Spandau Ballet 2009 - Video intro, Reformation tour, London

Reunited after 19 years, the five former schoolmates in Spandau Ballet remind us of the very different band they were in 1980. A video montage opens each show on the Reformation tour showing how they emerged from an era of recession and unemployment as electro-pop leaders of the New Romantics movement. They made it hip to play fresh sexy pop music in a landscape dominated by corporate adult-oriented rock groups...

@maryamzadeh1 - Hi Mary - I think you mean you just saw Tony Hadley and his own band perform in Hollywood! Big difference from the original Spandau Ballet line-up who reformed to tour 2009-10.
