Bummer the quality isn't better, it even has the bleep at 14 seconds in. Sounds as if it was dubbed from a cassette. But other than that, it's the only version on Youtube so thanks for posting.
Its hot in the city, tonight. I love the sound of the keyboard starting at 00:36. you don't hear keyboards sound like that anymore. Screw todays music. I love 80s keyboard.
This is not the version from Vital Idol; the intro and the ending are the same, but the "New York" line is not in the Vital Idol version, and it appears here.
Yeah, this is the "right" Version: The "Booker"-Version of '87. I prefer it much more than the '82-Version. Love this song! And also as soundtrack it was stunning!
He released a new album in 2005 called Devils Playground. Then he toured Europe in 2005. I think he will tour again soon and is working on new stuff with Steve Stevens (original guitarist)
... just a great video and a terrific song ... Thanks

I soooo remember this song as the opening to the short lived FOX TV show Booker with Richard Greico (spin-off from 21 Jumpstreet).
Thanx for the memories!

The groove is kinda like a punked up version of Bruce Springsteen's "10th Avenue Freeze Out" Love the bass and synths

Impressive production on this remix. I played this often back in the day. Sounded fantastic on a big club system, esp the keyboards.
