One of my favourite songs from one of the best albums of the eighties - and Jools piano solo is amazing !

[wowmedialtd]

As a 52 yr old chap, I'm not ashamed to say that I was weeping throughout this track during the Alexandra Palace show. Anyone else have that reaction?

[wowmedialtd]

For 35 years, this has always been my 'warm up" song for almost every pivotal life moment. For exams, job interviews, the morning of days my 3 kids were born, project bids, big events, the most important days. Music has power, and for me, this track is the best confidence charge-up and has never let me down. Thanks Matt...and Jools. ps. I love the annecdote about this track and lunch in your book.

Jools piano and his contributions on the song and his show is my kind of music entertainment-- like Austin City Limits!!

I saw Matt in 93 (with Johnny Marr) at Liverpool Academy, superb gig from the Dusk album, ahh...memories of youth.

[jolyonkeegan]

An all time fave and anthem for my life! Jools Holland’s piano on the song on the Soul Mining album always mesmerising.

Saw The The 2 nights ago in Auckland. D C Collard on keyboards. Brilliant.

[Captain-l-p]

Seen the The on mind bomb tour, Glastonbury and ensouled in September this year.
Love the The since school days when a friend gave me a cassette with soul mining one side and burning blue soul on the other.never looked back, with me since I was a teenager in the 80s.

[Groundedsquirrel]

Sounds just as great now as it did in 1987 (and just learning it came out in 83, what a concept)

[davewilson]

How can this performance be over 30 years ago? And may I add that in the last 40 years this has been played thousands of times by me and this piano solo never fails to make me happy.

[breakit]

Jools did you proud, my god he can play and then some, like The The.

[guillaumemarty]

[TeresaDelgado-micz]

At 61 years old i still enjoy it só much its part of my Youth ❤❤❤❤❤

[simonemueller]

Thank you very much for giving this to me because this is priceless❤

[grizcuz]

I wonder if this is the only time Jools has played on a tune on his TV show where he's also played on the actual record? [Not including the songs he's done with his own band or Squeeze].

[Old_Scot]

I preferred Later With Jools Holland without a studio audience. Just musicians trying to impress their peers. Tremendous.
