Saw those guys in 1986; they rocked. Played a smallish venue that was totally packed: when the folks next to you jumped, you'd better jump too. The crowd was into their heavy thrash stuff, all energy, but I liked the parts best when they pulled back, executing tight strategic maneuvers that held all that energy pent up and about to burst. The thrashy stuff, anyone could have done. The strategic stuff showed the serious musicianship behind the band. The whole posted above is about 30% of the energy level of the show I saw, and that's not a criticism.

 

Plus they're totally dry. The show I saw, water was flying everywhere. Peter Garret had a water bottle, and he knew how to use it! I cringed thinking of maintaining their gear. He'd pour water on drums or cymbals and the drummer would smack them and water would fly everywhere, and the lighting highlighted the effect.

 

That does sound good, and IMHO keyboard brass usually sounds cheesy if there isn't at least one horn player. I bet it's a sample of real horns playing that line, as mentioned above.

"Strategic" :-) Yes, serious musicianship with those guys, and a lot of energy.

Oh, and I think it's samples from the original sessions, too.

There are live horn players at the back left corner of the stage. They're briefly visible when the camera zooms out at the end of the song.

 

I like how when the drummer is about to sing backup, someone swings a mic into place for him and then swings the mic away when he's finished singing.

Well summagun, you're right! No wonder it sounds real!
