Thompson Twins Live on MTV's New Years Eve Ball in New York 1983

[@misterroboto5556]

Damn great party and I wish i was there but i was only age 12 in 1983. Unlike many of his peers from the 80's Tom Bailey is still getting the job done LIVE in 2024!

The look style song brilliant 👏

[@14rnr]

Thank you ever so much for posting this, I've not seen it before

[@Lirleni]

Would have been so much fun to be there. :) (and we really did not need the extreme closeups of Tom's teeth and the mike in Hold Me Now...)

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Such a brilliant track

[@FunnyGA1ex]

Wow! He’s a pretty good karaoke singer

[@1994cargo]

Never seen this and I’ve seen them all…….awesome 🤝, did you see them play in Santa Cruz with Oingo Boingo?

[@chrissalg9681]

This is so rare and hilarious...Tom is trashed. And Joe seems off too. I think Alannah was the only sober one in the whole building 🤣

Roger O' Donnell and Boris Williams on keyboard🎼and drums, respectfully.

The backbone, so solid

[@rich1017]

Is it me, or does Tom see really high in this clip??

[@evad520]

He always did. :D

[@theanonymouscat5062]

Tom stopped doing that stuff by the time this video was recorded. He only did it when he was a young teen.

@@theanonymouscat5062 Babble talked about how the had the best drugs.....so......I think not.

[@theanonymouscat5062]

@@evad520 by that point Tom was already a father and married to Alannah. Tom stopped doing drugs sometime in the late 70s/early 80s.

@@theanonymouscat5062 And yet, they talked about drugs during the Babble years. That's too hard for you to understand?

[@user-fp5vl6ex2d]

The performance of ‘Love On Your Side’ not as strong as the live performance on The Tube. Tom is definitely toasted here!

[@WALES1154]

Alannah hiccups at 13.39 secs

[@babbletwins]

This is only part of it...

[@MusicMaven]

Possibly - not sure if you mean there was more that aired, or more to the show that wasn't aired? It's the only part that was in the recording I have.

[@babbletwins]

@@MusicMaven The full version is 43 minutes long.

[@WALES1154]

@@babbletwins what other songs did they perform?

[@WALES1154]

Best live band I’ve seen and been to over 100 concerts

[@lamt99]

D GT, have you seen Duran Duran and Depeche Mode , they are awesome live too

[@emilywilson9632]

Tom is pitchy
