[@sneakyrabbit3465]

This man has an amazing voice!

[@voahiranarakotonaivo6480]

What a powerful and amazing voice!!! Still sends chills down my spine. Just saw them last week!! They rocked!!

[@ramonkariri]

Powerful voice.

[@ariannec]

I love Roland's voice when he talk and when he sing

[@maggysalas7744]

😍😍😍 Roland Orzabal!!!

[@maha77]

his music has been the soundtrack for my life

[@macangus123]

No,No, think you wrong, listen to them live,no differant to a recording,best band live.

[@lindamaygregory]

Me too!

[@petezereeah517]

Very talented guy. like all people with great talent who do what they do....he makes it look easy.

[@Javier_Jimenez71]

Roland has such a distinctive voice. Once he starts singing you know it’s him. Glad I saw TFF at the Beacon in NYC 🥃

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

I saw them in 2004 the

Wonderful voice and talent.

[@judysmith-randle1558]

That big toothy smile....brilliant ..as the sun on a hot day!!!

[@kimsalter9333]

CAnnot stop looking at his gorgeous hair!

[@tinajaneoxnam7495]

Kim Salter .and his face & voice is gorgeous aswell.

[@InCminor]

Roland is also a very talented novelist. Loved his initial offering. Hoping for more. 😘

[@RB-hz2ee]

Saw TFF in Sactown in July, and to say they did not disappoint, is a huge understatement. Absolutely spot on and fantastic. Roland's voice was awesome and as powerful as ever.... and Curt was on top of his game. If you like their sound at all, take advantage if they're anywhere near you. You won't regret it.

[@coupleofbeers31]

I didn't. May 2022 they were here in Phoenix. Lord what a show. They were spectacular and the crowd went insane the whole time. They had Garbage open for them and she too was amazing. One of the best nights of my life.

[@gregemerson7648]

@@coupleofbeers31 lucky I wish I could say the same but living near Toronto, but not in, they aren't coming here:( Some groups I wish I had seen, Genesis, George Michael and TFF....have to settle for RUSH and the WHO lol....they are such a gifted group love their new album too!

[@yvette263]

Absolutely. Their album, Tipping Point is great. It may have taken years, but it was worth it. Roland's voice is magnificent.

[@AudiophileTubes]

TIMELESS. 'Elemental' is a GREAT release!

[@ryanjofre]

His voice is outstanding and truly powerfull...................what true Audiophile could disagree with that? It makes you wanna build a tube amp. Namaste

[@judysmith-randle1558]

@@ryanjofre Agreed. As one fan commented in a prior video Roland has a "mighty righteousness" to his voice.

[@brucelaborin2124]

Even though Roland is the centerpiece here in this video, and rightly so, no one ever mentions what a great host Arsenio was. So polite, yet asking tough questions and somehow making his guests feel comfortable.

[@petezereeeah]

Arsenio was an azzhole. When that Rodney king thing happened he pissed off so many people the network cancelled him. He was a fake , and everybody saw it

[@choosecarefully408]

Well yeah, he *tried* but Roland is never comfortable in these settings. The reason he hesitates so much is that he has to censor himself for American Television.

[@tomkruze2749]

Absolutely Correct! Brilliant observation. Especially in comparison to 2024 hosts Arsenal was truly a class act. On a different topic Roland is such an intellect. It’s amazing to see such talent and intelligence married with a sense of humanity.. they don’t make them like this anymore that’s for sure.

[@PaulaWilliams29]

Such an amazing and powerful voice Roland have! Live just like in the studio! I love Break It Down Again and i love when he is funny

[@dellamarie3924]

I love Tears For Fears 😍

[@selinaogorman8380]

I never get tired of listening to tears for fears great band and I love Roland.

[@beccalynne31]

After 20yrs of waiting, finally saw them in Indy :-) Oh happy day!!

[@beccalynne31]

and I see them in Louisville and Columbus this year!!! HERE WE GOOOOO!!!

[@7789rc]

My fav song from them and they sounded great I saw them in Columbia MD last week

[@judysmith-randle1558]

Okay...ome more time..Breathtaking Smile...

[@AngelHawks]

What a great performance and such a great song!

[@Waterboyofsuperman]

Hardly saw Arsenio back in the day (was a little young for him) but lately I’ve viewed him and someone like Dick Caveatt as forgotten gems. It’s a shame Arsenio didn’t end up becoming the next David Letterman.

[@peppapig-mf4cs]

Takes me back in time.... love those days....

[@teresadkirse8489]

Roland has always been the talent and driving force of TFF. Their music has matured so much over the years and Roland's voice has matured and sounds so much better. However, I have some very fond memories of my dating life in the 80's while listening to TFF.

Just Wow!!! He still does it for me...after all these years.

[@kennethsmith7002]

look at him now......lets just say poppa time hasn't been good to him...

[@judysmith-randle1558]

I agree... my guess is that he just has neglected to take care of himself. We all age, however the way you choose to age, deliberately or by default is the deciding factor...

Got that right

[@kmaehl]

@@kennethsmith7002 his voice is still unbelievable and his hair has looked amazing for 4 decades. Hope mr. time smiles on you in a similar way….

[@EpicFilmCriticz]

Tears for fears was one of the last new bands you would see play extremely well live! After that the whole "mtv" autotune thing started!

[@helixmoore7636]

Holy hell he is gorgeous

[@ElCatra1]

I still remember the night I watched this show 20 years ago in Jamaica, Queens, NY.

[@mjrivasbn]

When I first heard this sing on the radio I thought it was Michael Hutchence singing! I’m sorry I discovered the song this late

[@judysmith-randle1558]

Aresenio has such a wonderful and engaging style of interview. Always allowing his guests to shine....nice work Arsenio.

[@marnacfrancoise555]

Super !!!

[@JasonSum1979]

great upload.... it's hard to believe this was 1993 less then a year bloody grunge killed off Rock which in turned become a parody of itself.... solid rock music has it's strange ups and downs since 1993

[@inrissk]

True, true... but I'm still miffed about rock killing off jazz!

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

That's true, grunge did kill rock. Bring back Rock and Roll like Tears For Fears

[@MickeyDs14]

Steve Kim I’d actually be more inclined to say that Pop and R&B killed off jazz, and straight up Rock killed Blues. Only because Pop and R&B still utilize jazz chords. And the same for Rock with Blues chords. But it’s still cool to find those genres laced in everything else because it truly shows the influence and progression.

[@progmeup]

Roland evidently liked grunge, since he covered Creep live and also used some pretty grungy sounds on War of Attrition, Until I Drown and The Madness of Roland.

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

Roland is fabulous with and without Curt. This must have been after the split when Curt headed to Hollywood to become rich and famous..😀😀😀

[@jamesdavison2927]

AMEN on "with or without Curt" I've been been blasted for saying so I DONT CARE during this era I hardly noticed Curt wasn't there I ALSO LOV V V V E the bass player- Gail ann Dorsey FELL IN LOVE WITH HER during "woman in chains" when i.saw them on tour Then when she played with Bowie all those years, especially during "under pressure"

[@ria9874]

SO TRUE 🎉

[@ria9874]

The most BEAUTIFUL man on earth. From the roots of his hair to the tips of his shoes.

[@yaseenbradley9829]

Went to New York first and was already rich and famous. He left to be himself and not in the limelight.

[@alexlifeson44]

Saw this tour. Great show

Even without Curt, Roland made a couple of great albums. As great as this is, for my money the Happy Ending album is still their best in my opinion. Not one filler track.
