1983 driving across the Golden Gate into Sausalito with the Sun blazing and THIS on the radio-Such memories!!

[@dannymcmince]

Crossed the golden gate bridge heading for San Rafael back in the 80s many a times....listening to Spandau Ballet...love from Donegal in Ireland

[@thegreyfedora8532]

His voice hasn't aged a day! Man he still sounds as smooth as back then

[@dapatman9827]

True

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

The Grey Fedora: He May have aged but he still sounds the same

[@sassyd8738]

yes indeed s0 true his voice is so romantic n smooth

[@adnap]

Actually, It sounds like the aging process has taken away his ability to use his false cords. (Falsetto)

[@5822huron]

@@adnap yes.. he sounds different

[@anitafowler524]

No autotune, or any of that other crap just true talent and voice

[@bigkozlov]

Still class act. Wonderful voice. Sure beats all the crap made these days.

[@MrUsermister]

... it wouldn't take much, anyway LOL

[@finnclay9471]

I know I am quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

[@finnlucas9765]

[@alphonz193]

[@SO_S55m]

[@henrycasos]

That music makes me feel a longing for the old times.

[@ronaldmcgee1366]

Bring back lots great memories and sadness too the people I love and loss

[@joeelwell162]

[@jessicaaudate]

Saxophone ALWAYS gets me! 🎷🎷🎷

[@Jabahonky12]

this song is timeless when were all dead they will still be playing this song, and there is not many musicians who can say that.

[@TheRanhughes]

Especially the dead ones.

[@CodeBleu724]

Tony is a boss! That voice hasn't changed at all. Still belting it out as if it were still '83.

[@CodeBleu724]

To Cut a Long Story short, the hosts only know this one song. Oh well...Round and Round it goes.

[@joeelwell162]

this song melts me back to school in the 80"

[@CLoveBeauty]

they sound fucking amazing!

[@ryaniggy4820]

Hey, watch your mouth young lady!

[@mercymaniego336]

Tony Hadley a soulful singer. His band also they are united and so sensitive to the direction of tone and melody..Every words, every lines always counts 😊

[@sherrystipa8894]

Lov this gives me chills.

[@stregadisalem732]

They sound so good!!! After all these years 😊

[@regdawgformerusmc]

You took the words out of my mouth!!

[@kingdomcitizen4788]

....and still looking good after all these years!

[@brilliantideas1196]

So "True" the lead singer sounds just like the sound on the record, so very rare.

[@audleymclean3724]

but these guys haven't aged so much and sounding just as good too.

[@meimanarifin8045]

One of my favourite song

[@sunnysim3583]

These bands from the 80's are true musicians, and still sound as good as they did back in the day. Brings back memories for me- growing up in the '80's.

[@greghicks8575]

You are correct.. some of the best music made Class of 1984 ROCKS .

[@RayCyst310]

Wot rong wiv rap bruh inni

[@delux976]

I grew up than took it all for granted you didn't realize how good it was at the time til it had gone, Those great days were never replaced in the music scene

[@buildbros871]

Case in point Robert Smith of the Cure. Still top quality today

[@michaelkurz9067]

This song will never get old:)

[@JFinSD2]

Guy's voice sounds as smooth as he did in the 80's

[@dapatman9827]

True

[@QwyattStorm]

True

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

Now Steve and Gary can finally do the vocals at the beginning of the song again since their live performances they Always use the backup singers and I personally didn’t like it. Steve and Gary provide the better tone to the song

[@sassyd8738]

@@_thebusphotograher_cali I loved this performance because you right ou can really hear them and the music sounds amazing this was my 1 on 1 concert just wish I was there usually when you see them live on youtube the crowd n the noise kinda dims the performance a lil bit this was awesome

[@cesarsenior8596]

That´s a gift, really.

[@angelperezprado5392]

Tony Hadley has an amazing voice. He is a great singer!

[@AllForUsInc]

The Kids had One Direction and we still have Spandau Ballet. We win!!!!! Sound soooo good

[@carahai9270]

No. As a gen z with songs filled with autotune crap. No. Todays songs are thrash. So dont compare one direction. Im just a gen z with realistic view lol

[@mlunacantu]

Wow, One of the few Bands with Origional Members... and still Sound Amazing!! :)

[@angeladeleon193]

I can still recognize them! They aged great!!!

[@francescodivita2509]

feeling blessed i lived those years...a great great time to be alive

[@kingdomcitizen4788]

They are talented, good looking and so down to earth, many young artists can learn from that, glad I grew up in the 80's :)

[@CH67guy1]

The years have been very kind to Tony.

[@zatchg1212]

[@josiephinefox8971]

2022 to an 80s kid just feels like yesterday..

on a trip with my girlfriend at the time this was playing while we watched her two young girls ice skating I knew then this was who I was going to spend my life with. we have been married 44 years this december and when ever I hear this song my memory goes right back there.

[@casey4602]

Although this song is one of my favorites, I will always think of the film Wedding Singer forever whenever I hear this song.

[@littlemystic4340]

[@kemerson7358]

Career defining song, its just that good. If they only had one hit their entire lives this would carry them. Its timeless.

[@mr.balloffur]

One hit? Where do you live? Even in the states they had two more top 40 hits after True, and in the UK, they had 17 total

[@marioperalta2667]

The Band! The Voice! The Music!

[@alexpantoja5316]

When Spandau Ballet is greater than any music artist famous today! No where near as much talent as Spandau Ballet!

[@thenovicehobbyist313]

Lol 1 hit wonder band

[@bartlettpsj]

@@thenovicehobbyist313 odd response - they're in the top 100 best selling bands of all time. And i think had 10+ hits.

WONDERFUL MEMORIES FROM 80s , IT IS AN ICONIC SONG FROM A GREAT TIME,

[@67johnnyjoe]

[@geniusflores8467]

TIMELESS.,....IMMORTAL

[@annetterios8472]

Beautiful song He sounds great

[@elabismoylaluna6981]

I love this song!! Fantastic band. Come to Argentina soon!!!!!

[@tonywright3051]

A fantastic song will always be a fantastic song, I was incredibly lucky to see them in the early 80's on tour. Once at the Scarborough futurist theatre and in Newcastle. When they settled their differences and toured again I was there to watch them at Manchester arena. Such an amazing band that produced iconic hit after hit after hit. Gary Kemps songwriting skills are totally incredible. Such a shame Tony left the band but at least we have superb memories like this video. Such magical music and music that will live on forever.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Tony Hadley is very charismatic. Loved Spandau since 1982.

[@KBGardener]

They dropped my favorite line--"Listening to Marvin all night log..."--but I understand they were under a time constraint. Still, I'm so happy they're back!

[@dmbfannh]

Haha I noticed that too

[@rootchakar]

Still sounds so crisp and clear. Love These GUYS! ❤

This has always been in my top 10 song list. They sound great and this is one that if it comes on the radio I must listen. They wrote this when they were 23 years old- wow!!

[@honeybee1226]

They sound good as hell as after all these years Tony's voice is off the chain the reporters looked like they were having the best time lol

What an amazing Voice isn't it guys?

[@geniusflores8467]

HAIL SPANDAU

[@misabidlennon660]

Great band and wonderful song.

[@lundsean75]

Voice, instruments, no back up singers this time sounds close to the record. Um... this performance has become my all time favorite of all bands I love just wish they would have let them do an extended "Anthem Version" of this that day those guys were in that "special pocket" feelin it. Best live version of this song no doubt about it. If you noticed this about many bands such as Led Zeppelin, Metallica etc, their live versions of their songs are better when they was starting out in their early years then just don't put the same passion decades later yet these guys sound like they was time warped from 1983 to the Today Show and sound this good?

[@praktikalnurse504]

probably the most AWESOME THING EVER on the Today Show!!

[@hcp2890]

Blasting this song thru the headphones brings one back to the 80s. A surreal feeling.
