"Apocalyptic Pop". Perfect.

[@NisseOhlsen]

yes. look up their live preformances of this here on YT and you'll see that they were even better at 100% live... anyway, you might want to consider yourself lucky to have watched this...

[@ludoviclobjois5190]

Was a great rock band!!

[@keefowen]

You will never get a much better front man than Holly Johnson, great fella, respect.

[@3storiesUp]

I'd respect it more if he was singing it live fella.

Loved their music sadly never saw the live but I bet they were awesome.

[@matthewridgway8374]

Caught them in Frankfurt and yes they actually were a fantastic live band and I saw some of that era’s greats.

[@beatz04]

That was pretty epic for a full playback gig.

[@HarryDeano]

soundtrack of my life 1984-86 superb!

[@seanart1508]

Mine too!

[@gerszahl]

I love that they have a guy just dancing aroung really doing nothing. But having fun! :D

[@Hammster69official]

I remember this, and it was awesome! There was controversy at the time, because up to that point, Montreux had been a ***live*** music extravaganza (I have the DVD of Mike Oldfield's 1979 concert, and it's also awesome)., but that year, they went to playback for purposes of TV - specifically MTV. One could only imagine the "anti-yankee-TV" sentiment felt there, until Frankie expressed it by smashing their s*** before the tape ended. :-D

[@TiefTonMusik]

Thats not the reason they did it though. They wanted to top the performance of the other acts. It’s music, afterall, and not a politics meeting😉

[@ceebee491]

I thought it was that one! I used to watch it on repeat (vhs)!

[@Hammster69official]

@@TiefTonMusik Who ever said anything about politics? I interpreted it as being all about the integrity of playing live.

[@Kohntarkosz]

Actually, they were doing playback at least as early as 84, which was the year Queen appeared, and they're very obviously lip synching.

[@thommyh.4492]

Schade dass ich bei dieser sauguten Premiere nicht dabei sein konnte.

[@NisseOhlsen]

Yes Sir. It was another classic rock art song!

[@DRAINPIPE57]

WHAT AN ARTIST HOLLY JOHNSON WAS AND STILL IS AS PERFORMING TO HIS GREAT STANDARDS WHEN HE PERFORM HIS BEST HITS FROM HIS FRANKIE AND SOLO DAYS AT THE 80S REWIND FESTIVAL IN HENLEY ON THAMES UK OVER THE PAST WEEKEND .THAT NOW IS BEING COMPLIMENTED WITH HIS NEW ALBUM OF REMIXES OF ALBUM TRACKS OLD & NEW SOULSTREAM OUT SEPT 26TH

Oh my days. PERFECT

[@TheNosferatu666]

Love the "Liverpool" Album

[@GENerationXplorers]

Absolutely fuc*&ing love this

[@philippemartinez9095]

At first it's live but from 1'31", we switch to semi playback with just the voice of the singer live then full playback from 1'49". I know these songs by heart and from 1'49", there is no difference with the studio version, something impossible to do in public. During Wariiors of the wasteland, Holly sings a little live at certain times.

[@edwardhitten2678]

Too bad it's blay back but this entire album is a masterpiece.

[@jakestevens3788]

What the hell is blay back?????

LOL, you and me both, mate!

Stratocaster and a lot the foot pedals like Tom box pigtronix philosophers pedal all kinds of cool toys

[@NOWtheband]

On the studio recordings, which these were, it was Andy Richards, Peter-John Vettese and/or Stephen Lipson.

[@johnsilver6769]

This is studio record. What they actually played remian unknown

[@80iesDude45]

Great songs, too bad the whole gig was playback at all.. see Holly Johnson lip synching all the time...

[@khananme]

When Freddie Mercury/Queen played Montreaux, they were made to lip sync also.

[@mannycalavera1998]

Ahh the 80'th when everything was playback and just an act.

[@ZXFrankie]

So, nothing have changed, except music gone worse 😂

[@michelarnet8535]

Not sure that's live... Seems like a playback.

[@hooh5479]

It was complete playback indeed and as a band they did not quite like the fact that it was imposed. That is why they deliberately show it is a fake gig and are going wild at the end destroying their instruments and setup to show that they were useless for this theatrics.

[@johnedwards6280]

[@quazar912]

where are keyboard sounds?

[@pip4457]

They were miming to the tracks. No need for a session keyboard player - especially since they wanted to show their disgust at having to mime in what had hitherto been a live show, by trashing their gear before the tape finished. Classic Frankie attitude and, as miming goes, you won’t find a better front man than Holly Johnson.

[@TiefTonMusik]

Trashing the gear before out of disgust of having to mime, is not the reason they did it. It was decided between them after seeing the other acts and they thought, :“How can we top them?“. Thats the reason why. Not the Miming. A fun fact might be that, the Bass Mark shredded was a Levinson Bass that he was asked to use by Gary Levinson backstage just before the show. And when they got off, Levinson shouted at Mark : „You f#%king A-hole, thats a $1500 Bass, I‘ll sue you, you Motherf#% ker“. Read Brian Nashs Book, thats where I got the story from. It’s a cool book to read and the reason I just watched this to see what went down.

[@largecarr6185]

Fender Stratocaster he's got all kinds of foot pedals and toys make it sound like anything and everything

[@NOWtheband]

Within the music.

[@johnsilver6769]

This is studio record don't you hear?

[@darrenmwinter]

Great songs, but literally the worst miming ever. I mean, this is worse than Valentina off season 9 of Drag Race.

[@NisseOhlsen]

they were too honest to mime.

[@CatastrophicG]

They hated it in the end, it was ridiculous, they're good enough to play live every time all the time..

Mimetreux Pop Festival. It´s a shame how they castrated all the good bands by their rules of engagement.

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

Lip synced

[@eddygordov]

Another blatant example of lip synching.

[@pip4457]

They wanted to play live - so when they were told they would have to mime, that’s when they planned to smash up their gear before the tape finished.
