As a New Romantic myself (back in the day), this is one of my favourite Spandau tracks 👍
One of the very best songs of the 1980's in my opinion.
Playing pool in a pub and Tony Hadley walked in ( The Singer of Spandau Ballet ). He was doing a show in my town later that night. Such a nice guy, played pool and bought people a drink. So down to earth and easy to get on with.
Love Tony Hadley he seems like such a great guy and what a voice!!
One of the best new age voices. Him and Simon Le Bon were really the top tier pop vocalists of the 80s
Yes, 1980-1983 were golden years x
How do you know was the BEST years ?
@@andrewfletcher1341 Because that's her opinion.
Great time, wouldn't swap for anything.
I agree. It was the best for me too!
The first album is fantastic, near perfect. They evolved/changed their sound quickly "Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)" is dance floor filling funk (very much like Roxy Music's - love is the drug) and later more famous with Blue Eye Soul of "True"
A very awesome hidden Gem 💎 song 🎵
Listen the song She Loved Like a Diamond from Spandau Ballet
Their first songs were the best.
43 yrs old and it still sounds fresh !
Spandau Ballet’s most popular hits was “True” and “Gold”.
Which were both hit singles in the US, so he would know them songs.
As sounds like he has never been abroad.
Fantastic Songs!!!
Great songs,but nowhere near as good as their earlier material,like this song
Love their first 3 albums, but their 4th and 5th not so much. Only a few songs like ´I´ll Fly For You´ and ´Through The Barricades´. I do love the 6th album (Heart Like A Sky), but I believe I am the only one.
As someone who was luckily enough to see them in 1980 this by far the best tune ... end of
OMG I can't believe someone is reacting to this song, which is one of my all time favorite!!! Rushing to the Patreon video link to see the full react but wanted to leave a comment here and say thanks for picking this one, it is a classic!!!
I went to school with the lead singers brother in Highbury, London. Saw them live at the New Romantic club ,The Blitz , just before they released the album this is from . Great band .
This song is about being a male prostitute .
Musclebound!
This is much better than their later sappy song “True” which was a huge hit but so bland compared to this early synthpop new romantic classic. You should check out more Ultravox beside the one track you reacted to already (“Vienna”), try “Dancing With Tears In My Eyes” and “Reap The Wild Wind”. Also so many amazing songs from OMD like “Talking Loud and Clear”, “Secret”, “Dreaming”.
100 percent.True was soppy bollocks.
I saw Spandau Ballet in concert in the local arena in Glasgow a few years back. They played this song. During the bass breakdown section they had the bass player (Martin Kemp) in close-up on screen and all the women (and I'm sure a lot of the men) were giggling and screaming his name. He had a massive smile on his face, he seemed to love the adoration! Martin Kemp was an 80s music heartthrob and is now known as a TV actor / personality as well as a musician. It was a great concert.
Dereck,there is a extended version of this New Romantic classic
Tony Hadley should be banned for being so handsome here.😍😍😍
Fantastic synthpop
Fab song.
LOL - the way you are reacting to this song reminds me of how it hit me the first time I heard it when I was a teenager in the 80s. Great stuff that not that many people know about any more.
The synth buffs nowadays spend fortunes in the search of these original instruments to get the sound in their hands. :)
Class song Dublin ireland cant brat the 80s
Tony Hadley had a phenomenally strong voice - he still did, about 15 years ago, when I saw Spandau Ballet on tour. The only thing that I can claim vocally is that I can get the top note at the end cleanly, and hold it - I want to see your reaction to that bit of the song! Hope you don't swallow your teeth. I remember seeing this song when it was first performed on Top of the Pops in the UK at the end of 1980, and I had never seen anything remotely like the New Romantic / tartan look that they had...
My favourite was one of their lesser hits called LIFELINE, the lead singer Tony Hadley has recent album out, the single Obvious is really good
React to Through The Barricades my personal fave of theirs, Gary Kemp is a genius
I love anything Spandau Ballet, this is a favorite. The guys think the best thing they ever did was “Through the Barricades”. It’s much more pop than their early stuff.
I was a new romantic and loved Spandau! Tony Hadley is the best bass baritone of all pop time!
“True” and “Gold” two great songs by Spandau ballet
Gary and Martin Kemp are brothers. I think i'm correct in saying that Gary (on guitar) was the main songwriter and Martin on base is married to "Wham" backing singer and their son Roman is a DJ in the UK. Steve Norman also plays saxophone on other songs. Spandau is the name of a prison in Germany and is also the name of a German weapon (gun) in the second world war.
A wee bit of history for you. The Blitz club in the 80s I'd where new romantics came started by Visages singer Steve strange who founded spandau
Most people I know tell their favorite songs about Spandau Ballet, Gold, True, Through the barricades, Only when you leave, ... I say To cut a long story short and other than real Spandau Ballet fans will turn their hands and ask: What? If you like this song try Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach
Spandau is a Part of Berlin. The capitol City of Germany. Greetings from Germany.
The term new wave wasn't in the UK at the time this came out. It came over later form the states and lumps together a load of quite different sounds. These guys at this time were pure New Romantics...along with the likes of Duran Duran. People will tell you tnlisten to Gold or True but they're later tunes and very different. Go with Chant No 1 next.
Yes, "Chant No 1" is amazing.
This group is amazing, they were unfortunately the shadow of Duran Duran but they were so much talented. You must react to only when you leave. There is a remix long version of this song.
This was one a great favourite dance song. I love it
I can't remember for sure but I think the album version is longer and has an extra verse in it.
Unfortunately it was ten years ago I last listened to this when learning to write new wave songs for university. I need to make myself a new wave playlist and get back into the genre.
Yes, there's an extended version at 6.32 of Spandau Ballet's To Cut a Long Story Short. And it's pronounced Span-dow.
Think you’d have enjoyed being in London in 1981 Dereck
I agreed because I experienced that.
First time seen anyone do this - respect
My favorite Spandau Ballet song is "Gold". "True"is their biggest hit.
Great bit of Brit Funk.
Tony Hadley's voice is still amazing 😍
Ni idea de que está canción era de Spandau ballet 😮
Listen the song.... Gold
Looks like it was filmed under one of the many Railway viaducts around London. Vauxhall? London Bridge? I think of those as they became famous clubs in London in the 90's and early 2000's.
Check out I Confess by English Beat another great song from that era
How is it possible that I have never heard this song? we are not talking about something never heard of coming from inner mongolia, they are the fucking spandau ballet, impossible not to know them. not in this hemisphere of the world, imfo.
Yup Chant No 1 got to be played
Those beautiful eighties.... Try please Election day ARCADIA
Welcome to the 80s UK Explosion
Please, react to Annie Lennox: No more I love you's. Her eyes are so expressive, she is so theatrical and dramatic with her expressions that I think she could've been an actress. And I read somewhere she was inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec paintings for this video... You have a great channel! Greetings from Peru.
Derek is funny
Try "Instinction", I think you'd like it.
Why is the clip blocked ? So silly
You should try Kajagoogoo ‘Too Shy’ now that’s a 80’s classic.
hope he doesn't - hate it
@@charliegeorge9393 true lol But the bass is wicked on that track.
@@tinkler4 fair one - Nick Beggs, still couldn't believe it got to number 1.
@@charliegeorge9393 Wow really? Everything on that song blended so well. I guess Limahl’s vocals was needed to make it a hit.
Several extended and remixed versions on YT.
Tienes que oir gold 💗💗💗
If you want synth watch Pseudo Echo - Don’t Go and Pseudo Echo - Funky Town
Check out true and gold spandau
Maybe try "Our House" by Madness, fantastic track.
Spandau Ballet is derived from the German Spandau machine gun and the ballet refers to the effect on the soldiers being hit by the bullets.
Nope, I know it's on Wikipedia, but you can't trust it.
The first time Spandau and Ballet have been used together can't be traced before year 1980 when it was spotted on a wall of a public restroom in Berlin by poet Robert Elms, who immediately thought: a band name!
He suggested it to his friends who had a band called Gentry, and they loved it. For this Elms got to write a short poem on the sleeve of their first album, from which the album title was lifted.
BTW, the town of Spandau ( now a part of Berlin ) had a ballet there in the 1800's, as far as I can tell. Can't say if there's actually a connection.
@@smithjohn383 I never got this info from Wikipedia, I am nearly sure that I heard it during a band interview from many years ago.
@@wildeone1645 well, that is strange, as I read my info from an interview booklet made in 1985 ( at the time of their The Singles Collection ) that I still have somewhere. Been a fan from the beginning, the best band ever.
But who knows, maybe they are telling a different version every time ;-)
Peace.
Check out CHVRCHES brand new track HE SAID, SHE SAID. sure you'll enjoy
Please react too selena bidi bidi bom bom
Another reason why you couldn't get up and dance around fully is you lost your pantalones! 🤪
The band is new wave (new ro.mantics) and we're very good friends with George Michael formerly Wham
