What a great video time machine with a young Jools Holland ( Squeeze ) taking us back to 1983/4 New York. New York in the early 80s now looks like a place on another planet. You can almost taste the energy of those times with all the competing cultural subgroups playing off each other. The one shot of the CBGB club looked a bit sad as the music scene was again making another big change.
