goodgrr, thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much for this video. This was a really cool band back in the 80's and helped frame my musical youth. I love the line: "Well I hope and I pray, that maybe someday, you'll walk in the room with my heart." So cool.
still say this is one of the nicest tracks ive ever heard,along with wonderful life by black.brilliant¬thanks for posting this looked a great concert.
NO I WONT BE TOLD ,THERES A CROCK OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW - OR PLEASURE AND PAIN,SUNSHINE AND RAIN MIGHT MAKE THIS LOVE GROW -FUCKIN CLASSIC LYRICS !
Martin's vocals are so good I almost wondered if he was lipsynching. I know he wasn't, but man are his pipes amazing. This album was released how long ago? That he can still do this is impressive.
agreed - this is still my fav song ever. strings always gets me - Perfect pop. Based on the VH1 Band reunited prog. Mark White doesnt want to get involved
Wow what a great evening Thanks for posting such a wicked video mine was rubbish !! Tears and memories came flooding back after seeing the original concert back in 1983 at the Poole Arts Centre.... i was going to bring my original tour programme again for Martin Fry & David Palmer to sign.But left it at home , what a missed opportunity !
Fry has a lot of charisma on stage. Great singer.

Fry`s vocals remain under estimated ,very complex melody construction,not for wussy singers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

@Phiezer ha that's a good one.
Even when i play the song on guitar nowadays people don't realize how good the song is.

My favourite song of all time. Gutted I couldn't make this concert. I watched ABC in Nov '82 and have been a fan ever since.
