1
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:19,359
Camera rolling.
And...

2
00:00:19,643 --> 00:00:22,571
Don't move.
There we go.

3
00:00:25,394 --> 00:00:28,154
The British define culture
pop as follows:

4
00:00:28,684 --> 00:00:30,378
comes from the street.

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,382
A gang of young people,
who have nothing to say,

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,423
start a band,
goes on stage

7
00:00:36,642 --> 00:00:39,569
and it happens here and now.

8
00:00:42,059 --> 00:00:45,188
- I'm Tony.
- I'm John.

9
00:00:45,309 --> 00:00:47,312
- I'm Steve.
- My name is Martin.

10
00:00:47,434 --> 00:00:49,604
I'm Gary and we are
"Spandau Ballet".

11
00:00:53,892 --> 00:00:56,607
The music is
completely excessive.

12
00:00:56,725 --> 00:00:59,606
It's just a laugh,
a giggle

13
00:01:04,684 --> 00:01:08,227
Rock 'n' Roll is a job
as a team, a little like soccer.

14
00:01:12,432 --> 00:01:16,225
I didn't want to be a cult figure,
but a pop star.

15
00:01:19,766 --> 00:01:23,523
I always thought that
success would make me happy.

16
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:31,402
July 23, 1979, I bought a
pair of pants in Pintos,

17
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,313
a Dusseldorf album
and 40 pints of beer

18
00:01:34,432 --> 00:01:36,317
for when mom and
Dad wasn't home

19
00:01:39,546 --> 00:01:42,567
Subtitles: Eva74

20
00:02:23,305 --> 00:02:25,984
Okay?
Has it turned out well?

21
00:02:35,013 --> 00:02:41,388
Islington, London
In the early 1960s.

22
00:02:44,804 --> 00:02:49,190
London in the 60s, only 15
years after World War 2.

23
00:02:49,388 --> 00:02:53,227
At that time people lived
in the same area for a long time.

24
00:02:53,346 --> 00:02:55,349
They were very familiar communities.

25
00:03:09,346 --> 00:03:11,349
If you were doing pranks
when you were a child,

26
00:03:11,554 --> 00:03:15,144
your mother would receive you at home
with the following words:

27
00:03:15,262 --> 00:03:17,560
"A little bird told me."

28
00:03:17,678 --> 00:03:21,351
And you just thought:
"Oh no, they gave me away."

29
00:03:25,511 --> 00:03:28,687
After the war, the parents
They had great hopes for their children.

30
00:03:30,928 --> 00:03:35,314
We were the generation whose parents
They thought we would do great things.

31
00:03:38,053 --> 00:03:40,731
You didn't have it easy.

32
00:03:42,511 --> 00:03:43,949
GREAT BARGAINS.

33
00:03:49,510 --> 00:03:51,824
When I was a child,
I liked soul music.

34
00:03:52,052 --> 00:03:53,557
STEVE NORMAN.
GUITAR, DRUMS, SAXOPHONE.

35
00:03:53,781 --> 00:03:57,351
With my grandparents,
I always listened to No. 1.

36
00:03:57,469 --> 00:03:59,140
"Signed, Sealed,
Delivered I'm Yours"

37
00:03:59,261 --> 00:04:01,559
This is still
my favorite song

38
00:04:17,676 --> 00:04:20,307
My father had a very taste
eclectic for music.

39
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:24,597
He liked The Peddlers, George Shear
but also the Beach Boys.

40
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,012
Paternal side of the family
It sparked my interest in music.

41
00:04:28,217 --> 00:04:32,519
From the maternal side, on the other hand,
He had a tendency towards interpretation.

42
00:04:32,717 --> 00:04:35,680
My grandmother was a dancer
and acrobat in the circus.

43
00:04:35,884 --> 00:04:39,262
My grandmother's photos gave me
the vision of another world.

44
00:04:39,384 --> 00:04:42,595
She toured America.
That's in my blood.

45
00:04:48,466 --> 00:04:50,055
JOHN KEEBLE.
BATTERY.

46
00:04:50,174 --> 00:04:52,640
I grew up in Kentish Town,
in north London.

47
00:04:52,758 --> 00:04:56,467
My father was a carver
and later truck driver.

48
00:04:56,591 --> 00:05:00,680
The truth is that he didn't work
in what he liked.

49
00:05:01,842 --> 00:05:04,519
It was easy for me:
I wanted to do something fun.

50
00:05:04,716 --> 00:05:08,722
I had three options: enter
england cricket team,

51
00:05:08,841 --> 00:05:12,349
play for Arsenal or become
on drums in a rock band.

52
00:05:15,133 --> 00:05:18,344
my parents never
They had neither a house nor a car.

53
00:05:18,466 --> 00:05:23,431
But we had a Grundig
Maple-colored radiogram,

54
00:05:23,632 --> 00:05:25,267
paid in installments.

55
00:05:25,465 --> 00:05:29,471
Without a doubt it was the most expensive thing
that my parents had bought.

56
00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:34,933
My father
They liked parties.

57
00:05:35,132 --> 00:05:36,886
They turned on the Stereogramm,

58
00:05:37,090 --> 00:05:38,726
they opened the furniture
house bar

59
00:05:38,923 --> 00:05:40,927
and then we dance
all night

60
00:05:58,422 --> 00:06:00,472
TONY HADLEY.
SINGER.

61
00:06:00,589 --> 00:06:03,718
I have a good memory of myself
working class childhood.

62
00:06:04,048 --> 00:06:06,222
Much of the family
He worked for newspapers.

63
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,097
My father worked as
electrician in the Daily Mail.

64
00:06:10,797 --> 00:06:13,131
I visited him in Fleet Street.

65
00:06:13,255 --> 00:06:18,256
It was a great place then and I
He boasted that he worked there.

66
00:06:23,005 --> 00:06:26,844
To my parents really
They liked Frank Sinatra.

67
00:06:27,047 --> 00:06:28,800
But also
Tony Bennett and Ella Fitz.

68
00:06:34,212 --> 00:06:37,803
When I decided to become
singer, my parents told me:

69
00:06:38,004 --> 00:06:39,924
"Look at the old artists."

70
00:06:40,046 --> 00:06:43,424
I recorded myself singing
songs from those old albums.

71
00:06:43,588 --> 00:06:47,345
When I heard it, I thought:
"Boy, you're not bad, not at all."

72
00:06:49,712 --> 00:06:52,924
GARY KEMP.
COMPOSER, GUITAR.

73
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:56,968
The first music that
I heard it was Glam Rock.

74
00:06:57,253 --> 00:06:59,588
david bowie
Roxy Music, T. Rex.

75
00:07:13,503 --> 00:07:15,837
When David Bowie sang
"Starman" on Top of the Pops,

76
00:07:16,065 --> 00:07:18,427
It was a momentous moment.
for my generation.

77
00:07:18,628 --> 00:07:20,548
All engines running.

78
00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:22,922
For the "Apollo generation",
to which I belonged,

79
00:07:23,128 --> 00:07:25,594
rock music was
from another planet.

80
00:07:25,795 --> 00:07:28,128
And I wanted to be from that planet.

81
00:07:30,586 --> 00:07:32,919
This is the launch
of the rocket.

82
00:07:47,044 --> 00:07:49,426
At Christmas they gave me
a guitar, something surprise you.

83
00:07:49,627 --> 00:07:51,465
Our family does not
It was not musical at all.

84
00:07:54,877 --> 00:07:57,342
I had a magazine
"Play In A Day" by Bert Weedon

85
00:07:57,543 --> 00:07:59,012
and I learned
"If I Had a Hammer."

86
00:07:59,126 --> 00:08:02,053
I liked the chords,
but not the melody.

87
00:08:02,167 --> 00:08:03,969
That's the reason I started
to compose my own music.

88
00:08:04,834 --> 00:08:08,343
Soon, I presented two of my
songs in a school competition.

89
00:08:08,459 --> 00:08:10,925
I still have the recording
What my father did.

90
00:08:11,126 --> 00:08:14,550
<i>When I sleep,
I dream that I am a king.</i>

91
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:18,092
<i>There are many people
and a choir sings.</i>

92
00:08:18,209 --> 00:08:21,883
<i>They are all my guests,
They are all my friends</i>

93
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:26,338
<i>But then I wake up
and everything ends.</i>

94
00:08:30,001 --> 00:08:32,845
The Bishop of Stepney was there,
to give the prizes.

95
00:08:32,958 --> 00:08:35,920
A week later he came
to our house, unannounced.

96
00:08:36,041 --> 00:08:38,210
my mother was
surprised

97
00:08:40,791 --> 00:08:42,841
he was a giant
purple dress

98
00:08:43,041 --> 00:08:46,217
It's like Batman is sitting
in a corner of the room.

99
00:08:46,416 --> 00:08:48,336
I'm not exaggerating.

100
00:08:48,458 --> 00:08:51,545
I found it very funny,
whatever it was.

101
00:08:55,167 --> 00:08:58,591
He gave me a recorder, the device
most modern there was in our house.

102
00:08:58,791 --> 00:09:01,718
You should record and send
every song he wrote.

103
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:05,672
It was Thursday. I know, because
was broadcasting "Top of the Pops."

104
00:09:06,665 --> 00:09:09,249
 �Welcome to
"Top of the Pops"!

105
00:09:09,957 --> 00:09:13,216
Rod Stewart sang "Maggie May"
and for the first time I thought:

106
00:09:13,415 --> 00:09:16,675
I'll do that too.
Maybe one day I will be like him. "

107
00:09:32,415 --> 00:09:35,259
Gary and I share a room,
until I was eleven years old.

108
00:09:35,373 --> 00:09:40,089
In its half there were posters
of "Yes" and David Bowie.

109
00:09:40,289 --> 00:09:43,584
I had a poster of
Bruce Lee and football.

110
00:09:44,372 --> 00:09:47,418
Gary and I were
in a theater group:

111
00:09:47,539 --> 00:09:49,210
children's theater
by Anna Scher.

112
00:09:49,331 --> 00:09:53,467
We always start
with a warm-up.

113
00:09:54,164 --> 00:09:58,834
My mom sent me so
I would get rid of my shyness.

114
00:09:58,956 --> 00:10:02,416
From a very early age he developed
a preference for acting.

115
00:10:02,622 --> 00:10:05,632
That was a great
piece by Bob Wilson.

116
00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:07,335
Show me the map.

117
00:10:07,454 --> 00:10:10,963
- No, I lost it.
- What?

118
00:10:11,788 --> 00:10:16,339
What we have seen is the
first generation of TV.

119
00:10:16,455 --> 00:10:19,714
The first to grow
with television.

120
00:10:19,830 --> 00:10:22,412
That will be part
of his memories.

121
00:10:23,246 --> 00:10:26,007
Gary and I play a lot.

122
00:10:26,121 --> 00:10:29,499
But Gary was interested.
more and more in his music.

123
00:10:30,371 --> 00:10:33,547
I was two years older
Younger than Gary. Even today.

124
00:10:33,746 --> 00:10:36,958
At that time, two years were
a very big gap.

125
00:10:41,162 --> 00:10:43,081
He played on a
band with Phil Daniels.

126
00:10:43,203 --> 00:10:46,213
I was proud that
He was on stage.

127
00:10:47,745 --> 00:10:51,372
Except Martin, we were all
at Dame Alice Scheen School.

128
00:10:51,578 --> 00:10:53,628
It was the best school
of the area.

129
00:10:53,745 --> 00:10:56,590
The best thing was that you
recognized for your skills.

130
00:10:56,703 --> 00:10:58,256
I have no idea
how Tony came in.

131
00:10:58,454 --> 00:11:02,672
Steve Norman was on my level.
Musically we had a lot in common.

132
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:06,164
Gary and I met Steve Dagger,
he carried the scene in his soul.

133
00:11:09,203 --> 00:11:11,999
Steve Dagger was about
few classes above me.

134
00:11:12,202 --> 00:11:13,956
I was fascinated with
the music of the 60s,

135
00:11:14,181 --> 00:11:18,249
especially from cult managers
Andrew Loog Oldham and Peter Meaden.

136
00:11:20,494 --> 00:11:22,829
I grew up swinging
Sixties West End.

137
00:11:22,953 --> 00:11:26,168
He wanted to grow to join.

138
00:11:26,493 --> 00:11:29,456
When I grew up,
everything was over.

139
00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:33,251
I was looking for those incredible
people, but they were no longer there.

140
00:11:39,119 --> 00:11:40,671
Punk changed everything.

141
00:11:40,869 --> 00:11:44,744
Steve Dagger took me and Steve
to "Screen on the Green" in 1976,

142
00:11:44,952 --> 00:11:46,669
to see the Sex Pistols.

143
00:11:54,576 --> 00:11:56,626
When school started
again in September,

144
00:11:57,243 --> 00:11:59,577
Steve Norman and I wanted
form a band.

145
00:11:59,784 --> 00:12:03,542
Unfortunately, we did not have
no bassist, no singer and no drummer.

146
00:12:04,285 --> 00:12:07,993
Steve Norman and I started
to play in the music room.

147
00:12:08,117 --> 00:12:10,251
John Keeble too
It was over there.

148
00:12:10,367 --> 00:12:12,370
I saw Steve Norman
for the first time

149
00:12:12,492 --> 00:12:14,743
playing the guitar in the
sixth grade common room.

150
00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:18,209
The song "Clap" was playing
by Steve Howe of "Yes."

151
00:12:18,325 --> 00:12:22,283
This is a guitar piece
Very complex progressive rock.

152
00:12:27,742 --> 00:12:29,744
I was very impressed.

153
00:12:30,533 --> 00:12:34,586
Then came Richard Miller, who
He was also at our school.

154
00:12:36,950 --> 00:12:41,335
The last piece of the puzzle was
Tony Hadley, who joined as a singer.

155
00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:43,476
Tony called me
the attention

156
00:12:43,492 --> 00:12:47,035
He was a source of conflict
because it was stupid, big and long.

157
00:12:51,407 --> 00:12:53,955
He approached me
in the common room.

158
00:12:54,073 --> 00:12:58,376
He told me: "You're looking for a singer
For your band, I can do it. "

159
00:12:59,074 --> 00:13:00,579
It left us speechless.

160
00:13:00,782 --> 00:13:03,248
I didn't like it,
but he knew how to sing.

161
00:13:12,073 --> 00:13:14,705
Bagger said he could
get us gigs.

162
00:13:14,907 --> 00:13:18,414
His obsession with rock 'n' roll
qualified him as a manager.

163
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:20,036
So we said yes.

164
00:13:20,406 --> 00:13:22,954
We take advantage of all the
opportunities to touch.

165
00:13:23,073 --> 00:13:25,621
we were a young band
and we wanted to play.

166
00:13:29,865 --> 00:13:32,874
For the jubilee of
the Queen of 1977

167
00:13:33,072 --> 00:13:37,291
we did two performances.

168
00:13:37,406 --> 00:13:40,451
One on Inglebert Street
and another in Bevin Court.

169
00:13:40,614 --> 00:13:42,203
My parents live opposite.

170
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:45,204
We played for hours.

171
00:14:01,988 --> 00:14:06,041
When I was young, I swore
dedicate my life to people.

172
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:10,123
I don't regret this,
nor do I withdraw my commitment.

173
00:14:13,905 --> 00:14:16,488
we call each other
The Roots and The Cut.

174
00:14:17,738 --> 00:14:21,576
Then we were The Makers and I thought that
with that name we would be "doers."

175
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:23,615
I'm sorry,
for the play on words.

176
00:14:25,529 --> 00:14:27,117
Gary and Steve
They wrote the letters.

177
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,201
It was exciting, because sometimes
We were playing in front of a group of punks,

178
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,327
and then back in front
a pub-rock audience.

179
00:14:40,653 --> 00:14:44,660
It was magical, when Gary and the boys
They hung their guitars.

180
00:14:44,778 --> 00:14:48,322
These normal guys suddenly
They had incredible charisma.

181
00:14:49,404 --> 00:14:51,537
The music was loud.
They were noisy.

182
00:14:52,611 --> 00:14:54,449
And I was jealous.

183
00:14:59,694 --> 00:15:01,282
My brother was the
street hero

184
00:15:01,485 --> 00:15:03,619
Dagger wanted it
in the band,

185
00:15:03,819 --> 00:15:05,988
because he was the nicest guy
attractive that we knew.

186
00:15:06,194 --> 00:15:08,991
Our bassist Richard Miller
he had to be fired.

187
00:15:09,111 --> 00:15:11,031
We leave that job to Dagger.

188
00:15:11,236 --> 00:15:12,990
We agreed to meet
in the York pub.

189
00:15:13,194 --> 00:15:16,904
They only appeared
Steve Dagger and Richard Miller.

190
00:15:17,111 --> 00:15:21,745
We meet in another pub,
We looked at the beer and were sad.

191
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,318
At first I didn't like the idea, but Martin
He was born to be a pop star.

192
00:15:34,693 --> 00:15:36,364
PUNK IS DEAD.

193
00:15:37,860 --> 00:15:39,944
Punk had
out of fashion

194
00:15:40,151 --> 00:15:42,367
The movement
I had no destination.

195
00:15:44,609 --> 00:15:48,319
The Sex Pistols did not perform
at Wembley. things were going bad.

196
00:15:48,526 --> 00:15:50,576
At some point,
It just disappeared.

197
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,783
We look for our way.

198
00:15:59,901 --> 00:16:01,827
We returned to our roots:

199
00:16:02,036 --> 00:16:04,119
angular hairstyles and
"peg leg" pants.

200
00:16:04,316 --> 00:16:07,197
We even went to clubs,
again, just to dance.

201
00:16:15,317 --> 00:16:20,152
It was mostly rock music,
the one who bought and listened.

202
00:16:20,275 --> 00:16:24,233
But I danced a lot of Soul.
I really enjoyed dancing it.

203
00:16:39,691 --> 00:16:42,369
The direction of the wind changed and
we became The Gentry.

204
00:16:42,566 --> 00:16:45,575
The problem with Gentry was
that we were neither here nor there.

205
00:16:45,773 --> 00:16:48,191
We were just a band
who was looking for an audience.

206
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:52,108
That was the first time in years,
that we didn't have any event.

207
00:16:54,524 --> 00:16:56,029
I was knackered.

208
00:16:56,149 --> 00:16:57,654
I was finally
in the band,

209
00:16:57,774 --> 00:17:00,451
but it seemed to be over
before starting.

210
00:17:03,648 --> 00:17:05,946
"We are not going to enter,
until they pay!

211
00:17:06,147 --> 00:17:08,364
- Will they win the strike?
- Yes, of course.

212
00:17:08,564 --> 00:17:10,697
- How long will the strike last?
- Indefinitely.

213
00:17:14,523 --> 00:17:16,487
WE'RE SORRY.
WE DON'T HAVE GASOLINE.

214
00:17:18,731 --> 00:17:20,468
FINISHING IS PROHIBITED
WITH THE STRIKE.

215
00:17:21,065 --> 00:17:24,027
The winter of discontent
passed by me.

216
00:17:24,231 --> 00:17:27,490
I had my head in the clouds
and I wanted to live in Graceland.

217
00:17:27,606 --> 00:17:29,111
I wanted to be Elvis

218
00:17:29,314 --> 00:17:32,110
and I didn't even think about the unions
nor in Margaret Thatcher.

219
00:17:32,313 --> 00:17:36,864
What type of government
He is the one who gives up his power

220
00:17:36,980 --> 00:17:39,528
to the strike committees?

221
00:17:47,521 --> 00:17:49,855
There are negotiations.

222
00:17:50,063 --> 00:17:53,109
Answer the question!
Don't be so political!

223
00:17:53,313 --> 00:17:55,032
You don't want to go back
to school?

224
00:17:55,230 --> 00:17:59,651
But when the janitors
get your salary. Not before.

225
00:18:13,395 --> 00:18:16,254
Rents are going up,
the price of milk too.

226
00:18:16,479 --> 00:18:18,114
You can't live like that.

227
00:18:23,979 --> 00:18:26,278
It's horrible, all
these are the damn strikes

228
00:18:26,396 --> 00:18:29,489
of the socialist unions
communists of this country.

229
00:18:29,686 --> 00:18:35,446
This allows us to free
Great Britain of socialism.

230
00:18:35,644 --> 00:18:38,489
I'm always waiting
a good fight.

231
00:18:40,769 --> 00:18:42,654
Of course,
not physically.

232
00:18:44,728 --> 00:18:49,729
SOHO, LONDON.
OCTOBER 1978.

233
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,648
In 1978 Soho
It was very different.

234
00:18:53,769 --> 00:18:58,735
The streets were more
dark and terrifying.

235
00:19:12,059 --> 00:19:15,568
Soho was a miserable place and
you had to be careful.

236
00:19:16,643 --> 00:19:18,977
It was exciting and dirty.

237
00:19:23,435 --> 00:19:25,604
London was cool.

238
00:19:25,810 --> 00:19:28,228
There were Rockabillys, Punks,
Soulboys and Teddys.

239
00:19:28,643 --> 00:19:31,321
Each one was looking
the next big thing.

240
00:19:31,518 --> 00:19:34,196
Dagger had been
at Billy's in Soho.

241
00:19:34,392 --> 00:19:37,024
The club was run by
Tuesday Steve Strange.

242
00:19:37,226 --> 00:19:41,231
We opened this nightclub like
An alternative to discs.

243
00:19:42,267 --> 00:19:43,986
He showed me the
advertising that said:

244
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:48,735
"Fame, fame, fame. Get on the train
nocturnal " "I couldn't resist. "

245
00:19:51,017 --> 00:19:53,483
I was at the bar with Dagger
when he said:

246
00:19:53,767 --> 00:19:56,184
"That's it. That's exactly it."
what we were looking for.

247
00:19:56,391 --> 00:19:58,229
We can be the
band of this scene. "

248
00:19:58,433 --> 00:20:02,191
DJ Rusty Egan mixed
Bowie and Ferry songs

249
00:20:02,308 --> 00:20:05,520
with disco music and sounds
avant-garde Europeans.

250
00:20:05,642 --> 00:20:08,818
I created something that sounded
like the future.

251
00:20:08,934 --> 00:20:10,438
I was impressed.

252
00:20:11,558 --> 00:20:12,944
Then the 80s began.

253
00:20:13,141 --> 00:20:15,855
Conflict, mistakes,
doubts, despair.

254
00:20:16,057 --> 00:20:19,067
 �Wants to revolutionize
the club culture?

255
00:20:19,265 --> 00:20:22,359
I want to feel that always
we are doing something new

256
00:20:22,557 --> 00:20:26,397
Within weeks, Steve and
Rusty left the Billy.

257
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,017
They went to the Blitz Club,
in Covent Garden.

258
00:20:29,224 --> 00:20:31,808
He soon became the
London fashion spot.

259
00:20:31,933 --> 00:20:34,647
- Are you ready?
- No, I take my time.

260
00:20:40,015 --> 00:20:42,941
Tuesday night was, without a doubt,
the best night of the week.

261
00:20:43,139 --> 00:20:45,557
everyone wanted
enter the Blitz.

262
00:20:46,348 --> 00:20:50,816
All week you were looking for something
new one that you could use on Tuesday.

263
00:20:50,931 --> 00:20:55,234
Who has style, can wear everything.
Everything really

264
00:20:55,432 --> 00:20:58,773
There were many great
nobodies in the Blitz.

265
00:20:58,972 --> 00:21:01,271
These teenagers thought
who were already famous.

266
00:21:01,472 --> 00:21:03,807
They were very friendly.

267
00:21:16,722 --> 00:21:19,933
The Blitz was great. It was like
being on the set of a movie.

268
00:21:22,805 --> 00:21:27,724
We were too young for the punk scene,
but in the Blitz there were many companions.

269
00:21:27,930 --> 00:21:30,312
This could become
in ours.

270
00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:39,768
The Blitz was small and dark,
intense and subversive.

271
00:21:39,972 --> 00:21:43,894
Much of my personality
was formed in this club,

272
00:21:44,013 --> 00:21:46,139
in this mix of ex-punks,

273
00:21:46,349 --> 00:21:48,849
art students,
soul boys and soul girls.

274
00:21:50,596 --> 00:21:55,100
They were like us: kids from the class
North London worker.

275
00:21:59,513 --> 00:22:02,723
Steve Dagger, me,
Gary, Tony and Steve,

276
00:22:02,845 --> 00:22:06,021
We were regular customers
of 1979 of the Blitz.

277
00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:09,515
Tuesdays from 10:00 p.m. to
3:00 in the morning

278
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,857
we passed the time, consuming
Speed and drinking beer.

279
00:22:14,054 --> 00:22:16,685
One develops a nerve,
if you are surrounded by people

280
00:22:16,804 --> 00:22:18,308
who are dressed like you.

281
00:22:18,511 --> 00:22:22,250
One is convinced that one can
Smash everyone or launch a big hit.

282
00:22:22,387 --> 00:22:24,685
Or both.

283
00:22:28,594 --> 00:22:32,980
Everyone in the Blitz was a designer.
writers or filmmakers.

284
00:22:33,178 --> 00:22:36,473
We all had a lot of
ideas and we talked about it all night.

285
00:22:36,594 --> 00:22:38,230
We had the feeling that

286
00:22:38,345 --> 00:22:40,893
we were creating a manifesto
creative from the 80s.

287
00:22:42,553 --> 00:22:45,895
One day, Steve Dagger told me:
"I'm the manager of a band."

288
00:22:46,011 --> 00:22:47,516
I replied: "Sure."

289
00:22:47,636 --> 00:22:50,728
I have a band, you give it a new
name, you write the first review,

290
00:22:50,843 --> 00:22:52,846
we become famous and
you become a journalist. "

291
00:22:52,968 --> 00:22:54,639
Function.

292
00:22:56,968 --> 00:22:59,102
You have to put on
underway.

293
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:09,642
I wanted to get rid of our
old songs and start again.

294
00:23:10,551 --> 00:23:12,471
<i>We need a compass
four by four,</i>

295
00:23:12,676 --> 00:23:16,137
choppy guitars
and synth lines.

296
00:23:16,260 --> 00:23:19,354
The problem was that we had
than buy a synthesizer.

297
00:23:19,468 --> 00:23:22,478
Gary, the smartest of us,
wrote a song.

298
00:23:24,092 --> 00:23:28,726
At some point we had to face each other
to our trusting audience.

299
00:23:31,592 --> 00:23:33,926
We decided to give a
presentation concert

300
00:23:34,134 --> 00:23:38,222
in a place where we sat
insurance: Halligan's Rehearsal Studio

301
00:23:38,425 --> 00:23:40,227
We do the test
of the battery?

302
00:23:40,342 --> 00:23:42,973
Our public does not
I used to go to concerts.

303
00:23:43,092 --> 00:23:45,770
They were extremely critical,
although they knew us,

304
00:23:45,884 --> 00:23:47,721
doesn't mean no
They would like the music.

305
00:23:50,967 --> 00:23:53,265
Surprisingly,
They all came.

306
00:23:54,132 --> 00:23:58,553
Bob Elms, Christos,
Sullivan, Steve Strange.

307
00:23:59,341 --> 00:24:04,141
We invited those we considered
Arrogant Londoners:

308
00:24:04,258 --> 00:24:06,510
Thinkers and creators,
dancers and drinkers.

309
00:24:06,633 --> 00:24:09,180
If you liked it, then hopefully
than everyone else too.

310
00:24:10,007 --> 00:24:11,761
I was extremely nervous.

311
00:24:11,965 --> 00:24:15,225
If they didn't like it,
We didn't have a plan B.

312
00:24:16,299 --> 00:24:20,685
In the middle of the shadow,
a canvas appears.

313
00:24:22,174 --> 00:24:25,800
A light kiss breaks it,
to reveal the moment

314
00:24:25,923 --> 00:24:27,808
in which all
mirrors are superfluous.

315
00:24:49,882 --> 00:24:55,724
The performance in that room, that day, was
probably the most important one we had.

316
00:24:56,464 --> 00:24:59,888
It was a relief to see the
joy on their faces.

317
00:25:00,088 --> 00:25:02,803
In the morning, I realized
that we were his band.

318
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:17,556
But we had a terrible name:
The Gentry.

319
00:25:17,755 --> 00:25:19,675
Bob Elms finished
returning from Berlin.

320
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,807
On a bathroom wall,
I had read "Spandau Ballet"

321
00:25:22,922 --> 00:25:25,553
and I thought it sounded exotic.

322
00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:31,097
It was perfect, classic, a touch
from "Cabaret" by Liza Minnelli.

323
00:25:31,213 --> 00:25:33,760
Everyone loved the name.
We begin.

324
00:25:34,879 --> 00:25:39,714
Shortly after joining Halligan's,
Steve Strange hired us for the Blitz.

325
00:25:44,004 --> 00:25:46,422
That was the place
where we wanted to be.

326
00:25:49,004 --> 00:25:53,390
There are young people who go to a
concert and then they just consume.

327
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:56,514
Then there are young people,
They are the center of attention in a club.

328
00:25:56,629 --> 00:25:58,797
They are the most
important in the club.

329
00:25:59,004 --> 00:26:03,803
Are you saying that young people are more
important than you the band?

330
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,254
No, we are them.

331
00:26:14,212 --> 00:26:16,889
Janet Street Porter produced
a youth program

332
00:26:17,086 --> 00:26:18,887
called Twentieth Century Box.

333
00:26:19,086 --> 00:26:22,132
Years ago they had made a
documentary about Sex Pistols.

334
00:26:23,169 --> 00:26:27,922
Now they called us: "We have heard that
you are hitting We want to shoot it. "

335
00:26:28,044 --> 00:26:32,299
Since the distant times of punk
there was no youth movement in London.

336
00:26:32,419 --> 00:26:36,721
But there is a band that, in their opinion,
It could mark the beginning of a new era.

337
00:26:37,543 --> 00:26:39,628
It was something very important
for us.

338
00:26:39,751 --> 00:26:42,050
It was a great advance for
a band without a contract,

339
00:26:42,251 --> 00:26:44,468
appear on television
on Sunday morning.

340
00:26:44,585 --> 00:26:46,090
Incredible.

341
00:26:46,293 --> 00:26:50,216
The music business
It's been dirty for years.

342
00:26:50,335 --> 00:26:53,097
The Spandau Ballet band always
has been fashion conscious.

343
00:26:53,294 --> 00:26:58,638
Everyone has their own taste,
although we all have the same style.

344
00:26:58,751 --> 00:27:02,378
This style has to do
with elegance and romance.

345
00:27:02,585 --> 00:27:06,293
For lunch, the band has
chosen an elegant wine bar,

346
00:27:06,417 --> 00:27:09,001
where to talk about your
musical influences.

347
00:27:09,126 --> 00:27:12,255
We want the
band always be

348
00:27:12,376 --> 00:27:17,046
the contemporary statement
of modern London.

349
00:27:18,126 --> 00:27:21,503
we dress
like the modern ones

350
00:27:22,583 --> 00:27:24,503
and like the most thinkers
London progressives.

351
00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:27,594
Always. It looks like a pose,
but that's how we think.

352
00:27:29,667 --> 00:27:35,179
We were invited to the Club
Parrot in Saint-Tropez.

353
00:27:35,376 --> 00:27:37,425
Saint-Tropez!

354
00:27:37,625 --> 00:27:41,961
We didn't believe it when
Dagger told us. It was great.

355
00:27:42,166 --> 00:27:43,836
Nobody had been
in Saint-Tropez.

356
00:27:46,541 --> 00:27:49,752
My God. At most, we had
given a concert in Basildon.

357
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,380
Bryan Ferry passed
out there with his jet.

358
00:28:02,082 --> 00:28:03,920
we were
in a minibus.

359
00:28:05,749 --> 00:28:08,379
Working class kids
in Saint-Tropez. What is this?

360
00:28:08,581 --> 00:28:12,172
The people took care of us,
but for the wrong reasons.

361
00:28:12,373 --> 00:28:15,668
We wore rubber boots
and riding pants.

362
00:28:15,873 --> 00:28:19,216
We had two concerts
every night.

363
00:28:19,415 --> 00:28:21,383
This is what
join a band.

364
00:28:22,874 --> 00:28:28,882
It was the glamour, the glamor
and the old school style,

365
00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:30,918
what we were looking for.

366
00:28:31,123 --> 00:28:35,260
The middle class read books with
big hats and visited churches.

367
00:28:36,332 --> 00:28:38,299
We sunbathed.

368
00:28:39,372 --> 00:28:41,008
Four, take one.

369
00:28:41,206 --> 00:28:43,588
We return to England.

370
00:28:43,706 --> 00:28:47,296
We were on TV and
at Twentieth Century Box.

371
00:28:47,413 --> 00:28:48,965
We were famous, so to speak.

372
00:28:49,163 --> 00:28:51,498
What comes out of
your mouth is garbage!

373
00:28:51,705 --> 00:28:54,632
Terrible.
"The future is Rock."

374
00:28:56,372 --> 00:28:58,173
It's not our thing, friend.

375
00:28:58,289 --> 00:29:01,251
Dagger said that many record labels
They wanted to sign with us.

376
00:29:01,372 --> 00:29:04,169
But he wanted
We would do another show.

377
00:29:04,289 --> 00:29:06,919
A true spectacle of
London in a spectacular location.

378
00:29:07,121 --> 00:29:09,041
to us
we liked the idea.

379
00:29:09,163 --> 00:29:13,038
His father suggested
HMS Belfast on the Thames.

380
00:29:17,579 --> 00:29:20,709
HMS BELFAST, LONDON.
JULY 1980.

381
00:29:37,662 --> 00:29:43,339
The room was full of pirates,
Robin Hoods and gangsters of the 1940s.

382
00:29:43,537 --> 00:29:47,495
Dagger had organized a
night that no one would forget.

383
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:49,504
Who wanted to be someone,
was there.

384
00:29:56,911 --> 00:30:01,130
Spandau was the most
big without contract in the country.

385
00:30:02,328 --> 00:30:05,006
All the big companies
They chased us.

386
00:30:06,328 --> 00:30:10,167
We were convinced that
We would sign a record contract.

387
00:30:10,369 --> 00:30:13,415
Chrysalis Records
I won the race.

388
00:30:16,202 --> 00:30:19,378
Under our own seal
we had creative control

389
00:30:19,577 --> 00:30:22,208
and we got a great
amount of money.

390
00:30:25,077 --> 00:30:29,166
There was no time to sit
and say, "Aren't we great?"

391
00:30:29,286 --> 00:30:32,710
The dynamics increase.
Everything really begins.

392
00:30:34,285 --> 00:30:37,745
Five young people from Islington dazzle
in the music industry.

393
00:30:37,868 --> 00:30:40,334
<i>Today on Top of the Pops,
Spandau Ballet!</i>

394
00:30:44,369 --> 00:30:46,453
What a gift for
my 18th birthday!

395
00:30:46,659 --> 00:30:50,452
We signed a record contract
and we appeared on Top of the Pops.

396
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:52,827
It meant a lot to us
to tell at home,

397
00:30:53,034 --> 00:30:55,037
that we would be
on Top of the Pops.

398
00:30:55,242 --> 00:30:58,205
Every week, 16 million
people watched this program.

399
00:30:58,409 --> 00:31:00,329
Even grandmothers.

400
00:31:00,534 --> 00:31:02,703
It was like a dream.

401
00:31:05,451 --> 00:31:08,497
We sold half a million copies
from our first single.

402
00:31:08,618 --> 00:31:13,038
Instead of a few
Young people, we played on television.

403
00:31:13,158 --> 00:31:15,660
We said we could
do it and we did it.

404
00:31:35,241 --> 00:31:38,619
For a few weeks, the
pop music and fashion scene

405
00:31:38,741 --> 00:31:40,958
are influenced by a
new youth movement.

406
00:31:41,074 --> 00:31:43,871
The New Romantics or the Blitz-Kids.

407
00:31:44,074 --> 00:31:49,953
New Romantics, Blitz-Kids, Artists,
Optimists, Defectors, Narcissists,

408
00:31:50,157 --> 00:31:53,701
Fashion icons and
Ur-Band band from the 80s.

409
00:31:53,824 --> 00:31:55,873
What do you call yourselves?

410
00:31:59,323 --> 00:32:01,622
After appearing in
Top of the Pops

411
00:32:01,823 --> 00:32:04,075
the Blitz gate
It didn't stop opening.

412
00:32:04,282 --> 00:32:06,332
Everyone went there.

413
00:32:07,615 --> 00:32:10,578
New Romantic fashion
appeared in stores.

414
00:32:10,699 --> 00:32:15,451
Even Topshop sold blouses with
ruffles and baggy pants.

415
00:32:22,114 --> 00:32:27,079
It's a mix of clothes
New Romantic and Soul.

416
00:32:27,739 --> 00:32:30,370
This is similar to the old
Blitz Kids style.

417
00:32:30,572 --> 00:32:33,951
I just saw one.
Terrible.

418
00:32:34,156 --> 00:32:35,661
They look like trash.

419
00:32:35,864 --> 00:32:39,537
Why do you dress like that?
Isn't it sexually confusing?

420
00:32:39,655 --> 00:32:42,417
It's just an attitude, that
young people have always had.

421
00:32:42,530 --> 00:32:44,284
It is innate in the
working class.

422
00:32:44,489 --> 00:32:47,499
The middle class
You want to minimize it.

423
00:32:47,614 --> 00:32:51,833
She wears ripped jeans
and they are aggressive.

424
00:32:51,947 --> 00:32:53,914
But that's not the idea
of the working class.

425
00:32:54,030 --> 00:32:57,490
So, it's a movement
natural waiting to come out?

426
00:32:57,613 --> 00:33:01,156
Yes, it has been around for years.

427
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:06,411
You can find it in clubs
70's soul and 60's mods.

428
00:33:10,738 --> 00:33:12,706
It all started
with Beau Brummell.

429
00:33:12,904 --> 00:33:15,915
People are not clear,
that dandyism

430
00:33:16,030 --> 00:33:19,159
It's basically a conspiracy
against the aristocracy.

431
00:33:19,988 --> 00:33:22,286
According to Dandyism, all
gentlemen are equal.

432
00:33:22,487 --> 00:33:24,953
The sense of
style is here.

433
00:33:29,195 --> 00:33:31,079
What do you think about
of being imitated?

434
00:33:31,195 --> 00:33:35,533
I don't mind. so soon
They copy me, I have already changed.

435
00:33:35,737 --> 00:33:40,205
Not everyone has style. If not
If they tried, they would be unhappy.

436
00:33:40,404 --> 00:33:43,365
Some have style,
others don't.

437
00:33:43,569 --> 00:33:45,822
Would you wear this?

438
00:33:45,945 --> 00:33:48,446
If it were very cold,
I think so.

439
00:33:48,653 --> 00:33:50,092
What's next?

440
00:33:52,111 --> 00:33:53,664
It sounds like
a great review.

441
00:33:53,862 --> 00:33:55,912
-Yes?
- Five stars.

442
00:33:56,028 --> 00:33:57,616
- Really?
- Yes.

443
00:33:57,736 --> 00:34:00,450
- Good. Do you have it here?
- No.

444
00:34:00,652 --> 00:34:02,537
Richard had it too.

445
00:34:02,652 --> 00:34:05,413
They did two interviews. Richard
He was on the same show as us.

446
00:34:05,527 --> 00:34:08,537
They interviewed him first.

447
00:34:08,652 --> 00:34:11,828
- When is that going? On Saturday?
- Yes, at three.

448
00:34:11,944 --> 00:34:16,246
No, at five. It is transmitted
for New Zealand and America.

449
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,778
Abu Dhabi. In countries
really strange.

450
00:34:18,902 --> 00:34:22,327
You are rebelling and
Do you have a negative attitude?

451
00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:25,821
We are positive,
because we produce things.

452
00:34:25,943 --> 00:34:30,742
We produce music, others
graphic arts, other clothing.

453
00:34:30,942 --> 00:34:32,862
What do you think of the suit?

454
00:34:32,984 --> 00:34:36,244
It's great.
It's a new look.

455
00:34:36,359 --> 00:34:40,282
I look like a Cossack.
I look like a muscular man.

456
00:34:40,484 --> 00:34:43,246
That's the jacket.

457
00:34:44,526 --> 00:34:49,527
I read that he has six
hours to prepare.

458
00:34:49,651 --> 00:34:53,787
If you follow the instructions,
you can do it in four.

459
00:34:53,984 --> 00:34:56,911
You are being
criticized for

460
00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:59,159
put on these clothes

461
00:34:59,276 --> 00:35:01,492
that are like a road
escape from reality.

462
00:35:01,608 --> 00:35:05,780
When you go to the cinema, also
you escape from reality.

463
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:08,151
I would like people to realize
realize what is happening,

464
00:35:08,274 --> 00:35:11,653
because the country is going through
through difficult times and everyone knows it.

465
00:35:12,899 --> 00:35:15,282
Luckily, we were successful.

466
00:35:15,483 --> 00:35:18,032
Because in the spring of 1981

467
00:35:18,241 --> 00:35:20,533
after a year
of Thatcher's government,

468
00:35:20,733 --> 00:35:22,985
unemployment was at its level
highest in 44 years.

469
00:35:23,317 --> 00:35:26,782
There is exactly a row of
people increasing in London.

470
00:35:26,983 --> 00:35:30,076
Those who want to be successful
because the alternatives are bad.

471
00:35:30,274 --> 00:35:35,239
If I could press a button and
solve the problem of unemployment,

472
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,534
"They don't think he would press
that button immediately?

473
00:35:43,774 --> 00:35:46,192
If one wants to be a politician,
does not found any band,

474
00:35:46,399 --> 00:35:48,568
join the labor party.

475
00:35:59,565 --> 00:36:01,236
With "Musclebound" it began
the video war.

476
00:36:01,690 --> 00:36:04,274
We record the video
in the Lake District.

477
00:36:04,482 --> 00:36:06,401
It was all snowy.

478
00:36:06,523 --> 00:36:11,606
It was just the five of us, four dwarfs
and some cans of 35mm film.

479
00:36:11,814 --> 00:36:15,156
Musclebound became
peak involuntarily.

480
00:36:24,439 --> 00:36:28,232
It was the beginning of the video era.
We were the television generation.

481
00:36:28,939 --> 00:36:31,440
I was possessed by
this new medium.

482
00:36:31,647 --> 00:36:34,278
Pop music was no longer
just make an album,

483
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,947
you had to communicate a philosophy.
Whatever that was.

484
00:36:39,063 --> 00:36:41,646
Gary and Martin Kemp.

485
00:36:41,771 --> 00:36:44,106
- Now they will come to look for you.
- Thank you so much.

486
00:36:48,438 --> 00:36:50,986
A tasteful ending.
Typical of Spandau Ballet.

487
00:36:51,105 --> 00:36:52,656
The LP is called
"Journeys to Glory."

488
00:36:52,854 --> 00:36:55,948
- Are you satisfied with the album?
- Yes.

489
00:36:56,146 --> 00:36:59,026
It is new on the market.
This is the first time I've heard it.

490
00:36:59,229 --> 00:37:01,564
What instrument is it?
Mandolin?

491
00:37:01,688 --> 00:37:03,655
Yes?
Let's listen to it.

492
00:37:06,605 --> 00:37:09,105
What is happening with
him at this moment?

493
00:37:09,979 --> 00:37:11,567
Gary,
a brief summary.

494
00:37:11,687 --> 00:37:15,111
We have been on tour
promotion in Germany.

495
00:37:15,228 --> 00:37:17,278
Then we will go to Paris.

496
00:37:20,978 --> 00:37:24,238
At that time, you couldn't buy one
ticket for the Spandau concerts.

497
00:37:24,437 --> 00:37:28,027
There were only invitations
for special performances.

498
00:37:28,145 --> 00:37:30,942
The difference:
Now we were international.

499
00:37:38,103 --> 00:37:41,196
In the first days, I didn't know
I was just trying to give a concert.

500
00:37:42,602 --> 00:37:44,570
It was the glamour.

501
00:37:44,769 --> 00:37:47,732
Paris, Rome,
Milan, Ibiza

502
00:37:47,936 --> 00:37:50,152
and of course New York.

503
00:37:58,143 --> 00:38:01,604
We fly to New York with
a group of the Blitz-kids.

504
00:38:01,810 --> 00:38:04,737
In the street, everyone
They looked at us again.

505
00:38:04,935 --> 00:38:07,318
Come here, Martin.
It's like daycare.

506
00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:11,110
I'm sitting here
and the camera is there.

507
00:38:11,227 --> 00:38:13,360
Sit there, Martin.

508
00:38:14,810 --> 00:38:17,144
- The camera is here, Martin.
- It's okay.

509
00:38:17,351 --> 00:38:22,352
The journalist seemed typical
disco girl from the seventies.

510
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:25,819
we were like aliens,
that they had landed on their planet

511
00:38:27,393 --> 00:38:30,569
It is without a doubt the most
exciting of these moments.

512
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:33,693
Spandau Ballet.

513
00:38:34,185 --> 00:38:39,316
UNDERGROUND CLUB, NEW YORK
MAY 1981

514
00:38:56,684 --> 00:39:00,641
You are the first band
in which fashion,

515
00:39:00,766 --> 00:39:05,483
music, graphic art
They appear in their videos.

516
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,986
How did that happen?

517
00:39:07,183 --> 00:39:11,402
London clubs are attracting
a lot of creative people right now.

518
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,818
We didn't just want to go to New York
like all the other bands.

519
00:39:16,516 --> 00:39:19,811
We wanted to bring these people
London creatives here,

520
00:39:19,933 --> 00:39:22,433
to show in New York,
what the London scene is.

521
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,402
We brought a fashion show.
Who has done this before?

522
00:39:40,641 --> 00:39:43,022
Tony, stop that.

523
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:46,109
I thought there was one
fog machine.

524
00:39:46,307 --> 00:39:50,098
Turn it off.
I won't repeat it again.

525
00:39:50,222 --> 00:39:52,142
Tony Hadley
voice and pyrotechnics.

526
00:40:06,972 --> 00:40:10,516
Can we talk about your clothes?
Who designed the set?

527
00:40:10,722 --> 00:40:12,726
Is this a Bedouin costume?

528
00:40:12,847 --> 00:40:14,981
No, not really.

529
00:40:16,306 --> 00:40:19,730
It is the base, but a
friend transformed it.

530
00:40:19,847 --> 00:40:22,525
That's all.

531
00:40:25,804 --> 00:40:27,523
Look at the camera, Martin.

532
00:40:27,721 --> 00:40:29,973
Present your front view.

533
00:40:41,638 --> 00:40:44,649
New York welcomed us
as messengers of the future.

534
00:40:48,304 --> 00:40:51,563
Meanwhile in London
It became more difficult to stand out.

535
00:40:52,303 --> 00:40:54,437
In 1981, the electronic
It was everywhere.

536
00:40:54,637 --> 00:40:56,059
Everyone touched it.

537
00:40:56,262 --> 00:40:58,479
How could we differentiate ourselves?

538
00:41:02,679 --> 00:41:04,812
I met "Beggar and Co."
on "Top of the Pops."

539
00:41:04,929 --> 00:41:09,598
I liked their trumpets and
I wanted to have them in our album.

540
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:15,356
"Beatreet" was the new
scene club in Soho.

541
00:41:15,970 --> 00:41:18,139
Steve Lewis began
to play funk and soul.

542
00:41:18,345 --> 00:41:20,728
New clubs open
every day.

543
00:41:20,845 --> 00:41:24,020
London has enough capacity
for two clubs per night.

544
00:41:24,136 --> 00:41:25,641
This is how it is now.

545
00:41:26,428 --> 00:41:28,560
He inspired me, to
return to our roots

546
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,977
of soul in our
next album.

547
00:41:31,177 --> 00:41:36,392
That's why we decided to film the
video for "Chant No. 1" on Beatreet.

548
00:41:46,011 --> 00:41:49,187
They were all little Neros,
that continue, while Rome burns.

549
00:41:49,385 --> 00:41:51,104
Nobody knew when
The next check would arrive.

550
00:41:55,968 --> 00:42:00,021
"Chant No. 1" became the song
perfect for the summer of 1981.

551
00:42:00,218 --> 00:42:02,470
The summer of riots,
from the heat wave

552
00:42:03,801 --> 00:42:05,354
and the Royal wedding.

553
00:42:08,385 --> 00:42:10,718
In South London,
in the Brixton district,

554
00:42:10,842 --> 00:42:13,177
with its high unemployment, it has
declared a state of emergency.

555
00:42:16,301 --> 00:42:19,892
There is tension in the streets
because of politics.

556
00:42:20,093 --> 00:42:24,561
Tension and friction generate sparks
and the sparks illuminate the ideas.

557
00:42:29,134 --> 00:42:34,301
At that time, we were looking
our future outside of Soho.

558
00:42:34,508 --> 00:42:38,680
We were young people who liked to sing.
and commercial albums.

559
00:42:43,258 --> 00:42:46,186
For the first time on Top of the Pops
We welcome to "Culture Club".

560
00:42:46,384 --> 00:42:51,018
Five weeks at number one:
"Soft Cell" and "Tainted Love."

561
00:42:56,883 --> 00:42:59,430
There didn't seem to be enough
space for everyone.

562
00:42:59,549 --> 00:43:02,050
Boy George and Princess Diana

563
00:43:02,257 --> 00:43:04,972
competed for the crown as
the most popular pin-up in the country.

564
00:43:06,757 --> 00:43:09,140
Human League
Duran Duran.

565
00:43:10,424 --> 00:43:13,802
And our biggest competitors:
Duran Duran.

566
00:43:14,008 --> 00:43:15,927
They had hits,
we don't.

567
00:43:18,632 --> 00:43:22,721
We discuss with Steve Dagger
What direction the band should take.

568
00:43:22,924 --> 00:43:27,973
It was easy for me, because I didn't want to be
a cult hero, but a pop star.

569
00:43:28,174 --> 00:43:30,057
When the war broke out
of the Malvinas, I thought:

570
00:43:30,173 --> 00:43:33,302
"Let's hope this doesn't affect the
release of our single"

571
00:43:33,506 --> 00:43:36,350
We were on Top of the Pops,
We travel through Europe,

572
00:43:36,547 --> 00:43:39,807
but we didn't have
a lot of money

573
00:43:40,006 --> 00:43:42,471
We still lived
with our parents.

574
00:43:42,673 --> 00:43:46,382
So the children of the working class
They didn't move before marriage.

575
00:43:49,256 --> 00:43:53,558
Gary Kemp writes again
song for the Spandau Ballet LP.

576
00:44:00,089 --> 00:44:02,221
I don't remember which one
It was the first song,

577
00:44:02,338 --> 00:44:04,672
that I wrote for the album True.

578
00:44:04,796 --> 00:44:08,506
But I still remember writing
the line "bought a ticket to the world."

579
00:44:08,630 --> 00:44:11,759
I wanted that
came true.

580
00:44:20,796 --> 00:44:24,221
The dreams of record contracts.
and hit singles became a reality.

581
00:44:24,421 --> 00:44:27,218
But a dream that has been made
reality is simply reality.

582
00:44:27,421 --> 00:44:29,720
and you have to search
a new dream.

583
00:44:56,546 --> 00:44:59,971
We felt that it was
time to leave home

584
00:45:00,087 --> 00:45:02,848
and go to the next level.

585
00:45:03,045 --> 00:45:06,920
We chose the Bahamas.
Why not?

586
00:45:10,003 --> 00:45:12,136
WELCOME TO
HEATHROW AIRPORT

587
00:45:15,419 --> 00:45:20,303
NASSAU, BAHAMAS
OCTOBER 1982

588
00:45:21,835 --> 00:45:26,256
Compass Point Studios was synonymous
of soul performed by whites.

589
00:45:26,377 --> 00:45:28,676
Robert Palmer
had recorded there.

590
00:45:28,794 --> 00:45:30,879
Daryl Hall and
John Oates too.

591
00:45:31,086 --> 00:45:34,215
There was a dance atmosphere,

592
00:45:34,919 --> 00:45:37,715
very sexy and exotic.

593
00:45:37,918 --> 00:45:41,925
We wanted to record this atmosphere.

594
00:45:42,044 --> 00:45:45,089
Mr. Tony Hadley.
Just a quick question.

595
00:45:45,209 --> 00:45:48,090
What is your opinion
about the last audio?

596
00:45:48,209 --> 00:45:51,339
- It was too much for me.
- Yes, I see him sweating.

597
00:45:51,460 --> 00:45:54,589
- The sweat is falling off me, look!
- Look at his nose!

598
00:45:56,418 --> 00:45:58,552
Gary!

599
00:45:58,668 --> 00:46:01,844
Swain and Jolley were the tandem of
English composers and producers.

600
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,012
Tony Swain had a
Soulboy's past.

601
00:46:06,126 --> 00:46:10,842
Our songs fit
perfectly with his skills.

602
00:46:26,916 --> 00:46:28,671
Hurry up, Ton.
It's late

603
00:46:29,708 --> 00:46:34,046
The songs, the atmosphere,
friendship and cannabis

604
00:46:34,667 --> 00:46:36,587
they helped us in
our stay on the island.

605
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,003
It's been a long time since
He played a saxophone.

606
00:46:42,124 --> 00:46:45,087
But for the new songs,
that Gary had written

607
00:46:45,208 --> 00:46:47,424
it seemed very
appropriate to touch it.

608
00:46:57,291 --> 00:46:59,756
After the second
or third reproduction

609
00:46:59,874 --> 00:47:01,842
from the song "True",
everyone hummed it.

610
00:47:01,958 --> 00:47:04,459
That's when
I knew it was the song that

611
00:47:04,583 --> 00:47:06,668
It was going to change our lives.

612
00:47:09,540 --> 00:47:11,709
I didn't think it was a
song for a single.

613
00:47:11,832 --> 00:47:14,083
I just thought that
It was a nice song.

614
00:47:25,165 --> 00:47:29,999
Thatcher is
turn at number 10.

615
00:47:30,122 --> 00:47:37,008
It's a bigger victory
than I expected.

616
00:47:39,539 --> 00:47:42,633
Now we are flying to Milan.

617
00:47:42,831 --> 00:47:44,171
Let's go to Manchester.

618
00:47:45,872 --> 00:47:49,333
THE "TRUE" TOUR 1983

619
00:47:50,871 --> 00:47:55,541
True's time and the years in
we did the album tour

620
00:47:55,663 --> 00:47:57,548
was probably
our happiest time.

621
00:47:57,747 --> 00:48:00,461
What are you going to film here?

622
00:48:00,663 --> 00:48:05,665
Now we are
on the way to Sweden.

623
00:48:05,789 --> 00:48:09,000
-Gary Kemp, Tony Hadley.
- Hello.

624
00:48:09,122 --> 00:48:12,048
Welcome to Norway.
They consider themselves a pop band.

625
00:48:12,246 --> 00:48:14,712
we are talking
of Popular Art.

626
00:48:14,913 --> 00:48:17,460
Success in itself
It is an art form.

627
00:48:38,370 --> 00:48:43,715
Mr. Tony Hadley in
full health and beauty, 1983.

628
00:48:46,996 --> 00:48:49,128
Leonie and I were wearing
a lot of time together.

629
00:48:49,328 --> 00:48:51,794
The band was made
increasingly famous.

630
00:48:51,911 --> 00:48:56,083
I couldn't stand the separation.
So we got married.

631
00:48:56,286 --> 00:49:00,043
I said, "Guys, good news:
"I'm getting married!"

632
00:49:00,244 --> 00:49:02,129
And it was like "ding":

633
00:49:02,328 --> 00:49:06,464
You enter a Western room
and the piano stops playing.

634
00:49:21,493 --> 00:49:24,208
We thought that the news
not from my marriage

635
00:49:24,410 --> 00:49:26,495
It would be good for the band.

636
00:49:26,702 --> 00:49:29,250
We had a big fight.

637
00:49:29,368 --> 00:49:33,540
"You are invited to the wedding.
If you don't come, I don't care."

638
00:49:39,201 --> 00:49:41,916
They came to the wedding and
They had a lot of fun.

639
00:49:52,242 --> 00:49:54,874
What is the most important thing
in a pop song?

640
00:49:55,076 --> 00:49:59,661
The melody has become very
important again. And love.

641
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:02,789
What are your plans?

642
00:50:02,908 --> 00:50:05,492
Now is the time
by Spandau Ballet.

643
00:50:05,617 --> 00:50:09,623
In the beginning, we paved the way
for many other bands.

644
00:50:09,742 --> 00:50:12,669
With our album "True" this year,
the time has come to ignore

645
00:50:12,992 --> 00:50:16,292
to everyone else and
take what we deserve.

646
00:50:21,242 --> 00:50:25,792
Last week it was shot
on the charts at number ten.

647
00:50:25,907 --> 00:50:30,660
The song is one of our favorites.
And that's not a lie, it's "truth."

648
00:50:41,949 --> 00:50:44,911
With number one in the program
number one thousand of "Top of the Pops":

649
00:50:45,032 --> 00:50:47,201
Spandau Ballet and "True."

650
00:50:57,073 --> 00:51:00,865
Number one for four weeks.
Number one in 21 countries in the world.

651
00:51:01,073 --> 00:51:04,083
- Nice to see you again, Tony.
- Everything is going very well now.

652
00:51:04,698 --> 00:51:06,618
That was all
that I had expected.

653
00:51:23,573 --> 00:51:26,832
They are great, excellent.
No more needs to be said.

654
00:51:27,031 --> 00:51:29,344
They look so good with the
ties and jackets.

655
00:51:29,572 --> 00:51:31,160
They have created a new style.

656
00:51:31,989 --> 00:51:36,410
This reminds me, when our
parents went out and invited a girl.

657
00:51:36,614 --> 00:51:39,115
And they put
to Marvin Gaye,

658
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,324
when parents
They had gone to the factory.

659
00:51:41,447 --> 00:51:43,698
That was like:
"have a piece of us."

660
00:51:43,821 --> 00:51:46,867
There is no more conventional
than number one.

661
00:51:47,072 --> 00:51:48,873
You feel perfect.

662
00:51:48,988 --> 00:51:51,074
album and single had
landed in first place,

663
00:51:51,197 --> 00:51:53,780
the tour was sold out
and the girls were screaming everywhere.

664
00:51:53,988 --> 00:51:56,667
For a 23 year old boy.
There can't be anything better.

665
00:53:07,652 --> 00:53:10,662
When "True" landed at No. 1,
that changed our life.

666
00:53:10,860 --> 00:53:15,032
We went from driving a Cortina,
to a Mercedes or a Jaguar.

667
00:53:15,235 --> 00:53:18,115
In 1983 we were the favorites.

668
00:53:19,193 --> 00:53:22,572
Most of the time we play
in presentations for children.

669
00:53:22,694 --> 00:53:26,996
 �You have noticed that Steve and Martin
Have you finally gotten out of bed?

670
00:53:27,110 --> 00:53:29,824
We were bewildered in the
Saturday morning programs,

671
00:53:30,026 --> 00:53:32,278
which were, in their
majority, traumatic.

672
00:53:32,485 --> 00:53:35,329
- Can I speak to Martin, please?
- Clear.

673
00:53:35,442 --> 00:53:38,073
What things do you like?

674
00:53:38,275 --> 00:53:41,570
-My favorite cars?
- No, things.

675
00:53:42,276 --> 00:53:46,329
- What is more valuable than silver?
- "Gold".

676
00:53:46,442 --> 00:53:50,697
And "Gold" is the new hit
by Spandau Ballet.

677
00:53:56,442 --> 00:53:58,410
This is the fourth
single from the album.

678
00:53:58,525 --> 00:54:00,326
And this is even more
successful than the others.

679
00:54:00,442 --> 00:54:03,654
Yes, we already have 140,000 copies.

680
00:54:03,776 --> 00:54:05,861
What does that mean?
comparing it to True?

681
00:54:06,067 --> 00:54:07,951
It's 60,000 more.

682
00:54:08,150 --> 00:54:12,025
You listen to Skyrook.
If you want to know Spandau Ballet,

683
00:54:12,149 --> 00:54:15,858
come to Tower Records on Sunset and
It will be an incredible experience.

684
00:54:22,566 --> 00:54:26,868
The cries around madness
from Spandau surprised us.

685
00:54:26,983 --> 00:54:29,566
The fear was
in our faces.

686
00:54:29,775 --> 00:54:31,908
Part of me
I felt guilty,

687
00:54:32,108 --> 00:54:34,655
of being yelled at like
to a pop band.

688
00:54:34,857 --> 00:54:37,323
A part of me wanted
They will take us more seriously.

689
00:54:37,441 --> 00:54:39,739
As seriously as I
took myself.

690
00:54:44,107 --> 00:54:47,449
His world tour is huge.
They played in the United States.

691
00:54:47,565 --> 00:54:50,943
At concerts in L.A., San Francisco
and New York sold out.

692
00:54:51,065 --> 00:54:53,115
Are you thinking of going to Japan?

693
00:54:53,315 --> 00:54:57,321
For now we have not
sold so many records there.

694
00:54:57,439 --> 00:55:00,154
I wouldn't say that.

695
00:55:01,315 --> 00:55:03,732
- Let's start again.
- Yes, it's okay.

696
00:55:07,648 --> 00:55:10,325
You can't say that
in a program.

697
00:55:10,439 --> 00:55:12,773
If the program broadcasts that

698
00:55:12,939 --> 00:55:15,238
it seems not
we are very good.

699
00:55:17,105 --> 00:55:20,032
This is MTV Music Television.

700
00:55:20,147 --> 00:55:24,484
MTV was a revolution
a pop channel around the world.

701
00:55:24,647 --> 00:55:27,148
Hi Tony and Gary.
Thanks for coming.

702
00:55:27,355 --> 00:55:29,572
From Neasden to New
York, teenagers

703
00:55:29,772 --> 00:55:32,783
they saw the same bands
at the same time.

704
00:55:32,981 --> 00:55:37,899
You said you were not going to come to the
USA until they had a success here.

705
00:55:38,022 --> 00:55:39,740
The formula worked.

706
00:55:39,938 --> 00:55:43,944
With the help of MTV,
We were able to show our video.

707
00:55:44,146 --> 00:55:46,860
we had to wait
before coming here.

708
00:55:47,063 --> 00:55:50,571
- Your next single is "Communication".
- Yes, after "Gold".

709
00:55:50,688 --> 00:55:54,196
- Is there a video of that song?
- Yes, we have already filmed it.

710
00:55:58,479 --> 00:56:02,900
That was our longest video shoot.
interesting because I wasn't in it.

711
00:56:05,146 --> 00:56:09,022
I didn't want the band to show up.
Only Tony in the video.

712
00:56:09,146 --> 00:56:10,651
You know, I'm expensive.

713
00:56:10,854 --> 00:56:13,816
I prefer to be on the other side of the
camera, but he likes to interpret.

714
00:56:14,020 --> 00:56:16,354
I want a payment
initial 25 percent.

715
00:56:16,562 --> 00:56:20,105
- I'll try it in a few years.
- You have the job.

716
00:56:20,311 --> 00:56:23,440
Gary, you are thoughtful.
the engine of Spandau Ballet.

717
00:56:23,561 --> 00:56:25,066
You write a lot
of the letters.

718
00:56:25,269 --> 00:56:27,901
What do they contribute?
others to the group?

719
00:56:28,103 --> 00:56:30,521
Quite a few things.

720
00:56:30,645 --> 00:56:32,897
I write the lyrics.

721
00:56:33,103 --> 00:56:36,030
John, where are the others?
two band members?

722
00:56:36,145 --> 00:56:37,650
Working somewhere.

723
00:56:37,770 --> 00:56:40,696
I think Gary still
He has a lot to write.

724
00:56:40,811 --> 00:56:43,987
That's why you sit at home with a
pen in one hand and his guitar in the other.

725
00:56:44,186 --> 00:56:46,439
We are currently
working on a new album.

726
00:56:46,649 --> 00:56:48,524
It will be ready for spring.

727
00:56:48,643 --> 00:56:51,026
It will go on the market in everything
the world at the same time.

728
00:56:51,144 --> 00:56:53,443
And then we go
on world tour.

729
00:56:54,060 --> 00:56:57,688
THE "PARADE" TOUR
1984-1985

730
00:57:02,435 --> 00:57:05,018
On the "True" tour
we did many concerts.

731
00:57:05,143 --> 00:57:08,154
Now we had become one
rock band that worked perfectly.

732
00:57:15,435 --> 00:57:17,817
You recently said that the only
pop music groups there were

733
00:57:18,018 --> 00:57:21,194
Wham, Culture Club,
Duran Duran and you.

734
00:57:21,393 --> 00:57:22,944
Did you really say that?

735
00:57:23,142 --> 00:57:26,686
That will be true next week.
We will be back on the lists.

736
00:57:26,892 --> 00:57:29,476
I want to introduce you to
some very good friends.

737
00:57:29,601 --> 00:57:31,236
They are Spandau Ballet.

738
00:57:39,101 --> 00:57:40,690
It must be Sunday.

739
00:57:44,183 --> 00:57:46,685
I like touring
because it is very easy.

740
00:57:46,809 --> 00:57:50,150
I don't have to worry
for nothing all day,

741
00:57:50,349 --> 00:57:52,353
except for two hours
on stage.

742
00:57:52,558 --> 00:57:57,477
Before you go to sleep, tell me
when he wants me to come get him.

743
00:57:57,683 --> 00:57:59,603
Rock 'n' Roll.

744
00:58:09,391 --> 00:58:12,236
THE BALLET IN THE PARADE
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BRITISH BAND

745
00:58:12,349 --> 00:58:14,353
Until Christmas, we d�ba
a concert every day.

746
00:58:14,558 --> 00:58:16,561
Today is the fifth day
of six at Wembley.

747
00:58:19,183 --> 00:58:21,600
I was in my moment
of rock star

748
00:58:21,724 --> 00:58:24,818
I lived on champagne,
cocaine and adrenaline.

749
00:58:25,016 --> 00:58:29,103
I'm not going to lie.
I loved it.

750
00:58:31,056 --> 00:58:33,439
There are people following us,

751
00:58:33,557 --> 00:58:35,560
waiting for us, holding us
so we don't fall.

752
00:58:35,682 --> 00:58:37,436
And you even pay them
for them to do it.

753
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,065
- When do you sleep?
- I have slept two hours.

754
00:58:41,265 --> 00:58:44,027
But I'm fine and
I can't complain.

755
00:58:53,139 --> 00:58:56,101
I only visit my mother
when the refrigerator is empty,

756
00:58:56,305 --> 00:59:00,098
when there are two bottles of vodka
and cheese sandwiches.

757
00:59:09,305 --> 00:59:11,853
Tony Hadley, Steve Norman,

758
00:59:12,055 --> 00:59:14,473
John Keeble, Gary Kemp,

759
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,435
Martin Kemp.

760
00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:19,332
There is no gold for me.

761
00:59:19,889 --> 00:59:22,604
In the middle of all
the madness of the tour

762
00:59:22,806 --> 00:59:25,483
we received a call
by Bob Geldof on a

763
00:59:26,555 --> 00:59:29,138
charity album
for Africa.

764
00:59:29,763 --> 00:59:34,356
The famine in Ethiopia
combat selling a pop album.

765
00:59:34,554 --> 00:59:38,975
More than 25 today's stars participated
on an unpaid recording in London.

766
00:59:39,179 --> 00:59:41,514
All profits will be used
to fight hunger.

767
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:44,350
Paul Weiler arrived
to the studio on foot.

768
00:59:44,555 --> 00:59:47,138
The Bananaramas
They came in their own car.

769
00:59:48,013 --> 00:59:50,596
and we arrive
in a Bentley.

770
00:59:50,721 --> 00:59:52,475
we were struggling
of rock stars.

771
00:59:52,679 --> 00:59:55,890
How come you are here?

772
00:59:56,012 --> 00:59:59,520
- He's in the band
- Yes, that's why they invited us.

773
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,565
We were in Japan,
We fly over New York.

774
01:00:07,678 --> 01:00:10,357
and we ended up in Germany.

775
01:00:10,470 --> 01:00:14,641
We didn't sleep for two days and
we gave the concert.

776
01:00:15,803 --> 01:00:18,137
We didn't even know
What we should do there.

777
01:00:18,261 --> 01:00:21,391
The night before, we took
a few drinks with Duran Duran

778
01:00:21,511 --> 01:00:24,273
and I could barely walk
in a straight line.

779
01:00:24,387 --> 01:00:27,065
This is not the only one
Christmas album.

780
01:00:27,178 --> 01:00:30,389
Each band takes out its
album for Christmas.

781
01:00:30,511 --> 01:00:33,639
But I think it would be fair
that this one reached number 1

782
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,845
and everyone else in
two, three and four.

783
01:00:36,635 --> 01:00:38,970
-Phil Collins is here.
- Great

784
01:00:39,677 --> 01:00:42,806
It's weird being in the studio with
your competitors on the lists.

785
01:00:43,010 --> 01:00:44,302
Everyone had one
kind of shame.

786
01:00:44,510 --> 01:00:47,971
Nobody wanted
sing first.

787
01:00:48,844 --> 01:00:51,807
Suddenly someone said:
"Come on, Ton, you'll be the first."

788
01:00:51,927 --> 01:00:55,056
What? there should be
slept the night before.

789
01:01:05,801 --> 01:01:08,053
That's what happened.
I was the first.

790
01:01:08,259 --> 01:01:10,097
It was stressful,
but it worked.

791
01:01:11,343 --> 01:01:12,848
Yes, that's better

792
01:01:16,675 --> 01:01:21,890
We feel that we were more
powerful than the government.

793
01:01:22,092 --> 01:01:24,391
We had problems with
album taxes.

794
01:01:24,509 --> 01:01:28,515
I know, but don't forget
what part of your taxes

795
01:01:28,634 --> 01:01:31,266
is returned and invested.

796
01:01:31,384 --> 01:01:35,555
We always give something. But the taxes
They have to come from somewhere.

797
01:01:35,759 --> 01:01:37,559
Who teaches who?

798
01:01:40,716 --> 01:01:43,679
In pop music always
There has been a lot of competition.

799
01:01:43,799 --> 01:01:46,810
Were you a Spandau Ballet fan?
or Duran Duran.

800
01:01:47,591 --> 01:01:50,934
We are surrounded all day, in
the TV studios in Shepherd's Bush,

801
01:01:51,050 --> 01:01:54,012
because we have two big ones
bands that compete with each other.

802
01:01:54,133 --> 01:01:55,685
Spandau and Duran Duran.

803
01:01:56,675 --> 01:01:59,886
John and Martin will play
together in the text round.

804
01:02:00,008 --> 01:02:01,726
This is for you.

805
01:02:02,799 --> 01:02:05,015
"lurking in the forest,
too close to hide.

806
01:02:05,132 --> 01:02:07,715
will catch you
because the moon shines."

807
01:02:09,132 --> 01:02:10,684
Do you know who it is from?

808
01:02:10,882 --> 01:02:13,134
Then I'll tell you,
is this.

809
01:02:21,048 --> 01:02:25,599
Now Andy and Roger.
For you a text from Spandau.

810
01:02:25,715 --> 01:02:29,093
"...She used to be a diplomat,
but now it's in the laundry room. "

811
01:02:30,340 --> 01:02:32,758
- Highly Strung.
- Highly Strung, correct.

812
01:02:34,715 --> 01:02:37,677
Spandau Ballet: 40.
Duran Duran: 52.

813
01:02:38,798 --> 01:02:42,554
A quiz show is
entertainment television.

814
01:02:42,672 --> 01:02:46,263
But we were really
disappointed to have lost.

815
01:02:48,089 --> 01:02:52,723
How has it been for you?
do this big tour?

816
01:02:52,839 --> 01:02:54,724
- It has been a huge tour.
- Yes, huge.

817
01:02:54,839 --> 01:02:57,340
so many people
They wanted to see them.

818
01:02:57,548 --> 01:02:59,053
What are they going to do now?

819
01:02:59,173 --> 01:03:02,348
Our European tour begins
Sunday in Nuremberg.

820
01:03:02,463 --> 01:03:06,801
We are very happy and we will visit
almost all European countries.

821
01:03:06,922 --> 01:03:09,848
Then we'll go to Australia for six weeks.
We have never been there.

822
01:03:10,046 --> 01:03:11,847
We are looking forward to being there.
It sure is hot.

823
01:03:13,796 --> 01:03:16,926
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
MARCH 1985

824
01:03:18,796 --> 01:03:20,847
We love Spandau!

825
01:03:29,754 --> 01:03:34,969
We took a boat trip
the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

826
01:03:38,213 --> 01:03:43,889
We were excited.
I'm a rock star!

827
01:03:44,087 --> 01:03:46,136
Every day
they could be like that.

828
01:04:09,586 --> 01:04:13,971
- They are going to give a concert in California.
- Tickets were sold out in an hour.

829
01:04:14,169 --> 01:04:16,468
We are looking forward to seeing
his concert in L.A.

830
01:04:16,586 --> 01:04:19,169
Spandau Ballet, a dream has come true
come true for you.

831
01:04:45,835 --> 01:04:49,508
We are fans of Spandau-Ballet!

832
01:05:08,168 --> 01:05:10,798
So they are going to act
in Los Angeles?

833
01:05:10,917 --> 01:05:15,467
Yesterday we were in Orange County
and today and tomorrow we are at Universal.

834
01:05:15,583 --> 01:05:19,589
You are brothers,
They look very similar.

835
01:05:19,708 --> 01:05:21,509
Are you also related?

836
01:05:21,625 --> 01:05:25,050
- No.
- I don't want to be related to him.

837
01:05:25,167 --> 01:05:27,633
It is for the many years
that we carry together.

838
01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:29,670
The boys are
fun, right?

839
01:05:30,624 --> 01:05:32,592
I want to see all
hands up!

840
01:05:46,208 --> 01:05:48,376
He ran a lot on stage.

841
01:05:48,499 --> 01:05:51,592
one of my interludes
was playing a sax solo,

842
01:05:51,707 --> 01:05:54,966
run across the stage
and then kneel.

843
01:05:55,165 --> 01:05:57,748
At the second concert
in Los Angeles.

844
01:05:57,957 --> 01:06:00,754
I heard a crunch
when I got on my knees.

845
01:06:01,582 --> 01:06:08,217
This is the video of the joint
of Steve's right knee.

846
01:06:08,541 --> 01:06:11,302
You can see
part of the injury.

847
01:06:11,416 --> 01:06:15,291
The cause is a flexion
excessive knee.

848
01:06:15,498 --> 01:06:19,835
For its healing it is necessary
a resting position.

849
01:06:20,039 --> 01:06:22,587
Wish you all the best.

850
01:06:22,706 --> 01:06:24,341
Everything is going to be fine.

851
01:06:25,956 --> 01:06:29,713
Arthroscopy was still
Pretty new at the time.

852
01:06:29,831 --> 01:06:33,209
It was decided
cancel the tour.

853
01:06:34,164 --> 01:06:35,669
They all went home.

854
01:06:35,789 --> 01:06:38,918
And I was alone in Los Angeles,
waiting for my surgery.

855
01:06:39,997 --> 01:06:42,415
Everything is fine again.

856
01:06:42,622 --> 01:06:44,875
Which of you
Has your leg broken?

857
01:06:46,873 --> 01:06:49,006
hides from
us, right?

858
01:06:49,123 --> 01:06:52,879
It's okay. I'm not going out
tomorrow to the stage.

859
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,588
Because of him,
The band cannot perform.

860
01:06:56,704 --> 01:06:59,834
- I have a bad conscience.
- We receive unemployment benefits.

861
01:07:01,079 --> 01:07:05,417
You are worried
by 1.5 billion people.

862
01:07:05,538 --> 01:07:07,837
There is even more with China.

863
01:07:08,038 --> 01:07:10,716
There are 2 billion, 15 percent
of the world population.

864
01:07:14,413 --> 01:07:17,423
LIVE AID, LONDON
JULY 13, 1985

865
01:07:17,537 --> 01:07:19,671
There was no further appearance
than Live Aid.

866
01:07:19,788 --> 01:07:22,667
And there will never be more
great performances.

867
01:07:37,079 --> 01:07:40,337
We arrived in a helicopter.
I love helicopters.

868
01:07:40,453 --> 01:07:42,373
One feels like
a true pop star.

869
01:07:47,912 --> 01:07:49,547
See you later!

870
01:07:49,662 --> 01:07:51,297
hello!

871
01:08:05,452 --> 01:08:09,624
I like to remember the test
Status Quo sound.

872
01:08:10,202 --> 01:08:11,873
You won't be able to get him out of here.

873
01:08:11,994 --> 01:08:17,458
Film and greet Martin
in the typical Quo posture.

874
01:08:21,660 --> 01:08:23,746
This is great.

875
01:08:32,368 --> 01:08:35,876
We will see some
stars here today.

876
01:08:36,076 --> 01:08:40,332
The backstage atmosphere
It was fantastic.

877
01:08:40,452 --> 01:08:45,251
Nobody was a pop star
or wanting to stand out.

878
01:08:47,284 --> 01:08:49,702
Everyone knew that this
would go down in history.

879
01:08:49,909 --> 01:08:51,747
We wanted to change something.

880
01:08:56,785 --> 01:08:59,794
Martin, are you
playing the fool.

881
01:09:02,034 --> 01:09:06,785
Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome
to the Wembley stage to Spandau Ballet.

882
01:09:15,117 --> 01:09:18,293
Each band played 15
minutes on Live Aid.

883
01:09:19,784 --> 01:09:22,581
It was over so quickly.

884
01:09:36,532 --> 01:09:40,123
It's been 15 months since
who released their latest single.

885
01:09:40,241 --> 01:09:44,117
And now they are hidden here,
in the remote south of France.

886
01:09:44,324 --> 01:09:45,959
What have they done
meanwhile?

887
01:09:46,073 --> 01:09:48,326
We only made one album,
nothing more.

888
01:09:52,407 --> 01:09:55,501
MUSICLAND STUDIOS, MUNICH
February 1986

889
01:09:57,449 --> 01:10:00,625
From Re to that
shit chord

890
01:10:00,741 --> 01:10:03,834
- We have to do this part.
- You already had it.

891
01:10:04,907 --> 01:10:06,576
But it was pretty deep.

892
01:10:08,739 --> 01:10:11,121
Don't your fingers hurt?

893
01:10:20,656 --> 01:10:22,908
Gary and I share
flat for a while.

894
01:10:23,031 --> 01:10:27,416
One afternoon, he woke me up
and he played me this song.

895
01:10:28,822 --> 01:10:31,454
<i>Through the barricades.</i>

896
01:10:31,572 --> 01:10:34,155
It was the best
what we have done.

897
01:10:40,030 --> 01:10:41,701
Well done.

898
01:10:41,905 --> 01:10:44,287
- Very good
- Is the camera working?

899
01:10:44,405 --> 01:10:46,871
Did you record all that garbage?

900
01:10:46,989 --> 01:10:49,950
How am I going to say now
that I did it in one take?

901
01:11:04,238 --> 01:11:08,623
I met Thomas, called Kidso,
on our "True" tour.

902
01:11:08,821 --> 01:11:11,119
Thomas Rilley was 23.

903
01:11:11,237 --> 01:11:13,702
He was the road manager of
many London pop groups.

904
01:11:13,903 --> 01:11:17,080
He was shot to death in the back
in the Whiterook Belfast neighborhood.

905
01:11:17,279 --> 01:11:21,700
The Thain soldier declared
that his victim was armed.

906
01:11:21,820 --> 01:11:24,617
After a fight in the street,
I shot him in the back.

907
01:11:29,362 --> 01:11:31,411
When we were in Belfast
with the "Parade" tour,

908
01:11:31,611 --> 01:11:33,911
I walked with my brother
from Kidsos along Falls Road

909
01:11:34,112 --> 01:11:37,868
crossing the barricades until
the cemetery to visit his grave.

910
01:11:38,569 --> 01:11:40,868
That experience marked me.

911
01:11:44,069 --> 01:11:46,950
It's a love story
of two people who have

912
01:11:47,069 --> 01:11:52,746
different skin colors
or belong to different religions.

913
01:11:57,027 --> 01:11:59,990
It was not about
only from Belfast.

914
01:12:00,194 --> 01:12:04,864
In 1989 we went to Berlin and during
our stay the wall fell.

915
01:12:05,069 --> 01:12:08,198
That night we played
"Through the Barricades."

916
01:12:08,402 --> 01:12:12,159
That was incredible and had a
great significance for the city.

917
01:12:33,902 --> 01:12:35,738
NO BLOOD TODAY, PLEASE.

918
01:12:58,900 --> 01:13:03,321
At this time the band
I was in top shape.

919
01:13:03,525 --> 01:13:07,614
We were at the top, we went
happy and everything turned out great.

920
01:13:07,817 --> 01:13:09,577
We were very good friends.

921
01:13:09,775 --> 01:13:11,451
That's over.

922
01:13:33,191 --> 01:13:35,443
There is a good atmosphere
between us.

923
01:13:35,566 --> 01:13:39,702
This has been like a
vacation with a little work.

924
01:13:39,815 --> 01:13:42,032
Really come on
full with the disk.

925
01:13:42,149 --> 01:13:44,364
Brilliant.
It was fantastic.

926
01:13:44,481 --> 01:13:48,155
It was a happy moment,
but it ended very soon.

927
01:13:51,481 --> 01:13:57,443
THE BARRICADES TOUR
1986-1987

928
01:14:08,273 --> 01:14:11,781
We have been on tour in Europe
since November 1986.

929
01:14:11,981 --> 01:14:15,241
This is the most successful tour
what we have done so far.

930
01:14:23,688 --> 01:14:26,366
When you're on tour,
you create your own world.

931
01:14:26,480 --> 01:14:30,320
This is quite inbred and
It seems strange to outsiders.

932
01:14:30,522 --> 01:14:32,572
But it's the only way
to maintain direction.

933
01:14:32,772 --> 01:14:36,825
Where is my bag?
Everyone is crazy.

934
01:14:41,647 --> 01:14:43,400
That kills you.

935
01:14:43,521 --> 01:14:47,609
The time comes when
one longs to return home.

936
01:14:47,812 --> 01:14:52,945
I had dark circles and cold sores.
That had never happened to me.

937
01:15:04,812 --> 01:15:07,906
- Are you afraid?
- No, but I need a break.

938
01:15:09,437 --> 01:15:10,989
Hello, hello, hello!

939
01:15:11,187 --> 01:15:15,691
It was a tour
of albums after another.

940
01:15:15,896 --> 01:15:20,067
Friction arises with others when
You spend so much time with them.

941
01:15:20,728 --> 01:15:22,897
What do you think of the Soviet Union?

942
01:15:23,020 --> 01:15:25,069
Has your opinion changed?

943
01:15:25,186 --> 01:15:29,571
because the country is changing
your attitude towards the West?

944
01:15:29,769 --> 01:15:32,104
Come on, contribute something.

945
01:15:32,228 --> 01:15:35,653
- That's why I'm looking there.
- You're turning your back on me.

946
01:15:35,769 --> 01:15:39,029
- I feel excluded.
- Tony is joking again.

947
01:15:42,061 --> 01:15:45,356
On stage you become a drug addict.
One longs for the high.

948
01:15:46,102 --> 01:15:49,563
You are up,
when the show ends,

949
01:15:49,686 --> 01:15:51,652
but the hangover
It's unbearable.

950
01:15:51,851 --> 01:15:56,319
And how many more hangovers we had
than to suffer, the less I wanted to.

951
01:15:56,435 --> 01:15:58,319
Good morning, Gary.

952
01:15:59,435 --> 01:16:02,232
- Good morning.
-How are you?

953
01:16:02,352 --> 01:16:05,067
I'm a little sensitive.

954
01:16:05,185 --> 01:16:06,903
Fragile.

955
01:16:07,018 --> 01:16:11,237
It was the mixture of
Italian beer and vodka.

956
01:16:13,435 --> 01:16:16,694
Why is it so important?
get drunk with friends?

957
01:16:16,893 --> 01:16:18,979
No idea.
It was the drummer's idea.

958
01:16:20,602 --> 01:16:22,107
Hello, macho.

959
01:16:22,976 --> 01:16:25,228
Steve!
Steve!

960
01:16:26,059 --> 01:16:29,152
And how is it that there are so many
people waiting for you?

961
01:16:29,267 --> 01:16:34,019
I feel like a
animal in the zoo.

962
01:16:35,684 --> 01:16:39,441
- What happened last night?
- We went to the video café across the street.

963
01:16:39,642 --> 01:16:41,361
Stop!

964
01:16:45,684 --> 01:16:47,652
We get scared.
It was really stupid.

965
01:16:47,767 --> 01:16:50,314
We celebrate until
seven or eight in the morning.

966
01:16:50,433 --> 01:16:52,602
Tony, I wanted to talk
of creativity.

967
01:16:54,225 --> 01:16:56,855
Oh yes, we are still
making an album

968
01:16:58,641 --> 01:17:01,023
This is the end of the tour.

969
01:17:01,141 --> 01:17:06,439
Now you need another
time creativity.

970
01:17:12,057 --> 01:17:13,858
What madness.
Look, underpants.

971
01:17:17,891 --> 01:17:20,937
I have never been able to write
with another musician or lyricist.

972
01:17:22,474 --> 01:17:24,975
Because for me, a song
It is a coherent idea.

973
01:17:25,183 --> 01:17:31,770
It would have been better to have two
or three lyricists in the band.

974
01:17:31,973 --> 01:17:37,271
But I did everything to support
the scepter in my hand. Just out of fear.

975
01:17:37,473 --> 01:17:39,690
Fear that someone
I could do better.

976
01:17:39,806 --> 01:17:41,691
That's the problem of
the control freaks.

977
01:17:43,890 --> 01:17:48,891
You are very musical, because you play
instruments with ease.

978
01:17:49,015 --> 01:17:51,433
But why
don't you write letters?

979
01:17:51,557 --> 01:17:53,061
Why don't you write songs?

980
01:17:53,181 --> 01:17:55,599
Maybe I'll try it someday.

981
01:17:55,723 --> 01:17:58,898
"I don't even
do you try secretly?

982
01:17:59,013 --> 01:18:02,392
- Are you doing that, Steve?
- No.

983
01:18:06,097 --> 01:18:09,890
It was right after the end
from the Barricades tour.

984
01:18:10,014 --> 01:18:13,723
Gary spoke to me in a way,
like I never thought I would.

985
01:18:13,847 --> 01:18:15,766
In a very serious way.

986
01:18:15,888 --> 01:18:19,231
He told me it was time
to dissolve the band.

987
01:18:20,138 --> 01:18:22,272
That scared me terribly.

988
01:18:22,388 --> 01:18:26,265
Why?
Where should I go?

989
01:18:26,389 --> 01:18:29,731
What am I going to do if
I'm not in the band?

990
01:18:29,846 --> 01:18:33,473
I persuaded Gary to
that would continue another year.

991
01:18:36,179 --> 01:18:40,600
But unexpectedly Gary and I
We were approached by two producers.

992
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,683
They wanted us to play the main roles
in a film about the Kray twins.

993
01:18:43,887 --> 01:18:47,561
We always wanted to return
to work in the cinema.

994
01:18:47,762 --> 01:18:51,899
I took advantage of the opportunity because
I knew the band was falling apart.

995
01:18:52,013 --> 01:18:54,858
But, above all,

996
01:18:55,054 --> 01:18:58,562
because I knew it was the springboard.
for a new stage of my life.

997
01:18:58,679 --> 01:19:03,229
We don't have to
interpret at all.

998
01:19:03,344 --> 01:19:05,513
We just have to
be ourselves.

999
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:07,770
What are you going to do now?

1000
01:19:07,970 --> 01:19:12,142
I want to take care of the family
and I plan to get married soon.

1001
01:19:12,261 --> 01:19:16,350
- Ronald, what are you going to do now?
- I'll be traveling for a while.

1002
01:19:16,470 --> 01:19:18,554
I want to be alone.

1003
01:19:22,469 --> 01:19:25,812
We all met up with Gary and
Martin for the Kray project.

1004
01:19:26,011 --> 01:19:28,642
It didn't seem bad to me, but it wasn't
the right time.

1005
01:19:28,844 --> 01:19:31,428
We were just in
means of recordings.

1006
01:19:31,636 --> 01:19:33,058
Hi, I'm Tony.

1007
01:19:33,178 --> 01:19:34,647
I'm Gary.
We are Spandau Ballet.

1008
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:36,230
And...

1009
01:19:39,468 --> 01:19:43,225
- Hello, I'm To... Tony.
- Do it right.

1010
01:19:44,093 --> 01:19:46,511
Why don't I say:
"Hello, I'm Tony." And he says...

1011
01:19:46,635 --> 01:19:49,432
This is so boring.
We should do it differently.

1012
01:19:52,802 --> 01:19:56,595
It didn't turn out very well.
It just didn't fit.

1013
01:19:56,802 --> 01:19:59,101
We have taken our
time with this album.

1014
01:19:59,219 --> 01:20:02,975
We have worked in London
a reasonable time.

1015
01:20:03,176 --> 01:20:06,766
We finished early and
We enjoyed the nights off.

1016
01:20:06,883 --> 01:20:11,305
This is important for
have influences from the city.

1017
01:20:14,051 --> 01:20:16,303
The lives of the members
got in the way of the band.

1018
01:20:16,509 --> 01:20:20,349
Someone left before because
They were going to give him a sofa.

1019
01:20:20,551 --> 01:20:23,133
Before, nothing was
more important.

1020
01:20:23,342 --> 01:20:26,103
Everything else was left
in a second place.

1021
01:20:26,217 --> 01:20:28,035
That had changed.

1022
01:20:28,842 --> 01:20:32,979
Gary, you're working on a movie
about the lives of the Kray twins.

1023
01:20:33,175 --> 01:20:35,179
- When do you start?
- In October.

1024
01:20:35,301 --> 01:20:37,682
"Do not match"
Is that with the tour?

1025
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,469
The album won't be released until next year.
It's coming and we'll finish it in September.

1026
01:20:42,591 --> 01:20:46,467
Then I work in the
movie until the end of the year.

1027
01:20:46,591 --> 01:20:51,510
The album will be released next year.
After that I'm going on vacation.

1028
01:20:51,633 --> 01:20:53,552
Tony, do you have any plans?

1029
01:20:53,674 --> 01:20:55,724
No.

1030
01:20:55,841 --> 01:20:59,764
After this announcement!
No, I don't know what he will do.

1031
01:21:03,715 --> 01:21:07,306
When you are 16 years old,
You work to be successful.

1032
01:21:07,507 --> 01:21:10,517
When you are 19 years old, you sign a contract.
You only have one thing on your mind.

1033
01:21:10,715 --> 01:21:13,049
you have to want
a lot of what you do.

1034
01:21:13,257 --> 01:21:16,800
If not,
forget it and abandon it.

1035
01:21:16,923 --> 01:21:19,258
This album has cost
a long time, a year.

1036
01:21:19,465 --> 01:21:22,808
All 1988
and even 1989.

1037
01:21:22,924 --> 01:21:25,720
 �It was exhausting
finish the album?

1038
01:21:25,839 --> 01:21:29,430
No, actually it was the album
Easiest thing we've ever done.

1039
01:21:29,548 --> 01:21:32,594
All the songs were finished
before entering the studio.

1040
01:21:33,381 --> 01:21:35,266
Gary let's record demos.

1041
01:21:35,381 --> 01:21:37,929
Before, we always worked
together as a band.

1042
01:21:38,048 --> 01:21:41,970
He said, "This is the song."
We answered, "Oh, okay."

1043
01:21:42,172 --> 01:21:44,851
Work on the preparation
of the album was unpleasant.

1044
01:21:45,048 --> 01:21:47,630
What are you writing about?
at this moment?

1045
01:21:48,755 --> 01:21:50,805
The songs are mine.

1046
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,223
I want the lyrics to be
as natural as possible.

1047
01:21:55,339 --> 01:22:00,589
So it has to be about something
that comes from the heart.

1048
01:22:00,714 --> 01:22:04,009
That's why I called the album
"Heart Like A Sky".

1049
01:22:05,214 --> 01:22:07,015
That's one of the reasons.

1050
01:22:12,088 --> 01:22:15,133
I always hated the title of the album.
It's a silly title.

1051
01:22:15,337 --> 01:22:19,723
Our heart was not there,
so the name didn't fit.

1052
01:22:20,108 --> 01:22:24,588
John Keeble always said there are three
Reasons why bands split:

1053
01:22:24,796 --> 01:22:27,048
Money, drugs or women.

1054
01:22:27,255 --> 01:22:30,300
There is a fourth
reason: ego.

1055
01:22:37,671 --> 01:22:41,547
Why are they still together while
other bands break up?

1056
01:22:41,671 --> 01:22:43,011
Oh, God.

1057
01:22:43,129 --> 01:22:47,217
There is a wonderful spirit,
especially on tour.

1058
01:22:47,337 --> 01:22:49,422
The spirit of alcohol.

1059
01:22:49,629 --> 01:22:53,965
Some members of the band
They had planned projects.

1060
01:22:54,086 --> 01:22:56,219
I mean the acting.

1061
01:22:56,336 --> 01:22:59,051
Something like a flagellation.
"Take that, pig."

1062
01:22:59,170 --> 01:23:02,180
Maybe it's about
of envy?

1063
01:23:02,295 --> 01:23:07,296
How do other members of the group think?
the band about their work as actors?

1064
01:23:09,503 --> 01:23:14,303
What do they do while you act?
Can you continue musically?

1065
01:23:14,419 --> 01:23:16,801
- Ask them.
- Yes, ask them.

1066
01:23:16,918 --> 01:23:19,633
Ask them.
No idea.

1067
01:23:24,877 --> 01:23:27,343
There are images with
John on drums,

1068
01:23:27,460 --> 01:23:29,962
Tony singing and
me on percussion

1069
01:23:30,169 --> 01:23:32,846
and two musicians with
bass and guitar.

1070
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,342
I always wear
sad when I see them.

1071
01:23:40,502 --> 01:23:46,298
The last nail in the coffin was
a photo shoot for Single Raw.

1072
01:23:46,502 --> 01:23:48,753
Gary got involved
with Tony.

1073
01:23:48,959 --> 01:23:52,836
I took Gary aside and
I told him not to humiliate him.

1074
01:23:54,334 --> 01:23:57,131
I was angry because
I had the audacity to say something to him.

1075
01:23:57,250 --> 01:24:00,841
After ten seconds,
He approached me and said:

1076
01:24:00,959 --> 01:24:03,756
"If you don't like it,
"You know what you can do."

1077
01:24:04,834 --> 01:24:08,508
You can see it in our faces
that Spandau Ballet was over.

1078
01:24:20,874 --> 01:24:23,755
The tour was somewhat mechanical.

1079
01:24:23,958 --> 01:24:27,134
I barely moved and
I retreated to my world.

1080
01:24:27,833 --> 01:24:31,424
When I saw Martin and Gary,
who had just finished filming,

1081
01:24:31,541 --> 01:24:33,758
I only saw the Kray twins.

1082
01:24:37,166 --> 01:24:41,254
Thank you! Have a good time!
God bless you!

1083
01:24:41,374 --> 01:24:46,376
In March 1990
We finished the tour.

1084
01:24:46,499 --> 01:24:50,376
I don't know if any of us thought
which was our last appearance.

1085
01:24:50,500 --> 01:24:54,587
Two weeks later he was born
my daughter and I were happy

1086
01:24:55,624 --> 01:24:59,001
of being a father and being able to be
at home with her and loving her.

1087
01:24:59,123 --> 01:25:01,091
So I was busy.

1088
01:25:05,707 --> 01:25:08,753
There was no end and then
I realized I was alone.

1089
01:25:08,873 --> 01:25:11,208
I didn't even know how to say
how this had occurred.

1090
01:25:11,415 --> 01:25:13,086
We cut this together.

1091
01:25:13,207 --> 01:25:16,667
It's difficult when you know
to your classmates since you were a child.

1092
01:25:16,874 --> 01:25:21,756
you have made yourself
adult with them.

1093
01:25:22,831 --> 01:25:26,042
I'm Steve from Spandau Ballet
and that's "To Cut A Long Story Short."

1094
01:25:27,622 --> 01:25:29,542
He suffered a nervous breakdown.

1095
01:25:29,664 --> 01:25:34,215
I moved to Ibiza and lived there
for more than twelve years.

1096
01:25:34,331 --> 01:25:36,299
That saved my life.

1097
01:25:38,748 --> 01:25:41,461
That's life. What doesn't work
now, it will work later.

1098
01:25:42,705 --> 01:25:45,171
Everything okay?
The fucking door falls down.

1099
01:25:45,372 --> 01:25:47,210
- What's his name?
- Spandau Ballet.

1100
01:25:47,330 --> 01:25:50,958
- Are you recording this?
- Yes.

1101
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:53,795
-Yes?
- We'll take a couple of photos.

1102
01:25:53,914 --> 01:25:55,418
Very good.

1103
01:25:56,830 --> 01:25:59,331
For the first time in a long time
time, I was worried,

1104
01:25:59,455 --> 01:26:02,749
how much time do you have to
be without touching the drumsticks

1105
01:26:02,871 --> 01:26:05,087
until no longer
can you play again?

1106
01:26:05,204 --> 01:26:07,539
That distressed me a lot.

1107
01:26:07,746 --> 01:26:13,293
Ladies and gentlemen, we are dating
Downing Street for the last time

1108
01:26:13,496 --> 01:26:16,791
after eleven years
and half wonderful.

1109
01:26:18,288 --> 01:26:21,382
Why a solo album?
Is this the end of the band?

1110
01:26:21,580 --> 01:26:25,087
No, let no one be scared.
This is not the end of Spandau.

1111
01:26:25,287 --> 01:26:30,833
In 1993 we will make the next album.
And until then, here I am.

1112
01:26:32,370 --> 01:26:34,171
in my heart,

1113
01:26:34,287 --> 01:26:38,423
I was hoping everyone would avoid each other.
each other for two or three years

1114
01:26:38,620 --> 01:26:41,583
and then they will remember the roots.

1115
01:26:41,787 --> 01:26:43,706
Five boys.
Spandau Band.

1116
01:26:43,828 --> 01:26:47,585
- When will Spandau return?
- In a few years.

1117
01:26:48,328 --> 01:26:50,794
I have to do this
to prove myself.

1118
01:26:50,911 --> 01:26:52,997
When I feel
happy and satisfied,

1119
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,751
we will all meet
and we will do a great tour.

1120
01:26:55,870 --> 01:26:58,880
And a great album and
We will live happily ever after.

1121
01:27:00,702 --> 01:27:02,587
I'm Martin Kemp.
by Spandau Ballet.

1122
01:27:02,703 --> 01:27:04,918
and this is ours
new single "The Freeze".

1123
01:27:05,743 --> 01:27:07,837
The movie "The Krays"
It was a success.

1124
01:27:08,047 --> 01:27:10,130
And the doors opened
of cinema for Gary and me.

1125
01:27:10,243 --> 01:27:13,953
We pass more and more
time in Los Angeles.

1126
01:27:14,785 --> 01:27:19,123
I got stuck in the swamp
of B-movies.

1127
01:27:19,244 --> 01:27:21,959
But it was fun
And I made a lot of money.

1128
01:27:22,077 --> 01:27:26,083
In five years the band reunites
again and we go on tour.

1129
01:27:26,868 --> 01:27:29,167
In 1995, I was in Canada.

1130
01:27:29,368 --> 01:27:32,627
I was working on the series
television show The Outer Limits,

1131
01:27:32,826 --> 01:27:35,078
when I was diagnosed
a brain tumor.

1132
01:27:35,284 --> 01:27:40,499
I had two tumors, one was operated on
in Queen Square in London.

1133
01:27:40,701 --> 01:27:44,838
This machine eliminated the second
brain tumor of my brain.

1134
01:27:45,035 --> 01:27:46,622
That saved my life.

1135
01:27:46,742 --> 01:27:50,535
It took three years
and a half to recover.

1136
01:27:50,659 --> 01:27:56,087
Below my photo in
The newspapers always said:

1137
01:27:56,201 --> 01:27:58,334
Martin Kemp,
Brain tumor.

1138
01:27:59,659 --> 01:28:02,752
I received an offer
from the Eastenders series.

1139
01:28:02,867 --> 01:28:05,712
Everyone asked me what
did in a series like that.

1140
01:28:05,908 --> 01:28:08,041
I wanted to get rid
of this legend.

1141
01:28:08,158 --> 01:28:12,828
Instead, I should put:
"Martin Kemp, actor."

1142
01:28:14,283 --> 01:28:16,500
Gary kept doing
movies in Hollywood.

1143
01:28:16,700 --> 01:28:19,248
I was married to
Sadie Frost then.

1144
01:28:19,366 --> 01:28:22,994
She had a role in a
Francis Ford Coppola film

1145
01:28:23,117 --> 01:28:25,795
and me another in a movie
by Kevin Costner.

1146
01:28:27,117 --> 01:28:30,078
I think at some point
I had to come home.

1147
01:28:32,366 --> 01:28:35,956
My marriage failed.
That happens a lot in L.A.

1148
01:28:37,073 --> 01:28:38,626
And...

1149
01:28:39,699 --> 01:28:43,657
I never felt at ease
with the interpretation.

1150
01:28:43,865 --> 01:28:47,658
As an actor you are always
waiting to get a job.

1151
01:28:49,699 --> 01:28:52,709
You don't express yourself like

1152
01:28:52,823 --> 01:28:55,999
I like to do
when I write songs.

1153
01:28:56,198 --> 01:29:00,252
People always ask: "Is the band still on?"
Are you taking a break?"

1154
01:29:00,365 --> 01:29:03,743
Seven years old? No.
By no means.

1155
01:29:03,865 --> 01:29:08,830
- Do you have a relationship with each other?
-John Keeble is my drummer.

1156
01:29:08,948 --> 01:29:13,284
I also see Steve Norman.
I see Steve and Martin,

1157
01:29:13,405 --> 01:29:15,206
but not Gary.

1158
01:29:17,947 --> 01:29:20,413
That's how it is.
It's a shame, but oh well.

1159
01:29:47,655 --> 01:29:50,701
It's a shame that

1160
01:29:53,363 --> 01:29:58,079
after passing
so much time together

1161
01:29:59,696 --> 01:30:03,572
it is difficult for us to call each other
each other.

1162
01:30:05,404 --> 01:30:10,702
80s pop group Spandau Ballet
has met in court today.

1163
01:30:10,820 --> 01:30:14,743
The singer Tony Hadley,
John Keeble and Steve Norman

1164
01:30:14,862 --> 01:30:18,915
are in litigation with Gary Kemp over the
money from the band's royalties.

1165
01:30:20,278 --> 01:30:22,163
Gary Kemp has today
the opportunity to

1166
01:30:22,278 --> 01:30:25,703
defend against their
former members and friends of the band.

1167
01:30:25,820 --> 01:30:28,403
He supposedly promised them
a portion of the copyright.

1168
01:30:28,528 --> 01:30:30,532
but now he wants
go up to the stand

1169
01:30:30,654 --> 01:30:33,237
and give your version
of history.

1170
01:30:33,362 --> 01:30:35,116
The truth.

1171
01:30:38,236 --> 01:30:40,571
I was very scared.

1172
01:30:40,695 --> 01:30:42,827
none of us
I wanted to go to trial.

1173
01:30:42,944 --> 01:30:46,120
As much as
was against,

1174
01:30:46,236 --> 01:30:51,699
I had to defend myself
and enforce our demand.

1175
01:30:51,819 --> 01:30:54,782
It's not just about
to follow a plan.

1176
01:30:54,903 --> 01:30:56,455
It's not that.

1177
01:30:56,569 --> 01:31:00,278
A fight in the locker room
It would have made more sense.

1178
01:31:01,694 --> 01:31:03,495
Then we would have
knew where we were.

1179
01:31:03,694 --> 01:31:05,862
23 days in court
It's a long time.

1180
01:31:05,985 --> 01:31:09,280
That was not pleasant
for none of us.

1181
01:31:09,485 --> 01:31:12,448
 �We can talk about the legal dispute
What exists in Spandau Ballet?

1182
01:31:12,569 --> 01:31:15,578
- If you want.
- It's a shame that this happens.

1183
01:31:15,776 --> 01:31:18,408
Martin remained
outside the trial.

1184
01:31:18,527 --> 01:31:21,218
He is my brother, but also
a good friend to others.

1185
01:31:21,442 --> 01:31:22,948
I was devastated.

1186
01:31:23,151 --> 01:31:27,027
The three members of the band Spandau
Ballet have lost the process.

1187
01:31:27,151 --> 01:31:30,742
It was hundreds of thousands
of pounds for copyright.

1188
01:31:30,943 --> 01:31:32,578
According to the lawyers,
They are disappointed.

1189
01:31:32,693 --> 01:31:35,490
We will review the decision.

1190
01:31:35,610 --> 01:31:39,035
We have already presented
the appeal request.

1191
01:31:39,151 --> 01:31:42,943
We left the Court and had
to face the press,

1192
01:31:43,067 --> 01:31:45,532
after we lost.

1193
01:31:45,650 --> 01:31:49,277
We didn't know how we were doing
to pay the costs.

1194
01:31:49,483 --> 01:31:51,818
Gary Kemp remains
the recipient of the rights,

1195
01:31:51,942 --> 01:31:54,822
when one of his songs
plays on the radio or television.

1196
01:31:55,025 --> 01:31:57,324
three of the five
former members of Spandau Ballet

1197
01:31:57,442 --> 01:32:00,120
they must have to work
in musical circles again

1198
01:32:00,234 --> 01:32:03,575
and raise money
to appeal.

1199
01:32:03,733 --> 01:32:06,909
As strange as it may seem,
The trial gave me confidence.

1200
01:32:07,025 --> 01:32:10,568
For the first time, I thought about it,
what I had contributed to the band.

1201
01:32:10,691 --> 01:32:13,239
I realized
that it was worth anything.

1202
01:32:13,442 --> 01:32:16,985
Sometimes pop music
It takes you to strange places.

1203
01:32:17,107 --> 01:32:19,869
I would prefer not to be here.

1204
01:32:19,982 --> 01:32:23,905
I didn't win the trial.
I lost my band.

1205
01:32:24,815 --> 01:32:29,034
At that time I had lost
all the good memories.

1206
01:32:29,148 --> 01:32:31,732
There was no reason
to be proud.

1207
01:32:32,565 --> 01:32:34,900
Everyone remembers the
events differently

1208
01:32:35,024 --> 01:32:36,529
and nobody is right
or is wrong.

1209
01:32:36,732 --> 01:32:40,739
You can only
create a gray area,

1210
01:32:40,857 --> 01:32:44,365
in which everything is put
and it is no longer touched.

1211
01:32:46,107 --> 01:32:50,408
You trust the legal system and
hope it works correctly.

1212
01:32:50,522 --> 01:32:52,821
But when you lose,
You must take it calmly.

1213
01:32:52,939 --> 01:32:55,025
You pay the costs and that's it.

1214
01:32:55,148 --> 01:32:58,158
On the other hand,
It was something complicated,

1215
01:32:58,273 --> 01:33:00,323
because we had
We have to pay the costs.

1216
01:33:00,523 --> 01:33:02,443
They call me Gary Kemp
from Spandau Ballet,

1217
01:33:02,565 --> 01:33:04,650
but since 1990 already
We don't record albums.

1218
01:33:17,939 --> 01:33:20,700
In 2004, he remixed
the film "Barricades".

1219
01:33:21,772 --> 01:33:23,905
We played live
at the NEC, Birmingham.

1220
01:33:30,729 --> 01:33:36,074
For the first time since the 80s,
I saw the band play live.

1221
01:33:40,063 --> 01:33:42,908
I had forgotten how much
that we had fun.

1222
01:33:45,563 --> 01:33:49,236
At that moment,
I knew I wanted to repeat that.

1223
01:33:49,438 --> 01:33:53,774
I thought we should
fix everything,

1224
01:33:53,895 --> 01:33:56,740
because it is
let it be Spandau,

1225
01:33:56,854 --> 01:34:00,730
it was more important
than the resentment between us.

1226
01:34:09,436 --> 01:34:14,153
It would be necessary to build too many bridges
so we can meet again.

1227
01:34:14,353 --> 01:34:18,027
There is a loyalty
between all of us.

1228
01:34:18,145 --> 01:34:20,729
We don't want to lose
to no member.

1229
01:34:20,854 --> 01:34:24,527
We want to grow together and
remain faithful to our ideals.

1230
01:34:25,644 --> 01:34:28,572
It always seems to me
it has seemed cynical

1231
01:34:28,770 --> 01:34:32,028
when a band after years
separated meets again.

1232
01:34:32,144 --> 01:34:34,147
That smells like money.

1233
01:34:34,352 --> 01:34:38,903
In reality, it is
to recover something

1234
01:34:40,686 --> 01:34:44,230
that I was naive
and true

1235
01:34:44,436 --> 01:34:47,565
and wonderful

1236
01:34:47,769 --> 01:34:50,319
that we had
by being together.

1237
01:34:50,852 --> 01:34:55,936
I would like to recover this innocence
and I want to make music with them again.

1238
01:34:56,060 --> 01:34:59,022
But first we have to
overcome personal differences.

1239
01:35:03,018 --> 01:35:05,484
I spent a lot of time with
Tony and I made music with him.

1240
01:35:05,685 --> 01:35:08,612
We talk a lot
about Spandau.

1241
01:35:08,810 --> 01:35:12,269
We used to sit together,
sweaty, after a concert.

1242
01:35:12,392 --> 01:35:15,853
It was like going back to
Spandau Ballet.

1243
01:35:16,059 --> 01:35:19,319
Tony's eyes sparkled and I said:
"You agree, right?"

1244
01:35:19,518 --> 01:35:22,279
He said, "Yes, but
"There are many problems."

1245
01:35:22,476 --> 01:35:24,735
Answered:
"Yes, I know what you mean."

1246
01:35:28,392 --> 01:35:30,291
I thought,
"Let's try it."

1247
01:35:30,517 --> 01:35:33,894
I couldn't change the past,
but maybe the future can.

1248
01:35:35,933 --> 01:35:39,690
Who took the first step,
It is not very clear.

1249
01:35:39,808 --> 01:35:41,527
We were all involved.

1250
01:35:41,642 --> 01:35:45,897
Gary and I flew to Ibiza several
times to visit Steve Norman.

1251
01:35:48,225 --> 01:35:51,437
I told him:
"You still look like Elvis."

1252
01:35:51,559 --> 01:35:53,064
Then I hugged him.

1253
01:35:57,725 --> 01:35:59,774
Steve is my friend
oldest in the band.

1254
01:36:02,974 --> 01:36:05,059
In many ways,
that was our group.

1255
01:36:05,182 --> 01:36:08,442
If I had to convince
to someone first, that was him.

1256
01:36:18,182 --> 01:36:22,567
We returned to
meet again.

1257
01:36:33,973 --> 01:36:38,938
But then a problem arose
major in the form of Tony Hadley.

1258
01:36:43,389 --> 01:36:45,309
I guess that
It's called diplomacy.

1259
01:36:46,014 --> 01:36:48,776
I talked to Tony.
And I talked to Gary.

1260
01:36:49,827 --> 01:36:53,062
At some point, Gary asked me:
"Why do you want to do that?"

1261
01:36:53,181 --> 01:36:55,184
I answered.
"I want a better ending."

1262
01:36:55,411 --> 01:36:59,975
I don't want Spandau Ballet
end up in court.

1263
01:37:01,514 --> 01:37:03,351
In the bitterness."

1264
01:37:07,763 --> 01:37:11,603
I'm not going to say what it was
easy, because it wasn't.

1265
01:37:12,347 --> 01:37:15,855
Some of us had
to overcome great obstacles.

1266
01:37:20,263 --> 01:37:21,898
John Keeble was calling me
to me again and again.

1267
01:37:22,096 --> 01:37:24,644
After thinking about it
a little, I thought:

1268
01:37:24,763 --> 01:37:27,097
"Okay, maybe
"We can fix this."

1269
01:37:51,137 --> 01:37:54,930
It's great to be here.
That's like going to Billy's.

1270
01:38:07,636 --> 01:38:10,895
It was a shock
enter the room

1271
01:38:11,011 --> 01:38:15,183
and see the guitars
and the team.

1272
01:38:23,177 --> 01:38:25,310
There was magic
in the room.

1273
01:38:25,510 --> 01:38:29,268
There is that chemistry that
only the five of us have.

1274
01:38:34,719 --> 01:38:36,805
Music was more important
than anything else.

1275
01:38:36,928 --> 01:38:39,973
It was more important
than any dispute.

1276
01:38:40,093 --> 01:38:42,772
She got us through
everything else.

1277
01:38:56,843 --> 01:39:00,470
HMS BELFAST, LONDON
MARCH 2009

1278
01:39:06,259 --> 01:39:10,893
Hooray, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for being here today.

1279
01:39:11,008 --> 01:39:13,687
The morning was great.
We have enjoyed it a lot.

1280
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:15,886
As you can see,
we are together again.

1281
01:39:16,009 --> 01:39:18,853
We are very happy
and thanks for coming.

1282
01:39:19,050 --> 01:39:24,349
<i>�It is true that his first appearance
Friday is with Jonathan Ross?</i>

1283
01:39:24,551 --> 01:39:25,937
I think so.

1284
01:39:26,134 --> 01:39:28,551
Make yourself comfortable.
It's good to have them together again.

1285
01:39:28,883 --> 01:39:30,927
I am very happy.

1286
01:39:31,133 --> 01:39:35,638
This is my second family and I have
missed for 20 years.

1287
01:39:35,842 --> 01:39:39,302
Johnny Keeble
It's really cool.

1288
01:39:39,509 --> 01:39:41,559
It's great, and
It took some time.

1289
01:39:41,759 --> 01:39:44,720
 �Something has changed in
royalty terms?

1290
01:39:44,841 --> 01:39:46,809
Uh, a controversial topic!

1291
01:39:48,299 --> 01:39:51,261
Gary told me
yield all to me.

1292
01:39:53,507 --> 01:39:55,345
This is a
private matter.

1293
01:39:55,466 --> 01:39:59,140
There is a Spandau questionnaire
to see how much you remember.

1294
01:39:59,257 --> 01:40:02,268
If the answer is correct,
I press this button.

1295
01:40:05,508 --> 01:40:07,890
 �And if the answer is wrong,

1296
01:40:08,633 --> 01:40:11,346
you will all receive the
same part of the royalties?

1297
01:40:14,631 --> 01:40:16,599
I don't know how
this got here.

1298
01:40:23,048 --> 01:40:26,639
- Are you worried about the tour?
- No.

1299
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:31,473
We appreciate that you are
here and we feel it,

1300
01:40:31,589 --> 01:40:33,557
but the reality is that only
We want to give concerts.

1301
01:40:37,006 --> 01:40:39,803
Tickets for the concert
by Spandau Ballet in London

1302
01:40:39,923 --> 01:40:42,554
They sold out in 20 minutes.

1303
01:40:47,797 --> 01:40:51,306
They announced a series of concerts in
the UK and around the world.

1304
01:40:51,421 --> 01:40:54,302
There will also be another
concert at the 02 Arena.

1305
01:40:54,421 --> 01:40:56,306
The guitarist of
Spandau, Gary Kemp,

1306
01:40:56,421 --> 01:40:59,716
describe the reactions
upon return as phenomenal.

1307
01:41:16,005 --> 01:41:18,469
Thank you very much!
Thank you!

1308
01:41:18,670 --> 01:41:20,804
We want to play a song.

1309
01:41:22,087 --> 01:41:24,802
It's not a song
Duran Duran, that's for sure.

1310
01:41:24,921 --> 01:41:29,093
I will leave the nonsense for
the encore and will only say: Hooray!

1311
01:41:31,004 --> 01:41:34,713
Very well thank you.
You already know what's coming now.

1312
01:42:18,127 --> 01:42:19,881
That's great.

1313
01:42:34,794 --> 01:42:36,595
Guys, are you ready?

1314
01:44:00,707 --> 01:44:02,341
The flag is great!

1315
01:45:23,913 --> 01:45:26,295
Thank you very much!

1316
01:45:26,414 --> 01:45:29,542
To those back there
and the sides, thank you!

1317
01:45:29,662 --> 01:45:31,961
Enjoy the day!

1318
01:46:13,785 --> 01:46:16,582
It's good to be back.
Thank you!

1319
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:22,163
The bar is open.
