Up with G2V (or 'Make mine a G&T')

From Flash Delirium to Flashback.

I usually don't opt for only posting a live version but (a) watching Top of the Pops on Thursday nights at 7:30 was such a huge treat that I will forever have a special spot in my heart for my favorite songs performed on the show, over their videos being shown (b) it's not really "live" now, is it--I mean, unless all those performers had special powers to not only project their voices incredibly well, without the help of a mic., but also play [mostly] electronic instruments that were not plugged into anything and have them sound so good (c) how can you not want to watch original 80s dance moves against a backdrop of original 80s fashion? (d) you can truly appreciate the excellence of this song, over quarter of a century later, despite the 80s framework.
