Howard Jones - Equality

[@GalacticWrestlingFederation]

Damn, so it's the 20th anniversary of the 20th anniversary. All these tracks still hold up fabulously

[@teresapannells774]

I've loved your music since I was 14 back in 1984. You still freaking rock.

[@oldskoolheavweigjts1568]

teresa pannells I agree totally. I was 14 too then. Memories of the 80’s still consume me.

[@deniscarteron1430]

Si do 😉, 14 in 1984. Howard Jones, great

[@ingenious4t]

Breathtaking synth work from Howard. Gotta love that Jupiter 8 along with the stunning appearance of the great Jed Holie the original mime/dancer from 'New Song'.

[@lauratanner9704]

This is great song to dance to! I auditioned for a dance team to this song in 1987!

[@bitley]

Lots of vintage instruments are used here: 2 x Moog Prodigy synths, 1 x Roland Juno 60, a Roland Jupiter 8, a Roland TR-808 and more stuff. None of this equipment is being manufactured today. It's all from 1980-82 basically. This was HJ's "startup" set of synths, forming a lot of his sound.

[@Henrik_Mikkelsen]

and they cost a fortune today :-) much much more than they did about 40 years ago..... incredible

[@bitley]

@@Henrik_Mikkelsen About the same actually

[@mattevans7884]

@@bitley JP8 was about 5K new......now you're lucky to find one for less than 12

[@GrotrianSeiler]

LOVE THIS still. Wow, listen to this sound. HJ, what a master.

[@DorsetWatersports]

The Nag's Head was where we first met Howard. I was the guy with the Red Leather jacket in his photo albums

[@tshirtjay]

The king of the synth......PERIOD!!!

[@nickhaswell6011]

Agreeeeeed

[@dermotpearson8863]

I agree Teresa Pennells. I’m the same age, growing up to Howard Jones music was an amazing time

[@smiffy1071]

I missed this the first time around in '83, but I wish I hadn't, it's brillient!

[@yokichi40]

His voice is still fantastic:)

[@pennboy12]

Brilliant stuff! Cant wait for the 25th anniversary gig!!

[@moogdome2562]

Great to see the Jupiter 8 back in use. saw you in Sheffield some years ago. What a great gig, but The Roland phantoms. prepare vintage, but of course not always reliable. well done.

[@raymondo7102]

top class howard jones music seen numerous times including kiel gremany in 2000 brilliant

[@Bikerboythousand]

I remember this concert like it was yesterday.... and the 25th at the o2 and the 30th. Roll on 35th. Still got my JP8. Its wonderful! Keep going howard. Sept 83 was a big point for me.

[@ohh338]

I can't wait to see him.. I have been wanting to do this for many years!!!

[@Knyte77]

Song is ahead of its time. But also....timeless.

[@nickhaswell6011]

Absolute fire 😜👌

[@debbieedeedoo]

Not only did I see him in August,I see him last night @ O2 Greenwich xxxx

[@debbieedeedoo]

Excellent stuff, Im going to be seeing him Sunday @ The 80s REWIND FESTIVAL Henley :-)

[@WiesenBerg69]

Just great!❤️

[@BazWhite]

It was in the IndigO2. I was there ... What a night

[@stevechan]

He's the best, no question.

[@sleevegarnish5078]

but the longing is still the same ..... ;) JHJ we love you ! ♥️🕯

[@davidemuolo4062]

fantastic

[@望月加代子-i1m]

It's very nice gig enjoy kayoko

[@bondbug73]

Very clever musician is Howard. The best synth, drum machine, singer busker.

[@SlowBloke123]

I just cant get close to the pad sound on VSTs from Arturia or Roland Cloud. My old Juno 60 was gold for that - just like this vid :)

[@vicebrentversa82]

I love how he is using the original equipment. TR 808, Pro One, Jupiter 8, Juno 60, Two Prodigy's!!

[@LeShark75]

Amazing.

[@nachincolor6133]

Un estilo único y. Original. '80

[@albertogarcia8333]

❤❤❤❤so cute music😄

[@ClicheMusic1]

I loved this song from the first listen and learnt to play it from Howard's appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test. It took me hours, days and weeks to get the lead Jupiter 8 lead synth part right. I even tried to do the song justice with a cover version of my own whilst holidaying with my Son in Miami. It's still my favourite song ever even some 41 years later. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXiYq6Ofpq2CZqM&start_radio=1

[@SuicidleLemming]

Now THIS is a live performance.

[@tinahorrocks7679]

Your dancer is bloody awesome

[@lapasteque868]

Great performance !!!!! In JP 8 we trust !!!

[@adzdepadz5537]

so cool

[@patriziopolcri995]

That lovely Jupiter 8 at 2.00... 😉

[@soundmanhaven1]

mmm miss this at the time :( he shoud do another retro tour with his orignal syths

[@roonney]

Fab! Fab! Fab!

[@Check-it-out]

Why isn't the rest of the 'vintage section' online ? It's awesome ! MUCH better than the new stuff... Analog rulez by an infinite margin.

[@philippegeronimo0815]

Everybody wants to feel happy, even if you think that you don't Everyone wants to know the secret, even if you think that you don't Everybody thinks they're different from the next man now But we just got to realize we're just the same Always appear to be someone better You know there will always appear to be someone worse You know there'll always appear to be someone better You know there'll always appear to be someone worse, oh Everyone has got their character Everyone has got their personality But the longing is still the same So what is the answer by easy on yourself Make yourself feel at ease maybe that's the answer Always appear to be someone better You know there will always appear to be someone worse Always appear to be someone better You know there'll always appear to be someone worse, oh We're just the same don't you know We're just the same don't you know Looking over there He looks different, she looks different They might even be different But we're just the same, don't you know We're just the same, don't you know We're just the same

[@MyCosmoTube]

great groove...:-)

[@atom-san]

I'm surprised Howard collaborates with Jed again!

[@thomasconway631]

.....and then came the Welshman !!!

[@xvintervila]

HoJo released this song as an ep in South Africa in the 80's - he should release it in Israel today!

[@abrokenframe82]

If he is the king of synth.......PERIOD!!! I just hope he changes his draws!!!! Seriously though Howard is a legend.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Looks like an SCI Pro One as well

[@JMDAmigaMusic]

What was the drum machine in the original?

[@jackazlan2584]

20th anniversary concert in 2003, did anyone know whether Howard still keep the synthesizer instrument I supposed was used back in his 80's time as we can see in the video or its manufactured just for him, instrument company don't make that anymore, Im not knowledgeable person.

[@zibbybone]

All of the equipment he used on this song/performance has been out of production since the early 80s. HoJo still kept his Roland Jupiter 8 (lead sound), Juno 60 (string sounds) and one of the Moog Prodigy synths (bass). In an interview I saw shortly after this concert, he explained that he repurchased (used) Roland TR-808 (drums) and the Sequential Circuits ProOne (synth playing the steady 8th notes throughout the song). Many of these instruments' sounds are now available in digital emulations (either software or hardware), but nothing beats the sound of the original instruments.

[@jacobramirez7110]

That song reminds me of Billy Idol.

[@soundmanhaven1]

wow just realise that riff he plays is awesome could billy currie play that lol

[@allan330]

go Jed

[@Deepscore]

How lush is the bit from 4:40?

[@culloax]

God

[@StephEWaterstram]

WTF HOJO! What does this concert cost? and Why the Hell did You make MY concert sound like Folk in 1999?

[@davieboy1971]

Jed Hoyle @gman.. hes the dancer ye see in this vid

[@warren218]

So Jed lives....

[@Arachnosoft]

Wrong note @ 01:05 :p Even the best make mistakes :)

[@MrMusicman488]

Every band needs an Interpretive dancer.

[@maccagrabme]

@cprostudio I disagree, its just fun.

[@Fensta]

is that the original Ged ? looks like he got a lil chubbier........

[@nickguitarmonkeyphillips1817]

Very brave of Howard to be using those vintage synths, as they are very unreliable, sounded great
