Mick lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late '90s. So while the recording might be from 1981, the broadcast is from a much later date.

Funny to see them wearing 'Tin Drum' era smart suits and sporting perfect hair while performing a song that was pretty old for them at this point. I wonder if they were happy to be promoting old material. Anyway, great clip. Mick, you won't be forgotten.......your music lives on in our hearts.

lol@the pop up calling him 'oriental' bass player.

R.I.P., Mick =/

It's a TOTP2 clip from 8 years ago when Mick was 44 - the original TV appearance happened in 1981.
