Talk Talk - Such a Shame (Live at Montreux)

Live at Montreux 1986 is a concert video release by the British synth pop band Talk Talk of a concert at 1986 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The show was part of a tour that started in April 1986 to promote the band’s recent album The Colour of Spring, and was to be their only appearance at Montreux, from their last tour. For this tour, the usual trio of Mark Hollis (vocals), Paul Webb (bass), and Lee Harris (drums) was augmented by John Turnbull on guitar, two percussion players, and two keyboard players. As often, de facto fourth band member Tim Friese-Greene did not play on stage with the band. :: Such a Shame :: Such a shame to believe in escape ’A life on every face’ And that’s a change Till I’m finally left with an eight Tell me to relax, I just stare Maybe I don’t know if I should change A feeling that we share It’s a shame Such a shame Number me with rage It’s a shame Such a shame Number me in haste Such a shame This eagerness to change It’s a shame The dice decide my fate And that’s a shame In these trembling hands my faith Tells me to react, ’I don’t care’ Maybe it’s unkind that I should change A feeling that we share It’s a shame Such a shame Number me with rage It’s a shame Such a shame Number me in haste Such a shame This eagerness to change Such a shame Tell me to relax, I just stare Maybe I don’t know if I should change A feeling that we share It’s a shame Such a shame Number me with rage It’s a shame Such a shame Number me in haste It’s a shame Such a shame Write it across my name It’s a shame Such a shame Number me in haste Such a shame This eagerness to change Such a shame
