- THOMPSON TWINS - Side Kicks, The Movie
13 love on your side
Multimillion selling pioneers of pop-dance music, the Thompson Twins are one of the definitive bands of the UK's 'post-romantic' musical era.
One of the most successful British bands of the mid eighties, the band set the benchmark for image/music fusion, establishing themselves as instantly recognisable both visually and orally. The trio, Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway, enjoyed international success and acclaim, scoring highly and regularly in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond.
The stuff of legend, Thompson Twins live shows encompassed the very best of music, dance and performance art. Side kicks: The Movie contains stunning live footage from a concert recorded exclusively to promote the release of their breakthrough album 'Quick Step and Side Kicks'.

Thomas Twins were awesome and still are!
No backing tracks, no autotune, no phones, real musicians a bit of ADT. Very good bass player. Tight.
There are some Backing tracks in 80s.
I think some backing track there, but great musicianship from the band and tight live sound.
@@wtorules4743 Tom Bailey can still sing like this, guy is amazing!
If I would have had a phone back then, the things I could have done. 🤯🤯🤯
The 80's was without doubt the best time ever!
I think there's probably actually some doubt there.
80's were DEFINITELY the BEST ERA EVER!!!👍😀🎵🎤🎶
Choose 80's forever folk's
Whoever did the audio mix on this knows what I like. This sounds over the top amazing.
What a nice live performance. It's so uncommon to hear live versions of synth-pop songs with an arrangement as good as the studio version (or even better!)
I'm 52 now love Thompson twins left school 1984 age 16
A great song and live performance----Just goes to show that all music back then didn't need screaming electric guitar leads that were mostly noise fillers to take up time.
Love to watch the bass man was on the spot !!!!!
Great group...
great song...🎶🙂👍
Incredible rithm...
Wonderful that Cherry Red posted a few of the songs on CZcams. Just a note, this concert took place in 1983, not 1986. :)
Old skool synth had plenty of guts and ooomph
Just great!!!
This is from 1983. How could the company that reissued this on DVD get that wrong in it's own post. I'm embarrassed for you Cherry Red. I saw them in 1985 and Alana was using her giant percussion rig by then and they had definitely moved on from the Sequential Prophet 5 and Pro-One synthesizers by that point. 1986 was the DX7/digital era. And most importantly, they were supporting their 1985 album Here's To Future Days with OMD opening. Not the Quick Step and Side Kick LP.
And I remember seeing this on TV at my family home, which I moved out of 1984 to go to college. I'm pretty sure it was seeing this that motivated me to buy Quick Step And Side Kick.
Que buena banda en mi adolescencia los escuché mucho
so cool, I love them
Saw this in Oakland. It was sick
FUN!!!!
Respect Tom yeah
This was 1983
at the front at the court happy days great live band
Tom in his Prime!
I saw this concert and I am pretty sure it was 84
bass line & synth
Timeless………………………………………
Forever,,,,,
a 10yr me stayed up late one saturday night to watch being broadcast on MTV. Years later I saw it in the VHS 2nd hand bargain bin. Wish it was available on DVD
PEC2528 awesome! It is available on DVD actually but is quite hard to come by
Boris Williams was with The Cure in 1986, so this has to be 1983.
He was guest drummer. In the 80s this was common amongst bands. Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins sang backing vocals to Foreigner's I want to know what love is!!
It is 1983.
Boris joined The Cure in late 1984.
The Great Boris Williams!!! The best drummer play The Cure!!!
Excellent musician
Third best for me after Jason and Andy.
If I could bring anything back from the 80s, it's the gated snare effect. Listen to the snare drum on this performance! Snares these days? I've heard mice fart louder.
The drummer performing here, Boris Williams, moved on to play drums for The Cure and contribute to their biggest selling albums, Head on the door, Disintegration , Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me and Wish.
Also Roger O Donell on keyboards(even though he is hidden in the dark). He would go on to play with the Psychedelic Furs and then the Cure who he is still with.
1983
thank you soooo much! my first concert ever 'concerts on the common-Boston- summer of '84'. I was eleven!!!! Into the Gap tour. such memories of young gay boy!!!! -Eric
2022 ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
4:41 Boris from The Cure.
👍
1983, please
Does anyone know who played bass on this tour? Saw 'em live, and this guy was AMAZING!
That's Andrew Bodnar, bassist from Graham Parker And The Rumour.
You only saw Andrew if you saw this tour, though. The bassist for the Into The Gap and Here's To Future Days tour was Mark Heyward-Chaplin, who played with Kim Wilde, Thomas Dolby and Lene Lovich.
When were they using the head microphones, which years
The concert was in 1983
It was not 1986, it was 1983 or 84!
This the Quick Step and Side Kicks Tour from 1983 which was released as Side Kicks - The Movie. Into the Gap wasn't released at this point.
@@davem4544 thank you!
Does anyone know the name of the percussion instrument Alannah is playing in the first part of the song?
Not sure cannot see it well. Could be castinets.
Thank you. I found they are orchestral castanets, indeed!
RAP BOY RAP
Thompson Twins lies Live at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, UK, 1986,,,,lies lies yeah why this song is not in video_????
Cool version apart from the fret less bass being out of tune with the track.
orangepeelx whats weird is he did this on tour, he goes note up instead of dropping down? I was so disappointed hearing it live twice....
+Chris Olegna he stays on the high octave because the low D at the end of the second half of the bass line is out of his bass guitar’s range, being that the lowest string on a standard tune is E, two semitones above that note. Still, he manages to pull off really well on bass guitar what was recorded on a synth (hence the extended low note)
@@celestinocamicia I always played this using my 5 string fretless to get the low D and noticed it was always played on a 4 so im wondering if on the original the bass was tuned down to D
Kenyon Mills on the original studio version, the bass line sounds very convincingly like a fretless, but it was actually played on a synth, hence the low note.
@@celestinocamicia interesting....very convincing indeed
