Talk Talk with the late great Mark Hollis on vocals. A giant among men in every sense - he took no s**t from the record industry, eventually refusing to bow to their demands - he quit the business entirely in 1998, to spend time with his wife and children. He sadly passed away in 2019 aged 64 after a short illness. A very sad day for me, he was a man who stuck to his principles - a very rare thing in the rock music world. RIP Mark - you are sadly missed by a great many whose path you crossed.

One of the best songs of the eighties!! This live version is fantastic!!!

The heart of the 80s was called “Talk Talk.

Live at Montreaux 1986 it's Amazing.

You have to listen to the whole concert (it's on YT) Talk Talk live at Montreux. A phenomenal performance by one of the best bands not only of the 80s. Mark Hollis had a unique voice. RIP Mark.

Holy crap, is my mind being tricked? This almost sounds exactly like the studio version, quite remarkable. Great song, great band!

Mark . Ethereal. Melancholic. Beautiful. Unique.

MarkHollis ... what a beautiful soul..............................

I have a feeling we have a lot of similar aged people suggesting these songs. I love these video's, because it is one big trip through memory lane for me.

Music from my youth and it was and always be great. Thanks 👍

Such a beautiful voice 💛

Just the best music.

One of the most underrated bands...It's sad that Mark Hollies died to young RIP❤

Oh yes "life's what you make it & it's my life" classics from a decade if incredible bands like talk talk.

Loved it then and I love it now...thanks for bringing it back to me PaulF.

Brings back memories.

I went to see them on this tour with my brother at Manchester Apollo . I think it was 1986. Exact same show, same set list everything. I thought it was an excellent performance, perfectly on point, musically tight…. I loved it ! My brother (who was a fan) walked out half way through and waited for me in the pub next door until the end…. He thought they were boring, no interaction with the audience etc. “I might as well be listening to the cd at home” …. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Thank you ao.muxh for this. Talk talk were amazing. Mark hollis such an underatted singer. May he rest in peace

Oh yeah, back to the eighties! Love them. Living in another world, It's my LIFE, A dutch radio DJ Frits Spits once played Living in another world over and over for one hour on the radio. It was epic

That’s a song from the past I hadn’t heard it in a long while! Thanks to PaulF and you, HxC! Great hearing it again.

Just brilliant, one of the best bands of the 80s.

Love the 80's!!

Talktalk. An oldie for me... Very unique video......instrumental very good....especially acoustic piece.... It brings me back to times go out with friends to the disco.... Nice that you liked it....something else for your ears.... Thanxxx🙏👍❣🧜‍♀️

I love the 80s.....and talk talk thanks for this❤️

This concert is amazing! Such a talented band!

Great reaction to a genius performance👍🔥🎶 Thanks for feeling the music the way you do! If not for such delicate attention, why should such gems of music be born and share their masterpieces with the world?...

This is how playing live sounds like not the playback versions of today. That's why you were so surprised . They even played a spanish style in the end lol Great band and Hollis voice os unique! Played with feeling all the way. It was funny the "THANK YOU SIR" in the end lol

Good classic from the eighties!!! Oh my god i feel old 😂

Mark Hollis was more an artist than a singer. Talk Talk first EP tanked, but their first album went number 1 in Europe and US college radios. This song is based on "Diceman", a novel in which the protagonist lets its life determined to the roll of a die. Afterwards Hollis went the artrock way, blending tape loops, jazz jams and muttered vocals with a pinch of world music and literary references... Such a shame and It's my Life are their most known singles but everything they did afterwards was WAY interesting. Mark Hollis retreated from a successful career to focus as a painter and died too young... Really the best art rock band from the 80's...

This has been a long time and Talk Talk was in those days a super band and made many hits. Thanks for this upload , this needs to play in my car again..

I love your reactions. You crack me up every time & you're so dang cute too. (Don't worry, I'm old enough to be your mom). 🙂 This is one of my favorite bands and I really liked the first album. People are so afraid of 80" Pop" which is BS. Check out "Hate" Live, "Talk Talk" (The song) and "Today". The Drummer, Lee Harris, is my fav to watch on all the live shows. He's killin' it back there. That guitar player is playing like a flamenco player. It won't break strings.

Golden oldie!

So Paul F. You know I love the live version from " It's my life". Waiting 😂

I heard it tooooooo , the shifting of sound, song from my teens ❤️

Super song

Nothing beats the 80ies. NOTHING!!!!

Please Do TALK TALK's " It's My Life" (original version)!!! You'll love it!

hxc, you are right this is super muziek with a lot of layers.. the bass line is super too

Thanks for letting me know about the dice symbolism on the studio version video. Forty years is better than never... yep, I'm an old schmuck! It's funny you're saying you're in another world because they also made a song titled "Living in another world". But the sounds of "Such a shame" aren't so random : in the studio version you can more clearly hear nature sounds like elephants and birds. You can see the sound engineer with his console on stage moving the whole instruments positionning in real time during the performance. There were no pre-programming stage consoles at the time. BTW, if you want to listen to very dynamic acoustic guitar playing, check out Bernhoft SK Session and Bauhaus performances. You'd be mesmerized by this one man band skills.

Tu écoutes juste un des plus grands groupes de tous les temps!

I'm pretty surprised you didn't know them

R. I. P MARK HOLLIS..

Owww, this one brings back good memories! Everytime hearing Talk Talk, especially this one. Hearing the elephant; I am in my nices car, feet out of the window, sigaret in my hands, wind blowing through my hair, on my way to the beach. Ow boy, really good memories 😀👍🏻. But this intro and video / version is not the one that gives me the real goosebumps. Like the original / official better. But anyway thx!

Buy the Live in London cd. 86. It's the bomb!!!!

Such a shame that Mark’s no longer with us.

What you hearing is a synthesizer, special sound, listen to Vangelis

Check out Living in another world from this same concert,,awesome

On guitar is Johnny turnball who still plays with the blockheads. Check out inbetweenies or reasons to be cheerful part 3

3:20 i,m in another world ,,,,, yup that is the title of another song of talk talk

RIP, singer is no longer among us :-(

Bruh. That's the 80s for you. Synths were a new thing back then. 70s MIDI sound to actual 80s digital sound was an innovation. So these guys were experimenting in a way. Next react to "it's my life" the video clip version versus the live version of this concert.😁

Not Montreal Sir, its Montreux Swizerland.

He hated the lime light it come to s point that all he wanted to spend all is time to being a dad and a husband

You are not listening to the ORIGINAL SONG ....The Original VIDEO
