Cruel World Music Festival 2023 Pasadena Highlights

[@patriciajohnson7658]

Love it eyes without a face ,one of my all time favorites ,billy idol was on my wall for years id go just to see him

[@dankeeling603]

Top class performance from Martin Fry and ABC 💯👏

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Great live music all round! Billy Idol still looks and sounds awesome. Can't beat a good quality live band!

[@rogerking8163]

What I noticed was most of the audience were watching the acts, chilling and dancing, not standing there filming it on their phones like a younger audience!

[@RichPeacocke]

At least one of the old boys was standing there filming :)

[@MartinHayesUK]

I was about 19 when most of these bands were in the charts. Happy days.

[@whu58]

Great to see Martin Fry from ABC + the other 80`s bands - wow what a festival........thanks Mac Master!

[@garywoolford3930]

Good polished set from ABC, thank you guys. And no madness haha 😂

[@normajeanangel]

Beautiful Beautiful Vapours "Turning Japanese, Jam Paul Weller, Thomson Twins"... Y'all in the right place!! FULL-JOY FEST!!❤😂

[@colinhardacre7707]

Great video. A cracking good line up of 1980's New Romantics and Alterative bands. I have a lot of those band's LP's on vinyl. A great day out with Martin. Worth it.

[@Yngvi_Barran]

Billy Idol! 😊

[@simonlove9178]

Cracking 80s concert vid,,Martin fry looks well out of A B C ,,they still got it ,,,squeeze also put a good performance on 🎵🎵

[@marcelogalvani5784]

Very good. Thank you guys. From Brazil.

[@darrenwells2277]

Got to admit.. ABC were brilliant. Sorry to hear it came to a short end. It seems like this is a festival with bands that I would appreciate more.

[@EvilSie]

As a 20 year veteran of UK festivals such as Leeds and Download I can't believe how...tame...Cruel World seemed to be. Next year mix it up and go to Burning Man festival. I can just see the Silver Fox being treated like a God 😂

[@colinblackshaw971]

We need to treasure all these 80s bands as won't go on forever, most are mid late 60s now, scary

[@gavlosmedia6323]

ABC sounded amazing He can still sing

[@jay-7368]

Can't beat the music from the 80s, and ABC sounded just as good like they did in the 80s 😁😁 Lee u need to cut down on your fish and chips and English breakfasts if you keep crashing after eating, u may need to change your diet my friend, I had to after finding out I've got liver disease 😫😫. Great vlog and 10/10 for bringing us back some great memories Lee. 👍👍👍

[@westcoast6325]

Brilliant job filming clips of all the old bands mate!! Man it’s crazy how much everyone is a getting so old. But I give them props for still doing these shows after all the drugs, parties and countless concerts over the years 👏 Billy looked definitely a lot slower than even 5 years ago. But he was a hardcore partier back in the day!! Thanks for bringing back a lot of awesome memories 👍

[@PaulCowcher]

Great vid you two. Leeds, Leeds, Leeds. Going down.

[@huwfoxhall547]

Another great vlog really enjoyed ABC and Billy Idol.Keep up with your great vlogs🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@femlin1994]

Awww, loved your vlog! I live in LA so I was able to go back and see Gary & Siouxsie on Sun. I also was painfully disappointed that Adam Ant cancelled. ABC has so many hits and they were surprisingly fantastic! My favorite from Sat was Love & Rockets (who played against Billy Idol), who delivered a super stellar set! I heard last year was insanely hot in weather. Anyway, thanks for the vlog!

[@johnjo7778]

ABC Lexicon of love is still one of my favourite albums. Coming from my home town of Sheffield as well! I bumped into Martin Fry in the mid 80's in Foto processing. I couldn't believe it when he spoke to me, he said "Shift!" 😂😂

[@yorki5208]

That looked like a great day with some of the groups we used to listen to have to agree ABC looked good 👍

[@Onthe.32]

Fantastic Lee old boy great 👍👍👍👍

[@nigel8499]

That's quite a line up👍 all they needed was Tears for Fears, Sade, Simple Minds and Duran Duran

[@nigel8499]

​@@elmerfudd6305 good call 👍

[@brody5211]

@@elmerfudd6305 they were there ready to come on by all accounts but weren’t happy with their pecking order and flew off in a rage

[@diggerthegroundhog8799]

Then it wouldn't be Cruel World. It would be Top 40 world.

[@steevobarker581]

Great video Lee. Just the right length. Really good shots of the event, and the music. Thank you. 👍👍

[@HarryDeano]

Noticed it more and more often now all these festivals popping up of all the old classic 70s/80s/90s bands, just shows you how shite todays music or lack off is, so glad i grew up in the 80s, nice one Lee

[@TommyRobertsMusicChannel]

A few years ago, I was feeling so tired and kept falling asleep. I also found out that I had high blood resure due to a health screening at work and was diagnosed after seeing doc for diabetes type 2. Maybe worth a look, so glad I was diagnosed and got it sorted

[@wormsnake1]

2 Brilliant!! 2 legends!! 🙏❤️🎸.x

[@stephendunne5676]

That' was brilliant,, you and the silver fox looked knackered at the end

[@davidwatwood6884]

Thanks for showing Richard Blade i grew up listening to Richard Blade on KROQ 106.7 back in the 80's and 90's 😉👍

[@mark120964]

Hi guys, thanks for sharing that. Hope you both enjoyed it. 😂❤

[@fishtigua]

As Noel Fielding once said on QI "There's nothing funnier than seeing old Goths at a Funfair".

[@AliSkarsgard]

Haha too right

[@ericsilberstein667]

Wish I was there.

[@AliSkarsgard]

@@ericsilberstein667 Same!

[@paulcole4902]

I find that the 80s music was the best the amount of singers and groups that come about then a lot of them are still performing now years later.. can't see that happening in the future with the singers and groups of today

[@AliSkarsgard]

@@paulcole4902 well said ! you’re absolutely spot on!

[@dlandis8146]

Billy Idol 👌

[@peteedwards5299]

A great trip down memory lane boys.

[@ashleyaltman2477]

Great video! Really been enjoying your latest set of videos of you out in America & back with Martin, who is always great to see in your videos!!

[@RickW..]

ABC bringing back memories of Clumber Park. Brilliant 👍👍

[@barrythemod]

I'm sooooooo glad that i grew up in the 60's and not the 80's.

[@ChrisLimey]

Love Martin being in these videos. Hes such a genuine all round nice guy.

[@markmills5451]

Bloody brilliant that was. (I have been drinking). One of your best! really brought back some memories:-)

[@TheMacMaster]

Thank you. 😎

[@andywright3450]

Hey lee brilliant vlog this .... I once saw abc in Sheffield years ago there were great band .... Great video thanks mate 😊😊

[@damo1659]

ABC fantastic band :)

[@nicolaharvey4830]

Love Billy idol and abc

[@gwenfrance1779]

That was good to watch ! Loved the music.

[@petesinclair8753]

Thank you Lee and Martin superb watch 👍

[@Nosdos]

What I would love to see is the Silver Fox coming over to uk and doing some stuff with the Mac

[@rbnhd1144]

I agree, Martin really is a great lad and plays well off Lee, I could see him falling back into that Yorkshire twang real fast, the English breakfasts would win him over, its got to happen at some point.

[@richt71]

Good to see a British idol in Billy Idol that was born close to where I live in London. BTW I was taught French by Ian McCulloch's ex-wife. As a 15 year old she was a fave of mine!

[@dCarey906]

Just fantastic.

[@gavlosmedia6323]

And the Bunnymen.....wow.....brilliant

[@Christinemacca]

Tears for Beers. Brilliant!! 😀

[@PAGEREFURBISHMENT]

This is like listening to absolute radio but live … bet this was awesome to actually be there

[@Eding4u]

Martin Fry, what a class act

[@simonlyons4511]

Great video some great band from way back 👍👍

[@junemccann5981]

Aww loved this Lee! All the old groups and songs. Was brilliant reminiscing to this. Looks like you both had a fab time. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx

[@Christinemacca]

Aw was looking forward to seeing Human League. ABC great as always ❤️. Hope you had fun 😌

[@keithdavies2644]

Great vid Lee loved to have gone to this brilliant line up and sounded really good Martin Fry and Glenn Tilbrook s voices still sound great Regards to the Silver fox another stellar performance 😃

[@robblack7560]

that looked and sounded great, those were the days when artists could sing and bands could play instruments

[@richardpattison5525]

Enjoyed the video done a great job. You work well together

[@telawsonartzy6880]

Now I'm really really jealous. Great vlog Lee 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

Seen ABC several times, absolutely awesome band! I hear Iggy Pop has a habit of getting his "American sausage" out on stage!

[@honestreview1043]

Excellent!

[@DrDaveW]

All these guys should get together to form a supergroup called “Hip Replacement”!

[@keithboddey]

It that concert was 10 miles from where I live. and it was £5 to get in, I would give it a miss.

[@tonywilliamson3532]

Steve Stevens is a beast of a guitarist, he's been the perfect foil to Idol over the years. Cheers fellas hope you had a blast!

[@TheMacMaster]

He was jaw dropping

[@diggerthegroundhog8799]

All the hits all the time

[@christinepickard7804]

ABC was great, atmosphere. Dancy tunes & vegan food always good,😄 thanks to you both.🥂🥤

[@derbyjohn972]

Cracking vlog Lee. Enjoy it mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@carlrushtonwillie]

You two argue so much youd think your married 😂😂 Your so funny 👍👍

[@alanthomson1227]

Modern day Hinge and Bracket

[@martinholroyd7605]

Echo & the Bunnymen...QUALITY saw them mid 80's St George's Hall in Bradford....

[@HAPYouTube]

Saw them in 1987 in San Francisco and they were amazing!

[@knightsorder]

ABC BAND NAILED IT....well worth spending 5,000 for a trip there

[@kevinlloyd1088]

Thanks for the show! Hopefully, someone dedicated a song to Andy Rourke. R.I.P.

[@kevinsmoother]

Wow! Looked awesome ! ABC sounded great

[@davidhurstfield3622]

Fantastic vlog Lee some great bands 😂🎉

[@blairoutproject]

So basically every band who couldn't get a summer season with Pontins UK was there....

[@markmangan845]

Great vid guys, abc were 👏 😊😎👍

[@Alan..W]

MacMaster that's been your best video yet, really enjoyed that, might even watch it again. Mad how the old groups are still touring ....

[@garethvaughan426]

Great vlog guys, yes saw ABC at the City Hall in Sheffield a couple of years ago, really top band👌

[@deborahdeaney9225]

Brilliant vlog Lee + Martin. Looked a good concert. 😂

[@jimhaddow9120]

Another brilliant video with the silver fox. You can tell this is one of your very best friends. Magical

[@darrenwilson8042]

Made me recall when Rik from the young ones wrote in protest to Echo and the Bunnymen - it started " Dear Mr Echo........ "

[@krysfox4686]

Found ya looking for sets we saw last year in prep for this year-- and it's wild how different the experience was! What a choose your adventure festivals are! We saw almost entirely different bands and im so glad we did! (And we came back sunday for Siouxsie, Iggy & Gary Numan) Our favorites of the day were Gang of Four and Love and Rockets! Both were mind meltingly good! This year we have Adam Ant for reals, Duran Duran, Jesus and Mary Chain, Interpol, Placebo, The Motels, The Faint, Ministry and what im most excited for--- TONES ON TAIL!

[@johnbowyer6902]

Yes, ABC was great sounding. Billy Idol was a bit disappointing as there was no 'white wedding'. Haha! Something different anyway. A great afternoon out. Thanks, Lee.😊

[@anderson-coletheresa4453]

❤❤❤❤Lee have a Margarita that settles the Tequila. SO awesome thanks for sharing with us. Come to San Diego sometime both. of you😊😊😊😊

[@murrays99]

Another adventure with 2 great friends, Martin is legendary.

[@scotttarplee9962]

Some old classics there lee i was singing away to abc lol dont get music like that nowadays

[@danielharvey1653]

This was such a fun video, loving the Silver Fox, hope you do more together.

[@Megavector2022]

I love the way some of the bands firmly believe they are playing some of the best rock songs ever written, not then, not now. lol. Fave clip was Echo & the Bunnymen, thanks for the upload 👍

[@helgabullabong]

Brilliant. I have been to Lets Rock in the UK. Its held annually at various places across the UK. Loads of brilliant 80s bands. Get Martin to fly over for it. Of course, can't guarantee the weather.

[@annahanguiano8931]

Human league sound as good as they did in the 80's.

[@karenbutcher6382]

Enjoyed abc and billy idol. Thought Gary Newman was going to be on to, so sad I didn't see him😢

[@joannehall170]

Brilliant vlog Lee .
