I still love this song to death and every other songs on their 1st album and this is an excellent live version.I really like Paul's sets of synths and stacks of equipments,good to see him still using a Korg Micro Preset on stage in 1985.Their recent gears on stage, just two Roland Fantom X8.Very smart but visually very boring compared to what they had on stage back in the 80's.
Anybody else out there have the OMD error 45rpm? The label says Red Frame/White light and the B.side says I Betray my Friends but instead plays Martha and the Muffins-Echo Beach?
Simply one of the great songs of the early 80s from one of the greatest electronic bands ever. Flashback to Dublin's National Stadium end 84 or early 85.
I do remember this song, I joined the new wave dance contest in my high school (that was in 1980) and I used this stuff and I've got the 2nd place...thanks Andy.
From June 1985, from the Sheffield City Hall. I originally uploaded this last year, with the rest of the show. Youtube removed it. So yeah goodluck in keeping it on here.
Now, this is music.......

how is this so good? oh i can say more
this song takes me away to another place
beyond the distant mountain pass
shangri-la glowing golden in the sun
afternoon parades and midnight masquarades
inscense rising in the pink and blue moonlight

The first band I've seen in concert as a teenager. It was in 1980 or 81. A great memory.

I had to see them open for the Thomson twins just to see them in Toronto in 85. It should have been the other way round.
