Frankie Goes To Hollywood - War, Two Tribes Live The Tube 29.06.84

[@Neo2906]

On this day, it was my 13th birthday. I miss this time so so much !!!!! The 80s were the best time of my life....and there will be no better time, EVER !!!!!

[@moxy666]

base player super under appreciated for how he beings the together

[@drithligh]

*bass

[@jakobole]

Trevor Horn,, the producer, played it on the record.

[@Stakker]

@SynthMusicFan 501 On Relax, they were replaced by synths, but from Two Tribes onward he brought them back in. Mark O'Toole is a sound Bass player. Really.

[@stephencampbell9384]

On the recording it's a Fairlight sequence. However, if you check out the demo, pre-ZTT version, O'Toole's original Bassline sounds like Les Claypool and Peter Hook had a love child, there's mad high melodic playing, slap, nail rakes, the lot.

[@stephencampbell9384]

@SynthMusicFan 501 you may be right for the 7" single actually and maybe Carnage, other versions, eg. Annihilation, the main pattern is 100% sample.....albeit it's a sample of Mark rather than the factory slap sample which sounds like ass :D

[@alfieconn2692]

The real star of the show, Steve Lipson, playing guitar at the side.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

They were SO exciting and much needed for 1984. So dynamic!

[@kevinbailey3384]

Great to see a real live performance

[@deborahscott6005]

Always love Holly's vocals adding to such an amazing band. So, so wish I got to see them live.

[@alandoolan337]

greatful to say my popped cherry first gig, 1985. What an intro to live muic. Never beat that first time feeling :-)

[@malcolmclarke3033]

Had forgotten how good they were live, Holly's vocals brilliant, then and now.

[@colinmackenzie6277]

BRUV ....BEST BAND OF THE 80s & 90s ....much more than a Rugby League theme

[@richardhedderly]

Trevor Horn (Producer / Buggles) on the left and Luis Jardim on the right. Both on percussion.

[@DenkyManner]

It's tragic there weren't 4 or 5 amazing fgth albums. But at least there's 1. Maybe 1 and a half. Johnson is an undeniable star and amazing singer yet it all collapsed, for whatever reason.

[@garypayne4284]

Well 2 albums, Welcome to the Pleasure Dome and Liverpool, then a load of remix and Greatest hits albums.

[@BaljitSingh-hm9gq]

Fantastic

[@colinmackenzie6277]

ROBBIE COLTRANE FIRING UP HIS CHAINSAW!!! 😂😅😊

[@phil84220]

TravisBickle1963, I am from 1964, you are from 1963 we have lived same 80's unforgetable

[@peggyarnold4333]

It's great to see that Holly is NOT lipsynching!

[@yusufkhan-ig7dv]

In this show, "The Tube", I think most artists played, or at least sung live.

[@corradottmk1]

Holly got a Amazing voice,see them playing live also in other clips,they were a huge band live

[@jeannefrau1707]

Quelle chance davoir 14 ans a l'époque ❤

[@ozahmed4523]

Thank you thank you!

[@adamfowler3916]

Live on The Tube on my 13th Birthday!

[@barryhainsworth2498]

The video, the 12" vinyl remixes - I was addicted to everything FGTH - I also loved Edwin Starr so War was just a bonus!

[@MatthewNorthArchive]

War (Hidden) is the best 12 inch single ever. Bar None.

[@dishwashingdj]

Thanks for sharing - hadn't seen this before, great piece!

[@MatthewNorthArchive]

4:17 I've watched this loads. never noticed until tonight JJ Jeczalik there too

[@garethhughes6739]

All the musos who played on the studio version are there - JJ, Andy Richards, Steve Lipson.

[@OlafProt]

Imagine having a picture of Lenin on stage now. 😂 the internet trolls and right-eous brigade would wet their little pull up pants 🩲 Two Tribes is such a powerful song.

[@jdt831]

God forbid anyone be opposed to a political philosophy that was responsible for more than 3 times the amount of death that Hitler pushed upon us, and the leaders who made it happen.

[@johnmoss1199]

Brilliant and brilliant memories, merci

[@karenyates5805]

Unreal ❤

[@corradottmk1]

Absolutely top live what a basso and guitar

[@barbaraluczakswirska381]

[@bangerbangerbro]

@sam maudlin That's what it still sounds like to me. Means about the same thing. Though I also thought "we got the bomb" was "we got the vote".

[@ANONYMOUS-xd3eu]

Biscuits now ?? Lol 😂

[@rayhoughton8046]

We got the funk dickhead

[@halenbud]

Ah! The Best Of Times.

[@davidgeorge1294]

Peter O'Toole is the Bass God!

5:19 Luis Jardim (percussion) looks like Dr.Death Steve Williams in this one😆

[@janeserafim3107]

Love boy beoutiful

[@HypnogicianUK]

COME ON BARNARD!! ❤💚💙🙏

[@stephencampbell9384]

Check out that band. The 5 Frankies, Steve Lipson, Johnny (JJ) Jeczalik, I assume that's Peter Oxendale rather than Trev Horn in the moon glasses, and I feel I should know the percussionist. I'd imagine every single part on this is hand played.....when the toured, Oxendale ran some sequenced stuff....hence Ped wearing cans for the clicktrack.

[@richardhedderly]

Luis Jardim, percussion on the right.

[@progmeup]

@@richardhedderly Currently on tour with Marillion, in case anyone is interested.

[@richardhedderly]

As noted on the ZTTAAT webpage. ' Frankie’s on-tour keyboard player Peter Oxendale comes across and compares his silly glasses with Horn’s trademark specs. “I’ve signed twenty Art Of Noise albums since I’ve been here, Trev. Everyone thinks I’m you.” Horn is aghast. “You’re joking, I can’t even play the keyboards.” '

[@slacknote]

No that's Trev, Andy Richard on keyboards.

[@JAMESJACKSON-s9p]

THEY ALL LOOK ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED AS I THINK THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME THE COUNTRY GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE. I REMEMBER THE BUZZ GOIN' 'ROUND OUR SCHOOL ON THE FRIDAY BECAUSE THEY WERE GONNA BE ON IT PLAYING LIVE. GOOD MEMORIES OF THIS TIME.

[@RolandTheArtist]

#Nice

[@MatthewNorthArchive]

This was so exciting to see on TV when I was 11. Amazing then still amazing now. Trevor Horn on backing Vocals, anyone know who the bearded percussionist is, or the keyboard player on the left?

[@TiefTonMusik]

I guess it was Peter Oxendale on Keyboard, since he was the one who went on Tour with them at that time. Not sure if youre seeing Trevor Horn here backing the Vocals though as nothing like that is ever mentioned in Nashers book.

[@TravisBickle1963]

@@TiefTonMusik Looks like Trevor Horn at the back on the left hand side?

[@TiefTonMusik]

It does look like him, I’ve got to admit that and that’s why I said „not sure...“. What made me think otherwise was just that I read that Trevor Horn didn’t even want them to tour in the first place and was sort of bashing their rehearsal on the last days or so of the rehearsal, so I thought the story could’ve ended on a kind of like „and then he does end up on stage with us afterall...“ note, know what I mean? I just wasn’t sure ´cause of that.

[@EstuaryMists]

It looks like Andy Richards on keyboards (Roland Jupiter 8, Yamaha CP Piano and PPG Waveterm by the looks of it), JJ Jeczalik on the Fairlight II at the back and I believe Luis Jardim on percussion.

[@MatthewNorthArchive]

@@TiefTonMusik I got Nasher Says Relax great book its great.

[@Stephenpocock-tv8mc]

Travis Bickle lol great movie

[@jacktowers7533]

No antiwar song other Than Maybe Fight Fire With Fire, has music that truly conveys the manic, paranoid Chaos that is war as whole but the cold war specifically, the blistering frantic pace of the drum beat and the unrelenting death march of the Bass line shows two forces methodical yet insane, marching us all to certain and total oblivion of nuclear holocaust faster than they can blink let alone think

[@nigel8499]

John Lennon Give Peace a Chance 👌

[@davidgeorge1294]

Paul Rutherford invented the crypt walk!

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

Two Tribes actually sounds better live than recorded as the same for Relax on The Tube

[@truckdriversurvival4815]

Fuck yeah

[@CorrinaMusic]

One of them is the spitting image of Freddie Highmore....

[@eiffe]

Wait, you mean Peter Gabriel was there that night?

[@kevincourtnage1466]

Good effort but like others have said it was a studio song hard to play live

[@Intaberna986]

Funny how the "lead guitar" is just mucking about while the real one is standing on the back, playing the hard stuff.

[@gideonsikk8733]

Fking unreal boy

[@ChosenHandle117]

Bass not bass. Mark Nash. Tutored well by Trevor Horn....! Very relevant songs. Was Edwin a relative of Freddie?

[@vanillacoffee]

Paul Rutherford - the original Bez.

[@geraintjones2659]

Nah, Rutherford can actually sing.

[@seandewalt2324]

Paul Rutherford is a cool Hypeman. Check out those moves at 05:50.....

[@higgy7762]

in deed, don't any other pop-band where the 'dancer' is not just a background dancer but an equal member and integral part of the overall performance.

[@richardhedderly]

@@higgy7762 Maybe not as active as Paul but Bez from the Happy Mondays was definitely an equal member of the band.

[@cordial]

Rutherford feels like a proto Bez.

[@laker8244]

Nasher couldn’t play the beginning guitar part at this point.

[@IHATEYANKS41]

My names Mark…

ok

[@williamdieffenbach3264]

Actually a live performance in Europe

[@tinaoxnam593]

I think this song war is actually better than 2 tribes.

[@martinsolomon5500]

I don’t.

[@ufotrees4379]

.....2022... Ukraine...new victim of two tribes war....who is next....

[@davidgeorge1294]

This band just flat out rocked it. They made one mistake and his name is Holly.

[@KarlHamilton]

Holly is amazing

[@martinbyrne5626]

Nah. Holly is great

[@goldenultra]

I believe he wrote the song Relax on a long walk to meet the other guys.

[@ANONYMOUS-xd3eu]

Holly broke the band up by leaving what a ponce

[@duncanwelsh464]

@@ANONYMOUS-xd3eu holly left because a band member punched him backstage. Holly WAS Frankie, it was all his vision.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Interesting, just goes to show how much production went into thier songs, they didn't stand a chance of being able to replicate it live, hence the reason why thier live performances were known for being very watered down, lukewarm almost amateurish. Trevor Horne did so much to give them a sound they could never reproduce

[@TravisBickle1963]

We all have bad days.

[@kevincourtnage1466]

It was a studio song playing it live was a challenge for them definitely

[@jeffoliver2298]

I'm not being horrible but Paul Rutherford had a minimal role in this band - dancer and occasional vocalist.

[@grahamgreen988]

Well, the rest of the band were ok with it and I thought he added something

[@sparky1964]

It worked for bez, he did even less

[@markweighell7894]

he was to Holly what Andrew Ridgeley was for George Michael

[@justinneill5003]

Perhaps they had no choice, maybe it was his amps they were using.
