Agreed. I'm 59 as well. The golden age of music, to me at least, fell in-between 1964 to 1989. A great 25 year period. The Beatles started it all. Early 90's grunge was the last really interesting genre of music, it's been a slow painful slide downward since then. But that is my opinion.

If you were not there experiencing the 80s as they were, you will never understand just how great it was. It ruly was the greatest decade ever. I have this bands vinyl record on the turntable now. Original record from the 80s not a reissue.

The true beauty of this song was its staggering simplicity. It’s already a classic, no orchestra required. I’m so damn grateful I grew up during the 80’s. I got to see Star Wars as a kid and bought my first car in ‘86, all to the soundtrack of some of the best music ever recorded. It was so good, I learned how to build car stereo systems long before it became cool in the 90’s. It’s simply impossible to properly convey just how much fun they were to experience, now that we survived them. My first job was at McDonald’s, when the food tasted so much better than today. Marlboros were $1 a pack and smoking them was still cool. We still got side eye for smoking in school parking lot, which made it even cooler! Despite living thru all the dramatic change of the digital and internet ages, we ended up in some dark times. 😕

@TheBatugan77 2 out of 3 ain’t bad at all...still got the look...think of them as a fine bottle of wine....matures and improves with age!🤗

Why oh why were AFOS so underrated ? Unbelievable music and one of the best bands from the greatest musical decade which was the 80s. Every time I hear this amazing song I’m in my youth again……I’m 61 and it still takes me back to the days when music was my life and times were so much simpler.

This song is simply the embodiment of 80s musical perfection.

All 7 billion people of this world need to hear, see, feel this.

The bass player Frank Maudsley always played with a smile on his face. Good to see that in his mid-60's he's still a happy looking dude. I'm a year older than Paul Reynolds and I'm glad to see that it looks like he got through his addiction and mental health issues when he was in his early/mid-twenties. AFOS were one of my favourite new-wave bands in the very early 80's - man they were such and underrated band!

Well someone finally. They took the perfect song and made it a thousand times better. OMG I can't stop tearing up.

Thank you for being a part of the 80's great music. So many bands that made that decade the greatest time.

My gosh, this brought me to tears. Such a pleasure to see them performing again. They so carry their same mannerisms. Thank you so very much for bringing this video into my life!

The band is fantastic and I have to say the Prague Philharmonics is wonderful in complimenting the music without being overwhelming. I love all the faces of the orchestra-especially the pretty lady at the beginning who looks so serious, the puffed cheeks of the brass, to the grinning bearded man on the Strings. It is a wonderful orchestra to combine with the Flock of Seagulls. I hope there will be an Ascension concern with all the performers. It is just a beautiful ensemble.

My favorite part was how happy the bassist was the whole time

I can't believe this song is almost 40 years old. It still sounds so modern, maybe it's the orchestra instead of synthesizer, but this version is so good. I was around 12 or 13 and in catholic school when this came out...just blew my mind. The sisters frowned upon any music except church stuff 😝. Man these guys still got it and they're still tight and precise.

I was in my mid 20s when this song came out now 65 and still love this song great piece of music.

We have arrived in the future. When I first heard this song it was the summer of 1982 and oh were we once young! Forty two years ago this song gave me hope for all humanity. Thank you Flock of Seagulls and thank you Prague Philharmonic Orchestra!

Paul Reynolds is still kickin ass on the guitar. Certainly a masterpiece!

Everyone who lived through the decade knows that there were really two 80s: the early 80s, a time of expanding boundaries and exploring the unknown, and the late 80s, a time of increasing conformity and narrowing options. To me, this song is one of the anthems of the early 80s -- half science, half mystery, and all magic. It's good to have you still with us and making music, boys -- you helped define an era, and we'll never forget.

@rapid13

Meh. I was there, and the "narrowing options" were nothing more than the shift away from New Wave and toward Glam/Hair Metal, which gave us even greater and more diverse musicality that peaked with Appetite for Destruction and Dr Feelgood, which then got crushed by Nirvana. Music evolves, as do musical tastes.
