Declaration was one of the finest albums of the 80s, fantastic memories

Too true. Mike is inspirational. I have been listening to The Alarm for nearly forty years and while it is always good, a lot of the time I take it for granted. Sometimes a song catches me and reminds me of how I felt at the time of its release. Now is one of those moments for which I am eternally grateful.

In the days before videos a TOTP appearance was everything. Not surprised they flew back from the states. I lost my shoe at their 1984 London gig...it was so packed. I had to come home by public transport with only one shoe 👞 !!!!

Il have a listen to your 80s album tonight on the beach. 68 guns I can just remember being only 13yrs old at the time of 1983.

Mike Peters insisted that he shared the mic with the other guys, he didn't want them to stay in the background. Nice gesture, nice man. I wish him a speedy recovery from his illness.

Hi Jeff. Mike Peters has been fighting cancer for quite a while now. Sadly his wife Jules has also been suffering from breast cancer -she plays keyboards in the band as you probably know. Best wishes. Stay safe. Joyce.

When bands of this ilk were in their prime they were ten years or so older than me. It seemed like a chasm in time but now I am 51 it is shocking to think of Mike Peters only three years away from being a pensioner. He is a hero and their music endures.

Great voice ....great song....timeless

From my home town Rhyl ! Saw them in passing in the Bistro . Happy days xxx

Always a favorite of. Mine only wish they lasted longer .

I remember being a steward at Greenbelt in ‘87 and Mike Peters signed my leather jacket after the concert. Great times.

The anthem of the time, bloody marvellous😎

The sounds ..the visuals .and the big hair ! ..that was the 80s..great days 👍

Forever young, I cannot say. HEY!

A legend seen him many times ....god bless

When i was a teenager in the 80's , my friends and i was always using hair gel ( extra strong hold ) and after that , a lot of hairspray ( also extra strong hold ) , but when it was windy we used gelatin instead of hair gel , before we where using hair spray .The hair got so stiff that we couldn't rest our heads against backrests on sofas or anything , or even go to bed before it was brushed out , because the hair could crack . Lol . :-D

Ironically in 1990 they kinda became the next U2, because U2 abandoned their own 80s sound and their record company liked it :)

Him saying "looks like we'll have a good evening then" makes me so happy.

Saw them open for Pat Benetar in 1988 and just saw them last July headline at the House of Blues in Chicago.

Hogia o'r Rhyl!

as a teen i dont know who this is (my mum recommended me this song) but god the vibes are ✨immaculate✨

Absolute belter! I remember this coming on the radio at work and thinking 'fuckin hell, this is the bollocks!' Saw them a few times since then, great gigs, even though the Welsh made us unwelcome, but did we care? 👊👊👊👊👊🤣

Best song ever!

2:05 magic harmonica....plays itself

I saw them at the old Cardiff arms park ground supporting U2 arms in 1987

Would of loved to have them have a Brass section with this excellent performance on TOTP.

Big country

Never more relevant than now in 2024 👍

love the hair ♡

Long live Mike Peters

It’s September 22 , 2021. TOTP 38 years ago. I wonder if that guy dancing at 3:28 still has those moves?

Romans 10 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
