Sparks: Tiny Desk Concert

I love these brothers. They were like the Queen, but did it all bit earlier, kind of better and with a nice slice of humor.

Big Enough is a work of genius, I was disappointed by their other numbers.

Only artists behind the desk on this occasion I guess.....

Wake up world.......this is Sparks ❤❤❤

Pretentious Devo with 0 self awareness or humour

I love Sparks!!

Man, one day I might be skilled enough to play on a "Ronald" keyboard like that. 😆😅😂🤣

And that stoic face of Ron cracks me up every time .... Thank you to the Sparks, to Bob and of course to that incredible sound team!

Dear Bob, you're killing me! I have repeated "This town ain't big enough" twelve times and always danced full force. But I'm an old man - now I'm tired.
Thank you so much for bringing those brothers back, what a pleasure after all these years. But I'm not sure I like Russell: Why can he still sing like that, why is he still so good?
I loved them back then, I remember seeing them the first time on the BBC when "This town" just came out ...

The best Krautrock band not to actually be German.

I really try to like their music, but it just gives me a stomach ache😶😷

I consider myself knowing of great tunes but somehow Sparks stayed under my radar until the documentary.

Sparks and the Brian Jonestown Massacre are the biggest gems of indie music.

Bravo to Russell for that last note in This Town.

Living legends. End off. Sparks represent a world that we SOOO need to return to. As often as we can x

Brilliant.

What a total joy of a band. Saw them live in 1974.

Wooooooahhhhh

these guys obviously have all the talent of a 'super group' with the intellectualism of 70's 'prog'. I'm just flabbergasted by their genius.

First band I ever saw at the Glasgow Apollo 1976 (I think!). Russ' voice still sounds great

Sparks, as amazing today as they’ve ever been.

Brilliant guitar work on This Town.

"This Town aint big enough for the both of us", "When will I get to sing my way", "Number one song in heaven", That video where Ron was stripping and The video about clocks are MY FAVORITE SONGS BY THEM. I LOVE the documentary about them too. I love Sparks

Ik vind dat Ron Mael nu onderhand gewoon kan doen. Hij hoeft voor mij niet perse dezelfde standbeeld pose aan te nemen als in de jaren 70. Kom op Ron, we weten dat je heel goed stil kan zitten, maar het is niet verplicht. Dus doe maar gewoon. We vinden jou nummers toch wel goed en mooi, oke?

I think Russell has all of his clothes custom made

❤❤❤

Amazing

ALL HAIL HYPNOTOAD!

Great to see these two still performing, I have been a fan since the 70's !

wow amazing . I saw them live in a small hall in Kansas City about 45 years ago. Thanks for posting

This band makes me wish I was born deaf.

Don't know why, but it always sounds to me like 'It doesn't have to be that way' has a really good Beatles vibe to it. Loved this tiny desk concert. Thank you

Absolutely amazing.

I feel like I manifested this 🥰🥰🥰

Best band ever end of

The ever sprightly sounds of sparks. The rest of the band are ace too.

It doesn't have to be that way

Name another rock band producing the best albums 30-50 years into their career. Russell sounds the same as he did 50 years ago, maybe better! Astonishing! Fav album Lil' Beethoven, Young Lovers, Exotic Creatures, Gratuitous Sax but so many other greats.

Maccio Capatonda alla tastiera, grande 😅

Horrible. Aesthetically n acoustically.

EATEN BY THE MONSTER OF LOVE

I remember seeing the Sparks in concert at Six Flags Magic Mountain like 30 years ago! lol 😅. They’re still amazing after all these years!

How the fk can he still hit those notes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Rocked it.

Lol thats Noah Lennox in the future

Even in the tiniest of venues they can raise a maelstrom of fun!

merci

Magnificent!!!

off the wall band, i loved them.
