Thompson Twins - Into the Gap Live

[@saxyjones]

The Thompson Twins were fantastic, Great Songs and a great image I am 82 years old and i still love the groove that they make. If your not dancing to this you must be dead.

[@nebojsapavlovic147]

❤

[@DJTonyOKay]

In their PRIME! I still think Love on Your Side. Has one of the greatest synth grooves ever. Layers and layers of synths all working together

[@goneforapee]

Saw them on this tour at Sheffield city Hall, I always remember Tom Bailey popping out of that box at the beginning . Brings a tear to my eyes , back in the 80s when the world was a much better place .

[@geraldwilson681]

This video is amazing 😍. It illustrates how much the 80s teens loved this group when you saw them arriving at their site to play and these kids absolute beside themselves. I am 58 years old this month November 2022 and I still and always will love the Thompson Twins. How I miss them!!

[@rokit430]

Hope you keep track of Tom's work he still performs the Twins music I believe.

[@alisonspowell1496]

And me, I love them too and always will. Some of the happiest memories of my life are of the time I spent following them in the 80s and I made friendships that have endured ever since, thanks to them. Absolutely brilliant.

[@nicolashall9019]

Same tour. April 20th, 1984, Stanley Theater Pittsburgh PA . . . same energy and enthusiasm from the crowd. This band was beyond the sound and scope of the New Wave era. The songs still sound amazing today, and when they performed live, they had an energy that you could feel through the floor at their shows. They were original. Infectious. Inspiring. So glad I got to see them as a young teen, and that I lived through their heyday.

[@see-rious-ley]

Argghhh….the 80s…. When air was fresh, internet was virtually nowhere, life was simple, and music was pure talents! 🥳🥳🥳

[@derekbaker3279]

The air was *fresh* ? Where were you? Antarctica? LOL

[@elsongs]

Thompson Twins - September 28, 1984 at the Hollywood Bowl - Two nights before this concert - was my first live concert ever. The setlist was just about the same as this, so thanks for this video. Makes me feel like I'm 12 years old again.

[@WeLuv9x5]

I was at this concert, too. Even saw them when they played at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater. Good times

[@holyspacemonkey]

The concert starts at 8:30! I saw the Thompson Twins play live in 1986, and they were absolutely fantastic! One of the best shows I’ve seen. ❤

[@basking_in_it]

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see this concert in full out here! I saw this concert in Davis, CA. May 17, 1984. Still one of my all-time favorite concerts and I'm almost 60 now. An absolutely awesome show--and A Flock of Seagulls opened for them! Such great memories.

[@spikeybunny6577]

I saw them in Sacramento… probably the same week

[@glenjarnold]

Watching this in July 2022....but right now, I'm back home where I belong - in 1984. Sheer joy....

[@mariocastaneda7321]

incredible sound and vision, thank you for sharing

[@GaryBruyere-f9b]

I saw this exact tour about a month before in Ottawa, Canada in August '84

[@RoySATX]

Ah, you took me up, oh oh, you took me up to a higher ground! So high I never wanted to come down. This was 2 days after my 20th birthday, so high I thought I might never come down.

[@leeveron9077]

Simply love Thompson Twins and still love them so much..😍😍😍😍

[@bobtis]

Alannah was great on percussion and a showman. Loved her

[@carlosserrano3985]

Boris Williams (Drummer) drum equipment in this concert is a Simmons SDS-7 and the Movement Percussion Computer (MCS mk2).

[@robshef718]

A by gone era...but never forgotten.

[@welshlad6427]

Never forgotten 👍

[@davidlister6721]

Loved this band so much as a kid...

[@albundy550]

Oh yes music instruments.....this is what real music and the 1980's are all about. Not the crap played in the 2020's today that focuses only on lyrics. Music will ALWAYS be about instruments introducing lyrics not the other way around. Anybody who thinks otherwise does not understand music. Anyway I am a 1980's DJ so I know what I am talking about. Everybody have a good day.....Enough said :o)

[@derekbaker3279]

As a DJ, have you paid attention to Bob Dylan? He's a poet first, and a musician second. Same goes for the great, late Leonard Cohen & others.

[@juliodominguez4750]

One of the greatest band of the golden age.....

[@massimobernuzzi2594]

Hold me now is one of the best songs in the 80s

[@rokit430]

Such a sad and poignant song' Sister of Mercy..my best song by the Twins. Allanah looks great in the dressing room too...sure she still looks good. I know Tom is still touring too if only they would all get together again. Phenom!!❤

[@ericscottstevens]

In recent interviews Tom Bailey stated Joe was the theatre man, responsible for the live choreography, Alannah was responsible for the fashion. Both Joe and Alannah closed the door on any more music performances and moved to what makes them happy. A great group, never to be seen again.

[@jaybreezy1669]

Wow!!!! I haven't seen this concert on video in 32 years. Back when I owned it on video. I always remembered the beginning of the concert when Tom Bailey pops up and comes out of that little trap door thing on stage. This takes me back. Thanks for sharing this.

[@reverendbarker650]

used to groove along to the TTS a lot during the 80s, i was an old hippie then and I'm 70 now but still like these guys a hell of a lot.

[@dukehalliday9833]

Loved Them

[@michaelclyburn5858]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@patriciastewart2239]

A favorite album

[@MediaBuster]

They sound amazing live... and very close to the studio versions..

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

I saw this tour. My first ever gig

[@bobtis]

This is great. the 1980's. Wish the sound was better

[@benjihollister]

I was 2 months old! Cheers for this. Loving it

Great song to start a show @8:40 "The Gap". Saw this tour and with Flock of Seagulls. Thompson Twins were great.😎👍 @52:44 "In The Name Of Love" is so underrated.
