    Watching this now in 2024 I am suddenly transported back to that magical decade of the 80s when I was a young man in my 20s and the world was a better place, and the Thompson Twins were my favorite band. Ohh how I wish that there was a time machine because I'd go back there in a hurry and never return!! ❤ 🎸 👍

      @@bradthurkle7217 I never stopped liking new music, the 80s were good, but get in to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, then modern life isn't so rubbish. I find lots of good new music now, just don't hear it on the radio.

      @@sharpvidtube yeah righto thats cool man. Loved the name of that band hehe i shall check them out. Look dont get me wrong i do like some artist today like The Week End, love Miley Cyrus and not becsuse shes pretty and all that just love her music. I hated the 90s it was like hiphop overload but some it was ok i mean i liked MMN and many more but god it was just to much how ever there was alot of good stuff that did come out of the 90s but i think like every decade ive noticed now music is just evolves. Like techno music which i dont mind acturly and county music its all changing and making its own genre. I do nown again just playing some classic classical music. These people that have spent all there life to profect an instrument and put them alltogether playing all of them is brilliant. Im really injoying stings concert on blue ray in my projctor screen with my surround sound set up in the shed lately its brilliant. You get a taste of everything.

      I loved their songs back in the 80s.
      Maybe hold me now refers to the original recordings.

    Saw the Thompson Twins (and Icehouse) support David Bowie June 1983 Edinburgh. Legendary!

      Was there also Paul. My brother did odd jobs for a promoter and we got free tickets.
      You got your value for money back then. Said brother had time to get a 38 bus home to make sandwiches and get back
      in time for Bowie. Legend!

    We need Joe and Allanah to come along one day and complete the trio. Tom left the band way too early, but we understand why he did so. One week a year working together would be fun! Hey Tom, I always thought Quickstep and Sidekick would make a great idea for a film.
