Thompson Twins - Watching

Thompson Twins performing Watching from the album Quick Step and Side Kick, on an unknown TV programme. Must be around 1983. If anyone remembers the TV programme, I'd love to know!

Yes thats me in the back at the very beginning and also Boris Williams on drums. Andrew Bodnar on bass, an amazing player. This was a TV show called The Switch, it was my first TV appearance and also on the same show Sade. She was so excited she was crying and phoned her Mum. it was the Summer of 1983

Probably not their most famous song, but definitely my favourite, and one of their best (in my opinion). Thanks for posting.

This was the one that did it for me - massive fan after hearing this - clearly the best song of 1983. I even had 3 earrings in my left ear and a false ponytail - my mum wouldn't let me shave my hair like Alannah!!!!! Aaahh the good old days!!!!!!

I always thought Alannah always looked like a female Martin Gore

A very tight loud sound

Saw them in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1984! Amazing show. the percussion was the best!
