Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love (Live in NYC - 1997)

[@lynnschnekenburger7270]

Known as the best dressed man in rock'n'roll !!!!! Great catalogue of work.

[@phil4977]

I’ve seen a few interviews and he describes himself as an introvert. Live performances would have been a big thing for him, yet he did a great job.

[@kendeestraps]

He was my sexy baby for 7 years. We loved each other❤

[@kendeestraps]

I dressed him😂

[@kendeestraps]

He was so shy

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

Robert Palmer was to the eighties what Bobby Darin was to the sixties. Well dressed and charisma with a silky voice.

[@lordburlap4514]

Only a powerful voice could deal with that powerful music behind it!!!!!!!!!

[@michellereed5638]

What I like about this, is the raw apparent talent displayed here. It is the real deal. No studio corrections here. This is HIS real voice, no lip syncing here. This IS as good as it gets. Today's performers seem to cheat, and even some of the older ones do, with managers using gimmicks off stage using devices to electronically fix the pitches of their voices. NOT here, this is the real singing voice live, and on display, and it is refreshing to hear. RIP. WE longer have this kind of talent anymore. To much studio work, and then audiences are disappointed by the real performances. Thanks for posting this performance, it is a gem. Love it. Michelle Reed

[@neonwilliams5300]

Agreed, Real talent, what you hear is what you get. I don't use autotune on any recordings, so when I sing live, the audience is getting the same quality. No disappointments! I think it makes you work harder to get your vocals better.

[@44mazza]

Beautifully put,you sound like a singer/musician yourself.

[@LouisPaquette]

[@FRailFan]

What about Rick Astley despite the damn memes turning the guy into an internet joke but the guy can fucking sing and still performs (in a suit usually.) Also don't forget about Sir Elton John who side aged but his voice aged very well and is still writing new songs even.

[@davidbarnett610]

Palmer was a masterful professional. I love seeing how much Weinberg is enjoying playing with him, straight glee

[@jaybee9269]

Max ALWAYS looked bored with the “E” Street Band.

[@Leftysfive93]

He had style, could sing, and he looked like he had balls that had to hauled in a dump drunk. RIP Robert Palmer.

[@JohnSmith-oj6ir]

Max Weinberg should get some sort of recognition. He has the best posture of anyone who's ever played rock and roll drums.

[@kenthemanmcmillan8965]

Too many drummers hunch over the kit. You can blame as much as i hate saying this as they are all legends but Buddy Rich, Eric Delaney, Louie Bellson and even Gene Kupra for that. Upright playing style is the best way to play the drums.

[@tigerhawkz4402]

Check out some Rascals videos Dino Danelli. drummer #1

[@warrenphillips69]

Funny I was thinking the same thing as I was scrolling past your comment.

[@redrock717]

@@kenthemanmcmillan8965 really depends on how big the kit is too. Max’s son Jay plays a pretty decent sized kit in Slipknot, so I believe he’s bent over a lot.

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

Closest other drummer to Charlie Watts

[@kevinoconnor4102]

I spotted something that I have never seen before in all the concerts that I have been too and there were many. When the late Robert introduces the guitarest he steps aside and when he acknowledges the drummer he does the same. This is to make sure that the focus is on them. Now that was a class act.

[@FormerMPSGT]

That used to be done when someone had a Solo Spot as you say in ‘Class Acts!’

[@Carlschwamberger1]

Carlos Santana, Billiy Gibbons, to name a couple others can be seen doing the same. Santana could have made the same fortune and rep as a prima dona guitarist. Instead he had a fine instinct for stepping back when others on stage were hitting their best.

[@gtb5]

The only song in the world that must be performed by this man and most importantly with a suit on, no one and nothing else.

Honestly, this concert is just better than the studio versions: it’s raw, everything is bigger and more brassy, Max’s drumming delivers the big kick sound Palmer’s music thrives on. You could be the perfectionist Palmer was, and still never get this band and this performance live during your whole career - and Palmer and Weinstein both know it.

"Addicted to Love" is one of Robert Palmer's most famous tracks, originally released in 1986. The song is known for its catchy melody, smooth vocals, and iconic music video featuring models dressed in black and playing guitars. The live version of "Addicted to Love," recorded in NYC in 1997, captures the energy and charisma Palmer brought to his performances. In this live setting, you can expect a dynamic rendition of the song with Palmer's engaging stage presence and the band's lively instrumentation. The 1997 live performance often highlights Palmer's powerful vocal delivery and the tight, polished sound of his band. It's a great way to experience the song with the added vibrancy of a live audience and the spontaneity of a concert setting. chat gpt
