Not one of their greatest, but if you've ever fancied seeing the band sing into bananas, nearly get gassed by dry ice and watching Pete Kircher being startled by what appears to be an inflatable mattress, then this one's for you.

'Weird', don't come close to describing that!!
Kinda like a rock band [using someone else's equipment] in a very wide and bright WWI trench as the gas comes rollin' in... being threatened with a mattress/sandwich-with-no-filling! Gawd - makes the Coronation Street thing look sane. Actually, no. Scratch that. That was daft too. 😲

There was a few odd German TV appearances in the 80's, this being one of them - and the same show, Bananas, had them in flames in front of a castle miming to that terrible album version of Going Down Town Tonight. Then there was The Wanderer with some nuns standing solemnly in the background, and In The Army, with bunch of half-naked makeshift soldiers receiving their uniforms.

That keyboard sound on Going down tonight is a horrific noise sort sounds like a sound you hear at a fairground very karaoke

It's Andy on keyboards and Pete on drums. Clear to see. Alan was in Australia, I guess.

I haven't the strength to watch Going Down Town Tonight or In The Army Now, but that Wanderer performance is magnificently bizarre.
Why nuns? Unless the tv company were told that Rick and Francis had a habit.
Sorry...............
