Go West Live featuring Alan Murphy 1987 - Part 2 of 4

Go West in concert as part of the Runaway Train tour promoting the "Dancing on the Couch" album. This is the second incarnation of the live band - the core remains Peter Cox, Richard Drummie and Alan Murphy but now with Pete Adams (keyboard), Jaz Lochrie (bass) and Jimmy Copley (drums).
I know a lot of fans feel the first line up was best but these guys are totally on it - they're superb players and as tight as a gnats crotch here!
Part Two song list:
. Eye to Eye
. Little Ceasar (watch out for Murphy getting on the keys to deliver a brass line!)
. Missing Persons
Please remember this has been captured from a VHS tape that is now nearly 25 years old so forgive the glitches/graininess and the fact that Chrysalis didn't put a bloody HiFi track on it! Enjoy...

I dont care how old this is man just listen to the musicianship

[@geezlouisshamona]

Right? You think about these guys, Tears for Fears (live), Level 42, Bourgeois Tagg, Sting... I mean, they were like legit fusion musicians.. Probably not gonna hear that again for a while on the radio

[@macpdm]

@@geezlouisshamona completely agree its about the money now. UK artists like Jacob Collier are the exception in my opinion

[@davecoalwood9487]

Brilliiant eh Mate?

@@geezlouisshamona Shame Mate eh. It was fucking brilliant though. Massive Level and Go West fan here. 👍.

Wow. I remember going to this concert. I was 16. I had the massivest crush on Pete. I was so jealous of the backing singers!! Memory lane...

[@scotmus]

[@oldschool1928]

Eye to Eye...that's one of my favorite jams from this group.

[@edsmart5801]

The golden era for pop music

[@edsmart5801]

Never been one since

[@DJR6546]

Eye to Eye...one of my all time favorites! For some reason, I think about a cold October night watching the last of the leaves falling with just dim street lights shining upon them. I guess it's just the artist in me seeing images set to music. :-)

[@Rodrigo.Acosta]

Drummers listen at 0:56 and 2:30 great as allways , RIP Jimmy Copley

[@davecoalwood9487]

Great live. They put a cracking Band together. Good on You Pete, Rich and Al.

I've been looking for this video for 24 years! Thank you sooooo much for posting.

Good times...They are so talented Top songwriters ~

[@yunoyuluvit]

Initially, I was never a huge fan of 'Missing Persons' as kid, but the live version really turned me onto it.

[@davecoalwood9487]

I know what You mean. Skipped it a bit on the album then saw this concert on BBC 2 one Saturday Afternoon back in the day and had a different opinion. 👍

[@eddiecousinsjr]

The break in Eye to Eye where he does all his warbling over the 'your love' is absolutely magic with some awesome chord transpositions. One for the musos!!

[@jdee8267]

Amazing harmonies in this

[@jcmgt]

A great 'capture' so glad I found this, so many personal memories for me.

[@chriscaban4609]

Beat version of SOS I've heard, needs to be released on bluray and mp3

[@smashmash]

I've been searching for years for the laserdisc to pull a stereo mix off. Rare as hens teeth!

Great piano solo in Missing Persons. Those fingers can play

Awesome shit!!... Massively under-rated... Love the love-shit from a man's point of view.... So rare, indeed!!

peter cox and richard drummie of go west are great

[@RealStevenBanks]

I agree with all comments. Thank you. Love Go West.

[@garywalker7461]

The fantastic jimmy copley on drums

[@aplleyva]

So sorry not to ever have seen them live. Esp being in the States

[@Shad3251]

@hsnterprize I think the concert version was dubbed the Credibility Mix - available on a vinyl picture disc. The concert version of True Colours is also available as "Snake Charmer Mix"

[@dheerajbw]

For as brilliant as the tracks Masque of Love, Baltimore to Paris(their best if I were to choose), and Crossfire of their album DOTC were, I'm never able to fathom why they wouldn't have ever performed the three of them on stage. Just Why?

[@davecoalwood9487]

Every act on You Tube has someone commenting that They were unappreciated..fair enough...but if ever that was true it is This lot...

[@HarlinNeal]

I never knew there was another version of "Eye To Eye" for the longest time. I remember the version that was on their U.S. released "Go West" album back in 1985, and it was laid out differently than this version.

[@eddiecousinsjr]

yeah this 12inch version with the cool fake first chorus is brilliant, so glad they did it like this live.

[@davecoalwood9487]

Superb Band

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

wonderful!

[@garycorrigan5541]

Pete Adams is good but Eye to Eye kyboards lacks bite....he's no Peter John Vitesse who recorded the original and featured on the Tube in 1985 on his JP8

[@eddiecousinsjr]

Och he is still pretty amazing for this iteration, I love Vitesse also!

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

Any chance the percussionist is Laura Creamer?

[@davecoalwood9487]

Should of been massive. The bollocks.
