Takes me back, wish I could beam myself to 1981 again.

people should go back to dancing like that ... nightclubs would be much more entertaining if they did

That is CERTAINLY 1981, I was into Heavy Rock at the time and didn't like DD. That was until Rio came along and that all changed...

@stevesattlerfilms Actually you can tell it's from 1981 because the fact of how they're dressed! And by the time of 1983 or 84 they were too bit go play on a stage like this!

Get ready for summer !... Brrr. Weather looks a bit cloudy that day in Manchester ! Was it in the morning ? Great hour for a performance of DD ! As I live in France and was 8 in '81, this video looks really exotic compared to my TV memories of that time ! Thanks for the upload. Splendid ! I LOVE IT !

Hi, John Adrenochrome here, (the uploader). It was definitely 1981... I should know... I recorded it!
And besides, any student of the 80's would know that by 83 or 84 all the New Romantics had gone. Me and my friends had certainly moved on.
Also, by 83 or 84, DD would have been promoting stuff like - Is there Something I Should Know.

If this is live, I'm Sancho Panza.

They weren't playing their instruments live, but the performance was nevertheless live, in that it went out over the air as it happened. i.e. not pre-recorded and then broadcast later, like so many shows were at that time. John Adrenochrome.
