Perfection 💯

This one goes out to all the Xanax mommies in Long island N.y. I'm looking at you Merrick

I Just Love This Doras Voice

What a GREAT series. Steve Levine is such a great guy an a great producer. Thank you. I definiitley need to hear the others in this series.

STRAWBERRY STUDIOS I remember it Well Some of the Consol wasn't Complete !

This is so cool. I keep relistening to Eric's deleted vocal at 8 minutes. Big mistake to pull that. Beautiful, spiritual. The ladies would've all been in tears. (sure doesn't hurt having one of the finest voices in rock singing it)

is a masterpiece

I love classic style

it's crazy how influential townshend is, if there's anything in rock pete townshend probably did it first and still doesn't get credit for it.

I’m watching this on repeat in 2024. I have always loved this song but wow

When recording engineers ruled the world ❤

The man is a legend

1:50 - McLaren never wrote even one word of Sex Pistols lyrics.

Faces and early Stewart solo stuff are legend. Great band- perfect for a 500 seat venue.

I thought it was a Roland SH3A WTF ????

This is one of the BEST music album docos out there on KZbin. A must watch for any music lover or curious cat!! It dives into the complex and delicate techniques and methods used in producing a song back the golden adays of musical talent.... Sadly long long gone these days.

I'm surprised they didn't mod a mellotron and record the vocals on that.

what reverb was used?

I was 21 in 1975..they were way ahead with there music. (Like the beatles were) 10cc never made a bad record EVER!!! Loved there music 🎶

Best ballad ever made🤩

these guys are good. have they been on ophra winfreed?

I feel the same way towards Jeff that he felt about the Beatles. The only difference is he got to meet his idols. I'll never meet mine.

As good today as ever it was. And that's GREAT!! 😊😊😊

An ethereal, otherworldly masterpiece.

Only Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys comes close to this masterpiece of musical genius .

GEM

Does anyone know what the bottom synthesizer or keyboard sound he is using?

As a huge Pete Townshend and the Who fan I love listening to his interviews. His outlook in life and the role of music has molded him into a truly unique category of a musician. The man is a musical genius. Long Live Rock!

For me it's been the first cyberpunk tune... Not Tangerines, not Vangelis, not Jean Michel, not Ash Ra's...

I can't decide whether I prefer the vocal version or this version. I listen to one and think I prefer that, then listen to the other and think I prefer that. The vocal version is kind of heartbreaking, but the guitars when it switches to the hook sound so good!

An absolute masterpiece and my personal favorite all time love song

Pete Townsend is a global treasure ❤

The space invaders jumper though! 🤩

Magic .I heared this on the Tube TV show in the 1980's

Wow!

My guess... 1234 voice count is Keith, since the guitar lead starts right after... love the intro guitar lead and voice count... The Stones should had put this intro on the album!!!!

its just brilliant to have it deconstructed and then assembled into this polished masterpiece.

Considering the amount of time it takes to create a song and the advanced skills of the Ultravox members who create it with such precision, I feel the weight of each song and it deserves respect.

What dialect is Midge Ure speaking here?

Vile man,

What is that live footage taken from?? The sound is impeccable

The best group for me, their songs continue to move me, I dance to them, I sing to them, they are part of my life!

Such a fascinating person. I immediately moved to his solo work when the Who stop making albums. All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes was my first purchase. I know every song, word, tune by heart of that album….incredible album. Naturally I bought Empty Glass straight way. Then White City, Iron Man….all great albums. My fav woukd have to be Deep End.

So true (me at 61)

I always thought that "mistake" was brillianyly perverse, and really added to the character of the song...Debbie was just plain astounding in every way, and Clem will always be my favorite drummer. What a band!!!

This is interesting because they are very positive about the machines synthesisers that they used to craft the songs, it’s not just what he (Midge Ure) and the other band members of Ultravox are saying but how they speak, the tone contains positive vibe. That is heard in the music, a type of passion and zeal for making their music songs.

One of these days I'm going to come across a vintage NYC vid and actually see myself or my brothers. We certainly been in the streets more than we been in our homes!

I always wondered how they created these digital sounding vocals long before digital sampling was created. At the time, this went completely unnoticed. We took this genius composition completely for granted. We saw it as just another pop music radio hit. It's only now after we see how it stood the test of time do we realize what a gift this level of talent was/is to the world.

a 1000 years later & we're still discovering new/old ROLLING STONES classics in the form of instrumentals, I could go on but I'm getting a little tipsy here, so I'll call it a night, 2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME is the best/ultimate song (we'll PLANET CLAIRE to) of all tyme & I'm a Metal~Head. Take care everyone & thanks for listening ✌️to all SPACE RANGER JYM 🚀

They turned the studio into an instrument - a sample-synthesizer!
