-------------------------------
"If you want to step into the limelight for the first time in your life with a few decent songs, and suddenly the world that previously ignored you is spinning like a carousel gone mad, then a prime-time TV date doesn't stand out that much in all the confusion. And as this date becomes more and more prominent among all those radio interviews, clothes shopping sessions, pages of contract blahblah, third-class hotel rooms and sanctimonious tartuffs, who wouldn't have lent you a euro a few months ago, you start to worry. None of us had the faintest idea of all the promotional gimmicks it takes to catch the eye and interest of the public in a sea of competing cheap-Jacks. Landing this gig was a unique opportunity that we couldn't afford to blow. Did we have stage fright? Yes, we did. During the rehearsals, the three and a half meters from the Japanese wooden chair, where I was condemned to sit by stage directions, to the microphone at the edge of the stage felt like a tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon. And what did we have to offer anyway besides our Norwegian jumpers, which we hated, our iron Eastwestfalian stubbornness, which had led up to this point despite all our self-doubt, and an inexplicably precise intuition for the right decisions? That we were in fact brilliant songwriters with a major hit in our luggage we didn't know at the time ... however, we suspected it.
So there we were, sitting in the dressing room of the ZdF Broadcasting Centre in Mainz, eagerly awaiting our very first television appearance. At some point we were ordered into make-up one after the other and when I finally wanted to go back to our dressing room, all festively painted, I promptly got lost in the maze of corridors in the building.
And suddenly, like an apparition from another world, Joan Baez stood right before me. What I haven't mentioned yet - the evening's programme consisted of her, Gazebo, Udo Lindenberg and us greenhorns, a pretty bizarre line-up from today's perspective, but back then we had other problems, mainly to do with our pullovers, which were miserably itchy. Joan, who at best might have heard of Gazebo, was still able to categorise me correctly. Looking at my woollen outfit, she spread her arms and said in her broadest American accent: "Oh, how sweet, you must be from this German newcomer band. I heard your song during the rehearsal, I really like it." And with these words she hugged me and gave me a friendly kiss. - What can I say? Joan was an idol to me, a legend of US country and folk music, a veritable political activist, companion to Bob Dylan and a bright star in the rock'n'roll sky of my sleepless nights. Could it be that I had just felt on my cheek the lips that had no doubt already graced sainted Bob on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? I felt completely flattened and this happiness gave me angel wings as I crossed the Grand Canyon an hour later together with Frank, Bernard and "Big In Japan"."

Моя однаклассница из греции привезла диск, магнитофон японский и на кассету этот диск уже переписанный. Это был 1984
@@clarafisher2991какой диск в 1984 году? Пластинки и катушки. Кассеты относительно недавно появились в союзе. Дефицит.
@@andro1263 на ДВ дефицита не было ни в кассетах ни в магнитофонов Япония была рядом

@@vessto👍Yes great story, a little bit funny, but these are beautiful memories of the legendary Alphaville... At their very first TV Show!!! And we only got to know later about that remarkable day when Alphaville will perform Big inJapan on TV Show. And the pullovers were so itchy 😊, a little detail that I never knew.

Rapaz, 40 anos hoje, em 01/02/2024. Incrível como não fica velha.
This Song remains throughout decades and it's hipnotyzing
Самое любимое произведение автора, музыка по истине отлично гармонирует со всем! Спасибо Вам!
Memories don't fade they just haunt us. RIP my sweet Jenn.
Какая же классная песня обожаю люблю❤
Какая красивая музыка была когда мне было 6 лет.. Жаль я это тогда не слышал,... Но сейчас с большим удовольствием слушаю. Спасибо с опозданием свом👏
I actually saw this on TV that very day! I remember those awful jerseys, the singer wearing those gloves, and that I instantly loved the song.
I was nearly 13 years old then.
Later, I bought the album when it came out. And I still think"Forever young" is one of the greatest pop albums of all time.
I like their clothes 🇨🇦
Entonces somos casi de la misma edad. Felicidades tanto a ti como a mi por haber vivido esa epoca dorada del tiempo.
I was born in 1984 and it is 2024 already...🎉
I m in1948
Die Zeit zieht vorbei
I was born in 1980. I'm now 43 years old! ..😅😅
Till the end of days this song will be big
My favorite song. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song!!!
I bought this single when it first came out. Shared it with all my friends loved it. Still do, a classic!
Legend ❤ I adore Mariana’s magnetism
Сколько было выпито под эту песню, магнитофон мучили перемотками, пока не появился двухкассетник, Мы на всю кассету с двух сторон напереписывали эту песню, и двухкассетник мало того был пишущий, ещё и с автореверсом, играла песня без остановки, и алкоголь тёк рекой!!! Вот это было время!!!
Не видел их такими молодыми. Супер команда! Как всегда 80е - лучшие!!!
Stunning beauty, stunning voice. Marian, you are one certified dopamine machine!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bugün bir yerde 40ncı yıldönümü olduğunu okudum ve sağlanan linkle buraya geldim.
Dinleyince gençlik yıllarımı hatırladım. Bu şarkı, melodisi ve sözleriyle tam bir efsane.
можно слушать вечно
One of the most gorgeous voices in music history ❤️ i love how stoic the blonde keyboard guy is and how the other one is so into it... And then there's me, listening to this for the 50th time today, dancing with myself like Jimmy Jr. absolutely lost in this sauce ❤
Класс. Спасибо автору и исполнителю.
💥This is your first outing,
Big in Japan!
💓Heart flutters...
🎉Happy anniversary,
our favorite hit!!!🎉
✌🏻🥰✌🏻

What a great song from Alphaville! Kids will never what then80s were about and what they mean to us now!
i still remember these days...
You cant beat a CLASSIC.
This song, and also Forever Young, takes me back. I get that warm bright good feeling of youth and eternal possibilities. Love the 80s style synths and the culture of that decade.
Still just as amazing as it always was!
Marian, you are a substance with triple action. My pulse, my blood pressure and my blood sugar go higher when you are on the screen. ❤❤❤
QUE HERMOSOS ANGELES DELEITANDO A LA HUMANIDAD CON SU TALENTO Y DON DEL CIELO❤ DIOS LES BENDIGA GRANDEMENTE EN SALUD Y BONDAD.🙏🙏🙏❗
👍👍👍
I never got tired of listening to masterpieces
Used to go to a place called Reflections in Toronto, 20 bucks in our pockets and spent all night drinking beers and bouncing around to great tunes like this....poor buggers nowadays, don't know what good times and freedom is, 80s you were the best, always alive in my mind
Great music. Love the lyrics. Loved the delivery of the performance. Very addictive.
Не самая любимая композиция Alphaville, но когда я их первый раз услышал, лет 40 назад, был шокирован. Люблю и слушаю их до сих пор . Спасибо вам за то, что вы есть!
💓А какая самая любимая,если не секрет, конечно?✌🏻😉
@@alnash1227 Их несколько, Sounds like a melody, For a million, A victory of love. Вот, эти, к примеру, чаще слушаю. Это не все, но так, для примера.
@@schmidt8744
💥Песни Alphaville,как звёзды в небе,каждая прекрасна по своему,у каждой свое неповторимое сияние.И порой,их сложно сравнивать по красоте музыки и стихов...Мне понравилось,как вы ответили:"Вот эти, к примеру,чаще слушаю..."
И я сразу заглянула в свой плейлист, а там:"Astral Body","
Inside Out ","Soul Messiah"...Простите за мой вопрос,на который я сама не могу толком ответить...🙏
@@alnash1227 да, Вы правы, их песни стоят как бы особняком. И какую ни возьми, каждая классная, и выбрать сложно "самую любимую".
@@schmidt8744 Точнее и не скажешь...
И под каждое настроение есть своя песня...Спасибо за душевный диалог!
One of the best songs of all time!!!💯🌟 🎶And Marian looks so damn cool!!!😘🌹✨
Alphaville, at the height of their powers!🌟
Love them! 💖
Спасибо! Супер!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
YES! Great!
Qu'ils étaient beaux 😊💚
Amo amor amo guitarra sou apaixonada por guitarra sou apaixonada por piano só apaixonada por bateria só apaixonada por violino sou apaixonada por você meu namorado do braço tatuado nos coreanos eu tô dançando ainda suga olha que lindo essa música eu dancei muito no passado e ela ainda toca muito no presente olha que coisa mais linda o passado nunca morre
Amo de paixão essa música mais antiga linda do mundo amo sou apaixonado por essa música
Это было прекрасное время.
Alphaville is the Best in my opinion! Marian Gold has the best most beautiful and most powerful voice in the world!
Saudadess❤ Excelente lembrança 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ils en ont fait rêver plus d'un et plus d'une, mythique 👌
