OPUS - Live Is Life

Release date: 1985

The song was created during a concert in Oberwart, on 2 September 1984, while the group celebrated its eleventh anniversary. Recorded in a live version, the audience also sings the verses. In the lyrics, the song expresses "the enthusiastic attachment of the group to the stage".

On 19 April 1989, during the warming up in Munich before the UEFA Cup semi-final return between FC Bayern Munich and S.S.C. Napoli, Diego Maradona did a keepie uppie exhibition while the song was heard on the stadium's loudspeakers. This has become a classic among football fans.
