The biggest Alarm gig ever. 25,000+ people witness one of the first live satellite worldwide broadcasts ever. Played live on MTV, but taped for some parts of the world. This show should have been the band’s big break. However, in-fighting would doom the band, and this would end-up their biggest ever highlight. Support gigs for Queen at Wembly stadium would also be great highlights, but in retrospect the Spirit Of ’86 was best remembered by the most people around the world.
