Tim Curry "Im Going Home" LIVE

[@georgewolynetz3874]

Fell down a Rocky Horror/Tim Curry rabbit hole the past few days and discovered this. An absolutey wonderful find. The screams at the beginning sent chills through me.Criminal that he never got a Tony for his stage work. Even more criminal he still doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.That needs to be addressed by the 50th anniversary of the movie.

[@Psychedelic_TimeTraveller86]

have you heard the richard obrian demo tapes?

[@lu.b.9425]

FYI to get a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame, he through his agent, has to file a request for it; then it's granted or not. Th eprocess takes a couple of months. Celebrities look often surprised in front of the cameras, but they mde themselves the request!

[@princestar4908]

"On the day" *LIKE A BILLION FANGIRLS SCREAM*

[@TomPirate1]

He should go on tour and not do anything. Just stand on stage for 2 hours and everybody just stares at him. I'd pay just to see that.

[@shor-tcut]

Yes, and even if he sings only that song.. would be enough...

[@mmariemmm]

Me too

[@jeaniee.6283]

I would have too

[@twd42]

That's probably all we could do now.

[@sandyblue4235]

Yes!!!!! Love this song and the way he sings it.

[@Iliekdeers]

2:27, he"s crying. " im going home", masterpiece, this song will always be rememberable. Tim Curry , you are always my greatest fan. Well done Tim ! Tim Curry he is so brave , lots of courage and very strong man.

Hard to believe this sensitive guy would go play a child eating clown 11 years later.

God bless the person who recorded this way back when ❤️ a time machine for us all who weren’t fortunate enough ❤️

[@cyndymosher2233]

I saw this live at the Roxy in around 1978 or so. He came to LA two years in a row for his two albums he put out. I was front row and touched his shoe, he was that close to me. Biggest thrill ever. We worshipped him!

that yanked 'em right outta my own eyes.

[@elisabetht8313]

Erin F That's my favorite part too! I can't tell if they're real tears, or if he's acting. Either way, he's a brilliant performer! One of the all-around best actors and singers of our time, in my opinion. It's a shame more people aren't aware of the depth of his talent.

[@Mira_Dunia]

Elisabeth Tabor I've come a long way when it comes to discovering Tim Curry. I first saw him in 'Annie' and his cameo in 'Home Alone 2'.

[@elisabetht8313]

Erin F Same here, sort of! I've known who he was since I was a kid and saw him in various movies like Clue, Legend and Home Alone 2, and later Rocky Horror Picture Show. I didn't fully appreciate his talent and versatility until last year, when I re-watched RHPS (I guess I appreciated it more as a grown woman than as a sheltered teen!). That started me on a mission to watch as many of his shows & movies as possible, listen to his songs, etc. He's just an outstanding actor and a brilliant human being in general.

[@thejimdoherty]

I saw Tim Curry in Chicago in 1978 at the Park West. At the time, I was in college, was addicted to midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, had made a student film about the followers who went to the film every week at midnight showings, LOVED his first solo rock LP, and got his autograph on several items at a Chicago record store appearance at Broadway Records. Tim Curry was doing two shows that night. I went to the early show with some friends. The ticket price? $7.50! (I still have the ticket stub to prove it.) It was a general admission show, but if you tipped the guy in the club a whopping $3.00, got you a table right by the stage. Man, those were the days. Anyway, Tim Curry came out, opening with an impassioned version of GIMME SOME LOVIN', and just held the crowd spellbound from moment one. I distinctly remember him wearing that same striped suit shown in this video. His performance was phenomenal, as was the performance of the band. I believe many of the same players that were on his solo LP READ MY LIPS were also also in the touring band. I'm pretty sure that Dick Wagner (lead guitar), Charles Collins (drums), and Michael Kamen (keyboards), were there. The show was TREMENDOUS. You must remember that Tim Curry was primarily an actor, not a rock singer, yet he had a GREAT rock voice, and through that combination of knowing how to interpret a lyric and then be able to give it life through a fantastically and believably emotional vocal performance was something to behold. I absolutely loved the show. I know that one of the Park West performances was taped, as it was shown on a TV screen behind Curry at the record-signing gig.a couple of days later. Could this be one of those Chicago performance? Who knows? At the end of the performance, the management announced that any of us could stay for the second performance about an hour later, if we all bought the minimum two drinks at that next performance. Apparently, Tim had come short of selling out both shows that night, and the management wanted to get as much money into the coffers as they could, by any means. Filled with the elation of the performance I'd just seen, I called several friends (from a pay phone in the lobby... anybody remember pay phones?) I told them them to get to Park West immediately and pay the $7.50 admission for the second show (and I'd pay for their drinks), or they would be really sorry about what they had missed. They all turned up and had a great time. There was a real bond between Tim Curry and the audience. They knew him as his character from ROCKY HORROR, yet really embraced this new rock persona. That persona was new to both him and the audience. Many times, he seemed so grateful and humbly appreciative that the audience accepted what he was trying to do with this new direction in his career. Then, a year or so later, he went on tour for his second album, FEARLESS. That was another great LP, featuring the masterpiece SOMETHING SHORT OF PARADISE. I saw him on that tour, too. He was a totally changed man. The rock-star ego thing seemed to have gone to his head. Whereas he used to have a welcoming presence to people who loved his ROCKY HORROR portrayal, at this concert he angrily tore up a ROCKY HORROR 8x10 that some fan had offered to him to sign.

[@georgeetboom7719]

What are all his albums???

[@adriannawelch7670]

I love "Something Short Of Paradise" it's bitter sweet and beautiful

[@Lovelybby24]

@@thevalkyrie8 He did grow a distaste for the show for awhile, there’s rumours that fans did something really inappropriate to him at some point and it made things worse, he was constantly asked about his sexuality and was expected to be an outrageous person which he wasn’t. I read a lot of quotes about it from him and he had a rough go with it. I would like to think the rock persona didn’t get to his head and he was just having a hard time and that’s why he tore the poster. Fans didn’t respect him the way they should have and he was sort of just thrust into the spotlight, he genuinely seems like a nice guy.

[@odinallfather7665]

Wow if you still have the movie you made about the followers of those who went to the film please upload it It will become of historic value

[@malloryknox6802]

@@Lovelybby24 what was the inappropriate thing they did?

[@7KVexus]

If it weren't for RHPS I wouldn't be alive! My folks met while performing a stage show in 1978. They met this man, got his auto and he was nice enough to let my dad take some pictures of him while signing. Very charming, humble guy from what they saw. Tim, if it weren't for all of you working on this my parents never would have met. And my mother says thank you for the pictures and signing her The Rock album.

[@stephanieellis1048]

God bless the human that captured this on video.

[@Kidsincorporatedfansclub]

Agreed

[@Kramppi4eva]

I'm speechless. 1:46 - 1:52

[@bewbeezy]

I just had a couple questions, because I'm auditioning for Frank in the fall. I was wondering if you were male or female? Or if you knew of female Franks?

[@Kramppi4eva]

Brooke Wisor I am male, at least on the outside ;) (I don't really know or care what sex my inside is ;*) But I certainly saw at least a couple females auditioning for Frank and have seen many versions on youtube with female casts as Frank! It really just depends on the directors and stuff, but I think it's totally plausible to have a female play Frank! ;) Here's to hoping you'll get the part!!! b

[@bewbeezy]

The Small Sun Thank you so much. I've definitely been practicing so hard for this role. I have a lot of time left to keep it up too. Cheers and thanks again! Don't dream it, be it!

Wow. This song gives me chills whenever I hear it!! 😎🔥

[@rosiesummer2711]

I love how he puts his heart into this song. :) It is beautiful, I bet he has sung this song countless times prior to this.

[@ss-gv1te]

Rosie Summer yes...cuz he had done countless performances of RHPS while it was running as an on-stage musical.

[@Ashleypalmer1991]

Even though he forgot the lyrics, I will say he sounds exactally the same here as he does in the movie. Which I find is very rare, he has an amazing voice!

[@stompy16]

He didn't forget the lyrics. The song was actually making him emotional and he was trying to keep his composure. Brilliant performance though

[@allkindsofcollecting]

@@stompy16 In the first verse, he sang one line too early

[@sandyblue4235]

[@jeaniee.6283]

I just cant say enough. I love rhps for that voice. I rewind this song over and over on the DVD, for this song, this voice.

he is so fucking cool. Love you Tim Curry

[@imagination4565]

Making me cry. He is so sweet that he messed up the lyrics! So sad and happy all at the same time; what a guy.

[@aleeshasurmon6502]

He may have messed one line up but it's really good of him to remember all the other lines after 4 years. Well done Tim your amazing!

This makes me cry...I'm born too much late...I wanted to see one of his concert...Hell I need this man so much!!! I love you Tim!!!!❤💋

[@Iliekdeers]

Im think this song makes Tim crying a lot. Of course, this song it makes you sad , lots of courage and emotional. 3:10 "I'm going home", ahhh! thats is so sweet of him and then he left , probably he"s going to crying , well thats a right , you deserve it Tim you are a happy man. Tim Curry =Frank Furter always stay a legend, forever.

[@morthellsing]

He didn't leave to go cry, he was just going home, duh!

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

you made so many folkes happy singing that song...your ambition was to sing..and you waited a long time to do it...and when you did it was sublime.....ecstasy.....

[@pandorazbox9659]

Tim Curry is the epitome of talent , charm and technical efficiency. Sublime.

[@streetfighterchallen]

He doesn't HATE it, he just doesn't want to be typecast as one character. It kills EVERY actor when they have a character they portrayed, then can't escape it. Tim Curry, Cheech Marin, Sean Connery, Richard O'Brien (Played Riff Raff in RHPS and wrote the original show) are all great actors, but have problems with their "alter egos". He actually once said in an interview that he had alot of fun while playing Frank for those 3 years (1973-1975).

[@raeray2235]

Crying eyes full of tears, heart filled with ABSOLUTE PLEASURE... sensual daydreams to treasure forever...

[@orange-gd4io]

At the end it was funny because he just said "Im going home" in a normal voice and everyone started cheering

[@kitcat8716]

2:27 don’t cry Tim! I love this performance

[@TECHNOIR]

The genius of Frankie is that Tim decided upon Jim Sharman's advice to ape a Belgravia, London /Kensington/ Chelsea) girl accent ' a gel' as it were, those types who are quite lovely, with good hearts and breeding, as rich as Croesus yet resoundingly, often charmingly dense.

[@chrisel4349]

Thank you for explaining. So the accent is an upper-class, not a working class one. I suppose the U.S. equivalent would be the “Valley Girl” accent.

[@nightburgers3670]

Just so beautiful. Him and the song 😜

Rocky Horror came out in 1975. That is what it said when I looked it up. Sorry.

[@AstraeaFae]

+Ssupermom12000 what? The description of the video says it was taken in 1979 which would be four years after the movie came out in 1975...

[@PhirePhlame]

Jess Fae - He originated the role in '73 on the London stage. I wonder if he continued in the stage production version after the film's release in '75?

[@AstraeaFae]

Oh true, true. How could I forget :P I was talking about the movie though, since when he was playing him on stage, he went through a few changes to become the movie Frank. :P

[@jmirizio]

72speedway he did the short lived Broadway run in 1975 but that was it after that

[@petercermak1910]

A great song to wrap up an amazing soundtrack. Probably the one that carries the most emotion, and Tim brings it!

[@garyhelsinger]

Is that Michael Kamen on piano? I saw Tim live in 1978 in the small theater they showed RHPS in Phila (TLA) on the Read My Lips Tour. Saw him again in 79 when he came back on tour in a larger theaters for Fearless. Sad that a stroke in 2012 left him so debilitated, but he was and will always be one of my all time faves. Tim...you do the rock!!

[@jawnstuff]

+Gary Helsinger those shows in Philly were awesome. He sang this song sitting on the edge of the stage at the TLA. The next tour in 79 was so hot! Tim had his hair grown out again and the band was incredible. Loved Richard Wagner's guitar...and the sax work was awesome. Wished he'd continued to record music...

[@garyhelsinger]

+jawnstuff Me too! I have all 3 albums on vinyl, but no player now. I wish they'd digitize those so I could hear all the songs not included on the Best of CD. I do remember him sitting on the stage while singing I'm Going Home at the TLA! Was that the night someone threw computer punch cards that said "Sorrow" and "Pain" on them or was that just a showing of the movie one night? In '79 the show was at the Schubert Theater, right?

[@jawnstuff]

Yeah...I picked up a couple of those punch cards and put them in my "rock memorabilia" collection. And yes, that second show was at the Schubert! I took lots of concert photos back then...I'll need to dig out the archives one of these days!
