Music was so much better in the 1980s. Fun fact; the backing singers here are the same backing singers who played the Trevor Horn tribute concert in 2004.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of some of these songs, the fact that ALL of this is live - the vocals, the guitar, the piano, the keys playing the samples, the drums and percussion. It's just fantastic. It gives me a new perspective of a group that I used to think just played around with samplers and computers.
Which one is Anne Dudley???? I’m thinking the back up singer tall blonde? I say this because she looks like and dances like the same back up singer who was with Bowie during Live Aid. Am I correct???
I had the first album on vinyl. I played it to shreds. To dismay of my parents :-) The Art of Noise was everything I liked in music, being a classical guy and then this came along. It clicked big time.
JJ’s gone on record about that (eg his podcast with Soun On Sound). He had a CMI, a slave keyboard, and hooked up two screens to make it all look even more impressive 😆
I saw this tour in Toronto. It was the first time I ever saw samplers being used in a live setting. It was truly eye opening if not somewhat disorienting. You couldn’t be sure of who was doing what. Incredible. I used to have a vhs copy of this tour. Wish it would be released on dvd.
@@imdjc4 I do my best to keep up at 61 but it does get harder. I love a lot of “new” electronica as well as the resurgence of Prog rock. A lot of excellent music if you know where to look.
Achingly 80s - but still holds-up SO many years later. Striking that the arch synth & sample group still used so many real instruments & voices. Okay, JJ's spoken part is a bit toe-curling (as was Morley's on one, later album) & TAoN could be a bit up themselves at times - but they were pushing music forward in different ways.
@@lassemann1677 doh! Yes, you're right, (not even a computer) most would just stand in front of a DJ setup, twist knobs (that does nothing) and bob their heads.😳🤦🏽♂️😂
It's intresting you say that . In the original line up there was only 1 musician , Anne Dudley. The others were JJ Jeckzalik a computer programmer and sample collector, Gary Langan and Trevor Horn , both record producers
@@Krisesakes I would like for them to come to the small city I live in in North Carolina but the Venue probably Could Not Handle 100,000 Art of Noise Fans, Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!!
Alas this was after Trevor Horn had spit from AON, due to contractual/financial clashes.. Or rather it was ZTT's business head, Trevor's wife, that triggered the rifts, as she was apparently quite hard headed when it came to all things business. It's similarly why Frankie Goes To Hollywood, fell out with ZTT as well... Thankfully by the 90's, the likes of Anne Dudley & Trevor were friends again..
@@skyscratch "so now the question is..was that Roger Dudley in his place cause he did take over the engineering responsibilities after Gary Langan left cause his last album with AON was In Visible Silence"
Art of Noise was just one of those groups that with & without Dwain Eddy could achieve just about anything as far as music goes. Just infortunate that the 💩 they have the ORDASITY to call music now has pushed the AWESOME TALENT!!! like these & many others that had more potential in their little toe than the entire 💩we got now. What we got now is about 90+ % full of total 💩💩💩💩 & i don't think that i am the only 1 that says that or even thinks it % wise i maybe a bit low on it . 🙄😁🤔

6:00 Duane Eddy ! Great collaboration ! RIP

I can understand. AON is my favourite drug since 40 years and I'm feeling still healthy :)
This band were "thinking outside of the box" before the phrase was coined!
Anne Dudley a true inspirarion

@@suzi8277 Anne Dudley is playing the keys
@@arfcorps ah, thanks.
@@suzi8277 no. That is Tessa Niles
I wish she'd release an alb of her lovely ambient piano melodies!

I can't believe I'm only now seeing this 😮
Very cool intro 😇
Few studios had even 1 Fairlight. JJ has at least 4 in a live setup. WOW.
1 Fairlight would cost around $120.000 in today's money, they have 4 in addition to other expensive keyboards.
JJ’s gone on record about that (eg his podcast with Soun On Sound). He had a CMI, a slave keyboard, and hooked up two screens to make it all look even more impressive 😆
Thanks Internet for this video 💯
i love this performance since i first saw it possibly 1st time round its been stuck on a loop in my head.......

Was this at Masonic Temple?
@@imdjc4
It may well be. It was a long time ago. I don’t think it was at Massey Hall so you may be jogging my memory.
@@ilabelle1 Yeah...I get it. We who were once the cool and progressive are now the new old. cheers.

That woman with the long ponytail is gorgeous
Ну что сказать - нет слов. А,нет, нашел: да это просто ОБАЛДЕННО!!!!
Aahhh..the time before computers. lots of work, but totally worth it
Not exactly accurate. Two of the synth/samplers they used (Fairlights) were essentially computers that could sequence sound patterns internally.
@@jazzyDetroit you know what I mean..no way they would have 4 singers today,right?😉

AON used computers on ALL their records.
Always like something different and they certainly were!!!
I wish that they would come to North Carolina sometime later in 2022!
I'm in NC. Let me know when they get here. 🤩

Excellent.
I never got to see AoN. So its really interesting to see them actually make their music.

It’s a shame that business interferes with the continuance of great music.
Супер !!!
Великолепие и красота!!!
4 Fairlights!!!! :D :D ;D
I was about to post the same thing. FOUR?!?!?! You were lucky to have 1!!!
Very cool intro 😇
Wow thanks!
Hahha... Glad to see someone here much before me👍
Never knew this was a band of women...Finally ❤❤❤
Ann is the only female member. On the album she does all of the parts to November.
So how many Fairlights will you put on stage?
Yes
Dadaism in pure culture.
Two entirely different musical generations being viewed by a third.
Супер
Лет, так на 30, опередил время
The four lady singers were not official members of the band were they? From what I remember only Anne Dudley was the only female member.
Who were they?
@@TheWellnessLawyer Tessa Niles is one of them.
Is that David palmer (ABC / The The) on drums?
Yes it is!
Who were the back-up signers here?
On the live album of that year they were called the Noisettes... Members:
Katie Humble, Linda Taylor, Pepi Lemer
Tessa Niles on the left
Portuguese percussionist Luís Jardim!!!
I saw him last month playing with Marillion wow
It's not every band that had Trevor Horn and Lol Creme as part of their personnel at some point.
Одна из лучших психоделических команд!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
4 Fairlight CMI's on stage?????
A small sample of all their equipment 😌
Wow! Who is in the line-up there?
Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan
@@johnhenningfield4360 Gary Langan doesn't appear in this performance. He was producing Spandau Ballet's Through The Barricades album at the time.
@@skyscratch "so now the question is..was that Roger Dudley in his place cause he did take over the engineering responsibilities after Gary Langan left cause his last album with AON was In Visible Silence"
I see Luis Jardim with percussion....
Looks like David Palmer on drums.
Minblowing even without stuff xx
Sommeone can remember me the nationality of this excellent band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💜🇧🇪
British (English)
why cant i sleep
@Paul DAVIES Hmm, doesn't even rhyme
@Paul DAVIES I know, I'll count
Those bars on the window
One, two, three, sleep
@Paul DAVIES agreed :-)
Poetry.....
because Paranoimia
Hmmm. This was fun at the time. Not sure how well it stands up now. Thanks for posting though!
The Art of Noise is weird. The art of noise is Paranoid.😀
Tessa Niles kicking things off?
Seems so from what I could find
もしかしてDavid Palmer？
Si t'as deux Fairlight sur scène y'a aucun intérêt à avoir quatres choristes et un triangle. Tu peux les sampler.
mimed. Ridiculous.
Nope.
The 80s produced a lot of great music, this aint it.
If they wanted to be different (which they were), why did they have those generic horrible haircuts?
It was the 80's, we are sorry for your discomfort.
