I can give you a bit of info about this one. It's from 7th November, 1986 and it was a live appearance on the Channel 4 show, The Tube. I know all this because I saw them the night before at the Newcastle Mayfair and met them after the show. I remember asking them what they would be playing on tv next day.

I really love this version, even though Mick misses a vocal cue and everyone goes out of synch with the backing track.

I love the bit when he sings "Newcastle is yours tonight." Nice little geographical touch. :cool:

This is great. It's the best live Sightsee MC I've heard.

Not technically live. I think Mick is singing to the pre-recorded backing track. Still the best version I've heard though, better than the upping St version.
