   Very cool. I always liked this song better than Dreamweaver (which may be just because that’s so overplayed); this is the era in which I came first came of age musically. I especially like seeing a performance where the synths aren’t all synced up and running to DAT or something. This doesn’t looked mimed, right? As near as I can tell from the video there all locked into that mighty groove. Plus cowbell!

   At first, I thought this was one of those 70’s lip sync videos, but – after watching it through – it looks like it’s just a tight performance, with a lot of keyboardists.

   Huh, Nice. I wonder why this track popped up here? (other than the obvious)

   A lot of these vintage performances I was too young to appreciate, but now I see them and understand that the 70’s synth performers really changed the music industry.

   It’s worth revisiting these now and then and seeing what they did, without presets or sequencers.
