Spandau Ballet are not a boy band of the past, they are good musicians (for pop music standards) as someone said, they had great ideas for live and they stay on stage with a lot of personality. Note the absence of any sequencers or oversampling (Keeble plays without any headphone). It's pure live, and you can listen it in the hoarse voice of Tony, not at top in this live but however great as ever (so if I remember well, How Many Lies in this video was resinged for the video version in 1987) and when he's forgetting the words in the Gold introduction. Everything pure live. A real rock band. The very cheap DVD "Live From The N.E.C." released on 2005 is very explicative. I've tried to summarize the first half of Spandau Ballet concert "Live From The N.E.C." recorded 1986 for the Through The Barricades Tour, in 10 minutes. I hope you like it. Great band, great dvd, I suggest to buy it if you can (at www.hmv.com it costs 6,99 £, around 8 euro). The second part will follow as soon as possible. p.s. What a beautiful song "With the pride", in every version.
Gli Spandau Ballet non sono, come qualcuno erroneamente ha dichiarato, una boy band del passato. Erano ottimi musicisti (per gli standard pop si intende) ed avevano un sacco di idee sapendo tenere benissimo il palco. Da notare l'assenza di sequencer o di campionamenti (Keeble è senza cuffie), è tutto puro live. Lo si vede anche dalla voce rauca di Tony, non al massimo in questa serata ma comunque grandissimo (infatti, se ricordo bene, la voce su How Many Lies fu riregistrata per farne il video nel 1987) così come quando sta per scordarsi le parole nell'intro di Gold. Una grande rock band dal vivo. Il DVD, davvero economico, "Live From The N.E.C." pubblicato nel 2005 e risalente al concerto dell'1986 per il Through The Barricades Tour, è esemplificativo di queste loro capacità. Se vi capita compratelo. Io l'ho pagato circa 8 euro su www.hmv.com. La seconda parte seguirà appena possibile. ps. Che canzone meravigliosa "With the pride" in qualsiasi versione si faccia.

Thanks Edduay, I saw this show in 1986 so I'm very attached to it. I like very much the part2, more rock. And With The Pride is one of my favourite SB tracks.
