Adam Ant - Apollo Nine RARE 1986 on Dick Clark

Here is Adam Ant performing "Apollo 9" on The Dick Clark Show (American Bandstand). What a great front man!

Are you sure this was 1986? The album came out in 1985 (and this song was a hit in the UK in 1984). By 1986 the promotion of the album was over and Adam was widely reported to have quit music for acting (he denied this and in fact was privately working on songs for 1990s Manners and Physique in '86). The Ant/Marco/Wiczling/De Niro band was dissolved by this point - Wiczling and DeNiro had formed Friends Of Jack, while Adam had to recruit an ad-hoc band (including ex Ant Terry Lee Miall and ex Sex Pistol Steve Jones) for his appearance on NBC's Disney Summer Vacation in 1986.

Hmm... well I can tell you that I recorded it from TV in 1986 with a VHS recorder. It could very well possibly be that the show was a re-run.

80s music was brilliant!

Watching the dancers, this is music that EVERYONE can dance to, whatever your race, gender and creed...that is just something else.

I don't have a clue how the women in the audience didn't rush the stage for Adam. I'm gazing upon my monitor like a loon. LOL

Rare? It's the studio version.

They replaced the audio... I take it when people do that to live shows.
