| Spandau Ballet
Live ITV1
Saturday 30th July 12.30pm
Step Back In Time with a live greatest
hits concert set from classic 80's band Spandau Ballet. Late night
and loud, ITV1 is going retro-tastic for a whole hour of classic
pop from one of the most successful bands of the ecstatic 80s'.
Spandau Ballet epitomised the pomp,
glamour and excess of the 80's. The band had a massive 20
twenty hit singles across 8 years, growing from their New Romantic
origins to a stadium rock band capable of filling London's Wembley
Arena for a week.
'This was Spandau
at the height of their pomp'
Gary Kemp - July 2005
Filmed in December 1986 at the Birmingham
N.E.C for the legendary TV music show The Tube during
the UK leg of the 'Through The Barricades' tour, this show features
the classic Spandau line-up of Tony Hadley, Steve Norman,
John Keeble, Martin and Gary Kemp and was a spectacular live
show that travelled the globe for almost 2 years.
'Spandau were at their best
live - I was always slightly disapointed with our records but
we were a fantastic live band'
Martin Kemp - July 2005
The show features many of their biggest
hits including 'To Cut A Long Story Short', 'Gold', and of course
'True' as well as some old favourites from their New Romantic
days.
''Chant#1 was always my
favourite - it was the epitome of Spandau 's early clubby credible
period'
Steve Norman - July 2005
'I always thought Gold should
have been a James Bond theme'
Martin Kemp - July 2005
The concert features a new introduction from original
members Gary & Martin Kemp and Steve Norman. Remastered into
widescreen and remixed with 5.1 surround sound, sit back and enjoy
an hour of perfect pop from the past captured live and direct
on ITV1.
