[MrSamuel1414]

@necroculto66...I couldnt agree with you more. I am a musician, I know many musicians...and very very few have even heard of them much less loved them. I give thanks to my older sister....I love you Pammie!!! I was a wee tot when I heard them for the first time...fell in love then and still love them now. A great band to play at a gathering....trips people out...hehe

[longmayurun58]

I recall seeing BBD at the (LA) Forum back in the 70's. They came out dressed in nice tailored suits. The majority of the fans seems" restlessly" curious.

They played (only) an hour set, and when Bill Nelson came and said the BOC would not allow an encore, the place went crazy. When BOC came out, the fans booed!! Then BOC put on the green lasers, and the soon the "potted" out fans stopped booing. Still to this day, people talk how a band dressed in suits stole the show.

Great, great band!!!

[manonfire46]

I was at that show in L.A. I remember a lot of people leaving after they played. One of the most under rated bands ever.

[WELLBRAN]

Charlie Tumahai died sadly in NZ a few years ago I believe, Bill Nelson never got the recognition he deserved..one of those British Rock mysteries Brilliant guitarist and songwriter

[longmayurun58]

you're 100% right!!

[triumphst]

Bill has so much warmth and feeling in his playing...so fluid and rhythmical unlike today's " shredding " crap !!

[necroculto66]

bill nelson is underrated only a handfull of people truly loved and understood this band..... amazing

[sidbolero]

the drummer seems to lose it at 0.31..strange. masterful otherwise. fantastic song

[Hackneychap]

When this came out teens were rebeling against school uniforms.

We went in 3 piece suits.

Magic!

[bill123bach]

This is magic, Be Bop Deluxe was amazing.

[nautiche]

My Favourite album (and strangely enough Terry Hall's)..lucky enough to see them live a few times including the mucky duck in Sheffield even if we had to wag school...well worth it!(Only other time to see Boycott century...what a drag...)

[amplitudedude77]

Just incredible! Way ahead of their time,yet timeless.I just love Bill Nelson and band .Thank you Bill.You are THE maestro!

[triumphst]

Absolutely amplitude....way ahead and timeless sums it up perfectly !

[watfordkev]

Saw them at Hammersmith Apollo on the Drastic Plastic tour. I think in some ways they had pushed it a little far by then but what a bunch of brilliant musicians

[waynealarsen]

so happy to have seen Bebop Deluxe in Asbury at the Casino

[badga360]

what a fantastic band granted the songs are all Bills but he surrounded himself with the very best musicians I wonder what simon fox and andy clark are doing now?

[Tudomir]

Love Bill, some cool music this is. One day you are going too be the biggest star on this planet, we can all wait, becuse all Nelsons fan lives for ever.....

[city76]

Is this avaliable on DVD? This is amazing. The soundtrack of my youth.

[pablosperros]

Love this song, Mr Nelson can wright cool stuff, Modern Music

is damnd good and still MODERN, sorry but is´t true.. WELL DONE MATE BILL...

[bradominus]

Yeah, it's funny how popular Pink Floyd became in the States, but not this group or my fav British band, Roxy Music... Oh well! BTW, those BeBop CDs are WELL WORTH the money you pay for them! Especially 'Modern Music' - great extra tracks!

[manamauri]

dont know if many people knowt his but the bass player of the band eventually moved back to New Zealand and joined a reggae funk band that produced some classic songs they were called herbs!

[Sunburst75]

Fantastic, brilliant memories. Saw Be Bop 3 or 4 times in the old Glasgow Apollo in the 70s...awesome!!!

[tateez]

Thx 4 postin' this. Great song. I heard Be Bop were supporting Blue Oyster Cult when Bill was in the middle of his twilight capers (can any1 verify this?). Anywayz, I'd love to know if there's a live video shot of Jet Silver lurking about. Well done Mr Nelson! But please lay off those damm drum machines :(

[diggasdawgs]

My first concert ever was BBD, Crack the Sky and Blue Oyster Cult. I think it was in 1976 or 1977. It was a Blast at 13 or 14 years old. I really appreciate being able to see this 30 years after seeing them live. Rock On!

[MattDonaldson]

Such a beautiful song!

[venture1q]

THIS GROUP WERE CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Bill Nelson, Be-bop deluxe were a superb underated group with a plethora of talent they should have been bigger then they were. Thanks Bill. God Bless to you and Jan.

[Codackussell]

No kidding. At least there's hope- I'm 16 and have all of their albums on vinyl and CD... I love it!!!

[venture1q]

Brilliant. I am so glad you are still enjoying the music.

[Codackussell]

Yes! And whats good is I've been turning people on to them! I've turned almost 7 people on to them! Awesome. i love this group- they are incredible.

[hente2rock]

A true First Class English art rockers criminally underrated. Thanks

[stratfordbox]

i'm an axe victim. many thanks

[journeyf]

Bill Nelson provided the soundtrack to my youth (saw BBD live in 76, 77 & 78 and Red Noise a year later) and continues to do so now I'm in my "late youth" - alright then mid 40s!!

Thank you Bill for 30+ years of sheer class! Long may you continue to "make the music magic"

[Blackhawkphil]

This is what it's about. Four not-particularly-talented lads thrashing out some four-chord inspired rock. Brilliant. I always felt BBDX we're one of the first punk bands in a lot of ways.

[guitban]

Bill Nelson was one of the most gifted guitarists of that era...could sound like two people playing...very busy on the ax! Still sounds freaky today. Great band.

[Blackhawkphil]

That's it, raw, frantic punk energy as he tries hopelessly to cover parts written for two superior guitarists. Excellent group.

[okbass]

The last time I saw this video was in the mid-to-late '70s on Don Kirsher's Rock Concert! This is what turned me onto Be Bop Deluxe to begin with. Great seeing it again!

[srpon]

BBD still the best of all time TY for this vid

[BTCharlie]

Thanks for posting this vid. I think Be Bop where one of the best kept secrets of the 70's, which was a shame because they just didn'nt get the fame they deserved. Bill Nelson was and still is one of the most melodic guitarist ever.

[paulnery]

Bill Nelson Rules!!!

[Zardoze1]

This Band Had It All! There May Never Be A Band This Acomplished Ever Again!!! The Closest We Can Come To This Level of Perfection Today is Zappa Plays Zappa!!! Zardoze1... Butterflytech.com...

[rhburtonjr]

bbd & bill nelson f*cking rule

[nautiche]

bloody marvellous....and from my all time fave album too...
