If there are any youngsters watching this welcome to the best time in music, the late 1970s and 80s funky funky Nick Beggs
Nick Beggs is a real master!!!
And very fetching in his skirt/kilt...
Ditto love ABC
It's Nick Beggs! Master of the bass guitar!
Roxy Music segued into ABC; squirrel 🐿️ look see The Jam become the Style Council. So many memories.
Trevor, you are awesome. I just wanted to say that. Thanks for your gifts to all of us.
Im 58 and I'm still listening to this amazing hit song 2024, turn it up loud and dance away
Me too.
I’m 64 this year and still dancing.🙃😎
I’m 75..still dancing to it.
Martin Fry’s vocals are astounding, original drummer David is stellar, and Nick Beggs….well…he’s a creature from outer space !!!
LOVE THIS......LOOOOOOOVE THE SINGER IN THE WHITE SUIT.
The guy on bass! Nick Beggs !! What a player!
Thank God we didn't have IPhones back then...we spent our time listening to the best music of this century...the 80's music...
No, no, no the 70's are far better 😂👍
The 80’s was the only decade where the saxophone was featured in so much in popular music. No decade more diverse or better since.
Not trying to start an argument, but seventies music had a lot of sax as well.
Nick Beggs on bass, could not be better!
Wow! He sounds great!
The Lexicon of Love..... What an album!
One of the reasons my favourite personal playlist only includes songs from 1980 to 1986 - the best period ever for music.
Good God, that is really an excellent production.
Im 41 and this is one of my fav 80s songs❤
I’m almost 44 and I so agree with you on this one!
Ho 66 anni e questo pezzo mi ricorda Mister Fantasy, bellissimo programma della televisione dove ho scoperto tanta bella musica di quegli anni
I've loved abc since my teens, I'm 65 now and still I've them, and this is from one of the best ever albums ever released. Martin's voice just gets better and a grest arrangement by Trevor Horn, and so nice to see an original buggles backing singer too, brilliant voice, God bless you ❤❤
Totally agree👏👏👏
Was so envious of Martins hair in 1982 as a 17yr old.....still am lol
Ha, me too. Hair idol. Martin, Bryan Ferry, Phil Oakey (Human League) and Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet). They all had that "Look"
Damn, this is music. Martin is so smooth. Beggs on that bass... holy smoke.
Singer Tracy Graham is just WOW! and bassman Beggs carries the tune. Like, how many times will I have to listen to it?
He sure does carry the tune and agree about Tracy Graham as well. They both stand way out.
She is sure one talented foxy lady…. 😜
At first I thought 'How great a recent performance!' then I realized omg this is already almost 20 years ago, its crazy how time files. I'll never forget the first time I heard ABC and this song in 1982, I was 14 and that bass line grabbed my soul like nothing else, and I could not get enough of this music. It still evokes that feeling! Timeless
me too !
And the most important thing is that they all enjoy to make that music, and the public enjoy listening the music.
I'm here first and foremost for drummer David Palmer. His drumming on that first ABC tour was absolutely legendary. Lifted the album Lexicon of Love to the heavens in that live show. And, when he's back behind the drums for ABC, it's beyond words good.
See also TheThe infected.
Grande Nick beggs!!! Best bass player!!!!!!
Im 65 now this never dates or ages unlike me utterly amazing performance.
This live version certainly has morphed into something incredible. A spectacular revisit of the 80's vibe. Yes I remember it from the 80's, but this is real true magic. ❤ it!
Brilliant! Trevor Horn on backing vocals! Martin Fry’s vocals are just phenomenal! Best wishes from Scotland 🏴
The people at that gig got blessed with those tickets 😮
I revised for my o levels listening to this album. What a classic. Yes it’s a cliche but the 80’s really were special. I am now 57 but remember the music like it was yesterday. What a time to be a teenager.
Me too!...I remember listening to this album in my bedroom and not getting much revision done..happy days!
Sacré souvenirs et ma jeunesse, un vrai régal.
I Love Your Music Long Time 💋💋💋, Thank You For Sharing Lovely, Bless You, Blessed Be 😇😇😇
Pure talent. This current generation will never understand how great the world was in the 80's.
CANT GET ENOUGH OF WATCHING THIS !!!
note to self: acquire a gold lamé suit, and let the power of Martin Fry compel me 💛✨
Good luck
Martin’s vocals are epic. Perfect perfect for a timeless song
Now that, at the age of 67, I listen and watch again, ABC, I wonder if it is possible that nothing has changed with them, except that we have gotten older.
This show was 2004 ,he was only 46 .
And there's Nick Beggs on bass!! Awesome.
Martin still has a set of pipes!!! Awesome performance 😊
I can't believe this is 20 years old now.
One of the greatest 80s UK 🇬🇧 albums! Just perfect 🎉❤
Great Mr. Horn. I love this song since my 16 years and, now with 57 years old i still love the song. Thaks from Manaus Amazonas Brasil
Excellent full Band . Fry sounds Awesome
He sounds so good!!! Brings back memories.🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽💜💜💜
And Nick Beggs in his kilt on bass!?!?! Daaaaaamn
Nick beggs (Kajagoogoo) on bass, my favorite bass player by far.
Love this band..
Nick Beggs is simply brilliant on the Bass.
Slap that bass, Mr Beggs!
Mr? I thought it was a woman. I thought she moved a bit strange. 🤔
Magic....and what a voice.
ドラムがロバートパーマー、ベースがニック！コレは凄い‼️
What a brilliant track - a masterpiece - thanks Trevor Horn.
The best live performance of a song other than Just a Shot Away at the Music HOF. This is jaw dropping
The best live version.
Everything genius Horn touches is pure solid gold. My personal faves are Frankie GTH and Grace Jones with an honourable mention to his 1st band The Buggles and the legend that lives on in Video Killed The Radio Star
What a concert this must have been.
Great to see the original drummer David Palmer is also in this performance. Great drummer, also played with The The on the Mind Bomb album.
And was Rod Stewart’s tour drummer after leaving ABC.
A polished act. You can see they are working hard. Proper band 👌🏻
Abc brought happy times for me
the sound, the mix, the video cuts...all fantastic.
I just went past a beach today and had a flash back to a mate who threw a party on it. He set up DJ sound . Bonfires lighting, and the day before ABC dropped the album, for the first 40 mins he just played and all these songs sounded great.
It was a magic evening, fondly remembered.
Bass is rockin!!!!❤
Nick Beggs is a class act
ABC is perhaps the best 80s era pop band, Saw them, Naked Eyes, Flock of Seaguls, Belinda Carlisle and Human Legaue at an 80's revival show and all were fantastic!!!
arguably a BIG list of there new romantic bands - Span, Duran Duran were massive out of the UK, Adam Ant, too many bands really but this generation were truly blessed, the youth today - and it's just normal -0 they have 0 idea what life was like in the 80's which for me as a very young teen was 'the best' decade in my life.
Great to see David Palmer on the drums
So strong!
Another brilliant post Mister Horn. Wow. Just wow. Thank you.
Sounds great!!! Fantastic live version
Wake up kids………We told you that we loved you SO much, while you didn't care…Do you still NOT care?
What I would have given to have attended this concert-I would have died a happy death on the spot, ecstatically revisiting my 13 year old self, the age I was when this album dropped.
If I only knew then how lucky I was to be alive in this era, I guess I might have appreciated it more, I guess-although I was in bliss at the time as it was. I certainly appreciate it more now, because boy, the time for music of this quality being on top 40 radio is SO over.
Trying to think of the last time a hit made the charts where anybody knew or cared who the band was playing the music? I remember knowing the names of every band member I loved in the eighties-Thompson Twins, the Smiths, XTC, Duran Duran, Culture Club, ABC, the Cure, INXS, the Clash, the Go-Go’s, the B-52’s, the Fixx, U2, Yazoo, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, The Cars, Devo, the Police, New Order, Human League, Heaven 17, New Order, Squeeze, Split Enz, Eurythmics, OMD, Simple Minds, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen, Talking Heads, REM, the Pretenders, Ultravox, the Pet Shop Boys, Blondie, the Waitresses, Til Tuesday, Missing Persons, Talk Talk, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Adam and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, Bananarama, the Bangles, Erasure, Naked Eyes, a Flock of Seagulls, The Psychedelic Furs, Prince and the Revolution, A-Ha, Men at Work, Love and Rockets, the Cult, ALL top 40, ALL bands with skilled musicians, all composers of their own music, and all with their own unique identity and image.
Creativity was everywhere, especially from the UK, and music was multimedia, tangible, collectible-rituals such as going to music shops or obsessing over album art or watching MTV or going to concerts were part of everyday teenage life, and they were how we socialized together.
I’m sure every generation says the music of their youth was better than any other, but with the eighties there were objective quality measures. How many genres launched in the late seventies, early eighties? An attempt at an abridged list:
New Wave, New Romantics, the second British Invasion, the NWOBHM, Punk, post-punk, alternative, synth pop, Hip Hop, Rap, Techno, House, Industrial, Hi-NRG, Ska, 2-Tone, Goth, Prince’s Minneapolis sound, god knows how many sub genres of metal. The eighties ended at a nadir with hair metal and then Grunge emerged in the early nineties.
How many since then? The fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties all have instantly recognizable sounds and styles. How would one differentiate the 2000’s, 2010’s and 2030’s? How does 2023 sound different from 2013? Every era has excellent bands that have cult or underground or college followings. But when was the last time an actual band of quality (not counting girl or boy bands) trended recently in a popular sense?
I’m an obsessive fan and constant listener of music. And I maintain that the period of the late seventies to the mid eighties (1977-1985 or so) was the greatest era of modern music, and the last period where the album, the band, and the music store existed to bring people out of their earbuds, phones and bedrooms to experience music collectively. I regret that that period is gone, and I’m forever grateful that I got to experience music as it was in my youth.
Thank you for posting this video as an opportunity for me to feel young again and to be reminded of a great period in popular history. There are many other videos from this concert available worth checking out-including the Buggles performing “Video Killed the Radio Star”-which it turns out was far more prescient than it seemed at the time…
Totalement d’accord avec toi mais dans les années 90 encore il y avait de la créativité pour moi
Heureusement la musique est gravée dans nos têtes et ne nous quittera jamais
La musique est un compagnon de tous les instants
Elle nous permet d’accéder à toutes nos émotions
Les bonnes émotions
😉
I saw them during Kieler Woche last year. So amazing.
The drummer is very good !
Great song.
It was a smashing hit here, in the 80's, too.
Greetings from Brazil.
I do miss the 80s!
Wow had Nick on the Bass! Nice, great performance.
Another all time favorite from the amazing 80s, ABC, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, OMD, FGTH, Talk Talk, Tears for fears and some many more 🥰🎹
WOW.
Great to see David Palmer back on drums, fantastic !

This song is beyond epic! When I play it in the car alone it gets loud! Screaming the lyrics
Love this. Love Martin Fry
I have this on DVD! One of the best! Especially Buggles, Pet Shop Boys and Seal! I have the CD too, but it's not live!
Wow… what a band, what a singer, what a song 🔥❤️🔥

Martin Frey is a really icon to all a generation
