Spandau Ballet Veronica's Rocknight 23 sep 1983

Spandau Ballet Veronica's Rocknight 23 sep 1983
This performance of Spandau Ballet was broadcasted during Veronica's Rocknight on 23 sep 1983.

Sorry for the poor quality; originally recorded on Betamax, later converted to VHS (meanwhile worn-out), in 2009 converted to dvd and in 2009 uploaded to YouTube. At the start of 2019, these videos (then a separate video per track) were deleted for unknown reasons. Because Veronica itself no longer has the original footage, it has just been re-uploaded.

In januari 2025 I've subtitled the first 2 songs - as an experiment - for the sing-along-ers amongst us.

Have fun!

Tony has everything a great frontman should have; a fantastic voice, a lot of charisma and damn good looks ❤❤❤

Thanks for this! I remember watching this concert on MTV with my mother. They didn't put cable television in my bedroom only in theirs and the living room. I was in high school and playing sax in band. Spandau Ballet, Duran, and INXS were among my favorite bands. My mother came to love them as well. She loved Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran because she loved how well dressed they were. Great show some 40+ years later. 👌

No words ! What a performance wooow !!!!

[rosebud]

Best version of True Tony has ever sung! Gave me chills! Love it!

[MrFreud]

Spandau were at their peak here. Great memories.

[j.schermer]

They really didn‘t need backing singers. Tony was (and is) perfectly capable of doing the vocal on his own.

Tony Hadley..most beautiful man alive 💙💙

Asu según la descripción este concierto es del viernes 23 de setiembre del 83 fue justo el día en que nací, me hubiese gustado nacer antes y haber disfrutado esta magnífica década musical, los 80s son insuperables.

I never appreciated how damn good the musicianship in this band was/is. The bass, guitar and drums are just so tight.

[giannivitello]

Bedankt voor het posten !, een van de beste Spandau Ballet live concerten ooit. Nog net niet op het hoogtepunt van hun roem. Steengoed dit. Dat niemand dit op Blu Ray uitbrengt is onbegrijpelijk

[mr.balloffur]

Thanks for posting, this was awesome!
