    I loved this song when I was young. I loved it even more when I realised what it was about. It captures (and quotes) the spirit of Yeats:
    I write it out in a verse --
    MacDonagh and MacBride
    And Connolly and Pearse
    Now and in time to be,
    Wherever green is worn,
    Are changed, changed utterly:
    A terrible beauty is born

    This live performance, of this legendary song, is just astonishing.
    Tony still has that signature voice, and can still hit this high notes decades after the song was first released.
    Gary is also outstanding on the guitar, such a difficult and melodic piece of music to play.
    Total respect to the two artists that have stood the test of time.
    I salute you.

    R.I.P. Thomas Reilly ( Kidso ) Killed august 9th 1983. shot dead by a British soldier. he worked for the band selling merchandise during their TRUE tour. he went back home after and was killed. Years later his brother Jim took Kemp to his gravesite along the falls road. This tune was born out of that experience.

    This is a classy performance. No doubt. I love this song dearly. However, it's clear that Tony does not have the range that he had when the single was released in '86. He has definitely lost some vocal range in the intervening 35 years. For anyone who disagrees. Don't kid yourselves. It's daft to think it is possible for him to sing it the same as he did back then. Time takes it's toll on us all. However, he still sounds magical. Just different. Loving Gary's 'special chord' too.

    The bum note by Gary just makes me love this video more, I just love Tony Hadleys voice . Through the barricades is my favourite song of all time ❤

    I don't know how they did put this together. There are a lot of grudges between them. I can see every movement of Gary Kemp express it particulary on end of the song.

    Through the Barricades, was inspired by events that took place in Northern Ireland.
    "We had a guy called 'Kidso' (Thomas Reilly), who worked for us on merchandise during the True tour," Gary explains. "He went back to Belfast after the tour and was killed. (A soldier, Private Ian Thain, was convicted of murder after a lengthy trial).
    "Kidso's brother, Jim, who played drums for Stiff Little Fingers, subsequently took me along to see his grave and the song was inspired by walking down the Falls Road. I got to experience some of the emotion of that first-hand and it just stuck with me…….Gary Kemp
