Down In The Subway (Performed On Supersonic / 1983) [REMASTERED] · Soft Cell
https://youtu.be/zSxSf3y1c-k
Soft Cell's last single before dissolution, "Down In The Subway", was performed live in late 1983 as part of a one-off revival Christmas special for the "Supersonic" music television show.
From Wikipedia:
Although the show featured performers with songs in the music charts, the show, unlike Top of the Pops, was not chart-based. The show was recorded in front of an audience of teenagers at London Weekend's studios . . . and used a style of production in which television cameras were highly visible and areas such as the production gallery were featured. Its producer and director also doubled as host, cueing in performances from the studio gallery instead of presenting conventional links to camera.

Soft Cell - Hits & Pieces
Soft Cell performs their number-one hit single "Tainted Love" for France 2's music program "Platine 45". Though mimed to the studio track, the bold red and black visuals as well as Marc Almond's vibrant performance bring a new depth to the 60's lyric.
