Go West Live featuring Alan Murphy 1987 - part 1 of 4

Go West in concert as part of the Runaway Train tour promoting the "Dancing on the Couch" album. This is the second incarnation of the live band - the core remains Peter Cox, Richard Drummie and Alan Murphy but now with Pete Adams (keyboard), Jaz Lochrie (bass) and Jimmy Copley (drums).

I know a lot of fans feel the first line up was best but these guys are totally on it - they're superb players and as tight as a gnats crotch here!

Part One song list:
. SOS (very uncharacteristic couple of errors by Alan here but who cares!)
. True Colours
. Chinese Whispers

Please remember this has been captured from a VHS tape that is now nearly 25 years old so forgive the glitches/graininess and the fact that Chrysalis didn't put a bloody HiFi track on it! Enjoy...

Brilliant to see this stuff - having an 80s binge right now. Alan was incredible... And Peter Cox - outstanding singer!

Alan was so gifted !! His playing still makes my hair stand up on end

Thanks for posting this video. I remember seeing this concert on MTV but missed part of the concert. This was one of the best concerts I have seen from Go West. They were one of the best and most underrated groups from the 80's. These are "real" musicians!!
