This is music on a level not everybody is able to comprehend.

I hope everyone realizes how fucking amazing this song is! Piano, Sax, guitar, vocals, timing!!!!

Roland's Voice! Omg!

The song, the saxophonist, guys' clothes, Curt's ponytail, Roland's hair - everything is gorgeous in this perfomance!!

The best band that came out in the 80s. Pure quality rock. A classic for all times.

"Fear is such a vicious thing. It wraps me up in chains." This is probably my favorite non-single song from the Big Chair. They definitely did a great job of reproducing it live.

I was there in the crowd at the Tube and we went to the pub over the road after the program. The Tears were there and they were very shy. They let their music do the talking...The Tube - what memories

Pure gold without auto tune! My FAVORITE BAND still after 36 years!!

This is go organic. No huge stage. No stadium tour. Real intimate and raw, yet so perfectly Tears For Fears beautiful

Are you kidding me! One of their best songs ever, and the sax!!!

I'm sorry, I just can't get enough of Roland and his magic..💚💚

This song is over the top! Roland’s vocal’s ..wow!! Those white old school sweaters..set the tone. RO set the standard for the 1980’s and you know what he is still standing!!

Tears for Fears was a huge part of the 80's and it's because music like this. Their music had feeling it had meaning that's just something that's lost in music today. We will never have music like we did in the 80's and I'm so glad I did get to live those great times where music meant something.

Two words for these guys,Enormous Talent,especially Orzabal.

This song is absolute genius in lyrics and tune. Incredible. I used to listen to this every day at work on my Sony Walkman.

Roalnd is whole UK´s voice and music in the 80´s, specially in this gorgeus performance, what a way to deliver his soul through his voice....eternal respects for him.

There’s something so triumphant about this band’s music

One day in 1985 When i was 10 year old, mi big brother came whit an album from a group called Tears fors fears in a tape... i listened the album in my walkman all the time Now... as a man 35 years later... father of two sons... how i mis you my death brother... i love you so much... funny how... time flyes

The dancing New Romantic / Goth guy at 4:10 wins this whole video 💖

These guys knew what songwriting is about - their music, their lyrics EVOKE, a time a mood, a place, and everything they do is dramatic. I miss Tears For Fears.

5:12 - the moment Roland remembers he's live on stage and not jamming in private. 😆 NO ONE sounds like TFF. That's one of the many things that makes them an awesome band. Curt's hair though. 😍

It just occurred to me that almost 40 years later, I’m going to see this amazing band perform live this summer. 🤯

sounds even better live!!! that saxophone!! smooth like buttah.

very underrated song..

Tears for Fears is 100% the best of the 80's & the rest of the band In the 80's... peace

The cream chunky knitwear was out in force that day !

Roland has an amazing voice, so powerful. Love this song, thanks for posting.

what a voice !!!! roland is tears for fears !!

amazing talent can actually exist in this world

working hour is the song that probably is most responsible for long term love of TFF.

One of the most obscure and underrated songs of all time.

"This *is* the working hour". The *is* is so powerful.

ROLAND’S VOICE IS SO ANGELIC OMG

Such an epic tune!! The saxophonist is a maestro and doesn't even need any sheet music ❣️

This Is A Music Masterpiece In Every Single Way. 👏

Not just this song but every song big beginning to end from the Tears for fears album Songs from the big chair were just hits

Gorgeous shots of Curt dancing and playing bass!!!!

💕💕My favorite Tears for Fears song💕💕

that sax at the end flashes me back to 10 - 11 yrs old, laying in my bed in the dark listening and rewinding this song on my tape, listening to my walkman! this was heavy shit back then! still is! all of their stuff has aged very well. one of the bands that are in a class by themselves from the 80's, for sure.

The quick, silent "thanks a lot" at the end is pretty amusing. Some calm, composed, and humble.

My brother Terry recorded this when it was on in the mid Eighties. The programme was called 'The Tube'....he still has the VHS tape which works fine. I still love to watch this, its an excellent live performance, brilliant brilliant song......loads of nostalgic feelings of being a teenager come back when I watch this.

Such a beautiful song - and I tend to like more "rockier" stuff. Roland Orzabal is very talented singer/songwriter

The band uniform was white sweaters, and black trousers that night. I don't know who the sax player is, but damn!! Incredible!! Love this song. Every song on "Songs From The Big Chair" is pure gold!! Great song for the Labor Day weekend too!

THE BEST LIVE VIDEO OF "THE WORKING HOUR"

So powerful!!! Amazing voice! No wonder they are being admired up to this day!

I NEVER get tired of watching this!

this is ahead of it's time even in TFF's history... foreshadowing the bigger band instrumentation of the Sowing The Seeds album

After 36 years I've been listening to this every day when I'm in a road trip

Drums drums drums ride that song so well , great performance . I love it so much

Vraiment cette chanson is a masterpiece saxo qui se marie avec la voix de Roland de surcroît la guitare... Ça swingue vraiment Roland et Curt sont complémentaires. Ce groupe est indubitablement l'un des meilleurs de tous les temps. 🇬🇧🥁🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✌

Those 80's sweaters. :) 'Bring to me my big old sweater'

I love your voice Roland. It's beautiful

Love the sax and how awesome all the different instruments sound together!!! and add Roland's powerful and mesmerizing voice WOW!!! Lovvve it!!!

Still watching this musical masterpiece in 2021 the lyrics the arrangement and Roland's voice makes this song eternal

we are paid by those who learn by our mistakes

Great song and this footage is proof that British mullets were classier than American mullets.

i still live the 80s new times are awfull-TFF big love

Love you Roland💖🌟

凄い👏あの中に居たのですね✨高校生のうまくいかなかった恋愛や自由にしてきた大学生活を思い出して止みません。今年55になります。あの頃に戻りたい。やり直したい。

One of their best!!! - I love both of these guys, they have brought so much pleasure into my life!! I hope they live forever & still do music & in heaven!!!!!!!

who gives a shit about the knitwear when the music's this good

Wow, wow! This is my favorite Tears for Fears song and this live version was flawless! These guys are very talented ❤

Wow, if I could go back in time, I would go right back to this. I was so one of those kids dancing and feeling their music. So grateful I got to see them play live back then, truly they where an incredible live show...what a time it was to be a teenager then...

A timeless classic..simply wonderful!

Wonderful Band!Wonderful Sax!

Fantastic vocals, songwriting & musicianship = "Facts" (as a fellow musician) I can see & hear the effort they put-in, to make it Sound Great Live. oNe LovE from NYC

LOVE "TEARS FOR FEARS"!!!

WOW!!!!AWESOME!!!!!! Now back to building a time machine...🔙🕐

I've always felt as if Songs From The Big Chair was a perfect soundtrack for the 1980's. All the great albums have a timeless sensibility about them but also have an uncanny essence that takes the listener back to that time and place when they were recorded. In my opinion The Working Hour sums up the early part of the 80's like no other song to that point while Broken/Head Over Heels eerily predicts the vibe of the late 80's before it even happened. Credit to Donnie Darko for using Head Over Heels within the scoring of a movie that takes place in 1988 even though that song was 3 years old at the time.

Toda la decada de los 80s. Esta representada por esta enorme cancion, cada sonido, cada tecla, cada nota musical te llama a reflexionar, te dice y te grita la perfecciòn de un todo y nada, por lo tanto Es la hora de trabajar!!

What an amazing song.......absolutely brilliant band.

Qué canción espectacular de este hombre que no deja de sorprenderme y seducirme. TFF es atemporal. La forma que , desde siempre, mezcló todos los diferentes instrumentos... pocas , muy pocas bandas han sido capaces de hacer eso . Son obras primas de la música. Roland, sin ninguna duda su identidad, tipo vocal es inconfundible, un verdadero regalo de Dios, es extraordinaria, tiene alcances de barítono y sus agudos tienen una densidad más lírica y por eso no suena irritante, o sea, tiene los elementos claves para un timbre vocal admirable y cautivante. TFF fue, es y siempre será una de las mejores bandas de todos los tiempos. How not to love you Roland!!?? No me canso de escucharte Roland, no me canso de escuchar TFF. Saludos afectuosos desde Chile-Brasil.

Dear Dave. Don't know where you are now but mate we had some great night's listening to these guys

Such a beautiful piece of music. TFF are so talented. This is one of my favorites.

Roland tiene una hermosa voz! 😍

Esse som é demais........!!!!! Adoro todas deles, e essa é minha favorita!!! Amo Tears for fears!!!😀👍.

This Song is not music - it´s Art! Just wonderful. The Saxophon is the Killer!!!! The People really look weird :P.. They all have the same Sweaters. The Dancers in the Background of the Crowd are also wicked. Hahaha

Inesquecível esse disco!! Uma obra prima da primeira à última faixa. TFF simplesmente perfeitos até hoje. Amo muito 💗💗💗💗

That Curt's Steinberger headless bass were very often to see on eighties, real good instrument, a friend of mine had one when we had our rock cover band

Best, best live version!!!!

Es una de mis canciones preferidas de los grandes de TFF. Roland eres lo maximo y Curt el angel de TFF.

Who cares? Most of us are thankful for the opportunity to revisit this TFF moment, which is always a tremendous pleasure.

The best tears tune for me, so much going on, but it comes together beautifully

One of the best of all time, if you heard this for the first time you would appreciate it if not love it

Absolutely beautiful even live.

One of my favorite songs! I had the privilege of seeing Tears For Fears at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. They were breathtaking! Thank you for sharing this. 🌹

Yes, what show, and Performance, all of it, is such an expression of a Huge Art, Thanks God Almighty for that.......
