Go West - King Of Wishful Thinking - TOTP - 1990

[@kat8956]

It’s 2023 - my 38 year old self and 8 and 6 year old kids jam to this song every day. I will NEVER stop loving it. This guy has an incredible voice.

[@jessicasturgis5991]

38 - with 9 & 7 year olds 😅 bringing all the good stuff back!! 🤘🏼 I lucked out…. This one, Genesis- I Can’t Dance , Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams Come True are all our “vibe songs”. 😂

[@Totalavulsion]

Amazing they sung this live. Not an easy one to perform!

[@siegfridbautista5591]

This is my favorite song however look at the rythm section no wires at all in their musical instruments😁😁😁, its a bad publicity nowadays if the production did that act, im a musician too, im sure the rythm section does not favor this.. only they let it happens for exposure and promotion

[@brewjim105]

Try playing it on the saxophone

[@boundwings]

Definitely only live main vocals over a backing track 😢

[@AB-wr8vl]

If you think this is good,GO and experience Go West LIVE!👌🏽👍🏽

[@BLANKSYBLANKSY]

Best go get up song! My constant companion between break ups from the 90’s to the present. What a life I’ve had!

[@TheDasanova]

It so beautiful with not a fkin one mobile phone ❤they smashed it live man you won't see that often anymore

[@stray88]

I've always been in love with the 1990 aesthetic. I think because it's the first year I have strong memories of.

[@een_que7145]

Handsome man.

[@charlotteforbes4614]

Totally 💯

[@disfibulator]

Every time I get wowed even though I know what's coming because HE REALLY SOUNDS LIKE THAT. Great voice, great song. I used to think of it as a guilty pleasure song, but we are past that and can admit this is a jam.

[@Hidihidihidiho]

For sure! This song was stuck in my 10 year old head in 1997 until 2003 when I realized I could just Google the pretty woman soundtrack to find out the name and artist. F guilty pleasures. If it lasts it’s good. Ps - I self edited 4 f-words from the 3 sentences above

[@stevemrmusic9-zs7zs]

It’s an outstanding song and it has an outstanding music video.

[@bigd8812]

He sounds great live

[@dazzapod]

Go west are great! 👍

[@stargazeronesixseven]

1990?! Wow , that's 33 years ago in Feb2023! Still sounding Good! Love this Everlasting Uplifting Song from Go West of 1990! Thank You So Much for sharing! 🌷🌿🌏💜🕊

[@Charlie-qc6su]

Lots of energy in this performance, it's great.

[@scrapyardwarriorvlogging]

Peter’s really grooving at 1:58 😊

[@bronson2216]

Great voice, without playback, amazing.

[@jumu446]

Fantastic live performance, from one of my favourite mid-80s groups. TOTP was must watch TV every week during the late 80s and early 90s, and, its a shame we don't have it any longer.

[@Clairetomlinson88]

They don't make music good enough anymore!

[@stevemrmusic9-zs7zs]

This song has one of the best music videos you will EVER see. ⭐️

[@ogilroy30]

Might be the best live performance I’ve ever seen

[@jonathanjackson2587]

This shows just how good Peter Cox's voice is,he's got a unique tone, strong vocals,can't deny this guy can SING 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jman2005]

Yep. Someone who totally owned their craft and brought it with each performance

[@hesssabine4364]

[@chrisaston4793]

They are so good Peter voice top notch

[@alanwagen]

Such a great great song. Lyrics and melody, it has it all.

[@1971ironmike]

Fantastic. Love the trumpets.

[@caiosales2116]

What a live performance!!!!!

[@EnvixityXx363]

I love this performance and this song!! So 90s and so nostalgic!!

[@paulinec.8102]

Still love this

[@mag72780]

Great song

[@SynthMusicX]

A GREAT live performance!

[@milodelcampo2971]

Its lipsynced like every other performance on this show

[@thesneakuk9084]

These aren't the studio vocals to this track, I think he's singing live here

[@codaze]

@@milodelcampo2971 I think there is a vague vocal backing track there but he's singing for real here. No lipsync

[@bwm5150]

@@milodelcampo2971 in the 90’s they started doing more performance with a live vocal to the actual backing track. This is a live vocal but with the backing vocals and instruments still from the actual track.

[@jugomebu]

Liveish. Lead vocals totes were, everything else, nope, studio recorded.

[@andylopez7354]

Stewie: Now for some recent history, this is the 1990's Go West: And I tell myself, I'm over you, cause I'm the king of wishful thinking (king of wishful thinking)

[@janeporter818]

Love Go West!❤️❤️❤️

[@ellavaderknows]

Biker shorts and mom jeans. Ah, the 80's!

[@user-ok7km2qx5x]

Great Live show!

[@tonyincidis]

Superb unassisted live performance!

[@grahamwhittam9243]

Absolutely amazing

[@twiff3rino28]

DX7 and D-50 sound about right for 1990. EDIT: those synths aren't even plugged in to the power outlet 😔

[@spfadden082711]

Wow so good!

[@bitsyboo1278]

From my fave movie

Hollywood??!!! What's your dream??? What's your dream???

That FANNY PACK.

A love TOTP performance when it wasn't regular to see, and he sounded amazing.

[@susannaverde1124]

WoW ❤❤❤

[@mag72780]

No more music like this anymore

My first big city trip 2005

[@nicolasvenegas1010]

woooowwwww

[@CarlPoppa-wg3rr]

if he did the dance from the video the whole time 10/10

[@siege-79]

👌🏾

[@factor1181]

This sounds so 80's

[@jrjubach]

Did she seriously just cut them off?

[@Sandbachian]

Does anyone happen to know who the female backing singer is in this Top of the Pops performance?

[@Hertfordshire247]

He always looks like he is about to smack someone straight in the face. Bit like a Simpsons riot.

[@metube3489]

Live vocals over pre recorded music. Thats karaoke not a live performance

[@jefffaust89]

A lot or should I say most of the Top Of The Pops performances were either lip sync or sung with the pre recorded album vocal. That’s why I don’t really listen to any of them. Those performances were strictly done for promotion purposes only. Did u notice how they were cut off near the end?

[@meganmonroe8446]

With Moren getting octupused 😍

[@Me-ji2pn]

I thought totp was lip syncing?

[@loren5051]

Great singer. Great song... Depressing as hell. Gorgeous man. His wife left him, as I understand. Maybe he was/is a closet asshat? Or she was/is?

[@MelMelok]

Whaaat? Don't think he was ever married, you must be thinking of someone else? But, yep, he's such a great singer & is gorgeous, agreed!

[@loren5051]

@@MelMelok Yup... My bad. Wrong Peter Cox. After a bit more research, my error was manifest. Just goes to show how easy it can be to get ones data wrong.

[@delesdog]

I don’t know how he has the nerve. Minimum of three black background vocals at all times.

[@ArcDevErik]

?

[@mattgreen5720]

That’s a dumb comment.

[@alanfulcher460]

???? I see one backup singer & she looks vaguely middle eastern

[@martyman0077]

Wishing Thanos could snap me to this time period.
