Cutting Crew's single debut I Just Died in Your Arms brought the band to number 4 in the UK Charts in 1986. And just one year later another superhit followed I've been in Love Before which hit the top spot in the US Billboard charts. Sadly guitarist Kevin MacMichael died in 2002 but singer Nick Van Eede has reformed the band with a completely new line-up and they are currently touring with their new album Grinning Souls.This concert filmed in Hamburg Germany in 1987 shows off the bands optimistic songs and catchy melodies with the original line-up's skilful... deployment of acoustic and electronic instruments. Cutting Crew wow their fans at this concert with their amazing live show. Tracklist: 1. Intro - Alan Bangs 2. Any Colour 3. Fear Of Falling 4. Sahara 5. One For The Mocking-Bird 6. I've Been In Love Before 7. Instrumental Solo 8. I Just Died In Your Arms [show more]
At long last, one of the 80's most underated bands "Cutting Crew's Live At Full House Rock Show" has finally arrived on DVD.
The band will always be associated with the classic hit "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" which reached number 1 in 19 different countries (Excluding the UK where it reached a disapointing number 4!) but this DVD shows that the "then" line-up which consisted of Martin Beedle on Drums, Colin Farley on Bass, Kevin MacMichael on Guitar and of course the multi-talented singer/songwriter who wrote nearly all of the bands songs (including Died In Your Arms) Nick Van Eede were extremely tight musically & this particular concert (despite it being really short) really shows how good the band were live.
The songs included on the original show included:
Any Colour
Fear Of Falling
Sahara
One For The Mockingbird
I've Been In Love Before
&
(I Just) Died In Your Arms.
All of which are performed very well & sound even better than the studio versions found on their excellent debut album "Broadcast".
Despite the band releasing other hit singles including One For The Mockingbird, I've Been In Love Before, Any Colour & (Between A) Rock & A Hard Place, there was really no chance for the band to follow up the mega success of their first single (despite I've Been In Love Before which should be heard by everyone who loves Died In Your Arms).
After the band split in 1992, Kevin MacMichael toured with Robert Plant on his Fate Of Nations Tour alongside another gifted gutarist, Francis Dunnery of It Bites while Nick Van Eede was asked to be the next lead singer of Genesis (which he declined).
Kevin MacMichael however died at the end of 2002 (This DVD should really be a tribute to the underated guitarist). Now 2006, Nick Van Eede is now back as Cutting Crew and has already released a new album "Grinning Souls" (give it a listen, better than most of the modern music around at the moment) and has recently been on tour across Europe.
So if you loved (I Just) Died In Your Arms and always wondered what their other songs sounded like, then i'd suggest buy this DVD to find out for yourself (especially at this very affordable price).
