Neon Nights - 160 - Bananarama - 1989 Live World Tour

Neon Nights presents the ULTRA-RARE “Bananarama 1989 World Tour”, which is the second concert tour by British girl group Bananarama. The first tour was a “warm up” under the name of “Lovekids Tour 1988” and was only performed in Japan. The 1989 World Tour supported four studio albums, Deep Sea Skiving, Bananarama, True Confessions, and Wow!. This tour which hit North America, Asia, Australia, Ireland and the UK promoted the group’s Greatest Hits Collection. At the same time, Bananarama entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the all-female group who have the most chart entries in history, a record they still hold. Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward had known Jacqui O’Sullivan since they were eighteen and had invited to become a member of Bananarama as a replacement for outgoing member Siobhan Fahey, who also approved of the choice.

This was recorded in Sheffield, UK on the 23rd of May, 1989.

Their new song  “Love, Truth and Honesty“, which is officially their BEST EVER SONG (according to JVA) , was included and remixed.
The other new track on the setlist was a re-recorded version of the Supremes track and officially their WORST EVER SONG (according to JVA) “Nathan Jones“.

When Bananarama toured the United States in 1989, they felt they had proven to doubters—particularly the press—that they were a legitimate musical entity. As member Sara Dallin told the Washington Times, “People originally thought we wouldn’t last. They thought we’d be one-hit wonders…. I think seven years’ success has proved everybody wrong. We’ve finally got the success we deserve.”
