Emerging from Soho's ultra hip Blitz Club in 1979 during another economic depression, Spandau Ballet formed at school in North London before becoming the hottest unsigned band on the planet. From underground, fashion and music obsessed working class Londoners, to global superstars, the band set the pace, the styles and the sound of the 1980s.
Not only did their albums sell by the millions, but their look and style impacted on the fashion world and beyond. They created their own style, combining creativity with entrepreneurship and the 'can do' spirit of early 80s youth at a time of crisis and upheaval eerily reminiscent of 2009. Spandau Ballet are both commercially and culturally enormous.
As my favorite band of the 80's, I was so excited that Spandau Ballet was finally coming to San Diego. I was not disappointed, it was everything I hoped it would be and more! All of the guys still look and sound great. Thank you and please come back often!!!!!
70's band still has it, very entertaining concert from new wave band that still has kick
I was looking forward to seeing this band for the first time, and was truly amazed with their exuberant performance. Spandau was always a favorite band of mine and I needed to see them in person. Not only are they gorgeous (back in the 80s and now), but they are extremely talented. I just loved the lead singer's voice (still powerful and melodic..sorry name escapes me at the moment...memory isn't what it used to be...lol). I was also very impressed with the sax playing blonde marvel (again, name escapes me). I just have to say "Wow" ..what a pleasure it was to reminisce with their beautiful songs, and enjoy some new releases. I can't wait to see them again. I hope they play other venues in both LA and OC. The parking was a nightmare (too many people going to the fair, but I endured in order to see Spandau. The show was surely worth the wait. I highly recommend this band for many reasons: their performance live is spectacular. They play their instruments to perfection and they sing with great passion. They have tremendous presence. I am hooked man. I gotta see them again...Please come back soon!!!! Excellent concert. One of the best I've seen hands down. Also, Richard Blade was in awsome form: he's funny and sweet. It was grand to see him again and remember those KROQ days. My favorite disk jockey with one of my all-time favorite bands. This show was awsome!!!!
I grew up listening to this band. They are so great! would watch them again.
what an incredible night.... Spandau Ballet were amazing. i felt like I was at an intimate gathering with friends. the audience was of my era, and Spandau Ballet put on a great show. Tony Hadley has such a beautiful voice and is just so warm on stage. They all looked like they were having fun and that made the show so enjoyable. I would go see them again in a hot second. Richard Blade is just a great person. talks to everyone like they are his friends and really appreciates his fans
it was a surprising evening listening to Spandau Ballet uplifting vocals and full-band ensemble, including saxophone and hand drums, under the full moon. they sounded so good live, and the British accent definitely made it even more enticing! we all had such a good time at the concert. DJ Richard Blade was very entertaining with his game of poetic lyrics song guessing. When in Rome lead singer went up on stage and sang their song "The Promise" was definitely a bonus!
Spandau Ballet...please schedule another concert next summer for Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California! For that matter, play more USA shows, you can build a great fan base performing concerts as we saw/heard. I didn't know what to expect, though perhaps a bit soft of music. Boy was I pleasantly surprised, it was a full-on Rock band with a crooner style singer! Sort of like Michael Buble' in a Rock band (I've seen MB two times). Lead singer Tony Hadley can really sing well, both soft and belting loud with power. It was a great show in every way, and I say that from experience since I see many music concerts, Steve Miller Band a few days before this show, RUSH the day after. Go see/hear Spandau Ballet in concert!
Even after all these years, Tony Hadley's voice sounds as strong and distinctive as ever. A great show, with Spandau Ballet making a strong connection to the audience - wonderful value for the money!
One of the best live shows I've ever seen! Spandau Ballet sang all their hits songs with energy and joy. I love that they performed some earlier songs and the newer hits. They were so gracious and genuinely happy to perform. Every member performed their best! Tony Hadley's vocals was on point. Spandau Ballet is on top of their game!!!
Spandau Ballet sounded great. Best voice out of the 80's. Recommend seeing them.
