They toured the following year but fell out as the tour went on. There were fisticuffs backstage before one of the gigs (can’t remember where) & that one ended up being their last.
Definitely at the start, during the low register 'crooner' intro of "Rage Hard". Not sure about the entire video. I saw a teleprompter at the end of the runway, and I doubt Holly would have needed that if he wasn't really singing. So, it's also possible that a pre-recorded vocal track was added after the performance, but at the venue, Holly & the band were live. Just some possibilities..
Really loved this band back in the day 😁
Strength to rise up, strength to win, strength to save the world from losing!!!! Great song, great lyrics....great performance!!! Thanks Holly.
Holly Johnson ;-) great dancer
I remember Holly getting interviewed about this show. He was really embarrassed because he fell over on the wet stage 3:32. Funny!
Great Song!! i love it
iconic
I was there but its all fuzzy in my mind. Lots of top artists on there only remember Frankie though, all the seating was above the water crazy.
amazing
never thought of looking for this before i aint seen this since its original broadcast fook me.
Sucha brill, unique band and that second album Liverpool was a great, mature record. What a shame it bombed and sealed the band's fate.
I remember watching this at the time and thinking it was live but now I don’t think so. No mics on the drums and the guitars don’t look plugged in.
Great perf 👍
RIP Gary Moore.
Such fond memories of this night :)
Thanks for sharing
BTW, have you got the Damned when they did Eloise with the orchestra at this concert?
Thanks
Don't think Holly is singing live
fuckin cool cool song...............
Was this the last performance? They were on the skids during this time. FANTASTIC set!!!

Don't see any keyboards on stage, so the whole thing is a phonogram from the album.
Holly clearly on lip sync/playback, probably the band too.
