They look and sound great. Does anyone know if they will be touring the states? I missed them in the 80's and not sure how soon I can get back to Europe.

[garyzgal]

Sorry, no plans to come here to the States, so I'm going there.

[comeg]

Spandau Ballet is the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttt

W SPANDAU BALLET I LOVE YOUR MUSIC

[hnklondon]

Non ho parole, non ci sono vocabili che rendano giustizia... BRAVO TONY & CO.

[MaxxsMummy]

Thatnks for putting this up. I missed it on tv. I followed them when they first formed and played 'underground' gigs until they split. Seen them live four times and can't wait for the 5th in October - they've still got it!!!!!!

[Fantastic7Voyage]

Wow, they're actually quite good. Knowing only True and then hearing this...I'd go see them live. The singer's voice got so much better with age, doesn't sound so 80's anymore (which is good in my book). :o)

Congrats on the comeback!

[heavenward]

What a comeback!! Tony´s voice remains terrific!! and the rest of the band as well.

I´m not too impressed by the band´s first albums until TRUE, but from TRUE onwards those 4 albums were simply amazing and terrific, specially PARADE and of course the underrated HEART LIKE A SKY!! Hope they will play some songs from this album on the upcoming tour!!

Simply one of the best bands from the UK ever.

Greetings from Spain!

[celticjane2009]

Dublin is the capital of the Indepdendant Republic of Ireland. It is not a part of the UK. British Colonial Rule ended in 1923. Jonathan Ross has shown himself to be ignorant, insulting and derogatory of Irish culture on a number of occasions. Specifically with Dara O Briain when he reveals that Dara also speaks Gaeilge, the Irish Language.

[khalim12]

Whats wrong with revealing it?

[garyperkins07]

fantastic

[jibberjabberman]

this is actually a good song. flavorrrrrrrrrr

[colinlebon]

welcome back men

u sound bloody amazing

se u in liverpool in october.

[romtobbe]

Amazing, truly one of my favs since the early 80s. Wll go and see , though I live in Sweden and have kids these days.

[Hadleyholic]

They're even better now than they used to. I'm soooooooooo happy to see them together again. See you in October, guys! "We're Spandau Ballet, who the **** are you?" LOL

[AMBASSODOR]

Im sorry if th "TRUTH" Hurts.

[lemonexpress]

No no no no no! Hadley sang gold with ultimate cheesy cabaret style, please lads, leave it in the past, too many sad old women on here with no lives wanting to live back in the 80's!

[potcha68]

Spandau is really great performing live!!!

[BEALAVI]

you're my life since 1980...Tony you have my heart!!!

come in Rome...all the world's on the other side...cross the line!!!!!

[AMBASSODOR]

They are back together because there music is not selling anymore , like the majority of artsts today, because of down loading mp3 etc, Arist's make more money today performing live, Thats why there back together they need the money.

[omega1434]

Ok I agree they may need the money, however if they are that bad why did the O2 sell out so fast that they add 2 more dates? why are there so many positive threads about them all over the net? why are so many fans throughout the world, yes world elated right now and looking forward to the shows? you got it Spandau are back and we love them for it, money or not they are still awesome and the more mature sound is excellent. Thank you Spandau ballet for making many dreams come true especially mine!

[fiona333]

So what if they are doing it for the money? Everyone works at their job for the money. Why should musicians be any different? I love Madonna, but she tours because of all the money she makes. It doesn't matter as long as you put on a great show and are talented. Spandau sounds great so good luck to them.

[jiffijaffi]

not everybody is motivated by money...

[sallie76]

TRUEly fabulous, I don't care why they are doing it, I am just glad that they are:))) Any excuse to see more of Tony and I am a happy girl:))

[missiee71]

Go Stevie GO!!!!

[lucas5life]

brilliant come back! tony hadley still sings with passion... i hope they will make a new record soon!

[analog1672]

There you go kids...thats how it's done. Freakin' fantastic.

[carlosveloce]

great! thank you so much for posting this!

they sound amazing!

what a sound! briiliant.

[garyzgal]

Hey Carlos! Wasn't that simply amazing!

[carlosveloce]

hi garyzgal! it was superb! fantastic!

the new sound is brilliant and they look better than ever. sadly bbc cut gold in the end, hopefully they record new material.

i am looking forward to the tour - I´ll sit in the second row in dublin! will you come to europe? i don´t think that they´ll play in the states.

[garyzgal]

Yes, I'm seeing them in Birmingham! I cannot and will not let this pass me by!

[carlosveloce]

I just ordered tickets for amsterdam! yippie!

[Tirdfish]

cash in boys - any new songs written yet?

No, just cash in on old crap.

[thetalentedmrman]

what you talking about.

of course they have no new songs yet, theyv'e just reformed, you can't expect bands to have material straight away you know, it's not like that.

[Tirdfish]

Obviously you have failed to read what Kemp has said.

There is no new songs planned, after the tour there are no plans to write any.

It's all about money, The Police did the same.

[carlosveloce]

when did he say that??

[Tirdfish]

You're the big fan - go research it.

Also T.H has no intenion of recording with them after this areana tour.

You can give as many neg comments as you all like, their words not mine.

[carlosveloce]

ok, I believe you.

no recording is very sad (for me this means a bit that they are not friends or so again).

yeah, maybe same direction as the police.

but the last live dvd from police is good (sc is the man!).

[Tirdfish]

Reunions are a cash in, I think The Police grossed the highest income from theirs, if you're happy with old hits fine - no problem.

It's like Don Letts once said, reunions shouldn't happen, old men trying to recapture their youths just to top up their pension funds is fooling no one.

I think if bands reform they should not rely on old hits they should record new material or only reform for charity benefit gigs.

I personally don't think Hadley trusts GKemp after the royalty fiasco court case.

[garyzgal]

FANFUCKINGTASTIC!! THank you so much for putting this on here, am in the States and obviously don't get this show! THANK YOU!!!!

[omega1434]

thank you for putting this on so quickly it was amazing after all these years they are still the best. October at the O2 can't come quick enough for me. Awesome, amazing and holy WOW!!!!!
