Great Music ! I love Dexys Midnight Runners Geno had number one for 2 weeks In May 1980 first live in June 1979,
@DaronWoodward Bands didn't play live on TOTP in 1980. They would usually re-record the track to comply with Musician Union rules and then mime to it - especially apt as the musicians here weren't playing on the original record. If they're playing live, then what are the guitars plugged into? Thin air? Where's the mics for the brass section?
So actually, they're not playing live here. I am not a loony - I just know my shit.
