YMO - LIVE GREEK THEATRE ‘79 - PT1

4th August L.A ‘79

Anybody who owns ‘Public Pressure’ will instantly appreciate this

Hideki Matsutake (Logic System) is perched behind that ‘Techno Spaghetti’ console (Moog III) behind takahashi-san!

I was expecting ‘Cosmic surfin’ after the intro (just like the cd) so must be an alfa edit

Duration : 0:7:48

    この頃の教授は、ヘッドホンマイクじゃないし、メイクもしてなかったんですね。なんか新鮮です。

  8. What separated …
    What separated Yellow Magic Orchestra from Kraftwerk and The Human League and those early electronic bands was that they had more complex musical sensibilities rather than just the atmospheric elements.

    add &fmt=18 at the end of the url and you’ll have HQ with stereo :).

  16. I may agree that …
    I may agree that the text they want to sing may not be the text the audience will hear. Therefore I must say that YMO and singing does not belong together. I didn’t say I disagreed it sounded like “wer starving”

  17. You are so so off! …
    You are so so off! “we’re going and starving”? Just look up the lyrics at google =)

  18. That’s Ryuichi …
    That’s Ryuichi Sakamoto on vocals, but the vocoder makes it imposible to hear if he’s singing in Japanese or some other language… ;)

    This is good actually.

    I saw them when they opened for the Tubes at the Greek…can’t remember if this was it. Makes you want to dust off the analog toys in the attic. Some music just doesn’t lose its appeal!!

  22. It beats everything …
    It beats everything that they brought that huge sequencer onto the stage to make such simple sound while we only have to use today computer-installed soft one.
    Matsutake’s performance is superb!

  23. If you look at my …
    If you look at my other video ‘YMO - Arrive in London’ you’ll hear ‘The End of Asia’ as background music. That is also from public pressure, but where PP’s version had no guitar, the video version does. There was a dispute with record companies and they edited /removed the guitar out for PP. Good album btw :)

  24. Ah, I’m going the …
    Ah, I’m going the other way round, I wanted to see what I’d be getting if I bought PP (if it’s even available for sale anywhere). All I’ve heard from the album is Cosmic Surfin’ so far

  25. It is indeed :) but …
    It is indeed :) but you’ll notice if you’ve heard PP, that the song after this intro is behind the mask and not cosmic surfin’
