Thomas Dolby rocking a Fairlight in 84. I love it!

Wow. A fairlight and a ppg wave. Top of the line back then.

R.I.P. Matthew Seligman.

He's a brilliant artist. Watch his "Live Wireless". Electronic musicianship at its finest.

Excellent ! Thomas Dolby 👍🤟👏

Just stumbled across this. Didn't care much for TD back in the day but saw him live a couple of years back & was amazed by his talent & personality. Thank you for uploading

Glad you enjoyed this, thank for watching and commenting

Thomas played keyboards on Def Leppard's two biggest albums Pyromania and Hysteria and even toured with them. Had no idea about this until recently.

Blew in from the hoverport She was back in London Pushed past the papermen Calling her name She smiled for the cameras As the bodyguard grabbed me Her eyes were gone forever As they drove her away

Loved his first album but kind of lost touch after that. Read his biography recently (an absolute hoot, so honest) and rediscovered his music. For once genius is an understatement, I hope he will release some new music one day. Saw Mathew Seligman play with the reformed Soft Boys in 2002 (and once at a 90s reunion in Brighton but I was very drunk at the time..), a truly great talent and sadly missed.

wow - thanks for uploading this - i had this on vhs at the time and must have worn it out I played it so many times. Then, on 7th Feb 2021, on the closing credits of Channel 4 "The Great", they played it. Instantly looked for this and found it.

You are most welcome Andi 🙂

Nice to have the full performance - thanks. That's a 'who's who' of synthesizers on that stage: PPG, Fairlight, Jupiter 8, Jupiter 4 and the poor red SH-101. If it was 1984 I'm surprised there was no DX7 though I don't remember Dolby using that one. Probably the only band in the 80s who didn't use it.

Yep. Not sure if he used an E-mu Emulator II, but that would have looked awesome in the mix too.

I don't suppose Channel 4 kept the tapes of 'The Tube', (if they were videotaped, as they went out live back in period). Always a great watch to get you in the mood while you got ready for a Friday night out 'Down Town'. Such a shame if they did...and didn't. Thanks for the upload though👍. Loved the Golden Age of Wireless LP and still do. Didn't know it was Roland kit that he used. I always thought it was a Fairlight for some reason.🙂

Even if CH4 do not have tapes, then they exist in the hands of collectors. Just last year 2021, a private collector uploaded every episode of the tube in full to KZread, CH4 blocked them all.

Billy joel?😅

In perhaps the dumbest move ever, Dolby Laboratories sued him in order to stop him from giving them an enormous amount of incomparable free publicity and then lost the lengthy court battle.
