Tears For Fears covers Billie Jean

Went and saw Tears for Fears the other night and I gotta say that it was one of the best shows that I've seen in a long while and I see a lot of shows...Anyways, besides their hits which they totally rocked they brought out a surprise. They did a version of Billie Jean that was phenomenal! It started out slow almost with a "Little Red Corvette" vibe. The crowd went crazy and the song was def. a highlight of the night. I video taped some of it but it's about 65 megs so I can't really upload it...If they come to your town, go see them. They were also great guys and I talked with them after the show. I also have to say, I always thought that Roland (the long haired guy) sang most of their hits but actually it's Curt (the short haired guy). Just goes to show how great they harmonize together...Still sewing the seeds of love~~~

That's nice. And Roland and Curt were always singing together in harmony so sometimes it was hard to distinguish who was singing what by themselves. The videos were a little obvious because of Roland but yeah the both of them sung lead.

I bet it was good! biggrin

Why aren't they touring in this area?! (NJ/NYC) bawl
I saw them in 1989, and I had tickets when they were supposed to tour with Hall & Oates, but were replaced with Todd Rungren. pout

I love them! music

nod You sure do! My favorite is Songs from the Big Chair [1985], but you should also get at least The Seeds of Love [1989], their comeback Everybody Loves a Happy Ending [2004] and their debut The Hurting [1983].

WTF? Isn't the same re-working that one of the American Idol contestants did either this past season or the season prior?

If you're asking if it's similar to the Chris Cornell version that the Idol guy copied, yes it is.
