Liverpool's highlight was the album's closer, 'Is Anybody Out There', possibly an attempt to regain territory they'd claimed for themselves with 'The Power Of Love'. It was a poignant mixture of regret, passion and sorrow that highlighted Johnson's faith in selfless compassion as a saving grace – "The highest price I'd gladly pay / For you to live just golden days" – whilst conceding that the only way to survive in a world where "children are dying and nobody's crying" is to adopt a sense of 'carpe diem': "Give me real life, the worry and the strife / I'll throw it out of the window to the dogs below". Johnson sounds completely at home here, the sparse arrangements allowing his voice to shine as he indulges in visions of a better life: "Come with me / I'll guide you through wardrobes of fantasy / And treasure chests of what could be / A world without anxiety / A legacy of golden days". In fact, the song alone is almost enough to justify Liverpool's existence, and survives now as a lament for what might have been possible if the band hadn't been simultaneously tearing itself apart. "If I could change the things I've done," Johnson sings at its start, "would I be the only one?" and it's hard not to experience simultaneously a huge sense of disappointment at the knowledge of what they had by now squandered.

On 7 May 2023, the original members, including Johnson and Nash, reunited for a concert featuring multiple acts celebrating Liverpool music for the Eurovision Song Contest. [60] They performed one song, "Welcome to the Pleasuredome". [60] It was their first performance together since 1987. [35] The performance drew praise but disappointed those hoping for more songs. [60] [61] [62] The Telegraph gave it three out of five, writing that Johnson remained "a commanding presence" but that the short set was disappointing. [62] The BBC wrote: "Maybe one song is as much time as the five band members can bear to share a stage for—but at least they proved that they and their music can still sound compelling and fresh." [60] In 1998, a band using the name Frankie Goes to Hollywood began to tour the United States. [37] The band was led by an American using the stage name Davey Johnson, who claimed he was Holly Johnson's brother and had performed as an uncredited session musician on Welcome to the Pleasuredome. [37] The members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Horn refuted both claims. O'Toole, who had been living in Florida, became aware of the band and warned concert promoters not to hire them. [37]

On 5 December 2013, Johnson performed at Save The Children’s Christmas Tree Sessions at London’s Union Chapel. He closed the evening with ‘The Power Of Love’ accompanied by Gaz Coombes on guitar. Atomic Kitten and the Lightning Seeds were also huge draws for the event celebrating Liverpool’s musical heritage, which was dubbed “Eurovision meets Scousevision” by the Lightning Seeds frontman, Ian Broudie.
