THOMPSON TWINS - Side Kicks, The Movie
11 in the name of love
Multimillion selling pioneers of pop-dance music, the Thompson Twins are one of the definitive bands of the UK's 'post-romantic' musical era.
One of the most successful British bands of the mid eighties, the band set the benchmark for image/music fusion, establishing themselves as instantly recognisable both visually and orally. The trio, Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway, enjoyed international success and acclaim, scoring highly and regularly in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond.
The stuff of legend, Thompson Twins live shows encompassed the very best of music, dance and performance art. Side kicks: The Movie contains stunning live footage from a concert recorded exclusively to promote the release of their breakthrough album 'Quick Step and Side Kicks'.

Great to see concert footage of the crowd enjoying the music instead of standing there holding up a bunch of cellphones in the air.

[@Hal9000ize]

Cry about it, Boomer

[@sarahmoore6612]

Agree. Saw them live back in the 80's. Fabulous, no phones.

[@MicheleLaraia-j4m]

And jumping as one!

[@tarazinn4681]

Amen! Saw them at UH with Berlin in the 80s. So lucky!!!

[@sandclann]

I'm so glad that I saw them twice in the mid 80's!!

[@toma.4808]

Multitalented, fully animated and always exotic that is the Thompson twins! Bloody nice to actually SEE a live performance that wasnt spoiled by cell phones and people just standing there not reacting.people in that crowd actually enjoyed themselves.

[@tarazinn4681]

AMEN

[@burns47]

Tom playing the keyboards at 2.26 is magical

[@lfroglfrog4962]

WOW!!! BETTER LIVE THAN THE RECORD,!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kayelle8005]

I saw them live and they were a lot of fun. Great energy like this. Most concerts I’ve been to this century with the exception of red hot chilli peppers and muse have been ruined by a sea of people just holding up phones to record footage they’ll likely never watch back. So glad to be a gen Xer.

[@sarahmoore6612]

Agree. Live fabulous fun concert back in 80's, just rocking the crowd & no phones. Yeah!

[@TheHannibalTV]

Love it!

[@MysticFrequencies]

This was 1983, not 1986. I have the original (before cherry red) on the original Laserdisc. Definitely 1983.

[@gallente4TW]

Day-um, look at that crowd jumping! Superb!

[@xoxxobob61]

Isn't that crazy how they jump ! Good tune !

[@r.u.joeking9130]

we were all hungry, no money to eat but managed to stay happy and bouncy most of the time all night long somehow. The 80's were a strange time of "love and hate" when we thought we could change the world with just being happy.

[@ARTCHANIFY]

this pretty much captures what they were like on that tour - saw them in a small club in the USA

[@rnw2739]

I love the crowd at this concert...they're going mental bouncing up and down.... Love it!! If only I could hear these TT songs live I'd be right with them....

The bass is outstanding.

@@anthonybeyond As I say before: Too bad the backing musicians are almost hidden as they create the magic live

My first approach to Thompson Twins was in the Ghostbusters soundtrack! great song!!

[@tolanstout]

Great bass lines

Boris Williams ex-drummer The Cure and Roger O'donnell actually keyboards The Cure!!!

[@RHINOWINOLUNATIC]

1983 more like. It was touring the "Quickstep...." album

[@bmxsickness1975]

Wicked energy!!!

[@neddkelly5732]

This was the first gig I ever went to.

[@msjj3215]

This wasn't 1986 - I was there more like 1983

[@sett7mo]

Yes,its 83,because in ghostbusters(1984)there was this song and i've done some research and it came in 83

[@taykay262]

Now that’s what I call 80s when it was early 2000s this was in one of the 💿 cds

[@chrislake1967]

83 have it on vhs

Verse or reality?

[@wtorules4743]

Brilliant backing band.

[@tonybriggs5257]

1983....wish the Into The Gap Live was on dvd...and the full singles collection too...

[@MysticFrequencies]

Hump into one of the TT Facebook groups, theres tons of videos and singles etc, just ask in the groups :)

[@marymoran8859]

GOOD TIMES!!!!

[@kennykobett4490]

Alanah Currie threw her drum sticks into the crowd and one of them broke my pinkie finger. A small price to pay. It's dangerous out there but worth it

[@gmansi]

[@kennykobett4490]

If only the crowd could bounce a little more during the chorus right?

[@MrLgtm]

see kids, back in the day concert goers were not morons with smart-smth and were really having fun!

[@michaelrosenthal183]

I flew to Liverpool in 86 to see this concert, loved it, good times

[@MysticFrequencies]

Not trying to be an ass here but you would have missed this concert by 3 years.... try 1983 :)

[@GroovyDoom]

His name's Andrew Bodnar. He played with Graham Parker & The Rumour, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, and others in addition to the Thompson Twins live band for this tour.

Two of them at least went on to play with lots of others.

@@davidcappa5692 I hope they were given more credit. Drummer Boris Williams went to The Cure.

[@JD-bm1sm]

definitely not 1986.....sorry

[@davidcappa5692]

I saw their last concert ever in Ft. Lauderdale Florida in 1986 or 1987. There were maybe 100 people, sadly. Tom Bailey draws a much bigger crowd NOW, lol.
