Spandau Ballet Through the barricades(Live TOTP)

[STEVEMOR909]

Great song but this one is a lip sync!

[walkingonthemoon]

why is the best part of the song cut off?! :(

[113bowie]

Tony Hadley is gorgeous!!!!!

[asha7777777]

Gary wrote it about his friend who grew up in Northern Ireland after he told him of his experience

[asha7777777]

yes Gary wrote it about his friend from Northern Ireland after he told him about his life growing up around the troubles

[1969atam]

From way back when music was music! Not RNB beatbox jive that makes you leave the shop/room/bar/HMV when it booms outta the radio. Just wondering who Coldplay, (another attack :]) Snow Patrol, Beyonce, B.E.P., Justin Bieber, etc will have an influence on! Nobody and music will die out! HA! HA!

[113bowie]

One of my favourite songs EVER.....

[misogdiz]

This is the best song ever

[kicsim73]

The greatest song of Spans.

[NELSONROB1964]

possibly the best spandau song ever

[NELSONROB1964]

possibly the best spandau song ever

[TheBibleMadePlain]

[PiAnt2007]

Hmm cheers mate, but where's the rest of it?

(Sorry if it's been asked before.)

[bellajrmorgado]

[MsPink68]

GARY KEMP IS THE BRAINS BEHIND ALL THE HITS OF SPANDAU. I LOVE U GARY FOR WRITING GREAT SONGS FOR YOUR GREAT BAND. I LOVE SPANDAU BALLET

[mattyjolly]

[titiantorment]

[MrLucyball]

Classic song on TOTP. Great to see them back together.Hope to see them play in Spain soon......

[DaveyKrechtner]

[MrSunnyfriday]

DaveyKrechtner...absolutely...­early 80...been copied so many times

[synballein70]

Hardly anyone sung live

[switchbandit]

[ColumRogers]

This song should be appreciated more than it is.

[stardustgirl1000]

[pickles000005]

[ritchie69]

reminds me of this beautiful intelligent curly haired brunette who lives in south london ...................stunning like this song ..................

[melende1966]

1986

[fullimmerzion]

This is the most beautiful, touching, inspirating song that was ever written. Thanks to the wonderful lyrics by Gary Kemp, the wonderful voice of Tony Hadley, Spandau Ballet told us an important story: the barricades, the insides of our lives, if we want it desperately can be resolved. The atmopshere also was very, very beautiful... Is it like if you feel a fresh breath of air in a sunny morning: the morning of the incredible gift that our Life is.

[asha7777777]

I have their dvd where gary & martin kemp talk throughout a live performance of one of their gigs and when through the barricades came on, gary spoke of how upon hearing his friends lifestory being born in Belfast during the troubles was the inspiration for him to write the songs. 'Born on different sides of life' - catholic/prodestant. 'So come to me when Im asleep, we'll cross the line and dance upon the street' - refering to the divide in the community between unionists & republicans

[eloisesucks14]

Wow,

[asha7777777]

This song is one of spandau's best. Its about the troubles in Northern Ireland

[getzls]

Ah, but is it about N. Ireland? I think not

[gankball]

I'm a relublic of Ireland Spandau fan and love this, Aswel as Simple Minds Belfast Chil, U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday and Orbital Belfast ..... Ahh why can't we all just bury the hatchet, i want to live in London ....... Beside a Lido, and a few 80s stars lol

[jounimika]

Hi

How come you can say that. I am a foreigner if I would see the lyrics i would perhaps understand, or not

[BoltonLoyal]

@asha7777777 You sure?

[telboyirish]

@asha7777777 Youre right,its one of the few songs which actually make "sense"of the troubles,it reflects what i went through as a young man in N.Ireland

[coanta069]

[bohemiatotal]

[indeednads]

Kemp brothers shafted the band members.

Two pricks who didnt share the rewards.

Listen to Hadleys voice he brought Garys songs to life!!!!!!!

[musfreak]

Really love this one, great lyrics, well performed...

Allthough i´m mostly to rock music, this one is touchy...

beautiful

[SumnerMurrayRedstone]

Faggots.

[petermcf1968]

If they are they're proud of the fact, as am I - you can't hurt us with words like that - we own those words already. Go away you boring person your threats are nothing.

[davidtat2d]

the shivers up my spine have got shivers up their spines!!!!!

[quicksilver690]

me acuerdo de las guachonas del colegio, que tiempos no...

[NorthernFella]

such a great track! Their best I think.

[chachopai]

pero que ochentoso...!

[dowling1981]

Nos dices la verdad amigo! cual es tu cancion preferida?

[ianstronach]

Beautifull song

[stewartcopulate]

great song, great group. saw them in 1989 at the NEC - very disappointing live.

[maynardmorris]

YOU HAVE TO CREDIT GARY ON THE spanish g dont ya

[utegerdspielen]

look at my cover it isnt the best its true but i wanna know what u think about it ..

[ml2001]

This and "TRUE" are the two best I voted.

[Duke1966]

;) I watched them twice live '87 (through the barricades tour) and 1989 heart like a sky

[hugznkizzez07]

i luv it! thanks for sharing this video.

[slomiro]

One of the most powerfull songs of the 80's. Great piece of art. I'm glad to listen it after quite a time. Can't hear anybody. Pumped up the volume. ;)

[hollywood231512]

in my opinion,it´s their best song!!!

[barglancy]

This is a Romeo & Juliet-style love story set in Northern Ireland. A boy and a girl, one a Catholic and one a Protestant, betray their families and their upbringing to meet on the bomb sites and the no-man's land between divided communities. The setting is given away by the drum and pipe marching music, so reminiscent of the parades mentioned in the second chorus. The "Hearts go to their graves," but it is not clear whether this refers metaphorically to the end of the affair or a suicide pact.

[brucewayne05]

is not playback cause Hadley sing marking the vocals

[PaTryWaPa]

PLAYBACK

[ligiapl]

this is their best song :)

[jarbon5]

To me, their best song is "Gold". That song is so awesome. I can't get enough of that song. It's the coolest!

[Craze21AD]

Yup him and his lovely brother :-D

[bestestfriends4eva]

i had no idea martin kemp was in this band omg i love it

[deanriam]

playback... sucks!

[viker173]

My fave song from this Band....

[RagmanLFC]

it was there best tune............great to be an 80s kid

[katebush1985]

Nice to see this version of Through The Barricades! Why does this video say it's a #02 hit? On www.everyhit.com it's highest chart possition is #06. Hmm... Something to sort out again haha. Thanks for uploading!

[Stamford1969]

The "2" refers to the show "Top of the Pops 2", which features clips of older hits. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/totp2/

[katebush1985]

Oh, hahah, thanks! I was very confused about it.

[Craze21AD]

That is a really good quality vid :D Gary Kemp is soooooooo sexy! :-D

[louisemay7]

Ooh, this is one of my fave Spandau Ballet songs! (and it's good quality stream, as well :)
