thanh mai this entire album was pretty good honestly. They just never got the proper air play. Too bad. I mean look at New Order, one of the best (THE BEST) bands from that era. They didn't even get a lot of radio play.

Every single musician in this performance is a joy to watch and listen to. The drums slap, the song and melody are perfect, the bass groves, both guitars do perfect rhythm and lead, they keyboards are classic. They seem to really enjoy the song and playing it together. The mix and production are S tier.

This is a wonderful relatively recent original performance of a song from 1982. I rediscovered the song on radio during Christmas 2016 while traveling. As a traditionalist, I did not appreciate the New Age’s fashion antics at the time, but I did love rock and roll. And this was a perfect example. Music transcends culture. Listeners benefit by ignoring the various coverings of the performers and just listening. The truism is you can’t judge a book by its cover. These guys are hard-working professionals.
