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

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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 .

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.

maravillosos, magicos, enormes , grandes WATERBOYS

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..

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..

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

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

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! :-) !

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....

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

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!

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 " ................................................. !

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!!!!! 👍❤️😻🙏🔥

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

Thank you. Best way to end the year.

Thanks for uploading this. It's so great!

Gracias por compartirlo, impresionante concierto!!

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!!!!

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!

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

AMAZING SHOW!!! Thanks for sharing this.

amazing, I really love The waterboys. Thanks for the video

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

muchas gracias por subirlo!

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

Thanks for posting ,, so underrated amazing band

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

outstanding footage, thanks for sharing

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.

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

thank you very much!!!! so much power and beauty...

Brilliant performance ... great share. Thank's.

Great performance and a tight set of songs!

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

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

Absolutely awesome!!

תודה רבה גדולה על המוזיקה הנפלאה והמרגשת, האיכותית והנוגעת. להקה מדהימה מאז ומתמיד.

ohhh what a quality concert and upload .. makes my hair stand up :D great

muito bom som, adorei !!!

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.

Gracias ! gracias! gracias!!!! un million de veces. Alucino con este video ! Un million de gracias !

Thanks, absolutely brilliant cheers..

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

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

feb 2023... wow!

Great quality, thanks.

Great Waterboys! Great sound! Long live!

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

Es una banda apoteósica,viva la música

thank u so much....

Thanks for the share. So damned good. I have a feeling too few people in the U.S. know about them.

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!

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.

Simply Amazing

Will be seeing them LIVE in Canberra Australia in 5 days, can't wait, will be the first time I've seen them live

What a great band. ty for posting.

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

Excellent. Looking forward to seeing them this week in SLC.

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

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!

And best way to start the year ;)

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

Waterboys ah! Beautiful.Thanks for sharing.Mike Scott, can ya feel the love? xx

...i will always love the waterboys...xxxlove

o yesss it's superb !!! maybe the best waterboys show !!!

amazing band seen them many times over a lot of years

music and poetry in high level!!

Great sound & camerawork.

Aaaah the Waterboys are the greatest!

Thanks for posting. KZfaq has been responsible for so many of my purchases .

Great stuff Thank you for vid

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

Awesome ! Merci.

the whole of the moon :-) the best :-)

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!

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.

Yes...thank you!!

thank you

Tnx a million for sharing :)

wonderfull concert....a god of the 80 tis

Aquí en México llegó o lo escuché hasta 1986 , The Whole of the Moon y creo que solo el 20% conoció a Waterboys en aquel entonces aquí en Cuernavaca, son geniales. This Is the Sea es maravilloso!!!

Thanks mate
