This song is just amazing it’s too good

[@free322001]

Wow! A live version with the same tempo as the studio, and on key.

[@webbs1977]

Holy sh*t this is amazing!!!!! Incredible surprise to see this, the best live version of Nightswimming I've seen or heard. Michael's vocal and Mike's piano are identical to the recording. Great to hear with the violin too. Truly outstanding, thanks so much for posting.

[@robintaylor680]

Well it should be I mean after you play the song together 5000+ times you would only hope it would be spot on

[@PeterFord]

@@robintaylor680 this sound check is probably the 2nd or 3rd time they’ve ever played nightswimming. The first live performance was January 20 1995, then it wasn’t played/sound checked until November 15, 1995. They performed it live the 2nd time ever on November 16 1995

Fantastic. What are Mike and Michael saying at the end?

[@WickedWings07]

Michael - "Did I come in late? ...What's the intro * unintelligible * bars..." Mike - "I think you should..." Video cuts out.

[@panaboy01]

bad performance by violinist

[@REMVideoArchive]

Disagree

[@jessmanuel540]

That's Amanda Brown from The Go-Betweens. She's amazing!

[@robintaylor680]

You see the title of the video do you see the word “performance” in there anywhere no you don’t you see “Soundcheck”. You use the word performance this is not a performance it’s clearly a soundcheck as stated in the title and clearly seen on the video. So your comment is null and void. NEXT!!!

[@free322001]

Disagree.
