Anyone here just for the bassline? Mark O'Toole is a monster.

[@vrlord7949]

More space for the bass!🎸

[@tommystravels64]

100% agree mate!!!

[@SwisstedChef2018]

INDEED, this guy is prime

[@alexanderfrantz5299]

I could listen to the bassline alone all day 🤘

[@MrMarco33333]

It's the tone as well. First thing I noticed. Looks like a Precision through a Trace Elliot. It's the sort of tone that makes you wonder why you'd ever use anything else but a Precision. Sadly mine doesn't sound like this but my 70s one came close.

[@darklordlc]

That baseline is pure fire.

@@anthonyglaser929 FGTH producer Trevor Horn replaced Jon Anderson in Yes for one album and tour.

[@Fractalfriend]

@@cletusbeauregard1972 And they toured together during the Drama album days in 1980. Saw them at NYC's MSG. Trevor struggled a bit with some of the high notes on the classic YES songs, but all in all, it was a great, memorable show. Especially since Steve played Les Paul during most of the show if my memory is correct. He later said it was an unsatisfying guitar for the tour.

It‘s amazing that that song can be played live with that level of quality. One of the best album productions ever. Not to mention the 12 inch versions…

[@172Break]

@@JamesSmith-qs4hx Nah - music is my religion. Stephen Lipson’s engineering and guitar playing with J. J. Jeczalik’s Fairlight and synth programming were a huge part of Trevor’s success in this era. There’s a good interview with Stephen on the Produce Like a Pro channel on KZbin where he goes through the stems for Relax and shows how the track was made.

[@ithomson100]

Ryan Molloy absolutely killed this set, well done! 👍🏼 especially since he only had a couple of weeks to learn all the songs when Holly Johnson sadly pulled out 😢 Salute to the whole band for pulling off an amazing set with such professionalism and brilliance in what is nearly a 20 year old concert. Mark O’Toole, your base guitar gives me shivers and goosebumps!

[@richardcamp8301]

I believe he was the last to audition and already knew the tracks. I actually think he's better than Holly.

[@colinmitchell6872]

​@@richardcamp8301yeah and Adam Lambert is better than Freddie Mercury 😂😂😂

[@Gavrani77]

​@@colinmitchell6872 with due respect, Holly never was a great live performer and never had such a fantastic performance, and FGTH never sounded good in the 80s as did that night. Fact.

​@@Gavrani77There's numerous videos of Holly Johnson performing live that proves you wrong.

[@lisahentschell4741]

Ryan Molloy killed this. He did an amazing job. Actually, all the musicians involved were stellar.

Standing Ovation is more than appropriate here. WOW. Mark O'Tool , man you are the man

I can't believe the album will be 40 this year. Bought it on CD right when when it was released.

[@JamesMossR33]

I can't either, 40 years! I still have the vinyl double album, well it's actually my sister's...but she's never getting it back!

[@thetempleofsound]

Correct me if I'm wrong but CD's didn't exist commercially when this album was released as far as I know. I was there in line to buy the vinal and get it signed by the boys when it came out after the smash of Relax and War. And I bought what was one of the first commercial CDs of some classical music and then the amazing Brothers In Arms a few years later.

[@MrCrrispy]

@@thetempleofsound of course they did exist, started around 1 year before this release, I bought it almost at the same time when Propaganda's LP/CD was released, among my first ones, indeed

[@thomasfrohlich9208]

@@MrCrrispy Yes I stand corrected, I guess I was too young to realize it. The CDs I was thinking were first were the first DDD made for CD digital recordings...

I have just acquired an original copy of Welcome to the Pleasuredome on CD and its absolutely floored me. What a great album, makes me realise how even though I have heard FGTH songs on the radio I have never actually listened to them properly. It's great to be discovering all this great music from the ZTT archive. Plus Trevor is a top bloke with a great sense of humour, between him and Stephen Lipson it's no wonder they were behind so many great songs.

Major thanks are in order for Ryan Molley for saving the day fronting FGTH here. He was perfect and powerful! That said, now that Frankie recently reunited for their performance with Holly Johnson and since Trevor just uploaded this monster clip, I've Got a brilliant idea if everyone would be on board. Get the entire band as well as all the musicians who played on the original WELCOME album including Anne Dudley, the engineer and producer Trevor Horn and reconvene FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD for another double album and title it WELCOME BACK TO THE PLEASUREDOME. A no brainer masterpiece that would continue the FGTH mystique and legacy.
