WATERBOYS - Rees-Haldern 030807 COMPLETE CONCERT !

I just liked this gig and wanted to share it...
If you like this recording, please buy official cds and dvds.

[@franciscomatos1781]

I am 22 years old and honestly listening to this kind of music makes me realize how poor is the music consumed by my generation...WOW THIS IS MUSIC in the true sense of the word, capable of elevating your mood, your spirit and your soul! Thank you for posting

[@destiniesentwined1368]

+francisco matos Great you discovered this then Francisco:-). You will have a deep well of the highest quality music to return to. Check out the latest album (Modern Blues).

[@govtmulestevo]

+francisco matos so glad to hear a young guy admit how poor the musical landscape of popular music these days is short on brilliant moving music. love that it was the waterboys that lead u to share what old guys like me need to hear. there is hope

[@no1copycat]

Hey, I'm turning 22 in a month! I have been listening to Mike Scott since I was 14 :D !

[@tywag]

I was around in the 80s and I can assure you that the Waterboys were not played on pop stations. The 80s had some great music, but if you listened to pop music of the 80s you would say the same thing back then. Likewise, there are some great music being made today. You just have to know where to look for it. Radio isn't the place.

[@Hannibu]

The Waterboys has never been a mainstream band. There is the "Chart crap" and there is real good music. Good and shitty Music has nothing to do with the decades. There has always been poor mainstream for the masses and good music for people who really know.

I first witnessed this extraordinary group in London '84 supporting U2 They were a revelation then and their songs and performances were brilliant. Needless to say, I have watched them as often as possible in the ensuing years and the.songs from their '80's lps are Still mind blowing Mike Scott is a genius lyricist and singer

[@josroedolf9283]

Ive seen them too as a support act for U2. They blew them of stage in my opinion...

[@CarlosPereiraAntunes]

​@josroedolf9283 84 I didn't heard about WB yet I saw them live twice in Portugal. I lived in Switzerland from 1988 and 1996, after Achtung Baby, in 1992 I drove with friends until Lausanne's football stadium two see U2 and it remains my best concert

[@nutrocker62]

the most wonderful live band. Keep on rockin boys. 2020 and hopin they come this way again soon

[@markwatkins8094]

Red Army Blues is the most emotional, incredible song ever written.

[@cathsalazar9930]

Really great gig killer indeed Mike Scott 4 ever!! Brilliant dude!!! ❤️👍😻🙏

[@andjkh]

Check out Roads To Moscow by Al Stewart. Those songs go great together.

[@joe-qy4mo]

@@andjkh you took the words out of my mouth. first thing i thought of when i heard that song...

[@solrrainbow]

The guy is a genius...saw him live last night...54 and still so cool, passionate and energetic!!

[@reidaroderth]

What a fantastic version of Red Army Blues, one of the best live performances I've heard

[@allen63b]

This is unbelieveable. Just when I think I've seen the best of them I discover this.

[@sarahpotter4008]

I couldn't believe my ears either. I feel you. Outstanding Performance!

[@frankmurphy4004]

Tell me if you would ever find any other band this talented and amazing live?? No massive cover ups just pure fricken talent!! From Australia 2020...Timeless and brilliant!!

[@Ja_wat]

Great music! They realy take you in to the song amazing

[@bohemianlinda]

Most fortunately for me I discovered this huge music here in Canada in 1984, the year of my sons birth and we twirled, leaped, roared and crooned together til I was ready to swoon!!! lol so lucky I was as we do not have a good audience for them here sadly

[@joe-qy4mo]

saw Mike at Massey Hall around that time. He was by himself unfortunately...

[@jesuswasntafascist]

Saw them at Tipitina's in New Orleans back in the day and was blown away with their talent. I really would like to see them again..

[@RidleyReport]

Holy God this is the second best 80s tune I think I've ever revisited... played it many times as a D.J. in Colorado in '86.

[@garytube1955]

Saw them way back when,at the Spectrum in Montreal 8 people on a small stage all playing multiple instruments ,for 2 hours they stood right up to the stage edges and played there hearts out that was one fantastic amazing concert 1000 people in the bar going crazy what a night to remember..... Quick to the wayback machine Sherman .

[@martinward5364]

God's music

[@RobWiebePhotography]

Wow! Thanks so much. This version of Pan Within is my favourite. Great music, great lyrics and such musicianship.

[@davea9142]

Totally agree, great version of Pan Within, it rocks!

[@allen63b]

Best I've seen of Medicine Bow too.

[@user-oh5kq4yl5m]

Simply Amazing

[@lucrese1]

I listened a lot to " The Levellers " and I thought I didn't know The Waterboys but I do! I remember I loved these songs ' This is the sea " etc...but I was a kid and I didn't pay attention to the name of the bands! I'm so happy to find this music I loved so much when I was a child! :-) !

[@kevbrownbill]

Finally getting to see them after 25years of promising to one day!!!! December 8th Liverpool if its half as good as this I will be more than happy!!!!! Mike Scott has got to be one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of his time!!!!

[@edpope120]

Mark Smith RIP. Laying down a solid bass line as ever. Superb set, thanks for uploading it.

[@martharoyce]

Hi, out of curiosity did you know Mark well while he was alive?

[@edpope120]

@@martharoyce alas no, never had the pleasure of meeting him.

[@peterbowles3460]

Great performance and a tight set of songs!

[@pablolopez855]

Amazing band, bring me back forgotten memories across the years. Perhaps one of the most incredibles music gifts... leave me in peace with the world. It´s beautiful to be alive

[@johnmcintosh5413]

Great post much appreciated as I had somehow not tuned into them for a while wow got blown away again by this performance 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌🏼

[@truwth]

Thanks for this! I love how Mike's vocals are so clear and solid ... really highlights how fantastic his lyrics and melodies work together. And the band is razor sharp. I really needed this to clear my head after foolishly watching the VMA's (the Video "so-called" Music Awards).

[@kaij.8100]

Gosh, I was at that festival and never forgot how amazing this concert was. It is fantastic seeing this and experiencing it once again. Thank you so much for uploading!

[@johnmcintosh5413]

Tho I wasn’t as fortunate to have been at this one It brought back memories for me of seeing them in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 on more that one occasion and they are always great live act 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌🏼

[@eugeubeda]

maravillosos, magicos, enormes , grandes WATERBOYS

[@garethmillard7005]

Aye , aye the Waterboys are in the house !! Magnificent

Gracias por compartirlo, impresionante concierto!!

[@janflokstra]

Thanks for this. First seen them in 1985 as support act of the simple minds. Should have been the other way around.

[@MatildeMatarredonaMartinez]

Me encantan, The Waterboys me acompañaron en mi juventud pues sus canciones sonaban en las discotecas de Valencia a las que acudía allá por los 80, y ahora me acompañan en la madurez con la misma ilusión de entonces.... grandes músicos, unen poesía y sonidos.... magistral....

[@cathsalazar9930]

Never came to Washington DC such an underrated band one of many that we never got to enjoy live!!! This is an absolute killer gig!! This is one of my favorite live gigs & bands! Thanks for sharing! Me he Scott what a genius!!!!!! His got a killer voice!!!!! 👍❤️😻🙏🔥

[@rogerdaly6326]

I've seen them at The Birchmere in Alexandria & at The State Theatre in Falls Church and i live in Richmond Va.

[@jankorski1870]

26:55 the whole of the moon, - and please turn on your bass - it´s fantastic

[@Strangewerks]

Thanks for uploading this. It's so great!

[@gogue7hd359]

Absolutely awesome!!

[@ronmiller9212]

When these guys hit the stage , it would have been the greatest show on earth at that moment .

[@nicbing2598]

YET another highly underrated " BRILLIANT " band that emerged in a time of unprecenedated immaculence ... it all evolved through poetical Words sharing music like a blind person allows their dog to decide the direction ..... the Waterboys ...where always " BIG MUSIC " ................................................. !

[@SkipWay]

thanks for sharing. Mike Scott is a mystical, visionary musician

[@MrPaulEbbs]

Best. Band. On the face of Planet Earth. No contest. I saw them last year in London and it was the best I'd seen them in 25 years. They keep getting better and better. Anybody seeing them for the first time in Australia on this tour is in for an amazing experience.

[@ankasail]

I grew up in South Africa and in the early 80's there was a radio dj called Chris Prior who played the Waterboys regularly. They got a lot of airtime and developed quite a cult following there. I was just one of the teenagers back then who fell in love with their music and they have remained my favorite band ever since. And I am happy to say that I will be seeing them live in Germany in November!

[@mikeallen2097]

Thank you so much for this posting. Never had a chance to see them in concert. But thanks to this and others videos i have to chance to watch and listen to them over their years. One of the best bands, their powerful lyrics and their love of music i've seen in a long time. Much appreciated!

[@san_droid]

feb 2023... wow!

[@slj1111]

this is absolutely fabulous THANK YOU! My favourite band since 1984. Every concert is a treasure :)

[@jonnordstrom8997]

Never heard The man with the wind at his heals before! Lovely version this❤️

[@VicWildfire]

Saw them a few times in 1985 and again in 2019. Never lost a love for their music though :)

[@brookeshapiro2765]

Thank for uploading, I have loved them since I was 12 and I am now 33, and finally getting to see them after all this time on Thursday, I am in awe and so excited.

[@moorkeith]

AMAZING SHOW!!! Thanks for sharing this.

[@izabelagmerek5640]

This music and artists are timeless ,love them big big bravo gentelmen

[@michaeloneill1763]

Thank you for posting this. This is a gem. Mythical, mystical poetry and some killer rock and roll!

[@garyrutland1119]

Thanks for posting, good sound quality too. Saw them in 1984 supporting U2 and have been a committed fan ever since but haven't been able to catch them live again so this is a treat.

[@karenvarian1174]

I have loved this band since Fisherman's Blues album. They are so talented and under-rated. Thanks for sharing this. I think they are even better live. And Steve Wickham on fiddle. Otherworldly.

[@lesterpaul9657]

Anybody here to listen in 2020? I' m not gay but I love Mike Scott. Had the opportunity for a nice talk with him in the late 80's. Waterboys supported the Pretenders. He liked to learn some german words because he was interested in german language. We laughed a lot because he spoke out the words with a nice scots accent. I' m glad he is still with us in good shape because he used to be a heavy boozer. Fishermans blues and Room to roam are still favorite records to me. Greetings to all Scots and Irish folks in here from germany. Love you.

[@andrejslezdins4739]

Waterboys & Pretenders - BRILLIANT & SUBLIMONIAL bands in modern music history...!!!

[@dsimarrov]

Thank you. Best way to end the year.

[@dgpenumbra]

What a fabulous band-this is what music is sposed to be all about!

[@alejandrom.l.1214]

Dentro de que sé es una opinión muy personal, para mí el mejor grupo de musica que jamas he tenido el placer de escuchar. Desde los 16 años y tengo 43 enganchados a ellos..

[@edortapacubos1779]

Tengo vinilos suyos y hace poco me reencontré. No con ellos, sino conmigo(no pretendo ponerme denso) Gran banda. Otros tiempos. Tengo 53 y ahora suenan igual de putísima madre que cuando era un niño. Suerte haberlos conocido

[@ELRaskonino]

Thanks so much! First time hearing, "Song of Glastonbury." I'm so appreciative. I've been a fan for decades of this wonderful bunch...

[@frankiejones1819]

Great gig. Just discovered it. Band are realky enjoying playing together. Cowboy hat must be at home. Thanks for posting.

[@yellowroses5992]

God Bless You...awesome the whole group..but especially Mike and Steve..waouuuuuuuuuuuuuu.Saw them live in New York and they were fantastic..

[@michellemealey2569]

Thanks for posting ,, so underrated amazing band

[@destiniesentwined1368]

Thankyou for sharing this!! Lovely! Just saw them twice on the latest tour (Modern Blues), which along with the recent album is fantastic!! Incredibly addictive! Two hours of massively ecclectic, electric (not just in technical sense :)), and explosive rock of the highest qality. Mike and the Waterboys as good as ever, with a great line-up of musicians! Gives me such joy!

[@buckkarma176]

Loved them since 1984 but especially love the Richard Naif years.

Great sound & camerawork.

[@mirrortime]

One of THEE greatest shows on earth, ever! And... for some reason, I always connected "The Whole Of The Moon" to John Lennon.

[@juanoscarrios4572]

You are right ,me too. Maybe for the good letters and good music. John Lennon the Beatle number one.

Great God Almighty!!! Fabulous!! Thanks for posting this incredible concert!! Heading for New Orleans tomorrow night... Waterboys are at Tipitina's!!!. Hallowed Ground as anyone who knows our history down here...Professor Longhair, Booker, Meters, Cliftion, Snooks, on and on and on. And I'll second that comment on the Glastonbury. Song....yes i have been there... going back one fine day....heap big magic, Fireboy!

[@pmarty59]

God what I would have done to have seem the boys at Tipitinas. I'm sure it was fantastic. Saw them in Dallas in late 80s at the Arcadia. Hardly anyone there but man did they blow the roof off the place. How was it?

[@aldocoffee]

Great show, been a fan since early 80s, never saw this show before. The olf stuff in 2nd half of show has a much power as it did back with Anto & Karl. Smart of Scott to change the lyrics on Red Army Blues from "Germans" to "Nazis" given the venue.

[@Alles260955]

The Waterboys made a legendary album with "This Is The Sea"'. This album should be in the collection of everybody who likes music played with passion. This concert is a proof how great this band (or should I say Mike Scott) is.

[@frankmurphy4004]

Recently just brought This is the Sea after hearing it in the 80's through my parents...Now 2020 it blows me away!! Whose this talented and the band??

[@Mike_B_724]

How I wish I could find a dvd of this show

[@seedyjay14]

I just bought a ticket for their Melbourne show in Jan 2013. What a great start to the year. Aus open tennis and a Waterboys concert!

[@MrJudge51]

Thhx 4 posting.. i bought the DVD..:-)

[@user-yw9of9er6r]

music and poetry in high level!!

[@Zebradeen]

Might've said this before, but THANK YOU so much for posting this.Recently lost all my stuff off my computer,(TRAGEDY!) so it is great to be able to get this again!Just need to find the remaining 25+ years now!!!) This is one of the best though.The gang all look sartorially fantastic, and they sound great.Not 1986 raw and gutsy,admittedly.But hey! I am same age as Scotty and can't sing for toffee!(Haha that rhymes!) And he is in better voice here than ever.Thanks again!

[@dsimarrov]

And best way to start the year ;)
