If you watch the drummer singing a song he heard and played since the 80 ies, it is because it really touches him. This is what you call real music. This is a pop romantic hymn. Am I a privileged man, being born in 1969, raised with the 2 amazing decades of unique musicians,....
This was, and still is an incredible song. Tony is pure masterclass in this live performance, his vocals are still as strong, if not stronger then they were all those years ago, The band are also just as tight, and impeccable. I love how the drummer is singing along with Tony, just a magical moment. Total respect to a band that has stood the test of time. I salute you. 🙏 ✊👏👏
Actually it is about one of ours getting killed. by a british soldier on august 9th 1983. R.I.P. Thomas Reilly ( Kidso ) ..........I think you got your view of the song all wrong. alsoi the "barricades" are reference to the peace line that seperates shankill and the falls
@@daviekuklatv so true my friend. this song is about people separated by war, forced to hate and kill other people that they don't know just cause the war
Just found this - awesome. Saw them live at the NEC B'ham in late 1985 and again 30 years later in Nottingham in 2015. Brilliant both times and now they're on all my Spotify playlists.
Right!! Please please get together again! Only together you are the best group eeveer! We miss you a lot!! Do that because of us. This song is their best performance! What a voice, perfect

Best song they ever wrote, composed and sung. A very much underrated gem of the 80’s. Touches me deeply, especially with my Irish Catholic (me) and UK Protestant background/heritage. Makes me think of my dear Nanna. God bless her soul.
Thomas Reilly ( Kidso ) was killed for no reason the british soldier who killed him admitted that fact years later when they finally shed light on how the britts usually offed anyone they wanted. thats early 80s belfast for ya
Genial Tony Hadley singt auch noch in 30 Jahren diesen song und er singt in jedesmal ein bisschen anders un das geht ins Herz, Er ist eben ein Musikgenie!!
What a marvellous singer Tony is and such a brilliant song too. I meet him in the early 90's playing in a charity football for Arsenal and a real nice fella too - no the big I am, really decent bloke 👍
2024 anyone?
Yeah
The most underrated song ever
Underrated yes, not most underrated..
35 years later, I am still listening to this fantastic song. Amen
the drummer's emotion is priceless
This song is one of the best ballad songs of The eighties. Timeless and beautiful to This Day. ❤
wonderful ballad

Yes!

@@juanjoseruiz3501Read the history of Ireland, it will give you a better more innate understanding of what this ballad is about.
Read the first few lines of this song in tributeto my mum,on the day of her funeral...then had the privilege to hear it live...so bittersweet.
Outstanding I'm 60 years of age some music doesn't mean nothing until we get older.
Just brilliant, love this song and Tony is a truly remarkable singer.god bless you

OH MY GOD. I forgot how great this song is !!!!
Absolutely amazing !!! They should have never gotten another singer , Tony can’t be replaced
I totally agree, to me Tony Hadley is Spandau ballet.
One of the best Songs ever!!!!
Love watching the drummer from the start and throughout. Tony's voice is amazing ❤
Me to, this song always gets to me, Gary Kemp is a genius, and Tony has a voice to die for, this has always been one of my all time favorite songs.
Mom..I love you..😔😭
Rest in peace ♡
He played this at Belfast as I had this played at my mums funeral...God Bless you.
❤️
He is still has good voice and the looks! So handsome !!!
This will always be a CLASSIC......
Lara & Giò forever together
I wasn’t really into this kind of music growing up but my word what an incredible vocal range and performance all these years later. Wow!
So good
I love the saxophone at the end...! It wouldn't be the 80's without a cool sax!
unbelievable good live Singer ,what a Voice
easily 0ne of their best songs but underated, as Spandau Ballet fan it wins for me as their best, class
Absolutely fantastic loved them when I was young such a great shame they are not still together Tony has a amazing voice ❤️❤️
Yes a real shame, it would be great if they could settle their differences.
Love the 80s and Tony’s voice brings back so many memories.Apart from a few bands music died when the millennium started.
Goodness! The best music was made back then!
I want to go back to the 80-90s...It was a better world, without hate..❤❤❤❤
No words. He's truly sensational.
What a superb song and Tony's voice is just as good, maybe better than 25 years earlier!
Usually when people say this about older singers I cringe because it's just wishful thinking. But in this case I believe you are absolutely correct!
Danke für das tolle Lied.!
Simply Beautiful
2019 and still ... now the lyrics much appreciated
What a voice!!!!! Always the best!
SO OLD SO GOOD
Timeless classic ❤
my favorite Spandau Ballet song

I feel in LOVE with this song when it first came out
