I don't believe this is live but pre-recorded. I hear a brass section but there isn't one in the video.

@@jackfitzpatrick8173 Sorry but they are playing to a backing track at minimum. I'm a musician and have run sound for years. That is not a completely live performance. The sound is too full and mixed for what they have on stage. I'm sure they are playing along but we are also hearing a studio track. Here is a live version kzread.info/dash/bejne/dWemyZapo8euqNo.html

Ahhh the Fabulous 80s when music was diverse original and fun. Loved it No better decade. This song was the epitome of that. Originality in the respect of having a billboard No 1 hit featuring banjo and violins and still forty years later being enjoyed at bars and weddings. Bravo Dexys well done

I knew a girl called Irene who still hates this song! It’s not even her name… Mind you… when I married my second wife called Karen, the registrar twice called her Carol and corrected herself. You guessed it, my first wife is called Carol.
This is an excellent version of this song. I never heard it before.
❤ And iv bn dancing to this for the last 40 year's 😮🎉❤
If I am driving for any length of time, I will eventually hear this song on the radio. Never get tired of it. I hope they had a good contract and get royalties regularly.
I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM ALL OVER AGAIN!YOU STILL GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!❤️❤️❤️
This is a great live version. Love that Phil Collins played drums with them on this recording.
que linda cancion a pesar que del año 82 no me canso de escuchar este tema muyyyyyyyyyyy lindo y recordar a mi querido hermano cuando eran jovencito y le gustaba esta cancion ahora esta en el cielo😪

I never looked at this song closely for 41 years. I just danced and sang the only 3 words I knew. After reading about the origins and watching videos like this one… I understand it much better now. Brilliant. This is great art.
Saudade dos anos 80. Uma época em que parece que vivíamos em uma outra dimensão. Época maravilhosa, amizades verdadeiras, música de verdade, melodias profundas, amor ao próximo. Tudo isso se foi, mas não o amor que sinto por essa época. Feliz de quem viveu essa época. Abraços aqui do Brasil.
This is such a cool song and performance! 😊
Listen to this song 🎶 every day
One of my favorite songs
Holy F. I could tell that was Sandi by her voice, but further by her hand movements while she talked!
for you dave brook miss you loads
Come on Eileen Come on Eileen Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio He moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers used To sing along, who'd blame them You're grown (a grown up), So grown (so grown up), now I must say more than ever (Come on Eileen) Toora loora toora loo rye aye And we can sing just like our fathers Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah come on Eileen Come on Eileen These people round here Wear beaten down eyes Sunk in smoke dried faces Resigned to what their fate is But not us (no never), no not us (no never) We are far too young and clever Remember Toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever Eileen I'll hum this tune forever Come on Eileen oh I swear (well he means) Ah come on, let's take off everything That pretty red dress, oh Eileen tell him yes Ah come on let's, Ah come on Eileen Come on Eileen oh I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye Toora toora-too-loora Oh, Eileen Oh, Eileen We are far too young and clever And things wont ever change I say toora loora toora loo rye aye Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) At this moment, you mean everything to me You mean everything

Love ❤️ his voice
during the first 30 seconds or so i was convinced this was a playback effort, mimicking against pre-recorded original song. Once the differences start kicking in..WOW! This was actually how good and tight they played. Real musicians

Mis respetos... Que grupo... La disciplina lleva muy lejos a las personas... Ellos dieron ejemplo... Felicidades
PERFECT ♥
I can see that Billy likes the way Sandi looks. He can’t stop looking at her while slightly smiling
That is badass.
We are much too young and clever (or so it seemed) brilliant lyrics.

This must be a very big coincidence, I was looking for this song from a top 80s and came across this show is where Neil Buchanan from my childhood show Art Attack was starring on it.
