Whatever the case live or not, they were one of the best British Bands of the 80's. I remember their Into the Gap album from which this song has been taken. It was RAGING HOT in 1984 and I happened to be in London to see how really huge they were. 5 stars from my side as well.....
I love TOTP. Whenever I have a choice between the video or TOTP I choose the later. Thanks for uploading it. And sorry about the idiot cutting off your rat tail.
Hell...I was 14 and I had a rat's tail haircut! Everybody teased me about it, but I didn't give a rat's ass about it!! LOL Totally into the 80's again...what a time for music!!!
great band, horribly tedious poprock chorus, weak lyrics, good synths. was still infinitely better than the horrific hold me now. The Gap should have been a single. My guess is the record company didn't want it?
The Gap was actually released in America as a single. Although it stalled on the pop charts (#69) with no accompanying video, it was featured on Saturday Night Live in late 1984.
@chrisnoaro1 thanks, good to hear, I love it. I guess the subject matter made it appropriate for release in the US, because I would have thought it wasn't that suited to US radio at the time, being more hardcore synthpop than much of the album. cheers
Really good set! fthat's a British song show in the 80's they pulled out all the stops, and that's how the done it back then! a full set with what ever instruments they needed!
uhhh, pretty sure that was a lip sink special. The music is great and so was the look, classic 80's on acid. The band also seemed to be in the spirit so I still gave it 5 stars.

Live? no it's "Live". I'll bet they couldn't sound like that if their "Live"s depended
on it... without sampling, sequencing etc. etc. What's the point?
