Just the fact that people your age can appreciate this song gives me hope…

They freaking killed that live! Honestly, I was kind of bummed you were doing a live version. And not just a live version, but one that was done 30 something years after they recorded it originally. I expected a version that was a shadow of the original. I was not expecting this. They knocked it way out of the park. They can still sing! What a brilliantly polished live act. That is such a great display of talent with undoubtedly many thousands of hours of polishing their craft and art.

The arrangement to this song is nothing short of phenomenal.

Her smile is the most contagious thing I’ve seen in awhile.

When this was a hit, there was nothing else on the radio that sounded anything like it.

Soundtrack to my teenage years... 1970's, all raging hormones, and we were all in denial. What a great time!

Big boys don't cry was recoded during the studio recording. Kathy Redfern was the secretary at the Strawberry Studios. She came out to tell Eric Stewart he had a phone call. They just asked her and she obliged.

Listen to the full version of the original song. It was a landmark in recording technique, and a hauntingly beautiful song. So full of sound yet so much space. Simply amazing.

These are one of the bands from the 70's that make me love this era! I grew up then but the music....brings back SO many memories! Paul Davis, Player, Dr. Hook..

This was dreampop from the late 70's... 40 years ahead of it's time. And I tend to think it still is 🤘🤘

_I remember when this came out, and I played the crap out of this. The '60s and 70s' was the best time to grow up; life was so different and carefree!_

I'm happy to say the UK has produced some of the greatest bands and music

Absolute classic song. All about how no matter how much a boy likes a girl he simply cannot bring himself to open up & admit it. 😄

I was dreading hearing the live version - I loved this when I was a little girl - but it's fantastic.

This wasn't the original singer,although he comes close. Eric Stewart gave a much better performance. This was No:1 in June 1975 and the original is still the best.

This takes me back to being a teenager. Loved this song at the time but because there was so much good music around in the 70's I didnt properly appreciate how good they truly were. Their harmonies and instrumentals are spot on. Thank you for taking me back to some very happy memories x

One hot summer’s day in 1974, I was sitting with my back against a tree in the Winter Gardens in Bournemouth. I was 17 years old, and waiting to catch a train to leave home and join The Household Cavalry. Leaning on the same tree next to me was a hippy kind of guy with a guitar, strumming some great chords,,, lots of cool key changes. We got talking, he introduced himself as Graham Gouldman, and I told him that I loved the sound that he was getting out of a simple acoustic guitar. He told me that he was working up a melody for a lyric that his friend had penned. I listened some more, then caught my train. The following year, I heard the finished article, I’m Not in Love storm up the charts. How lucky was I to experience the song in its conception, and what a memory. The name 10cc, by the way, had no sexual connotations... it simply came to Jonathan King in a dream. Boring eh! Loving your reactions,,, and your frequent smiles of wonderment melt my old hippy heart. Love from the UK. X

You have good musical taste! 10cc was one of the best groups around in the 70's. Everything they did was cutting edge and such a tremendous group. They never seemed to get the recognition they deserved in the States tho. I'm glad you have discovered just how great they are. I share your viewpoints on all your reactions. I'm a subscriber now. Good for you. Keep it up!

Wow I never thought a live version of this song would be so good...I was totally floored by this. Ty so much for this!

Loved this live performance of an old favorite. Dude is in serious denial, and I always crack up about that picture of her that he won't give back! Great reaction!

Great reaction!!. The most impressive fact, is that they performed this tune almost 99% as it was on the original recording back in 1975. Great song by great artists, no doubt about it. Finest 70's british talent, ever.

your smile sucked me in and your amazing personality is gonna keep me right here

HUGE props for the two great live performances!!! The great 10cc about forty-five years after the song first came out, and the awesome reaction from everyone's favorite Rogue!! Phenomenal job, as always!! A few minutes on your channel always puts a smile on my face, no matter how bad the day may be going!! Keep on doing what you are doing, and never stop!! Remember - Big Boys Don't Cry!!

10 CC were a GREAT band! This is such a good song! Big hit for them! Love it! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

I love watching her react. So much feeling and emotion. And so adorable

It's amazing what they were able to do with the tracks with the technology in 1975.

Indeed. One of the Best songs ever!. I woke up this morning with this song on my mind. I am 68 and it sounds better that some of the trash out today. I have hears it 5 times. 2 by different reviewers. It Was greatly appreciated by both. Yeah this song still has a place

I was there in Swansea, it was a fantastic night, first part of the show featured Graham's acoustic session. Seen them on numerous occasions, most memorable was Cardiff 1993, where Eric was on fantastic form and very humorous!!!

This song was a hit in the 70's, but they sound just as good in this video years later. On the original song, all the background music was their own voices meshed together. One of my favorite songs of all time!

What is amazing about this performance is how close it is to the studio recording. Except for a few things here and there you would swear they were lip-syncing to it. His voice still sounds great after all these years.

OMG! My knees just gave out! This song remindsme of my first crush in the 70s. ,😎

this was a red hot summer in London 1976 in my early 20s takes me back to those heady days of the 70s

You really need to hear the original version. There is a live version that was incredible. Eric Stewart was the heart and soul of 10cc. His vocals will make you melt and his subtle gestures show his stage presence. Peace to you lovely lady!

Love your reaction and the pure written on your face and smile to this brilliant live version. I can remember slow dancing at the end of parties to this when I was a teenager. Happy memories.

Of all the songs that have ever moved me, I think this one is the ONE. The writers/composers so perfectly captured a such feeling of bittersweet. This song makes me cry tears of sadness and joy at the same time.

Over 30 years after, they are still as great in music and harmonies!!! Love your reaction to!!!!

Graham Gouldman the guy in the middle on Bass is the original 10cc member in this line up..........Excellent performance! Should check out the original 10cc with Eric Stewart singing

Girl. This was and remains my favorite song. It broke my heart in the 80s and it reminds me of the girl I left behind. Thank you for reacting to it. It's was just a silly phase I was going through.., 😎

I appreciate that you're appreciating this clean and pure music❤

Heard this many times back in the day. But never heard a live version. They killed it for sure. Also, you have quickly gone to the top of my favorite reactor list for so many different reasons. Keep doing what your doing. More Leo please

Transported me back to the 70’s in London. So glad you can appreciate and share what we felt listening in our time.

Welcome aboard, youngster! One the beautiful songs from my youth.

i love this song, since i was a child. in germany it was in a film. i've never forgot this music and since that time, up to now i love it , there is no end 😍🥰

he's whistling past the graveyard, he knows he done, lol.

Damn! I listened to this song about 1,000 times, then actually proposed to my wife. That was in 1986...still there.

Lovely song. This vocals arrangement and the eletric piano/strings are so amazing

This song brings out an intense nostalgia in me. I can not explain it.

Skid Row "18 to life"

This Classic has dragged me out of many many dark moods! And Thank You for showing this music/song/group respect. Loving your channel and Cheer's Gorgeous 🇬🇧

I always love song.. I've never seen a performance of this past the 1970s so this was fun!!! These guys aged pretty well.

I grew up with this song. I call it the song of denial.

This concert was nearly 30 years after the original release! The boys still have it! 😲

Rhodes keys is the sound of the 70s. Love it. The most mellow sound Rick bass ever. Usually it's more like the Chris Squire sound.

I'm amazed at how you FEEL the music no matter what genre it is. You make me see the songs I thought I knew in a whole new light. Thank you

I was eight years old when this came out... my mom was 24 years old it's amazing how music from this genre stays with you throughout your life especially exposed to it at a early age,... growing up in the 70s and 80s where's some of the best times for music

This incredibly diverse Band split into 2 pairs: 1/ Godley and Creme 2/ Stewart and Gouldman but I think only Graham Gouldman is here in the middle. Stewart spent three weeks recording Gouldman, Godley, and Creme singing "ahhh" 16 times for each note of the chromatic scale, creating a 'choir' of 48 voices for each note.Creme suggested they could keep the voices going for an infinite time by using tape loops. Stewart created 12 ft long loops by feeding them at one end through the tape heads of the stereo recorder, and at the other end through a capstan roller fixed to the top of a microphone stand.. YOU MUST HEAR THE STUDIO VERSION RR :)

Beautiful, beautiful song! A real classic 😊 fabulous band!

They also had a great hit titled "The Things We Do For Love."

I first heard this song on the bus to day camp in the summer of 1976.

It still amazes me that young people like you are really starting to appreciate music like this. I don't know if it means you like the sound of it better than what is played today, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

10cc had so many great songs that you should explore. For me their biggest strength was their lyrics.

That's right girl, it's a throw back from the Era when talent WAS EVERYWHERE!!! I am soooooo Lucky I grew up in the 70s.really like your Chanel.keep doing what you're doin'

For a whole different 10cc vibe, check out "Dreadlock Holiday".

I love your reaction, your energy, your style. I just subscribed and now I'm on my 3rd reaction video of you lol

That song is incredible ! 10cc is a great band !

So nice to see yer reactions dear...Ty

The live performance was closely faithful to the record.

What a beautiful, charismatic, intelligent lady, she deserves a TV career.

With my earphones on and my eyes closed it sounded just like the studio version. Class act.

WOW! They freakin crushed that...great reaction!

This song takes me back every time I hear it to a time when I was hurting to love and didn’t know really how to react to it,great song!

Oh wow! Haven’t heard this in years. Always loved it. Thank you again Rxyce!!! 😊🌹

This song actually changed the music production world back in 75! Those vocals you hear in the back is a synth trick they developed back there where the lead singer guy (don't know his name) recorded himself doing every note and programming it to the mixing table (it took him two weeks to do that), so this song is whole experimentation and the original version features almost exclusively his voice trick. The lyric is a joke to his wife that used to say he never said he loves her, a "love you" denial haha.

From my high school years back in the 70’s! I really enjoy you and other young people listening to these old tunes👍

One has to be used to UK sense of humour to appreciate some of their songs. This one is universal.

I have danced so many times to this song. I love your enthusiasm and love of the music.

This is the sound of flowing red wine being performed by a group of artists who have each achieved Master status. A dying breed of musicians who create music instead of just sounds.

I was a kid growing up in the 70's the music was great. listened to a lot of radio there were really only the 3 networks to watch on tv so music was more my thing.. I love watching you react to this music your smile just lights up my computer screen.. such a beautiful lady.. makes me wish i was 30 years younger ..

The singer is Mick Wilson. He is an amazing singer. I loved watching you enjoy it, I love this song, too.

Chills. Damn...how good is this performance?

I love this song!!! So universal, and so much color!

I love the album version.. but live they're amazing musicians an humans .... 70's was a wild time an music is what helped me to survive.... Girl .... 1st time subbing!!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️ Yes live.. but even in the original they've layered their voices to get that ethereal sound .... They can harmonize baby... Remember they didn't use what ppl do now... These musicians are real that's why this time was special. If you made radio it's because you had chopps(vocal prowis).... Talent... Love seeing you digging it an yeah ... You bring me joy✌🏻💗😊❣️

The joy that's on your face is priceless.

High School. Remember this one well.

He's NOT in love? The girl , the song was written for,is still his wife!!!

The singer is Rick Fenn, who has been with the band since 1976. He's a superb singer and guitarist, and does the original full justice here.

I love watching your reviews. So cute!

Please play Aerosmith's "Dream On" PMJ cover featuring Morgan James-Morgan's vocals will completely blow your mind !!-Tom

I was in my 20s when this came out I just got out of the Navy and I met a girl who I liked but I was still processing getting out of the service and Vietnam love was hard to feel, I felt more alone in a world I didn't understand so we parted, but this song really spoke to me

Memory Lane great song 🎵👌

I recall 10cc had to do with a syringe of 10cc of what ever turned you on. But I'm sure it has changed into today's social correctness so it doesn't give bad ideas to youth. My self being a percussionist I would say the musician playing the Rumba Shaker/ Maraca, is a percussionist at this point. But as well he is the drummer. For some reason this song reminded me of. Give a reaction to, or give it a listen. If you haven't heard it. "SWEET" BY band " Cigarette After Sex " Beautiful voice with a transcendent quality, In much of their music. Great reaction.

I am 62yrs and i have been so blessed to hear the range of music growing up.🥰🥰🥰

Live every instrument has a soul

"Things we do for love" or "dreadlock holiday" are great too

The studio version is a master piece but your reaction pays tribute to the actual song. Thank you!

"Dreadlock Holiday" from 10cc is Reggae Song you will love it

You can really appreciate this 👍🏻❤️

I have previously put this 10cc on my favorite list, but your comments have made this group 20cc

I love this song. A great flashback from my high school days. Great memories !!! You should watch this song when they're in the studio recording. Of course, they much younger.

They said so much in this simple song.
