it must have been strange having fans sing your words back at you whilst standing mere feet away.. - เพลง
The 70's and 80's weren't ready for Japan. Very underrated band, overshadowed by more mainstream bands of the day.
Too gorgeous for words. The music. The band. Gosh. Keyboards were essential. Great drumming. Excellent mix of musicians.
Yes
Steve Jansen had a unique way of drumming. I like his style.
Please list Mick Karn in any top 10 bassist of all time,his basslines are from another world..........THANK YOU MR KARN
He ain't in the top 10 , he has always been number 1 above number 1 , he was so amazing , gone way too soon , and what really since I heard MK perform on Bowie tribute album, Ashes to Ashes ( I'll leave the link) Simon N Bell should have given more vocal stage time to him, I swear we would have had a mix of sounds that wasnt all Polaroids and Tin Drum, Sylvian has always been my hero , but who ever saw his last solo tour ,cherish it , he has more unreleased material than The Doors apparently, so that tells me he is too fragile for studio work . But as for Bass, Mark king isn't in the same league as Mick was , for one King in 78 if he was using a Fender Squire Jazz Fret Bass would not have had MKs technique, I respect all the videos on here of great Bass players who aren't trying to copy Mick , they just play along and as good as they are find it challenging, and still are finding the riffs mick made sound so hard , Legend ....RIP , left us way too soon

@@siientsinger6637 problem is he's too original for most boring rock fans, he transcends rock. And he has transcended
@@rachelar Mick karn, what do you need help with? Who, Rock, wise are you putting his style with, Mark kings, Prince, or are you talking John P Jones Zeplin, Geezer Butler, or Someone outta Take That (T T piss thrte lol)
Percy Jones is obviously the blueprint for Micks style.
See 'Over Fire Island" and "Skysaw" (ENO)
It's good to know exactly what you're talking about
Mick Karn was spectacular on that fretless bass 🖤
David's voice is totally distinctive.
With time, Steve Jansen talent will be recognized as it should, very special drummer like Mick on bass. Really.
Mick Karn the coolest guy ever to pick up a bass
All bass players are cool :^)
@@OggyGTA ...but some are cooler than others.
Mick Karn & a WAL bass... what a pure and beautiful combination ! Mr Karn was a talented bass player, he's on my top 5 list for more than 30 years. No one will beat him creating such beautiful and incredible bass lines ! Thank you so much Mr Karn, we miss you so much.
Who?
Brilliant bassist, Gail Ann Dorsey is pretty close.. Bowie chose her 😊
How refreshing to see a camera person actually focusing on the drummer for a change!
Yes I agree I feel totally refreshed, in fact so refreshed it's as though one has bathed in a warm bath of refreshing water, refreshed is what I feel.
True. And he should, because this song is all about that great rhythm part :)
Then again... at that point in the song, there wasn't too much of a choice ;)
Japan were very talented.unique...and mr sylvians voice is simply liquid gold.
He's a brilliant drummer and a good looking one, and the song is all about the drumming!
Let Me tell you all the 80's were a great time to live in if you were into finding new music. With the introduction of the synthesizer bands were able to create sounds no one had heard on a record before and these guys were among the best, just plain different and better than anything else around at the time..happy days indeed
Wonderful to see, lifetime Japan fan, saw them live and bought one of Steve's photos at the photographers gallery. This band was at the top of the tree at the time. Other bands emulated and adored them. Every Japan fan at the time, knew they were on totp that night. Neat, I was 16.
The two most striking men - ever, on the same stage.
once upon a time, when music was magic.........
...and not like the crap the kids hear on the radio. They will never know, and come to accept THIS is actually music.
great footage, aint seen before. i had a chat with richard from japan and he shared info on their Oil on canvas live video....the close-up shots of him with a green light shining on him were infact filmed in a studio. his keyboards are hardly lit in the live footage,so it made sense. Met him at a Roland synthesizer convention, nov 2012. lovely guy.
Lucky you~~~~~~~
Richard Barbieri is such a sweetheart and I would love to meet him in real life one day!
I also love Porcupine Tree!
Classic bassline.
Just "BEAUTIFUL" David Sylvian
Gotta love the state-of-the-art studio camera, it’s like a howitzer!
Mick Karn = Da Man!
Don't forget Steve Janssen.
he is da mannnn
Mick was Japan"s total sound , if , which will never happen , DS , SJ, RB and RS or Rob D ever did a few dates , you'd never hear Japan sound like this if they threw Mark King in for a guest player ,, Mick was way ahead of all the bass players I've ever seen and they say 'wako jacko was the original stage glider , Jay Kay was like watching him on a conveyor belt , mick was like Houdini . RIP mick
One of the most amazing bass line of the 80's, thanks Mick and rest in peace. Absolutely fantastic album (Tin Drum) still playing after all these days.
The rhythm section of this song IS pretty unique. And instead of a guitar solo or synth solo which normally appears in a song, this one features a fantastic drum solo~~~~~~~
Check out Mick Karn's Bestial Cluster. A very good album.
Such a great song. Stands up as outstanding today.
There is nothing like this today...Musac only..
If anyone asks "Whats the difference between a Bass and a fretless Bass?" Show them Mick in action here...
Actually Jaco.
Then again, Karn and Pastorius are about the only fretless players I enjoy hearing. So many cliched players. Especially in the 80s.
What, a mimed performance?
@@blackmore4 Pino?
@@richardrichard5409 He meant well and I'd go so far as to say he's a very good musician... however, I can't bear hearing him.
GREAT SOUND QUALITY! Thanks for the post
Japan were very special...unique sound.great musicians..mr sylvian your voice up with the greatest of singers....paul buchanon etc
Indeed. Been waiting patiently for a new "Blue Nile" album for how long?!! 🤔
Am trying to find as much as I can of David... I just don't know where to begin!
Have all Japan, 😊.
Only took me 6 years to find a copy of "Gone to Earth" but oh what a day that was...!
There are some articles on David online. There are some TH-cam clips of interviews. There are some Japan and David Sylvian Facebook groups. There are tons of photos of Japan online. Different ones keep surfacing daily.
Mick Karn, My hero.
I always thought Japan was the English incarnate of a odder YMO...a good thing...the drum break at 2:25 or so is damn 😎!!!!!
Yes, I agree, they never had a clue either, as far as this wonderful band was concerned! Sylvian and Jansen (Batt brothers) still rule, ok!!!
WOW, this is RARE! Thanks so much for this * Fabulous
Mick Karn was the man.
One of the Best fuckin awesone bass line !!!!
the fretless bass line is very perfect
Man this takes me back. AWESOME sound.
BOW DOWN. My goodness, there was no stop to Japan's endless talent as musicians. A perfect example of how Music and Fashion do represent perfection!
Beautiful man..
Great time to be alive..
RIP Mick Karn xxx
the crowd seem to be having problems trying to figure out how to dance to this.
What a wonderfully slinky bass line!
I was 15 and went to see them in Liverpool on there tour
I’m jealous. I don’t think that they ever came to Australia 😒
16. Edinburgh Playhouse. 👍
from 2:05 to 2:10 five seconds that take your breath away LOL
gorgeous :):)
awesome!
ahh those white shoes......still have mine in the loft..........
I'd like to know the brand of those white shoes... I saw Dave Sylvian & his bro Jansen, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor wore them in the photos as well as posters......
David Sylvian was such a babe :)
Wow, you are the babe here.
hey! he still is!
Fucking hell - Lady Di actually smiled!!
Brilliant!
いい氣もちになる曲だな
DAVID ......love love JAPAN!!! XX
1:28 sheer terror insues!
T K funny 😂
The guy with the Phil oakey barnet though lol
from 2:05 to 2:10 five seconds that take your breath away LOL
gorgeus :):)
Was this the Oxford Road Show? David Sylvian certainly looks more animated than I've seen him in other performances.
yes it was ORS, they sung cantonese boy also...........
Totally drunk
So that's what ORS stands for! Forgive me: I'm a Manhattanite, and my sojourns in Britain have been tragically brief (mind you, born with the wrong passport as I was, I always intended to stay permanently. And got so very close.) When did this program run; which BBC channel was it on; and how did it differ from TOTP and The Old Grey Whistle Test? Many thanks, anyone, for the edification...
BBC 2. It was a somewhat alternative arts/music show and featured musical guests. Early 80s of course! It catered to a maybe more youthful audience than Old Grey Whistle Test but OGWT was quite hip by the early 80s. It used to be a dire old fogey show of progressive rock crap.. TOTP was pure top 40 stuff playing what was popular in the record charts. TOTP was BBC 1. OGWT and ORS were only on BBC2 so a much smaller audience.
ORS is Oxford Road Show, at this time Sylvian was a cocaine user so may explain him being more animated
David、
Happy Birthday❤
あのぉ 名曲だと思います。
Phil Oakey in the crowd checking out the opposition. :-D
Gordon Edgar that hairstyle didn’t quite catch on, same as the pat sharp mullet look didn’t either lol
so ahead of their time
Very good
I LOVE JAPAN !!!!!
Love the fuck it mood David employee, a good looking but stable genius like Ian Curtis. Valued anonymity
I can remember watching this, but what programme was it on?
kingatecavies Oxford Road Show
Mick karn was a genius best bass player ever
I see where Lady Di got her look from (really)
To think they didn't have to mime this...they play that good
1:26 the people when see the camera xD
@diorart1 brilliant drumming on that segment. shame he never did it live tho`lol
Hammersmith Odean in '83?
David Swankie their Oil On Canvas version was live from Odean in 1983! And he did a phenomenal job. :)
Oil on Canvas was recorded in 1982. The video was released in 1983.
@@heathergeary2724 yes i know but if you look on the various fansites, the drum solo in the ,.last third of the recording was a tape though by all accounts what steve actually played on his kit was fabby and way better
Who are those wallies at 1.26? 😂
@TheTwilightalehouse HAHAHAHAHA the best comment I have ever seen on this site mate
Fuck i wish i lived in this era man😎😎😎😎🌻🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻
日本人で聴いてる人いますかー？
ハマーンカーン。ジオンの亡霊め！
ジャパン好きだよ!いまも。
数年前、京都のライブハウスで働いてた時に、ドラムのスティーブジャンセンが遊び来て、びっくりしました！渋いおじさまでした！
phil oakeys little brother????
/signed
So...is Mick Karn dead? Please excuse my ignorance.
Yes he passed away from cancer.
1:39 is that fukin phil oakey
11 duran duran fans hate this lol
Haha, I'm a Duran Duran fan and I love this!! Japan was a major inspiration to DD, which they have also admitted.
Shame its not live.
You see where Bowie got his moves from!
And all this some time before the Fairlight came along....
02:35
0:46
02:33
David Sylvian looking very much like the professor Brian Cox are we sure David Sylvian isnt a professor aswell judging by the Tin Drum album cover he looks like his in the middle of an experiment!
imagine
2024,,???
yes
THe baddest band of all time, Duran Duran tried to copy but got left in the dust by the time this came out.
They didnt copy them actually japan and duran duran were both influenced by bowie that's his early look.
Duran did mentioned that they were japan fans .They became more popular and sold more records later on japan never made it big in USA .
depecheddurand that's because Duran Duran sold out, Japan didn't. Duran took Japan's music and made it extremely commercial, that's why they were more popular. Not inventive or creative.
Akhnaten Both bands don't need to be pitted against each other all the time. Yes DD had loads of the same influences as Japan and admitted to being inspired by them early on and deliberately aimed to be a accessible/successful band. Nothing wrong with that considering as they were absolutely very creative and inventive with their music. You can hear that clearly, they just weren't as left field & obscure and were often much more celebratory. Happy to enjoy both in similarities, differences and in their own right.
Damn Straight!! F'n best vocals, but even better percussion!!
@TheTwilightalehouse Too young
Hope Bryan Ferry is getting royalties!!!
For what? Churning out endless clichéd solo cover version albums like "These Foolish Things"? I bought all his albums. Played them all once only. Whereas Tin Drum I ve played thousands of times as its way more original than appearing on the Cilla Black show or other such boring pre punk mainstream TV. Shocked Bryan would even do those, but he did
There's absolutely nothing Roxy about this or the whole Tin Drum album. By the time of the GTP album they had grown out of their influences and were totally unique.
@hemancheung think i was drunk !!!!!!!!!!But dont click dislike....just in case hehhee
NO :)
Drums start and drummer not drumming. Duh!
Steve Jansen is above all of it!! Damn Fine Percussionist!! I'd say the top of the barrel!!
all i see n hear is duran duran
Because Duran Duran were heavily influenced by Japan.
Ooops!
Well your obviously blind and deaf 😀 Duran Duran could not hold a candle to these guys.
Once in a lifetime a group of musicians come together and produce music not meant for this planet. Japan where one of those groups.
paul holmes that’s why DD sung this is planet earth 😃
