It was nice to see Nash the Slash with Numan

[@brentonl]

Stunning intro

[@marioandtyler]

There are so many cool songs from Dance that I wish he would play live. I mean, just listen to this! It looks like the audience really enjoyed it!

[@SuperLisalis]

We did, We did.

Strange comment. 'Cause it sounds to me like they're not loving it at all - they're impatient for Gawwwyyy! to return to the stage and play something else that they know. I suspect he terminated it prematurely on all three nights because of the hostile audience reaction (not because he hadn't written the spoken verses, which he undoubtedly had - interview evidence is that "the Debbie incident" had already come and gone). I daresay Gary deliberately provoked his audience by throwing this ambient, slightly dissonant, Eno-esque piece into the last act of the show, killing the momentum built up by that sequence of uptempo Telekon-era songs and chilling the atmosphere. But come the time of the actual concerts, he wasn't prepared for the actual effect it had.

@@trashandcheese3636 Crowd shout performers name during slow song. Crowd clap along. You conclude they don’t like the song. People who were actually there say otherwise. Stop writing shit mate.

[@davidspion9548]

​@@trashandcheese3636 I was there, and the audience loved it. It's a stunning piece of music. Absolutely beautiful.

[@headron66]

I was there, 16 years old, devastated but.. I’m off to see Gary in Glasgow for his pleasure principle and replicas album tour, still rocking!

[@numanoidforlifeandbeyond572]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. THANK YOU.

[@jake-fj2zi]

I love this song. I'm glad to see no negative comments

[@ThomGeigenschrey]

Why does the video comment(ator) not mention the fabulous collegue and influential Violin Electro Mate NASH THE SLASH Gary Numan extra invited and teamed up several times and also here? Cause he is one of Gary Numans great heroes and mine too..Can u change this please.. ? Respect to Nash ..(James Jeffery Plewman) R.I.P. ...

[@rooman66]

[@Southwestluvver]

This track is beyond explanation to me.............xx Its part of me

[@mariabaverstock1765]

Just beautiful

[@ThomGeigenschrey]

Here you also see the violinist Nash the Slash ( with Hat and ElektrickViolin) contributin a comebackshow of 8os electro icon GARY NUMAN. NUMAN THESE DAYS IS BETTER THAN EVER.And years ago HE TEAMED UP WITH his COOL secret inner hero MINDBROTHER: THE CANADIAN GARAGEROCK E-VIOLIN GENIUS >NASH THE SLASH< (R.i.P.), whom i like very much and could have organized a concert with in the 80s in germany/berlin. But the costs to invite somebody from canada are immense and i was an absolute beginner in the 80s, didnt have that big experience, except at least for a good start having setup the first ever SONIC YOUTH concert in Berlin Sputnik Kino (in former days in the North of berlin, the deadmans curve district Wedding; deadmasn curve also is a little electrotrash hit by Nash the Slash, who in response to Queen who never used Synthesizers on their records, never used/played the overrated instrument with the name > ELEKTRICGuitars, only VIOLINS or synths or unconventional string instruments like electrical mandolins....like me). The cinema nowadays is organized/continued by the brave enthusiastic Andrea Stosiek​. MusicBiz always is tough and the money and support to not wellknown acts is not well enuff, too monocultural and ignorant to unconventional acts which are not megafamous and so i didnt find enuff interested supporters and sponsors. SO SAD. I still have the promo sheets and letters and stickers and fotos, he did send to me from canada...Some years ago Nash died much too early like many other of my heroes..Before he often teamed up with comeback 80s ELECTROpoptrash Hero Gary Numan who was rediscovered by his fans and followers like Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor and was like me fascinated by NASHs Poptrash Art and masquerade: Nash was never showing his real face, hiding behind a mask like we all do nowadays. His Artist Cameo was dressing up totally masked and bandaged like the legendary fantasystory/horrorfilm figure THE INVISIBLE MAN. Gary Numan had his comeback - he now does Stoner/Garagerock with electronics like Ministry or N:I:N. his fans,always did. Or like his secret rolemodel Nash the Slash, he often admitted that Nash has inspired him and so, loyally Gary teamed up with him in the 90s and beginning 2000s.. Numan is in a certain way famous again today, he even sells out smaller venues in germany sometimes. Nash was only famous locally,they should name a street after him in Torionto or where he lived.. He did selected multimedial LiveEvents like me with my violinprojects,for example(also like me) Livesoundtracks to surreal silent movies like UN CHIEN ANDALOUSE by Bunuel or METROPOLIS. He mainly played and stayed in Canada and USA. A certain time we kept contact, over my space and mail, he always stayed in touch, also to to his fans thru a funny online diary, which he pretended was written by his critical Dog named Digger...Rest in Peace mindbrother.. Besides being a specialist for cool obscure interesting underground art & music like Blaine L. Reininger​s violin driven collegues Tuxedomoon violin and culture extravagantia man tNash The Slash also was big Prokofjev fan , he did a electro garage hit called WOLF, He also was CovermutatTTing HIS FAVORITE mindbrothers and heroes, means, he, like me since today, transmutated covermutated chosen Popart by mindbros like THE WHO (Baba o Riley) Beatles, Stones (19th nervous breakdown) or KING CRIMSON (Starless with his former sideproject band FM; or 21st Century man by KC) into his surreal Violin Underground universe. His Music & Live Gigs are documented in KZbin search for it its worth the thing ! When we spoke the last time he also was really pissed doff, very disapointed by the rip-off download for free mentality of Spotify & Co and KZbin , cause they didnt give the adequate share to the artists..Support your local and international artists!! Respect to Nash the Slash..(aka James Jeffery Plewman) R.I.P. ...

love time.

[@thomaschesterfield9459]

Most people don't know the famous Canadian in gauze. Nash the Slash just as iconic as Gary Newman. And a big part of a big Canadian trio called FM. Listen to the iconic album Black Noise by FM.

Jesus I'm the first comment. The older I get the more this song means to me and improves it greatness x

[@DB-np2vg]

I sincerely hope that you are still in good health and enjoying even more music.

[@leealexander1]

@@DB-np2vg I am in good health and thank you for asking. I wish all the best. Saw Gary in Birmingham and Manchester 3 months ago. Still listening and still loving. God bless xx

Wish you and your family and friends all the best.

Hate to say but you can't hear the violin. The first few minutes are from the album version recordin with drum machine. Nash was top of the game at the time so not sure why they cut it.

[@SuperLisalis]

Nash was/Is absolutely brilliant, as was /is Gary. Half this track seems to be awol though.

[@prokesuk]

Did anyone actually play on this? It sounds exactly like the album.

[@aw3752]

prokesuk You are correct. It is the exact recording from the album. There’s no way to replicate that ambient violin and sound so precisely. While Cry The Clock Said is one of my all time favorite Numan songs, I’m not sure a live concert is the right setting for it. It’s a quiet, introspective song. The cheering and whistling just detracts from its meaningful stillness and emotion. I think the TeleTour audience was a bit confused as this was from the forthcoming album “Dance” and I don’t think it had been released yet. If it had not yet been released, it’s interesting that Numan had already written and recorded Cry The Clock Said while doing the TeleTour. I wonder how much of Dance was written on the road while touring and when he had time to record Dance.

[@Sportddom99]

Opportunity lost for a really different version of a great song. Only difference from DANCE is that it just ends 4 minutes too early. Still: when the crowd handclaps enter, it's a great moment.

[@thomasbewlay]

@@aw3752 It's not a "recording". I had reproduced the same sounds on the album using a Linn Drum machine and a couple of Rolands (I remember one was the 808). It took time but I was able to get close using filters and flanging it through a Delta Echo. The EQ on the live version is slightly different as well to make sure it had good throw through the venue. I have been to the same arena for Bowie in 2002 or so and it is a challenging venue for a sound engineer. All the keyboard sounds were variations saved on presets and, again, if you listen, they arse altered slightly (some, like the "bell" were standard presets, some created by GN).

[@martinwood744]

A strangely curtailed version. Did it really end like that? I guess so.

[@davidspion9548]

Yes, it was a shorter version than the one released on the Dance album. I suspect it was shortened because it was new, unknown to the audience at that point and more of a taster of what was to come.
