Yes .but tough when you were skint and no job to be had .I don't mean picky, You would shovel shit for a wage and the sad thing is you were grateful. But a few quid in your arse pocket and you had a night worth having. The past is a foreign country and they did things differently there. Sadly for the worse.

Bonny is Prefab Sprout’s crown jewel, their masterpiece. A sophisti-pop song with such burning emotion and thoughtful intelligence and haunting atmosphere in the playing. Amazing!

"Steve McQueen" was my go to cassette back in college. I wore that sucker out.

This song, I like it very much

Goosebumps; this song gets straight to the heart; it's become part of me since day one. I'm so grateful to Paddy, Martin, Wendy and Neil for what they've done over the years; it meant much to me. Paddy is one of the most under-rated songwriters ever but that's a common feature among real geniuses!! Thanks for posting this video.

its only when hes dead and gone will people realise just how good they where its always the way................ a master song writer indeed .. and to think he wrote most off these songs when he was a teenager.............. amazing

Paddy had such a rock voice for someone so delicate and poetic - it's easy to forget that till you hear him belt this out!

A track that made me love Prefab Sprout and it has remained my favourite track for over 35 years now.

"All my insights from retrospect" Great song, possibly their best, great songwriter, great memories.

words don't hold you... broken soldiers

Wish i could lend the Back to the future car n drive back to this concert :)

Strained respect, not strange.

a haunting song save your speeches flowers are for funerals brilliant lyrics

Genius. Total genius. Paddy is ledge x

One of my favourite Prefab Sprout Tracks

Summer 1980something. Heart broken went off to work at a girl's camp for the summer. Wore out Steve McQueen ( Two Wheels Good here in the USA). Most incredible stuff, it ages so nice

They definitely have a certain fierce energy that most pop bands don't.

A catchy, melodic and haunnting song with a sonic quality which is really expressed so so well in Paddy's soaring vocals encouraging me to sing along - absorbing and so enjoyable ❤️ I just recently re-discovered this band and OMG! It is a thousand times better the second time around almost as if I never even well and truly heard them before when I was younger.

One of the most songwriters ! Prefab Sprout and is album "Steve McQueen" stays forever...

absurd amount of talent

Steve McQueen - my favourite LP of all time....defined me!

been listening to a lot of these guys again recently...great music and voice. the SM album is a classic often overlooked. shame they didn't tour much

Check out the Acoustic Steve McQueen if you haven’t already done so. Paddy has beautifully reimagined these songs.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Man this brings back many fond memories.

Timeless...25 Years have passed but it sounds fresh as if has just come out. These guys were well ahead of their time.

Absolutely Incredible

I was in a band called "The Drumbones" here in Cincinnati in 1985 and we listened to these guys and said "they sort of sound like us"!

Toppa tune takes me back 👍

Thank you for this video. I am so glad to see it performed live. This is one of the most beautiful songs with haunting lyrics that has ever been written. It has the most captivating quality and touches on feelings of loss and regret that we will have sometime in our lives. The song is from"Two Wheels Good" in the US ("Steve McQueen " in the UK ). This album with its marvelous production by Thomas Dolby is one of the high points of the musical 1980s.

their first drummer (the one u see here) was a monster! awesome playin...i think he left the group for bein a session drummer...i really love his style!!

This is Neil Conti who joined for Steve McQueen and was a full member of the band. Yes, he’s brilliant and a session player. You can see him at Live Aid backing David Bowie.

I love Prefab Sprout's music. No one does pop-rock better then the Sprouts.

One day, just when I woke up I start to hear this tune and it was so amazing, I Really felt a dream come true and I looked the sky like no other else, I love The Sprouts

Same here, I heard it in a cafe a week ago and it felt like an epiphany!

His voice is perfect

Esta canción me hace pensar que existen algunas obras del ser humano que trascienden el tiempo y el espacio. La alineación era perfecta, Conti es un mostruo de la bateria, Wendy lo hace etereo, Martin un gran músico y Paddy un genio. No entendería mi vida sin estos chicos.

I look back at my memories in the 80s of seeing truly great bands and one band springs to mind that were always a cut above the rest - It was Prefab Sprout... Bonny is their masterpiece... Perfection is musical ART.

Best group of the 80's. Love that band.

Such a masterpiece

My favorite tune of Prefab Sprout. Thanx Paddy 💋

Love this song too greeting from Switzerland

Quel groupe, quel chanteur et parolier. J Adore surtout l album Steve Mc Queen, c est un de mes albums préféré. A écouter toujours et encore...

Brilliant song. He really gets into singing it. Apparently he hated touring and they hardly ever did.

Adoro essa musica!

Music from the heart

Absolutely beautiful

Meravigliosa

I'd forgotton all about this song, hearing this again is like wakeing up from a 26 year coma.

I love this song so much!:D

Oh Lord, I'm in heaven now...

The first band I searched after learning of KZread. That was 2007. First time seeing them in a concert when all I had was a cassette tape in 86. Amazing discovery.

Absolutely delicious clip this , love it and didn't stop playing it when I heard it. A lot of prefab songs seem to hit your soul more than a lot of bands, a real gift.

Wish I was old enough to have seen them play Steve McQueen live, its my number 1 album of all time. Just bought the acoustic version which is simply sublime.

Great song.

Ideales!!! No me canso de escucharlos...impresionantes sus canciones...

Es que para mí esta música siempre será vigente, y Prefab debería ser un referente para los nuevos artistas.

An awesome song from a simply awesome album. Check out the reissued Steve McQueen double CD, which includes a gorgeous acoustic versions of this song. McAloon really is a God.

No Prefab Sprout song takes me back to that time more than this. That keyboard has such a haunting quality on this track. Anyone know who the keyboard player is?

Tremenda presentación de Prefab Sprout, en la época dorada de la New Wave y en Munich deleitando al entendido y exigente publico alemán que bien valoran estos artista de alto calibre.

Un album capolavoro.

Fantastic!

I couldn't have said it better myself. Utter heartbreaking genius.

This song is such a beauty

Brilliant stuff.

This is indeed special - breathaking. I'll save my speeches....sigh....

My favorite song !

Neil Conti is such a cool dude. He plays drums with such casual confidence

I was in 9th grade I started listening to Prefab. Thanks, Paddy. ♥ from the Philippines...

Una maravillosa musica para grandes e inolvidables recuerdos.

This song makes me cry!!

When they take me to my final resting place I'd be happy to have this playing in the background - not that I'd know!

Muito bom!!

I just discovered this band via a friend's recommendation. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

This was Second of their albums, Remember buying swoon after watching the tube in 1984, the rest is history.

Can a love pop song get any better?

Masterpiece.

Great tune
