Watching ERASURE Music Videos For The FIRST TIME!

[@bethwatson1338]

Your reaction really made me smile! I've been a fan of Erasure since I was a teenager and finally got to see them live in London a couple of weeks ago at the end of their Neon Tour. All of these songs were on the set list. Everyone singing along. Two hours of pure joy. They'll be touring the US at the start of next year.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

I hope I'm able to see them one day! Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@hazellee8338]

Me too, they brilliant weren’t they? Such a fun night xx

[@paulthornhill6529]

Been a fan of Erasure since I was 18,now 54. Still love them.

[@jasonnelson9707]

I can still remember Sometimes playing on MTV and stopping what I was doing and just watching in amazement. Sometimes was the first love song I had ever heard that was speaking to me as a closeted gay teen. It made everything seem okay for a moment. The Wild tour in 1988 was one of my first concerts ever. I drove to Chicago in my beat up Monte Carlo and danced with thousand of other sweaty teens as Andy came On Stage in backless chaps with an Astronauts helmet on and glitter confetti falling from the ceiling. I still have my poster from that show. They were and are simply magical live.

[@highheartwellness]

that's an awesome story - thanks for sharing

[@coffeemachtspass]

You’re right. Erasure are the masters of gorgeous melodies. I am a massive heavy metal fan, but have a real soft spot for this group. Perfect singalong music for road trips.

[@RichSouthend]

So happy you've got round to doing some more Erasure reactions - thank you :)

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

More to come! Thank you for watching!

[@nicolaadens2443]

I was lucky enough to see them last month in concert. Even after all these years they sounded amazing. They had the crown on their feet jumping for joy. Loved every bit of it. The neon tour

[@Sarek_is_King]

Thanks for doing more Erasure, especially Chorus! 👍👍

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@adnap]

I SO Love Erasure and just about everything they do. They were certainly special, and definitely brought the good vibes home.

[@mr.harrison817]

Chorus is one of my favourite Erasure tracks. Love your videos and positivity. x

[@mr.harrison817]

I’d love to see you react to Breath of Life and Always by Erasure too. ❤️

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!!

[@CarlitosDJmx]

one of the most AMAZING but underrated music dúos …

[@erikaschwab1372]

O'lamour is my absolute favorite. Let me tell you, way back in the 90s when I was a young woman, they played at a festival in Chicago. I had lawn seats and the area was a little hilly, so the venue had 20' x20' concrete slabs at the bottom of each hill. Erasure came on and each of those slabs became an impromptu dance floor. I had the BEST time dancing with strangers. Everyone was so happy. I've been countless concerts at this point, but that one is always in my top 5. The sheer joy in that place has yet to be beaten by any other show I've seen

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

That sounds like fun to me! Thank you so much for watching and sharing that lovely memory. 😊

[@spud8284]

Erasure are just pure pop perfection. I sorely miss this style of pop so dramatic, energetic, unexpected and just joyous. I loved how subtle yet unapologetic they were, for pop songs they sure had some stuff to say lyrically that can be easily missed because it's wrapped up in a pop sound. It's groups like Erasure that I tell people about when they diss pop music. Pop music is always fabulous and fun but can also have many more layers and thought put into it than some people like to give it credit for.

[@paulmason6474]

Lovely to see you again this brings me back to my youth ( give or take 15 years). Keep on reacting we need YOU!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you! Will do!

[@kimberlyfoust2815]

I've been a huge fan of this band since high school (30+ years!). I am so excited to be finally seeing them live for the first time next year!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Congratulations!! That's awesome!

[@sakuraglenn]

Love this 4 video format. Aha next. For an interesting overview I'd go : Cry Wolf I Call Your Name Summer Moved On Lifelines

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching, and for the suggestions!

[@andrewlewis5266]

Love you that you watch multiple videos,it gives you so much more of a taste of the artists music 👌🏻

[@miaschu8175]

I can imagine Alison Moyet singing Oh L'Amour - that one is so like Yazoo's music. Vince Clark is a talented songwriter and musician, so no wonder that he teamed up with such talented singers.

[@stevemisog]

Interesting thought. I can hear Alison Moyet singing it in my head. I love Yazoo, Upstairs At Eric's is one of my all time favourite albums. Maybe that is why Oh L'amour is my favourite Erasure song, I hadn't thought of that.

[@chrisgibson7591]

Erasure Voulez Vous Love Rage Vision Mix you'll love it

[@coachtomas]

Yes... I am browsing through your old videos dear PancakeMarshmallowDude. I love Erasure so much. Memories of seeing them live back in the early 90s... ahh. They were really a big deal if you grew up in the 80s and 90s and weren't really sure of who you were yet. Andy being Andy just amazing vocals and completely free about himself. I also love how Vince evolved after leaving Depeche Mode. First Yazoo then Erasure, but always perfect pop music.

[@donna2119]

Well where do you start with Erasure live the one with Oh L'amour was live at the seaside, The Swan, the Tank and the Balloon is a must and The Wild Party. You'll have hours of fun watching these. Still great today saw them live a couple of weeks ago awesome live. Thanks for your reaction video. Loved it

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@mharris7380]

The Tank, The Swan and The Balloon for live performances, it's in my opinion their best live concert.

[@itsWatty]

Great song choices for this video. If you want to see Erasure live then check out the entirety of The Tank, The Swan and The Balloon concert from 1992 which is the first concert I ever went to and one of the best things I've ever seen.

[@djbbass801]

I second this. You will absolutely love EVERYTHING in the Tank, swan and balloon!

[@LouisBack]

I recall UK duo Dollar recorded " Oh L' Amour" in late Dec 87 played in the clubs. The Extra beat boys version was huge. x

[@chrislc35]

damn, was hoping for their song "blue savannah" . but maybe next time, they had a lot of hits.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

I’ve already reacted to Blue Savannah 😊

[@chrislc35]

@@PancakeMarshmallowDude oh yea, and i have seen it. sorry 😳😁

[@keithrudd8003]

Seen erasure over 30 times, last time was one of their best at the utilita arena Birmingham, in October … they still make a room bounce and rock … there are a few live vids on here from there last tour, but Andy having two hip replacements is not as mobile as he once was .

[@bderek85]

Nice you are enjoying these songs now.. I grow up on Erasure, Depeche Mode, New Order and life is so exciting knowing a new single by those bands and ran to record shop to buy them on 12" vinyl or cd singles... I wont change nothing for that simple life back in 80s-90s...

[@andymann1667]

Sometimes is my favorite song and video from erasure it's a great song and the the duo were just beautiful in the video.

[@jkmaseruman]

Soft Cell next please! 'Torch', 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye', 'Bedsitter' and 'Tainted Love' are great places to start. 'Tainted Love' spent 43 weeks in the US chart.

[@Flo-mh3pz]

YESSSSSS...👍👍👍

[@trippmoore]

And Sex Dwarf.

[@nirmalsuki]

Andy Bell is a criminally under-rated vocalist.

[@trippmoore]

I don’t know how old you are but you must be young if you didn’t know that Andy and Vince are the King and King of dance pop. If you did you wouldn’t have kept being fooled by the melodic and ethereal intros to a tight 3 minutes synth-pop masterpiece. And that’s what almost all of their songs are. There’s a reason they had a compilation album is called ”Pop! The First 20 Hits”. Not only are hey staking claim that their music is the reference for the pop genre, but also that they new there would be more that 20 hits in their catalog. This comp came out in 1992 after their first 5 albums. Imagine having 20 certified chart topping hits in that time and that’s only counting the bit hit singles, they had other hits that were album cuts only and some that weren’t as high up the charts, but high enough that any band would consider them hits if they made them. They did go on to release another installment of the comp titled “Pop2! The Second 20 Hits”. And this was in an era when it wasn’t some studio producer programming the music and then having some kid with a good voice sing songs he didn’t write. Andy and Vince did it all, they are like the Jagger and Richards of 80 synth-pop. They didn’t get as much love in the states, even though they were popular, but in UK they were pretty big. Just get the first Pop! comp album you won’t regret it..

[@LouisBack]

Hi PMD, " Sometimes" was a big club track in 87 in the gay clubs UK. They pitched the speed up in the club slightly lol. x

[@hazellee8338]

I went to see these guys live in London two weeks ago for my friends birthday, they were awesome! Xx

[@zenweaver]

Great choice again! Chains of love was a song that was played in clubs when it was popular.It had some good remixes

[@heathernks8]

This is amazing! Erasure was randomly added to my "get ready" music today!!😃 Btw, Happy (Belated) BirthDay!🎂♏🎉

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!! 😊❤

[@nathanredfearn3081]

Love your reviews. If you want to do another 4 song Erasure compilation, then I would love to see you react to: Stop, Drama, You Surround Me & Fingers and Thumbs. Think you would love them all. If you wish to look at live performances then 'The Tank. The Swan & The Balloon' (Phantasmagorical Tour) will take some beating. You will see Andy's full range of dance moves!! Keep up the good work!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@kimberlyfoust2815]

OMG! You Surround Me!

[@luizgomesrn]

@@kimberlyfoust2815 😍 Love this song

[@catschorus4684]

You should try the live version of Voulez Vouz

[@rolybling]

Erasure always made good songs, always catchy with creative videos. I was lucky enough to meet Andy Bell many years ago at a club in Manchester, and he was a thoroughly decent guy, not starry in any way, we chatted pretty much all night and he never mentioned himself, Erasure or their music once, he was more interested in talking about other people's music. I definitely remember we had a long conversation about George Michael, GM's Too Funky video had just aired on Channel 4 that night and Andy was a big fan of George and particularly admired George's songwriting. I got a new respect for Andy and Erasure that night.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

That’s incredible! Thank you so much for watching and sharing that memory.

[@miaschu8175]

I played Sometimes on repeat, over and over. I can almost remember how it feels to be 18 again!

[@tammyhastings5761]

I have been a fan of Erasure since the 80's, Sometimes is my favorite song by them. Fun fact about this video, they were all set to start filming and it started to rain. They had to bring the instruments and props inside, they waited for awhile for the rain to stop but Andy said he liked the rain so he improvised with the sheets, that way the other stuff didn't get ruined.

[@shaunm3206]

I recommend Bjork : Joga (Later Archive) as a live performance. I'd be interested to hear what you think.

[@cosmin98684]

Depeche Mode - Photographic live in Hamburg 1984 is fantastic.

[@CabinzU]

I Love Erasure and Depeche Mode, my best Childhood. XD

[@gavinjohnson7725]

You defs need to see the live performances. The Tank, The Swan and The Balloon 🎈 has some outrageous costumes!! I'm going to see them on The Neon tour when it gets back to 🇬🇧 in May.

[@Shrykespeare]

Love love love Erasure. For 3 1/2 decades they've been pouring musical joy into my eardrums. If you do another cluster of songs, I recommend: "The Circus", "Stop!", "Breath of Life", "Don't Say You Love Me", and "Nerves of Steel" (released 2020 - lip synched by drag queens!). Andy Bell's voice is just amazing.

[@diegoalejandrorodriguez4296]

Erasure ,, lo mas grande de la vida !!!!

[@NateOlson]

I've seen them twice on SLC and have a ticket for February, hopefully

[@mariadelcarmenacosta5327]

Erasure are my faves because of Andy Bell ☺️☺️☺️❤️

[@donna2119]

The oh L'amour video had clips from their Circus tour titled Live at the seaside which I still have on VHS but all their gigs are brilliant. Saw them 3 times in October on the Neon Tour.

[@grover6662]

Erasure is the best music for dancing while broken hearted 💔

[@shawkorror]

I rank them up with ABBA for "dance your tragedy away" feelings. Beautiful people.

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

Chorus came out my senior year in high school. My girlfriend had shown me their music and i was a big fan of that synth pop style (New Order, Depeche Mode, etc), so i was instantly a big fan. Anyhow, i had a really good friend that was struggling with things in his life, and i played him Erasure & he was an instant fan. About a year later, he came out & told me that i helped him by introducing Erasure to him. The music gave him the courage he was searching for to make that step in his life :)

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching. 🙂

[@rebeccawilson9933]

I never got to see them in concert, but the have filmed several which I watched here on KZbin. I think the tour was The Swan, The Tank, and the...I forgot, don't even know if the order is correct, but that was amazing. I live to sing these in the car very loudly. Edit: I am fairly certain you know Vince Clarke was behind a few of the New Wave bands. Depeche Mode he did the first album, he was behind Yaz/Yazoo, I think more but forget them, he is a musical genius. Something else super fun is their covers of ABBA songs, and the videos for those are amazing.

[@redsmoker37]

Wow, my high school years here. Chains of Love is prob their most "famous" song.

[@kimberlyfoust2815]

Same here!

[@paulhendy9901]

Vince Clark is electronic music genius for sure, was great to hear Chorus again I forgot how fantastic that track actually sounds. Maybe you could do some Yazoo Situation is a banger 😎👍

[@sarablack2547]

When someone reacts to erasure I always think sometimes is the one they'll react to first! I'm glad you got round to it.the second video with the beach in that blue effect is the same effect that was on David Bowie's ashes to ashes song which is brill and you should react to! It came out before this and he was also on a beach I wonder if it was the same beach? And if it had the same creators?

[@theshop62]

Andy Bell is the best, I remember Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode after making I just can’t get enough and formed Erasure with Andy Bell like I said Depeche Mode and Erasure the best

[@rouguy1972]

❤️ them

[@Noblemand]

ANdy Bell and Vince Clark is a match made in heaven. After VInce CLark left Depeche Mode it ended up with 2 great acts and i do genuinly believe Depeche Mode wouldnt have reached the popularity they got if Clark hadn´t left

[@tinkler4]

I remember my nephew when he was 6, use to say to me…’Can you play that song where the birds fly away and the fish in the sea?’ Yep the chorus was stuck in his head. 😂 He’s 30 now lol. Awesome reaction.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

That's awesome, haha. 😂 Thank you for watching!!

[@josephthomas3912]

CHAINS OF LOVE was a HUGE club hit thanks to a great remix by Shep Pettibone (the definitive version of the song). Thanks for the Erasure. I hope you plan on doing likewise for The Pet Shop Boys.

[@tomaswallmur7616]

Nice sign of ” I just cant get enough” which is another Vince Clarke song that he wrote when he was part of Depeche Mode.

Hi, Im glad U enjoy my favourite band ever... Ive been a fan since 1987 and Erasure is the soundtrack of my life. I recommend U to watch Wild Tour... that was my first concert ever in Argentina my home country... currently I live in USA... and I have been to their concerts more than 15 times... love Erasure. Check out their new album THE NEON, Also check Erasure the album from 1995.... u can always contact me and I can recommend more songs and videos.

[@adnap]

I think Chains of Love Oh Lamour and Respect are my favorites. Chorus is definitely up there. I’m guessing you already checked out Respect. I’ll have to do some hunting.. 🤣 @ “He’s Occasionally not wearing pants.”

Love the first track but the second track is my all time favorite & curiously you mentioned nothing about the lyrical content about this song which astounds me(I may be astounded too easily) and the last two tracks are pretty standard Erasure songs.

If you want a good live Erasure - check out The Tank The Swan and The Balloon - this is a full 2 hr extravaganza recorded in 1992. Fully camp, fun and over the top. Even includes an ABBA sequence.

If you want to react to a live song, check out Siren Song by Erasure, at their The Tank, The Swan and The Balloon Live Concert.. I’m not a huge Erasure fan, but the song and the performance is Awesome!

With doing 4-song reactions, you should consider ABBA-esque. The 4-song EP of ABBA covers (of course there is Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight)), as well.
