No sequencers, no backing track, no in ear monitors- simply a great band playing a great song. So good. 👌🏻

Wouldn't it be good if they still made music like this?

I saw Nik Kershaw perform this song live once. It was this performance. I was there. I was with my Mum and Dad to Nik's left near the Royal Box. Live Aid was the most magical day of my life. I still have my ticket stub and programme. I so miss tese days.

There is something magic, special, almost incredible, in the 80's and no one can deny that !

The 80s was such a magical decade and I’m so very blessed to have been a part of it .

I constantly tell my children how magical the 80’s were. They are beginning to understand and agree with me! God bless Gen X!!!🥰

The 80s spoiled us. Proof.
I make this comment each and every time I find a song that proves my point. Nik is live for crying out loud.

The 80's were some of the best years of my life but at the time I wasn't fully aware of just how great those years were. I'd love to go back the 80's and appreciate them for the fantastic times that they were.

Wouldn't It Be Good if we had a time machine :) I'd go back to the 80's & never come back.

wouldn't it be good if every July 13th, all the radio stations/music-streaming sites in the entire planet will play only '80s music?

3:00 the whole stadium singing along with him and millions more on the TV screen on this hot summers day - it must be one of the greatest moments in his professional life.

Spandau Ballet, Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw the list is just endless. Wasn't the 80s a great era for pioneering revolutionary music. This was one of my favourites, a lot of young people listen to Nik these days and enjoy his music as much as we did.
