Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Sebastian (Live in Birmingham)[2012]

[@JennyWalker-e3i]

I was absolutely devastated when my husband came downstairs and told me the dreadful news of Steve passing away. I bought Steve a pint when I was 16 yrs old at the Portman Hotel in London, where he came and joined Emperor Roscoe (Mike Pasternak) Radio 1 DJ, on stage. Two years ago we went to The Assembly, Leamington Spa and watched Steve and some fantastic musicians play live. It was a magical night. He told several people in the audience off for filming him with there torch lights on, said he couldn’t see us. I never thought that would be the last time we would get to see him. Sadly missed, but definitely lives on through his amazing music. R.I.P. you wonderful musician

A truly beautiful and great song, written and performed by a brilliant musician. Thank you so much, Steve. RIP.

[@raimondrichter7877]

Mein Sohn heißt Sebastian nach diesem Lied. Als ich das Lied das erste Mal hörte standen mir die Haare hoch und Tränen in den Augen und da wusste ich: sollte ich mal einen Sohn bekommen, so war der Name klar. Da war vor ca. 50 Jahren und Sebastian ist nun 22 Jahre jung und liebt "seine" Namensgebung ebenfalls. Der Tod von Mr. Harley hat mich sehr getroffen und traurig gemacht..........RIF

[@lexxdz]

Meiner auch😭

[@joopgerritsen8190]

Ik kreeg de rillingen toen ik uw comment las. Zo mooi omschreven en uw zoon mag trots zijn met zijn naam. Joop Gerritsen Delft Nederland 🌹🌹🌹❤️

Ein wunderbar schönes Lied. Ich kenne es schon ewig. Es spiegelt Einsamkeit, grundtraurige, tief verwurzelte Erfahrungen wider.

[@pampaametje]

Thank you so much for this beautiful song. RIP Steve 💖

[@rolandvanderstelt1756]

Love it, love it, so good. The seventies gave us good music.

[@PaulHardy-yq6fe]

A Closer Look generally and Sebastian particularly have lived with me since I bought the album as a callow boy aged 15. His passing is very sad but his music lives on.

[@kathleendavey]

What a song, what talent, he was amazing. Sleep in peace Steve. The world is not the same without you!

[@KathleenDavey-c2s]

Rest in peace Mr Harley your music will live on and on. Last saw him in October 23 he was amazing!

[@ariadnitzouma6905]

Τραγούδι που ταξιδεύει την ψυχή σου....Τι άλλο να πω! Αυτό τα λέει όλο. Τέλειο!!!

[@paulhoughton5164]

Yeah Steve harley was so much part of my musical youth. From Judy teen to the recent solo tours - magnificent songs - I mean Sebastian…. What an epic !!! Great albums and incredible live shows! An underaged genius !

[@edlogtenberg9988]

What a great performence of a great song. I remember the day this number was played for the first time in the seventies.

[@angelaashpole8931]

You were a legend steve harley. Remember seeing you for the very first time live at hammersmith odeon in 1975. Made me a fan for life ,saw you live numerous times then and now when you were touring. Was so looking forward to seeing you this year😢😢. Sebastian my all time favorite. Your fans will never forget you. And forever play your music. R.i.p. steve ❤

[@christopherdavies3079]

I too was there and saw him at Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 and fondly remember right up in front of him as we all sang along to Come up and see me ( make me smile ) That made a big impression on me hen when I was a teenager I also saw him in that summer at Crystal Palace Bowl Thanks for the great music Steve . Like you this is my fav track by him

[@DianenaiD]

Makes me cry ... so beautyful

[@Tasosd1970]

Μεγάλη απώλεια για τη ροκ σκηνή, ευχαριστούμε που μας μεγάλωσες Μ αυτή την υπέροχη φωνή...... καλό ταξίδι μεγάλε Steve

[@nickphillips7319]

Saw the first gig they did supporting Man at Ewell Polytechnic. If I wasn't with friends, I would have left during Mans appalling performance, and probably been able to catch the bus back to Tolworth instead of walking. Rebel absolutely outclassed Man. New. Fresh. No lead guitar solos. Clockwork Orange suits and bowler hats. Fantastic. The only band I've ever seen more than four times, and each with different line ups. I've only got the best of CD now, but it's still refreshing to give it a spin now and again. Another parting of a great talent. Not many left now. 🍨

[@Steven-d6b7x]

Seen Steve so many times I've lost count, he always had some great stories for his fans and when he spoke you could hear a pin drop. One of the greats in my book.

[@seangage9088]

This is nothing short of a brilliant masterpiece.......

[@allans3507]

Like a fine red wine he improves with age. Bravo

[@westend37]

A masterpiece in music-history. RIP Steve

[@gerrykelly4413]

I love this song, one of his best (Thanks for some great years Steve RIP) ☘️🇮🇪

[@pattsy7242]

der Wahnsinn, mein absolutes Lieblingslied...RIP Steve Harley

[@geoffreyfox7618]

With age comes mature, and with this song, most definitely

[@UweFerrière]

Mein erstes Lieblingslied ... Steve wird in Deutschland unvergessen bleiben 🎈🎸🌈🎆🎈 R.I.P.

[@martin071252]

Unforgotten, RIP Steve

[@Wokoman1]

Such as sad way to learn one of the great ones past away. I remember hearing this song the first time, many many summers ago, and never stopped loving it. The horror of growing old, all your heroes fall away too close to each other...

[@petersimson9519]

perfect. am his biggest fan

[@spmoran4703]

I am sorry to hear that Steve as gone from us . He was a great song writer . So long Steve Harley .

[@peternyland9279]

How good is that! What a legacy!

[@JOHNNEWVIDS]

Another sad day in the world on great musicianship

[@bedfordwolf]

I miss Steve so much. Was a fan from 1973 to the present day. Was at this amazing gig in Birmingham when the first two groundbreaking albums were played in their entirety. What a performer, what a songwriter, what a man. ❤

[@jfakoggl]

A master piece for eternity! It is fantastic and at the same time repulsive what schizophrenic creatures humans are. On the one hand composing such beautiful epic ballads and yet the news is full of misery and destruction everywhere.....

[@volkerhannig2375]

I had the honor of seeing Steve live at the Burg Herzberg Festival (Germany/Hessen). At the moment he remembered the former Cockney Rebel bassist Paul Jeffreys, who, along with his wife, was one of the victims in the Lockerbie attack, the full moon rose behind the Herzberg main stage. R.I.P. Steve

[@TonyWard-ey8hy]

2.33am listening to this again. Such a brilliant song. He was on my bucket list to see live. RIP Steve

Oh my god. Only wonderful.

[@rveerbeek8084]

Rest in peace.....❤

[@ranabirgahir462]

WOW 😲 LUVILLI 🥰

[@neil364]

I bought this on a 12" single when it was first released and used to worship this song, perhaps even more than everything else he did. Perhaps not, I love everything he did, almost. However, the way he has grown into that song surpasses by a mile,even its original self. I don't think I can think off the top of my head that I would rather see any other song performed live above this.

[@juliobrandao5074]

Just amazing.

[@AsphyxGr]

What a performance, what a unique artist, so theatrical. Farewell.

[@JanHolmes-x5t]

Beautiful and haunting - what a loss
