deserves,he was one of the first pioneers of synth pop yet hes never given the credit for all the biggest hits..

[@ALFOONUS]

Pretty sure he's done ok. The fact that he still packs theatres shows he has the recognition he wants! No one ever says Warren Cann is one of the worlds best drummers, certainly for timing, but he is, he's just out for attention.

[@DaveTheWraith]

don't forget Live Aid, it wasn't just Bob Geldof

[@MacJaxonManOfAction]

@@DaveTheWraith Geldof's a boorish loudmouth, a good frontman if there ever was one. Midge is the goods and the talent.

[@JUSTA_NOISE]

@@DaveTheWraith and then there's Band Aid.. That would never have worked without Midge writing and producing it..

[@DaveTheWraith]

@@JUSTA_NOISE Midge has done a lot without people realising it. just look at Visage Fade to Grey, which is still classed as one of the best new wave/synthpop tracks.

[@Harumi-jr6hz]

The way Midge-san sings, the sound, and the band are all so cool and perfect !❤️👍🏻👏

[@fibrown444]

I just saw him in Edinburgh (for a second time), excellent live show. Two of the band are The India Electric Company, who have supported him on tours too.

[@buzzabuzza3494]

Fade to grey is one of the most iconic songs of the 80s a masterpiece RIP Steve strange and thx midge ure for producing such a superb track👏👏👏

[@nickjh1968]

And of course not forgetting Chris Payne for coming up with the bassline and chords for this masterpiece.

[@ryderhook7438]

Midge Ure wrote this song and produced it.

[@henrikbackevall4605]

Agree totally this is it

[@SuperGuvnor1]

@@nickjh1968 absolutely correct chris payne from tubeway army (gary numan) came up with the original music then he passed it to billy currie from tubeway army who later joined ultravox and said billy work your magic on this then it went to midge ure who for some reason still keeps saying he wrote it when he didnt.

I am a heavy metal and hard rock fan but l could listen to this all day. I saw midge ure live in Melbourne when he did the Vienna tour a few years ago and it blew my mind. Stands as one of the best gigs I have ever seen. He is a musical genius.

[@Spaceseeker]

My fav bands of all time are Ultravox and Linkin Park.

[@steveoconnor522]

He was great when he toured with Thin Lizzy, Fantastic Guitarist

[@malphadour]

@@steveoconnor522 One of those facts that few know, and many that do are totally surprised - guy is a superb multi instrumentalist, and not half bad at song writing too :)

[@rob3518]

Agreed, I saw Fear factory and Machine head earlier this year and loved it but always return to synth pop

[@tomy8339]

Lol, I'm a classic hard rock and metal fan. Favourite band Black Sabbath, but I agree that this is awesome. So very unlike what I normally listen to. Although a banging guitar solo would have been nice. 🤟

[@MrEurominx]

This is superb. Love Visage, Ultravox and Midge …

[@tonyquinn3941]

Midge, wow vocals superb, great to hear you after all these years

[@joeljack1]

He's brilliant. I am so lucky to have met him. His work stands the test of time.

[@DoctorAtomicUK]

Brilliant. Wipes the floor with a lot of what gets churned out these days. In all fairness, though, the younger crowd I work with also acknowledge this kind of quality and some of them even collect and buy selected stuff from the '80s & '90s.

[@anthonymarch-ti1fq]

Midge should release this song again, as he does a Great version.

[@cehabe8355]

Why should he? It's his song!

[@MovieViking]

He has released the very version he performs in this video

I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 80s! Have always been an Ultravox fan and seen them live several times, also Midge on his solo tours. Now, at 60 years young, I still love this song, and, frankly, I like this version even better than the original. Well done, Midge and band, you still rock!

I was a total hard rock, metal head growing up in the 80’s but loved me some Ultravox, Hurting era Tears for Fears and New Order. Local Aussie/Kiwi bands holding it down too like Mi-Sex and Icehouse. Late 70’s, early 80’s synths have such a great sound. They always mix well with electric guitar

[@ringi1970]

A good - or maybe best expample - with mixing wekk electric guitars with synths is Paul Reynolds from "A Flock of Seagull". Many people say it was a synth band, but if you listen closely, the real and outstanding instrument is Paul with his stunning guitar parts and melodies. A real underestimated talent in those young years (he was not 20 or so at the recording time of "I Ran")
