omd -maid of orleans night of the proms

[@mcs7978]

Truly one of the most iconic songs of all time!

[@timhannah4]

Enola Gay trumps it!

[@albertscanlon2005]

80S.. Musical creativity at its best. OMD one of the finest Sybth/pop bands of all time. Andrew George McClucky one of the great showman ..Still think OMD were underated back in the 80s.. I was so lucky to grow up then with 80s music.

[@noelreilly8860]

THE BEST 👍

[@wawawswfc4957]

George andrew mccluskey ..... 🎉

[@kellyhempshall3312]

This is iconic. A beauty of a rendition ❤️

[@yips_way]

OMD, U2 & Simple Minds, I miss my youth so much but this song took me back to carefree times 🥳🕺🤪

[@thomaskorndal4715]

This is an amazing song from an amazing band. Brings forth tears. The 80’ was such an amazing time.his voice has not aged one second. Love from Denmark

[@IshmaelKipling]

Wow, this has got to be the BEST version of Maid of Orleans I've ever heard!

[@markyoung8545]

It's brilliant

[@jowenlock4838]

It's brilliant 😍

[@neilwardle9283]

Yes

[@franciscogilberlindosantossous]

Good musician vibe

[@Dave_Sisson]

It's great, but choir and full orchestra drown out the distinctive thundering drums that make this song so special.

[@katm6]

I love the look on Paul's face around the 1:56 mark when Andy goes dancing past him. And that Andy doesn't let the fact that he has an entire orchestra behind him stop him from dancing as he usually does.

[@mgmadness1164]

Bloody bloody bloody brilliant, 30 years on and live. It don't get better than this

[@leeman2946]

Absolutely amazing,most underrated group of the 80s in my opinion.

[@sm3107]

Ha ha ha I was about to post the same completely underrated

[@TS-mr6md]

I agree they were underrated but awesome all the same.

[@jambammz9908]

Mate they are thee best synth band of the 80s period...no our band has a great a catalogue of tracks as these guys ..and they're still going strong performing. .sheer class.

[@NeilNZ]

The only problem is whilst the 80s past by, we are now left with great memories, and can look back and know we really were blessed to have such incredible musicians, all sharing their incredible music with us. OMD were very successful, the only problem is there was so much of it everywhere. It was a magical era.

[@markconway9551]

My neighbours are listening to this very loudly. I hope they like it....

[@thursday1679]

These guys had/have more talent in their little finger(s) than the rest of the so called mega bands have in their entire bodies.

[@knubbelkeks69]

So damn true!!!

[@dep7229]

You can’t diss Depeche Mode like that!!! 😂

[@JulieJulieTheRockChickhermiz]

Andy is the man, he’s passionate, he’s powerful and a clever songwriter

[@mop714]

You should have seen them 40 years ago ... he "tripped the light fantastic". What a dancer! He is 52 there and still doing this thing. Fabulous!

[@Jbown1972]

Can’t stop playing this, gives me goosebumps every time 🙂

[@brianmcardle6910]

Snap

[@paulbradnick786]

Bet I've watched this 20 times today...very uplifting.

[@technohamster4783]

Me neither

[@Jeannette-55]

Ich habe Gänsehaut, und die Erinnerungen der 80er kommen gerade so richtig hoch 🤟😎❤️🤩👍Ich kann meine erste große Liebe einfach nicht vergessen. Er ist immer noch in meinem ❤️und Kopf.

[@MB-ll9px]

❤️

[@marioweiss8843]

Geht mir genauso

[@josiemcgrath4949]

Orchestra with orchestral.manoevres in the dark .gorgeous

[@speedy692]

Masterpiece. Best song ever. Not a lot of singers have this much presence on stage, Except for Elvis & Freddie.

[@marioweiss8843]

Well said

[@charlesyates4230]

I play this more than any other song - it lifts me up & sets me gently down.... I am transported back to happy times & my memories will stay with me for ever

[@zaberdokelzipfelbaum2105]

I love the way he dances! Absolutly authentic , no Show , only pure Emotion ond Music!

[@ononewheellad]

Thee very best song ever wrote. The music is something else. And Andy on stage, say no more. Pure Brilliance. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@marinusbijl1143]

I have loved this song ever since the 80s and still do. Great performance of a great band

[@lincs_ace2686]

A fantastic song, and this performance was entertainment at its best, please don`t retire.

[@limacharlie372]

Absolutely love this track..... even after all these years, it still sounds amazing! OMD are legends 👍

[@robton007]

Omg just watchin this sends shivers down my spine....omd can still shine

[@drivingschool11]

Wonderful coment

[@kgus5632]

Mine too

[@richardgeorge8612]

they will always shine

[@elenamusano7671]

Been a fan since the 80's and this has got to be one of the best versions of Maid of Orleans... amazing, gave me goosebumps

[@tarondarcy7195]

Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans) is WAY the best Orchestral Pop-Song EVER made! :-) Even after now 36 Years, nothing comes even close.

[@markyoung8545]

Is it that long ago?

[@GaryM67-71]

@@markyoung8545 I'm so old, but yep.

[@mojorisin2581]

Vienna..Ultravox.

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

OMD, after all these years can still sing and play bloody well.

[@cazzdesilva6280]

As any good parent should do I introduced OMD to my daughter. She loves them now. X

[@paulharvey1203]

Wow! An outstanding performance to a brilliant song.. That's made my day/month/whatever year! I havnt heard this tune in ages until tonight.. I'm 51 and almost forgot about OMD.. Hats off!

[@blokebirdc.9720]

Brilliant song. Love this band. Thank you for posting.

[@neilshots]

You know its good when the orchestra start smiling too. Love it.

[@ellie1062]

This was my favourite OMD song - they were also my favourite '80's band

[@charleyfarley5065]

The tune and the lyrics are sublime. Andy's singing hasn't aged ☺️

[@VNVgirl]

Listen, I know this song is older but I get goose bumps when I hear it always. I figure when I am 90 , i will feel the same. Knowing this , makes me feel ok with aging

[@garysmith4322]

What a great voice Andy has. And a Great dancer as well

[@Anthonyhartas]

IMHO the finest OMD song there is. And it just got better!

[@FedericoDLP]

He was never embarrassed about his dancing :-)

[@direstraights6644]

Wonderful to hear a superb orchestra play one of my favourites.

[@jonatanlauridsen6636]

This is seriously an amazing performance, pure passion. I’m speechless. Respect from Denmark.

[@StarKnight1Sunshine]

This song is older than me by a couple of years; I didn't discover it until just a couple of years ago, and saw it live for the first time this past September. Almost cried. "Maid of Orleans" live is always nothing short of amazing.

[@AS-vt7tq]

Simply THE Song of my life. I have no idea, how many thousands times I heard it meanwile. Fantasic Version, musicians and voice! When Andy dances this way, you can feel the passion of OMD.

Grew up with them, still my musical heroes. I'd like to see any current group from the last few years pull this off THIS good. They don't have the songs, the energy, nor the depth. I've met Paul and Andy, both decent guys with real passion. Just simply brilliant.

[@kopite2k06]

ha lol there has been a few search electric proms on youtube. kasiabian stand out for me. Also search cre classics liverpool cathedral its outstanding

[@Zynphonian]

One thing I've always love about OMD, and I've seen them at so many gigs, is the fact that Andy just dances around going mental and poor Paul is there trying to concentrate on playing the right keys on the keyboard! These guys are the top banana!!!

[@wakayama1991]

had the 12" of this when it came out, and it was great, but this! What a performance!! Shivers down my spine the whole time, and I find myself applauding at the end with my headphones on whilst others here in the kitchen wonder what on earth I'm watching. Something truly fantastic, that's what! Thank you for uploading this treasure, and thank you OMD

[@NeilFredrick-lj8dk]

Best version of this. Brilliant. Song . Loved omd since day one. .. one of ghe best groups of the 80s

[@snork7]

The best rendition ever! Absolutely love it!!!

[@paullavan1272]

A true classic, it just does not fade

[@andrewsharpe6125]

Maid of Orleans is a great song by Omd.The official video to this song is superb!A great group and so many memorable songs.

[@markd3107]

A Timeless Classic! Surely a 12 minute extended version is a must. Absolutely outstanding.

[@godovscore]

15 x dont like? OK For me one of the greatest songs in pop history!

[@kgus5632]

TOO TRUE! The dislikers must be totally tone deaf and without any soul or rhythm

[@jonnyangels6238]

Jees that was fantastic -I'm surprised Andy didn't burn out with all that energetic dancing -he seemed ecstatic there. Great backing with that orchestra.

[@00PimpstA00]

I’ve just stumbled upon this and OMG it took my breath away!

[@marke9699]

omd are the best. one of their greatest tracks. well done Andy and Paul

[@weliveinazoo6597]

Well done to the person who orchestrated & arranged it all.

[@moniquelegarda1842]

One of the best songs to come out of the 80s. It has never failed to move me.

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

Wow! WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Andy gave everything he had and it was awesome👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@johnburns1828]

Epic stuff. If I had that on the headphones, I could climb Scafell in a blizzard.

[@dahooliii]

One of the best songs from the 80's.

[@gggggggg3542]

10 years on still sounds great, 40 years on from the original!!!!! 40 YEARS!!!!!! OMG

[@gburny]

[@ConsciousAtoms]

I love this song, love this band, adore this performance! Simply wonderful. I saw them live last sunday, that was a great gig as well, but nothing beats night of the proms.

I've always loved them and this song so much! Thanks for posting it

[@wisebadger8221]

Superb! He always was a good dancer, too...

[@BOMInsights]

Watched them last night for the second time in three years in Toronto ... spectacular voice and for the better part, they have their instruments tuned to the exact sound of the original era ... tough to do with new synths considering the original synths they recorded Architecture and Morality are +30 years old analogue.

[@clivep3515]

Fantastic, memories, I was a DJ when this came out!!

[@belllaboo53]

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant, Love Love Love ❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@andreassabin117]

awesome song - especially with the classic environment. Listen to it again and again. So epic !!!

[@kevinn1158]

I still have this album. When I bought it I thought, what in the world is this?? Is that all electronic including the drums? It was really novel at the time. And it's still great. My 11 and 14 yr old love it too but they laugh at my old turntable etc.... they haven't figured out how cool they're dad is
