[@donwilson8872]

The greatest electronic pop act ever, I never get tired of listening to these boys

[@debz4722]

Don Wilson me neither

[@katerowe9970]

@@debz4722 I never get tired of them either. I love this song.

[@proflaudeo]

With Kraftwerk

[@xart23x]

Love this song...takes me back to my childhood, when my biggest problem was which tree I was gonna climb.

[@dwtime]

Kissing the Machine was originally written by Bartos and OMD's Andy McCluskey for the Esperanto album back in 1993.

[@enriquerenanosoriofloody5807]

Wonderful...!!

[@carlaregulti685]

Wow!!! Stupendo!!!! Dal vivo....non ho parole. Super!!!

[@itsablything]

Get well soon mal he's the guy who taught me everything I know and is honestly the greatest guy I ever met

[@likag.105]

I love how still emotional his singing is ^____^

[@SSMMTT]

Esperanto was and still is one of my favourites

[@jamesdavies542]

I prefer the version on that LP

[@debz4722]

Love this song. Love Andy's voice ❤️🤩

[@davidhope2506]

Love the original version. Love the English Electric version. Orchestral Manoeuvres rock da house. Tune in to the Melody.

[@weerab2]

Brilliant live performance...great album...met the guys in May in Glasgow....what a pleasure...get well soon Malcolm :-)

[@douglasfreeman3229]

OMD still proving they can do a good tune. This one puts me in mind of a song called Furtwangler by Fagin's Boys.

[@jpalvarez4972]

Andy was sublime on "Enola Gay" from the same night, but seems a little rough around the edges on this one. In fairness, it's a tricky number to sing, and he had only just started performing it live. The summer versions were much stronger.

[@jouster100]

nice to see others artists appreciate their music

[@МарияСуппес-м6т]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@slumdogjay]

Not heard this before. Nice.

[@OMITD1979]

They performed Dresden that night, unfortunately, youtube has blocked it.

[@gundaviecenz227]

Ihr seit so gut

[@juanmilanese]

this song is taken from the album "Esperanto" by Elektric Music (Karl Bartos, ex kraftwerk) if i'm not mistaken

[@jpalvarez4972]

Yes, but McCluskey co-wrote and sang it.

[@MrPomelo555]

Absolutely and I had no idea until then that McCluskey recorded it as a new version with OMD. Sounds good but the original was perfect... just like the machine.

[@weerab2]

Well said Jane

[@alibeaumont-filder3185]

A later favourite .

[@juanmilanese]

Yeah, didn't wanted to sound like I was taking McCluskey out of the ecuation, OMD is great, I'm a big fan

[@dwtime]

Big OMD fan also and Bartos's new album is great also if you don't have it. Wasn't sure if you knew the song connection with McCluskey.

[@curedtc4]

Can you upload Dresden too? Thanks so much for the 3 videos though!

[@MrPomelo555]

Funny sandy chose to replace the original lady voice speaking in the middle of the song with one speaking German. I assume the lyrics are still the same?

[@tjwdraws]

Well, Paul Humphreys and Andrew McCluskey are "the face" of OMD.

[@veridisquo]

The first version on Esperanto is much better.

[@gabrielaorth284]

Kissing the Handy.😗

[@skyhawk747]

interesting choice of songs they played here. I think they could have chosen much better tracks considering they are on this kind of show.

[@flukemusic]

with all that money he payed for that (synth) you'd think he would use a better voice on the synth for the melody? sounds like he's playing on a £50 pound keyboard from Argos?

[@top-ten.music_and_more]

well the song is from 1991 and the sounds are created by Karl Bartos from Kraftwerk. So if you change those sounds you change the whole song and its spirit

[@strychnyne3530]

Daniel Klöpper I thought this was an original omd song. thanks for the info.

[@helenrudd7842]

I have most of their stuff

[@jpalvarez4972]

@@strychnyne3530 Andy McCluskey was co-writer and vocalist on the Bartos original, though. His 2013 reworking, under the OMD banner, has become the definitive version.

[@gundaviecenz227]

Ja ich finde es auch sehr gut

[@paulmca8514]

This one of OMD`s weakest songs, Andy has a habit of picking something crap to play when they are on TV-it wasn`t a single or on any OMD album until they reformed. It`s one of Andy`s dreadful nursery rhyme style songs.

[@Morgan30233]

Fantastic!!!!
