Was a hit at every kids disco night and every adult one too. One of the greatest covers ever.

Outrageous!😍

#915 on my all time countdown

[@leepshin]

One of the few occasions where the cover is 100 times better than the original and they still perform it amazingly to this day. The keyboard player is "STILL" using that very same Korg Keytar as well.

100 times better than the original?! You need your ears testing.

[@frankderudder7290]

Although covers are usually not 2 good this cover was great and he was a very good guitar player

[@TimeTraveler.981]

Why was Brian smiling? 😊it looked like he was holding back laughter. Anyone know why?

[@TirEoghainTim]

It defo added to the video!

[@TimeTraveler.981]

@@TirEoghainTim Agreed.

[@TimeTraveler.981]

@@TirEoghainTim I like bands that look happy 😊 on stage. Makes the video funner.

[@Turboy65]

Canned performance, note that no wireless systems or cords are attached to the instruments. Just for show. Still a rocking rendition of a very good song.

[@sidle]

totp didnt have any live performances at that time

[@leepshin]

@@sidle Yep it was quite the joke back in the day which is a great shame coz these boys can actually "play" live. One of the best piss takes I saw was from Faith no more when they appeared to perform either Epic or From outta nowhere, I can't recall but Mike started flaunting the fact that they were miming. It was fkn hilarious. LOL

[@Weenybean.]

We noticed. We noticed it then, it didn't matter. And we noticed it now and it still doesn't matter.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@sidle Yes they did, one of the first was New Order-Blue Monday in 1983!

[@sidle]

@@mikekaraoke that was an exception, at least 99.9% of the performances in the 80's were mimed.
