Talk Talk - Such a Shame (Live at Montreux)

Live at Montreux 1986 is a concert video release by the British synth pop band Talk Talk of a concert at 1986 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The show was part of a tour that started in April 1986 to promote the band's recent album The Colour of Spring, and was to be their only appearance at Montreux, from their last tour.
For this tour, the usual trio of Mark Hollis (vocals), Paul Webb (bass), and Lee Harris (drums) was augmented by John Turnbull on guitar, two percussion players, and two keyboard players. As often, de facto fourth band member Tim Friese-Greene did not play on stage with the band.
:: Such a Shame ::
Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, 'I don't care'
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It's a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Never too old to appreciate good music.

[@thomashodgson22]

I’m 74 and they went under my radar in the80’s but I’ve just discovered them again. What a band! When I’m not playing their music it’s still going round in my head. I wish I had seen them live.

[@stefannickel6031]

[@JJackAL52]

Few bands ever approach this level of originality and perfection. They made songs you can listen to endlessly and never tire of. That's the legacy of Talk Talk.

[@metamorphworkshop]

Could not agree more on that subject...

[@GK-sr5of]

A genuine demonstration of virtuosity, power, energy and rage. Talent in its purest form. Thanks for the input with lyrics.

[@christianebonnaves5783]

Yes he is perfotmant

[@neillflate7871]

I absolutely love watching the drummer in all the videos. Let's give him his due...LEE DAVID HARRIS.

[@leonardofelchnervii7905]

He’s great but he isn’t Paul Webb 🫶🏼

[@treacleiow4723]

Yeah,! Good drummer. Looks the part.

[@jonathansteadman7935]

Both Paul Webb and Lee Harris, amazing then and still.

[@brendaccc]

This song is SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@mickwosika769]

What a shame that Mark Hollis didn't like playing live and left this earth far too early. What a TALLENT!!!!

[@rudolfmouthaan7892]

There were many synth bands in the eighties, love them all. Many of my age agree that this time was our best time. Talk talk kinda stood out, synth intro's in their songs, Hollis's voice, lyrics. Once played on the radio it made me run to the record store and buy album + some EP's. For all those millenials, enjoy

[@jehugo66]

I bought them too

[@CashoGonzalez]

My 5 years old daughter loves this song.

[@Jusveen1]

Im a child of the 80s, 30 years on can never forget that time.

[@aurelrico]

Close to perfection; Mark's voice, melody, bass line & The drummer... Time capsule!

[@maxdamiann]

Such a shame Mark left us prematurely...

[@kirkward3465]

UNA DE LAS MEJORES BANDAS DE LOS 80 Y UNA DE LAS MEJORES VOCES, MARC HOLLIS.

[@maxbeard1939]

Wow Ididn't realize Talk Talk was jam-bandy. They bridged the gap of the 70's and 80's flawlessly. This was awesome! First time hearing it!

[@jonathansteadman7935]

WTF is JAMBANDY, some stupid Yank thing, Talk Talk could exist Now. They're timeless, as Mark Hollis had wished.

[@christianvseggern6433]

Ein Künstler des Gesanges !!!!!! Du hast die 80'er bereichert, du bist zu früh gegangen 😪😪😪😪

[@jeffhanneman7123]

I am just having tears listening at how incredible are Mark's vocals.

This gives me chills every time I listen that's how amazing this band is Mark Hollis was an absolute genius

[@PaulKaliciak]

I work in TV - god bless the crew on this shoot. No screwing around, just capturing the performance like you were there. And the sound, perfect. Pretty good for Standard Def TV in 1986.

[@CristinaLong-hq6pq]

This song was one of the best of those years and still is.

[@magicofolletto1025]

Penso che questa canzone, che ritengo un pezzo stratosferico, sia un simbolo indelebile della musica dei mitici anni '80... mitici Talk Talk, riascoltarli mi fa tornare indietro di 30 anni... quanti ricordi stupendi.... gli anni più belli della mia vita... che darei per riviverli....

Grandi i talk talk bello il CD con le loro hits

[@jimness5902]

I come back to this time and again It's historical, a moment in time as JJackAL52 stated perfection.

[@76juno]

There was a conveyor belt of great bands coming out of Britain in the 80's. Talk Talk were hugely underrated.

[@didierb833]

Assisted to this tour in summer 86 in Lyon (arenes de fourviere), did not realize at that time that tour would become legend. 35 years later, stil l listening and it is more powerful than ever. Merci Talk Talk!

[@Anthonyambler-ny3ne]

Right team performance, brilliant

[@alexsin9079]

Услышал вчера случайно эту песню, сегодня нашел ее, эти эмоции вызванные музыкой и голосом не передать, разрыв всех шаблонов! ❤

Fantastic... My youth is in this music, great band!

[@ibipixar]

This is not just music❤

[@davidwilliams8457]

This is probably the best live music I have ever watched and listened to and I have seen and heard a lot. "It's a Shame" they won't reform I would go anywhere if they ever did..

[@raulzao65]

How can Mark Hollis, being a slight guy, have so much breath, voice, energy and tuning like that?

[@teresadegea126]

Absoluta maravilla

[@lOUFI6619]

Amazing live

[@francescoblumetti1380]

Era un grande della musica, che tu possa riposare in pace caro!

[@javigarcia9600]

Todos los discos eran perfectos

[@meredithhopkins1411]

No 1980's UK band ever matched Talk Talk. They were the absolute best!

[@GuglielmoTell-vy3qf]

I wouldn't go that far, but Talk Talk certainly deserves a place. Like many, a jewel from the past that wasn't appreciated at the time.

[@ZoneVectoron]

This should be used as an example to all bands on how it should be done, today's auto tuned vocal, sequenced crap can't touch this. Simply Superb!

[@jeffreyandrews196]

To be fair, TT is playing to sequences here.

[@dl6873]

Когда музыка была настоящей❤

[@rolf-sverreandresen2406]

Hi fellow talk talk fan's, this is one of the best live show from Talk Talk. it's sad that we never had the oppotunity to see this show. love Rolf from a cold Oslo, Norway

[@Azrael1793]

Perfectly good pop songs and still they enhanced them live. On trajectory with the last two masterpiece albums.

[@sam777flynn3]

La pure MAGIE de ce moment HORS DU TEMPS est quasiment PALPABLE dans l'atmosphère qui règne dans cette salle... ✨ Un moment de grâce ✨ IN-CROY-ABLE
