The Alarm - Spirit of 76 Old Grey Whistle Test

[@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate]

They really poured this out. Left it all on the stage. Fantastic. Lifelong fan of the Alarm!

[@wacker04]

fantastic band and so under rated, "We first met on Mathew St where we heard somthing that would set us free." Also 4 lads who shook the world, Classic lyrics

[@maurice5012]

Takes me back to the summer of 86 when they supported Queen. Oh, the nostalgia! Vintage stuff indeed.

[@jamietownsend8896]

The spirit of 76 still lives on and there was a heat wave. The heat of music that we can never discard

I remember watching the original broadcast of this. Great stuff, thanks for uploading.

[@mildomcduff]

I watched this and loved it at the time. I even had it recorded on my old betmax video recorder. This is the first time I've seen this clip since the late 80's and it's like being put in a time machine back to my youth. I loved this band any found them to be a huge inpiration for my own musical style. Thanks for the post.

[@milwrman]

how many bands do you see perform with genuine passion in there faces

[@Neptuneman07]

Their best tune. Brilliant song about the good days of the past.

[@mumbell2000]

The Alarm - sounded in 1984 for me and I’ve been in an alert state since then but still rocking in a protest way

[@findis]

Fantastic Doug! I remember watching this first time around

[@Nigelxman]

Wow. This is just so great. Brings back floods of memories of my youth. Thanks very much for posting this.

[@ThePsychoFish]

Saw them about 1984 St.Albans city hall & they were so loud it was distorted.

[@anjabendig275]

Top stuff.

[@brizzleboy]

Forget summer of '69, remember the Spirit Of '76!❤️

[@markworth7167]

Sharpie!!

[@sauciest1]

God bless em! This was so relevant to me in the '80's as the antithesis of so much of the BS that was on the air. I really thought they would follow in U2's footsteps ha ha!

[@NoCoverCharge]

these guys are like God

[@totall2952]

Seen them with the stranglers class night

[@namph72]

brilliant haven't seen this before strange seeing Mike without a guitar Eddie looks cool as fuck Mark Taylor on piano

[@bollockowithalob]

Nice yarn, stranger.

[@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095]

I remember that long, hot Summer. I was 14. This is good, but I still think their best song was _"Absolute Reality"._ {:o:O:}
