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.

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

this takes me back to having to fight real hard to stay awake to actually watch Kirshner (it came on after Sat Nite Live)…

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.

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!
