songs that were "re-themed" with an orchestra or choir

Strictly not a fair entry for originality, a cover..but worthy on other levels..

The video of the venue is WOW...........could you imagine

Thanks Tammy, I was just listening to this recording this afternoon.

[TGMatt]

Wow..Not their best song..(i think souvenir or forever live and die or maybe La Femme accident, , If you leave?? ) then I googled and look there are more..Xmas..for me at least...


Please sir can I have some more..


You know any one who says these 80's guys couldn't write music I think have it wrong..they just landed in the synth generation, born 10 years either side and they would have still been composing great pieces, just different instruments..

Now what about Spandau Ballet, Simple Minds or Thompson twins or Waterboys or INXS or if I am dreaming Ice House or Depeche Mode ??..

These vids are a touch low quality..but what the heck

[TGMatt]

Omg....Iva my hero...


If you have never found or listened to Ice House please od yourself a favor..an Australian legend..from FLowers to Icehouse to solo, films etc..

When I first met Neil we chatted about Aussie music..he told me one of his favorite albums was man of colors from Ice HOuse..no Joke..

[TGMatt]

Iva by the way wrote the music to Master and Commander ..amongst others..he has some composing chops

[TGMatt]

Ok ok..This is too funny..

Spandau Ballet cover..With Ukes..and a reference to tuning...

Listen b4 you press play, there are a couple of NFC moments..a warning....

If you want to know what the sign in the back means please consult our resident Australian Slang translator Tovo..

[TGMatt]

Depeche mode..

[TGMatt]

Simple minds..what a find...what a couple of anthem songs..

Lisa and I were taking to a concert this summer by some friends of our and we had a great time.And they took us out to dinner afterward.I was going to see them do Led zeppelin early this year but had to work.This would have been a great concert also.
