Buggles - Video killed the radio star (Prince's Trust 2004)

LIVE Princes Trust 2004 - All of the musicians who recorded the song in 1979, including Buggle Geoff Downes and vocalists Debi Doss and Linda Jardin, are present and performing it for a live audience for the first time. This is absolutely the tightest, most perfectly performed live music I can recall ever hearing. Folks, you're not supposed to be able to do this to this degree. This is a complex song, and to reproduce the vocals, the instrumentation, and the mix to this level of excellence must have required a tremendous amount of rehearsal. It's just uncanny to listen to. I've picked it to pieces, and I don't think they cheated on a single note. Trevor Horn is such a dignified, yet clearly reluctant, frontman. It makes him all the more endearing. Im Jahre 2004 feierte einer der erfolgreichsten Musikproduzenten sein 25. Jahr im Musikbusiness. Anlässlich des Konzertes zugunsten des Prince's Trust von Prince Charles in der Londoner Wembley Arena, gönnte sich Trevor Horn ein Staraufgebot der Extraklasse. Schützlinge wie Yes, Seal, Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, Lisa Stansfield, ABC, Art of Noise, Propaganda, Belle & Sebastian, Tatu und natürlich den Buggles teilten mit ihm die Bühne und boten einen gelungenen Querschnitt durch die Songs seiner eindrucksvollen Karriere.
