Superb band and always at there best live…far better than the so called super group … u2… the alarms songs far outplay anything they mullets wrote… mike peters and the band wrote quality lyrics… 1st 4 albums different class.. in there heydays the best live act along with big country… no doubt about that… a band of the people who know music….

The Alarm gave one of their best ever concerts at UCLA, California back in '86... I think it was transmitted live on MTV.. still have the whole broadcast on a VHS.

This free concert was suppose to be about 5,000 at most; everyone was caught off guard when the crowd swelled up to 35,000! This unforgettable moment made the local news and was later celebrated for the massive crowds good behavior.

What about that ending though, where Dave just improvises on his strat... Brilliant 😄...

Dave Sharp was on fire at that free concert... actually all the band were!!

The Alarm and The Church were always the best alternative to U2! ❤

Should have more views

I remember my brother saying once that The Alarm were to play a show at Aberystwyth University, where he was a student at the time. But disaster struck when they realised that all their guitars had been pinched. But a local guitar shop stepped in & loaned them guitars to play the show. Nice story I thought :)

You can where U2 got their sound from

One of the best songs, EVER!!!

i was at this show and it was fucking amazing!!!!!! Still one of my favorite all time bands man I love these guys....

My father

Bowie's cover of God only knows is in this group of love songs

Timeless classi love song and one of the best ever written

Such a great band and great song. Thanks so much for posting.

I like the studio recording as the brass goes really well in the background

Who tries to rush the stage on "Walk Forever By My Side?"...lol

The best most underrated band ever

Based on time period, lyrics and melody - this should have sooooo many more views/likes. Everything about this song is SOOO Goood - Cheers!

The ultimate "twin flame" song.

Great band, great show, great performance from Mike Peters and keyboardist Mark Taylor. I think Eddie, Nigel and Dave enjoyed their break. : )
