When I first saw them in 1985, Barney was glued to the spot, both hands on the mike like the mike stand was holding him up (it probably was) and looking like he'd been forced onto stage as punishment by rob.

The first time I saw the infamous Barney dance was when electronic performed twisted tenderness on TOTP, but he had started moving around in a kind of dance at around the time of technique, must have been the switch from acid to ecstacy.

Hang on did you say TWISTED TENDERNESS????? that was never a single...

Which one are you referring to?

yes, I prefer the days when they all stood still (except hooky) and basically just looked at the floor. Barneys dancing is embarassing, and apparently his kids think so too.

Barnie has always been my dance instructor.

the man's pracitcally 50... let him have his fun like you'd let your drunk old dad or silly old uncle dance around at a family get-together. he's past the artsy pretentiousness of his 20s, and he's actually enjoying his time playing with the band now. if barney's having fun, then so am i!

Well...there is the video footage of him spinning around on the Run video...so we know that move is at least as old as the footage that was taken from (Puerto Rico?)

I could be wrong, I was off my head when I saw it, but not enough to forgive that dance.

I'm waiting for the day when hooky does a swoop and his back goes, and he gets taken off the stage like tommy cooper, but I'd rather see that than hooky sitting down like on OST when he did the happy one.

I always thought the Run footage was taken from the USA tour in 89

Did you read that somewhere about his kids? Was wondering what they thought of ol'dad on stage :D

His dancing is one of the things we love to see him doing, isn't it? It is always fun to see that he seems to love his own music still enough, to move in a "kind of dancing way" to it. I'm not a great dancer, too. OK I don't do it in public .

Barny told of his story in Chicago regard to the shark attach while surfin in CA, I could tell the last song he did in Shy-Town he was definitly in pain. I also made it to New York to see them. I was in in front and center on the rail, I yelled at him, " Stay away from those sharks" he heard me and turned his head and asked someone along the stage how someone knew that.. He proceeded to tell his story to the audiance about the shark attach.. -HILARIOUS!! I do hope he makes a swift recovery for the rest of his tour stops in EU.

Shark attack? Is there something I have missed?

Sounds like you need a printout of the autocue my friend :D

The BarneyDance rules! I remember how it was funny to dance it with Manuel at the Limelight in London just after learning it in Manchester! BTW I also think that the early Barney is the coolest of course, especially the fury of the EGG live video, or the coolness of New York 1981... but it would be ridiculous to see him still performing that way today, the music has evolved and so his attitude. It would be as ridiculous as seeing Robert Smith still around as a goth with make up, hair and stuff... ;)

Sure Barney can play with a torn foot ligament, broken bones or falling on a telepromter machine but he cant play with these injuries

a) Bruised ego b) Broken Autocue c) Low sperm count

And if he broke his fingers, he can use his tongue on the guitar.

Please if you can get one for me...

Serious: I wasn't there and I don't know anything about a shark attack on anyone... I can't imagine Barney surfing... Not in these days...

So any updates on his foot?
