OPUS - LiVe Is Life

On Sept 2, 1984 the song Live Is Life was spontaneously created during a concert by Austrian pop band Opus. The group was celebrating it's eleventh year, and the enthusiastic crowd had joined in, singing verses of their song. The concert in Oberwart, Austria had been recorded, and in 1985 the release became a worldwide chart topper. In 1989 the song was being played over the loudspeakers while players were warming up at a UEFA Cup semi-final in Munich. Napoli's Diego Maradona broke out in a juggling exhibition that became a youtube sensation, and an all time classic moment for soccer fans. In 1994 Opus recorded a new version of Live Is Life for the 1994 FIFA World Cup - the song has since become a worldwide sports anthem. Opus recorded yet another version in 1998, and the song has been covered numerous times by many others.
