Born in 1964, I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 80s! 40 years later, Midge Ure/Ultravox still rock. Thank you for the music!

Its hard to imagine what it must have been like back in the 80's when songs like this were first released and heard on the radio and of course, to watch the video on MTV. Being born in the earlier part of this wonderful decade, I just wasn't quite aware at the time of course. Love this version of this utterly brilliant song. You just get the impression, hugely talented people like Midge Are, have been overlooked by so many, for so long, its a shame his talents aren't celebrated a lot more, including the huge role he played in Band Aid and all that achieved and stood for.

Thanks for your thoughts. Music in the 80s for me was both exhilarating in terms of what this whole movement meant (New Romantics, Pop, Electronica) and educational (being from a different country, trying to desperately learn the language, so I can integrate and fit in) - I cherished these songs, their lyrics, every word was like gold to me. I literally learned English through these songs - playing such songs, over and over and over on my crap hi-fi unit, literally sustained my spirit to continue learning, educating myself and coming to love this country and integrating into British life and culture. Which is why I sometimes now despair at what our politicians have done to it - the disastrous decisions taken, over the past few decades, have turned it upside down. And while I'm not a native to these isles, I mourn the death of any traditions and long for a revival, just as I witnessed in the 80s, through these glorious songs!

@@thecloudtherapist What a great way to put it all into perspective. Looking back though, the culture and music from the decade that was the 80's, still stands up to the tests of time. As you've said, unfortunately the world is still a very dangerous, and probably even more divided place now though....Progress? I don't think so.

Mr Ure..respect!...you can still 'rock' this song despite your age; I can remember when I first saw/heard this [an influential album to me in my teens], exactly where I bought the 12@ album [still have it!], and am no 'Spring Chicken' myself!...so often performers age, and unfortunately with this their vocal abilities suffer/fade from grace, but this is not the case here...in fact I was looking for the date when this was performed, I really can't believe its so recent!

I love Ultravox and Midge since my teenage days. Now I´m 54 years old, singing many years in small bands in clubs and so on. BUT: I can hardly believe, that the voice is coming so clearly and "near" when he is so far away from the microphon with his mouth like in the refrain before the instrumental part. After the instrumental part, the voice is exaclty so clear and "near", but he is singing very near in the microphone ... Makes me thoughtful if the refrain is really live singing. In his age it is stunning, how he performs, no doubt...
