Embarked on global tour

The band embarked on a global tour that continued throughout the first four months of 1984 including their first major stadium dates in America. A film crew led by director Russell Mulcahy followed the band closely, leading to the documentary film Sing Blue Silver and the accompanying concert film Arena . The live album Arena was also recorded during the tour and was released with the new single ” The Wild Boys “, which went to number two on both sides of the Atlantic . In February 1984, the band appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and won two Grammy Awards in the brand-new Long Form and Short Form music video categories. Meanwhile, ” Save a Prayer ” gained momentum in North America, and a special US remix of the song became a single in January 1985. It peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March. A live version of the song was used for the single’s B-side, taken from the concert video footage for Arena / As the Lights Go Down .
