Timeless 80s song. Never gets old. Always sing along when it comes on the radio.
Tony Hadley has never needed to lip sync, he really can sing, and Spandau were NOT a boy band at all, we didn't really have boy bands as such in the UK in the 80's, they were an American thing, we didn't want nor need them. As for the suits Spandau were New Romantics anyone around then (like me) will tell you New Romantics were always well dressed and cool no matter what they wore.
But you definitely had girl bands!
Bay City Rollers . UK 70's boy band , fiddled out of all their money by their p*do, now deceased manager. There's a doc on the manager & his "taking in troubled boys for the Police". Vulnerable boys he used for his own ends. His fortune was built on fraud, drugs & dodgy business dealings.
@@hipsville Yes we did but again not like the US did, we had a couple but we seemed to prefer proper bands and solo artists. It wasn't really until the 90's we had any significant number of girl or boy bands.
Boy band is an Insult!!! and if guys or girls were in a band.....it was just a band, they knew how to play instruments and had singing talent!
Gold was great, too.
They were not a boy band. They were the New Romantics. Very talented, did not lip sync. Pronounced spandau (dale) 😊
New Romantics - and they still have me going!!!
Through the barricades 👌🏼
He can still sing like this live ❤️
A group called P.M. Dawn used the music for a song “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” back in the nineties they even got Hadley from the original version to do some of the vocals.
THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A perfect example of an 80’s track that wasn’t at all in my genre (hard rock/metal) but you cannot deny the talent!!
80’s are chock full of bands that fit that category
Wireless mics came out in the 1950s. Spandau Ballet were a group in the New Romantic genre of music, their fashion style was always suited and booted, classy. The two singers in white suits are the brothers Kemp, Gary and Martin. Both actors later and played the iconic gangsters The Krays in an early film. Hadley the lead singer went on to go into theological studies and wanted to become a pastor of a church. Very influential group. Pronounced Spand ow (as in ouch) Ballet.
Most guitars were cordless in the 80’s. Eddie Van Halen and Angus come to mind specifically
believe or not but Spandua Ballet was originally a synth pop band
@@terrymills810 Yes! I was going to put that but didn't think they would be familiar with what a synth band was lol. I am after all very old! 😅👍
Thank you for pointing this out because I was shocked when that statement was made about not having cordless mics back in the eighties.
@@kimwilson3863 to be truthful only reason I knew that is I watched a video on Gary Numan who I think is great. ruclips.net/video/hm__xDOWxDc/видео.html Before Are "Friends" Electric?: How Synth-Pop Became Synth-Pop
They did have cordless microphones then.
This song has been in a several movies, including 16 Candles, 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer
I can't hear this song without seeing and hearing the Wedding Singer version 😂
This is still such a timeless song! ❤
I loved their song 'Gold'
I love that one too and I still have the cassette I think.
Greeting from Kansas City, "Spandau" was a prison that held the Nazl Prisoners after WW2,
It's pronounced Span Dow Ballet. Named after Spandau Citadel in Berlin. The Ballet was said to be describing the twitching of all the people who were hung there during WWII
The Spandau ballet was the twitching of the bodies when the Nazi’s were hanged at Spandau prison
That’s awful!😢
That's correct. Much like the name Joy Division and it's WW2 origins, these names have deeper meanings.
Yikes! I didn't know that
There was also a machine gun used by Germans called Spandau, so some believe it's the dead Allies jerking around that is the ballet in question
One of my favorite 80's songs! Our music was so good! Great reaction, guys!
This song is among the peak childhood nostalgia songs for me.
This band is still performing life and these guys still look good
I remember camping out overnight outside our local theatre for tickets for Spandau Ballet... Back then you were either a Spandau fan or a Duran Duran fan... I was firmly on the fence and camped out overnight for Duran tickets too.. around 1983 or 84... Saw both bands bands again in the early 2000s when they both made come backs... And again saw them both in around 2017 or 18... They both still have it!
they are from london.
they were new romantics.the suits were a new image for them.if you do earlier songs you'll see their new romantic style.
the piano player is gary kemp.he wrote the songs.his little brother martin is the guitarist.
the kemps did some acting.first as real life east end gangster brothers the krays.
gary played whitney's character's manager in the bodyguard.
martin was in soap opera eastenders.
george micheal helped martin get with his backing singer from wham shirley.
they have been married since the late 80's.
Was in the Wedding singer with Adam Sandler.
The 90s movie that this song was in was called "The Wedding Singer" with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and this was one of the key songs that was sung every wedding they did. So that's another place, if you saw that movie you would've heard this song.
This song and Total Eclipse of the Heart were on MTV all the time my freshman year of college. It’s funny how music takes you right back
Sade started out singing in this band as a background vocalist.
58 years old, still love this song and always crank it up when it comes on. Dgaf!!!
The band got its name from the German prison in Spandau, where many people were executed during World War II. The name Spandau Ballet refers to how the person's body twitches and jumps when it is being hung and dangling from the ropes.
PM Dawn's sampling of this song is incredible and the band loved it. Tom Hadley, lead singer of Spandau Ballet, said it was a great use of the song and felt they did the song justice.
Duran Duran and this band were so competitive back in the day, especially back in England where Spandau had a much larger following. In the states Duran Duran ran away with it but the two bands had a great relationship and got on very well, both performed on the song "Do They Know Its Christmas" for famine relief in Africa and played at Live Aid. Check out this bands song - "GOLD". And it is never a bad thing to react to more DURAN DURAN.
He has a beautiful voice
This song was really big in the 80s. Every school dance, prom, etc. played this song. It's still one of many songs that just reach out and slaps you with the 80s every time you hear it.
Soundtrack of my childhood. It was awesome.
IT'S SPAN....DOW, that's the pronunciation.
Came here to say this 😊
-- and the 'dow' part is pronounced as in 'down' , not as in 'window' -- except if you live in some parts of the world like Scotland, Canada, some Northern English counties.
PM Dawn sampled this in their song/video "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss." A side note is that the lead singer of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley, appeared at the end of their video.
yo, didnt expect this one, but always a great break down and reaction.
All I think about when I hear this song is The wedding singer 😆✌️
So many other classics, Gold, Chant No. 1, Communication, Only When you Leave... and yes they weren't perfectly in sync in music videos, they weren't at the standard they are now. Most of the time it was the band with their musical instruments lip-singing on video for our entertainment so we could swoon a bit over our favourite band members! :)
“Gold” is the next Spandau Ballet song to listen to. I’ve been into metal since I was a kid but love this band.
Spandau like span-dow like in Dow Jones. Great 80s group. I'm certainly glad that you remembered Q104 in Kansas City.
Spandau (Span-dow) Ballet was named for Spandau Prison in Berlin, Germany. This was the home, after the Nuremburg Trials after World war II, of Rudolph Hess, Adolph Hitler's Number 2, who flew to Scotland in 1941 in a vain attempt to negotiate a Peace deal with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The Ballet part of the name comes from certain moments at the Prison, at the end of a rope. The band itself was okay, this song was their biggest hit, at least here in the USA.
We did have radio mic's back then it wasn't the dark ages lol. Tony Hadley's voice was so pure and powerful he could have sung without a mic.
The little silver thing sticking out of the bottom of the mic is the antenna for a cordless microphone.
Great song and band brings me back to my teen years, 80's were the best years
Such a great song! Brings back so many memories!❤❤ Gotta love the 🎷!!🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction guys!!❤❤
All I think of when I hear this is slow dancing at our school disco 🪩 #GettingOld
There are some fab New Romantics bands. We need more saxophone solos in modern music 🎷
BTW The 80's is not ancient times. We did have cordless microphones and healthy hair products. And it is a insult to call this band a boy band. They were professional musicians and singer songwriters.
They appeared at a theatre I managed in the '80's. Great live band and nice guys.
I saw them play Wembley back in the 80s, Tony is a legend, the guy has one fine set of pipes. GOLD! is also one you need to listen to probably their biggest hit
Check out Spandau Ballet and ' Through the Barriacades' for an absolute lyrical banger
Agreed. My favourite too. Also I’d add To Cut a long Story Short
I went to see Spandau live at Wembley stadium in the early 80s and Tony Hadleys voice was really that good.
Cordless mics..Spandau never needed to lip sinc..saw them live and they were afuckingmazing! 😁👍🇬🇧
Spandau Ballet has a pretty grim connotation. I believe that it refers to Nazi prisoners being hung in Spandau Prison after WW2. Specifically, the death throes of the prisoners likened to dancing. YIKES!!!!!!
I just watched this singers ancestry connection on you tube yesterday...and here is his reaction 😮....
Hey guys! I remember this from middle/high school!
If you watched the series Modern Family, there is an episode about this song (guest star is Edward Norton as an original band member). It's called "Great Expectations" (Season 1, episode 8)
You and Don should react to it!
Spandex ballet daiquiri for the ears
If you’ve seen the movie The Wedding Singer, you probably heard this song (among a plethora of other 80’s hits). 😊
We had cordless mics in the 80's!!!
Check out Soft Cell "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go" extended version! Major dance club jam! Over 31 million views! 🤠
Loved this song since it first came out!
I confess, I love this song!
Spandau Ballet was what they called the twitching or jerky movement that Nazi war prisoners made when they were hanged at Spandau prison in Germany, it's horrifying thinking about it.
Aquanet!!! I can’t believe we didn’t fly away in a windstorm! And those shoulder pads! I can remember slow dancing with my boyfriend to this song. It could really set a mood.
When Krizz did the second "True" I just busted out laughing.
I remember seeing them in 1985. I couldn't hear for a week they had the music up loud. I heard the music was louder then the heavy metal groups that played at the venue.Then saw them again in 2005 and Tony Hadley's voice still great. The two Kemp brothers went onto acting when the band slit. Gary Kemp was in the Body Guard movie
This came out in... (lifts glasses to see the vinyl) 1983 (I was living in Germany) and we did have cordless mics. Good reaction, Fellas. #WhatUpDoe
this was played at the end of The Wedding Singer. When they were getting married.✌️❤️🏵️
If you want to listen to more saxophone music play “The Beat - mirror in the bathroom top of the pops 1980” Ska music where the band has black and white members. I love ska music
@@nicolasmiley7181 damn I miss the 80s
Yes, there were wireless mics in 1983.
He’s right this song 🎶 was in a movie 🎥 🍿 I believe Sixteen Candles and I’m sure others as well
guy can sing came out in futurist era of british bands and did have cordless mikes
Pronounced as Span-dow, as in span-cow, Ballet. Not a boy band. Movies 🎥 16 Candles 🕯 starring Molly Ringwald in 1984. The Wedding 💒 Singer has an excerpt.
Written by Gary Kemp. Classic 🙌 1980s pop ballad. In the video he is on piano 🎹. But, in concert and in the studio 🎙 he was on guitar 🎸. Jess Bailey was on piano 🎹 in the studio and on tour in early days of Spandau Ballet.
Martin Kemp, younger brother of Gary, on bass guitar 🎸. He was married to Shirlie Hollliman, who was a backing singer for Wham! You can see them in the music video 📹 Last Christmas 🎄. Steve Norman on saxophone 🎷 John Keeble on drums 🥁. Tony Hadley on lead vocals. He quit. The band broke up afterwards.
7:15. Marvin refers to Marvin Gaye, who was alive in 1983. RIP.
Samples. 1 In 1991, PM Dawn used a sample for a song 🎵. 2 Backstreet Boys had a sample: ain't nothing but a heartache 💔 matched the descending piano scale, 8:06 and last 10:53, of True.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 PM Dawn performs Set Adrift on Memory Bliss 2 Backstreet Boys sing I Want It That Way. 3 Spandau Ballet performs Highly Strung.
I'm glad you brought the suit factor. It was considered more classy to wear one, Rod Stewart did. I miss that factor. Heck, you're on TV, wear a suit!!!
What today's "music" is lacking class!
Una de las mejores bandas de los 80
We’re doing a lot of old UK stuff; maybe do Big Country? Go on, go on, you know you want to …
This song you can take your girl in your arms! ❤and dance and have a good time. I miss guys and girls dancing together!
This song was part of The Wedding Singer soundtrack also.
Wireless microphones started to get popular back in the 70s. I've been to concerts back then and have seen them used.
Krizz killin me with the "truuuuuue"🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was in the movie 16 Candles during the dance scene when Sam was watching her crush Jake Ryan.
On another note, I double dare everyone to Google what a Spandau Ballet is. It's more fitting for a heavy metal group imo.
And Mr. Mike microphone by Ronco came out in 1978 😂. We werent such dinosaurs. I loved my Mr. Mike
This reminds me of freshman year in college, 1983/84
You need to start watching the movies too that all these classic songs came from This is from
Sixteen Candles ONE OF THE BEST 80s movies of ALL TIME!! 🎂
PM Dawn sampled this song and it was they're biggest hit.
While the 80s had its share of cheesey there were plenty of gems as well. This is one of the better examples. Great band, killer song, classy as hell video. It's kind of timeless in a way.
Spandau is a district of Berlin/Germany
A prison during WWII for Nazi war criminals I think .
Since you guys enjoyed this Spandau Ballet song I would love to see you react to another one of their songs "I'll Fly For You" Its got a prominent saxophone part in it, the video is really something to ponder and also I just love the song. It is mesmerizingly smooth and jazzy. My all time favorite Spandau Ballet song. ruclips.net/video/49gy4OSlG40/видео.html BTW The name of the new wave band Spandau Ballet came from a phrase written on a bathroom stall in Berlin, Germany:
I bought my first cordless mike in 1983 and they had been around a while
PM Dawn used this as a sample for his track "set adrift on memory bliss"
Probably well worth a reaction of its own actually.
I forgot about PM Dawn sampling this. Good call.
“Spandau Ballet” was the name the Nazis gave to the movements/spasms that people made when they were hanged!
Actually it was the name the jailers gave to the movement/spasms the Nazi war criminals made after being hung at Spandau Prison in Berlin, post WW2.
@@Neillybob63 Thanks ! 👍🏻
Tony Hadley was in the PM Dawn music video and sang the hook.
From the movie 16 Candles.
This song was in several movies.
80s was lit! ❤😊
They also were big fans of Marvin Gaye.
My favourite band from my teenage years. Had their posters all over my bedroom walls then. They were not a boy band. They were really great singers and talented musicians. Try listening to 'Through The Barricades'. This was the music video for the song, so it could have out of sync with the audio. But it doesn't mean they don't sing live...
You guys should check out Lloyd’s song “YOU”. This song is sampled in the chorus. “She’s fine too, but I want YOU”…
Spandau was the name of a prison
Listening to Marvin (Gaye) all night long
Listen to STEELY DAN'S Black Cow if your into Sample..you'll Dig it guys
Spandau was a prison in Berlin, Germany. During WW2 No spandex relation there
Unpopular opinion possibly but I always thought Gold was the better song of theirs
I prefer Through The Barricades
I can see that. It's a great one in it's own way. Faster, more upbeat and a little more edge to it.
I prefer to cut a long story short ,freeze muscle bound
We already had wires mics. Also, we had wireless phones back then!
