dum dum girl (live montreaux 1986)-(rare)

[toorlooo]

One of the few times that Tim Friese Greene went on stage...

[9TEODORA]

....hi..my lovely mark !.I believe that your are my heart eyes ..a long time I waited for it.// 1.9 .this song is very strange but he always sings very good..his voice make me out ..of mind ..I falled in love for him long time ago but I think he haven't changed not at all....he expressed a lot of sensual fashion sophisticated emotions....

[ls268dj]

why wernt they more successfull themusic is ace, i'm 50 yrs old, but this music makes me feel young. we are leeds

[toorlooo]

This video isn't from 1986, it's from 1985, they played only a few tracks.

[DavidCurci]

The player of keyboards and piano is Tim Friese-Greene!!!

[nhac1nhac]

Who , the one on the left with the glasses? Don´t seem to be him but the image is so grainy... Look up for "Such a Shame TopPop dutch tv" , now THAT´S Tim I believe!

[nhac1nhac]

you are right, this is Tim playing Keyboards!

[montynagrom1]

This from the Jazz festival and it is not 1986 it is earlier. In the Montreaux Live DVD 1986 performance Hollis is wearing a blue shirt.

i think this is in the "Its my life" album tour saw this performance on UKTV before the Colour of Spring era.

Alot of the guitar sounds are keyboard driven Dum dum girl, Tomorrow started, Such a shame, give it up, i don`t beleive in you. all have a solo which eminates from a keyboard synth..possibly a roland jupiter 8.

[montynagrom1]

guitarists: johnny turnbull @ montreaux 86.

Hammersmith Odeon  86 was David Rhodes

Prior to 86 might have neen Robbie mackintosh

The latter two appeared on Colour of spring album

[nhac1nhac]

and who´s playing keyboards on this one?

[toorlooo]

It was in 1985, they only played a few tracks.

[TheRosePhantom]

[metabaron38]

mi grupo favorito por siempre..........

[videohedin]

Une autre sublime chanson d'un groupe ultra créatif. Divines compositions, éternel Talk Talk !

[rriffrraff]

definetly live,first time ive seen them live actualy ,i can dream all their songs, thanks for this one

[russelljupp]

I cant actually see an electric guitar on stage, (apart from the bass - of course)! Really good to see it though! thanks for posting.

[JJ62]

You can't see a guitar? Er, look closer mate!!

[bassmanjupp]

Read my comment properly...of course there's a guitar, but its a bass guitar. There is no lead guitarist on stage....

[JJ62]

So the acoustic guitar doesn't count as a guitar, then? As a bass player I can tell the difference, thanks!

[bassmanjupp]

Read it PROPERLY...no LEAD guitarist on stage. Anyway, does it REALLY matter? It was just an observation, not a criticism. Chill out a bit!

[JJ62]

Well, the acoustic guitar was miked up, so technically it's electric. Almost :o) I was just being pedantic, sorry!

But when I saw them later in their career they did have a guitarist, can't think of his name but he played a Steinberger headless. As for theri live sound, I do think there was a fair bit of 'post-production enhancement' going on there. They weren't miming but I'm sure stuff was added afterwards.

[sinbaadi]

Definitely live, but with a backing track or Fairlight/s off stage which might have some of the harmonies loaded in.

[Glyphdoctors]

Anyone who thinks this is not live obviously has not listened to the album version that many times. This is quite different from the album version and it is so clear that it is live that I cannot see how anyone would doubt it.

[SoloTwin]

Thanks again! Yet another great song from these fabulous guys!

[Cacuro123]

Well Wouter maybe in that MOntreaux rock festival you say you've searched the performances were mimed, but this is Montreaux Jazz Festival, and I have been attending for so many years as I live in Switzerland, I can tell u they are not...

[mightydeamon]

i love this song !

[dethspud]

While it does give every indicator of being a mimed performance it is still a freakin' thrill to see this thing on youtube. So far today Spud has found it's My Life, Such a Shame, Life's wot you make it, I believe in you (From Spirit of Eden) and now Dum Dum girl. Of course Spud is come u-tubin' in quest of "April 5th"

As ya do. Be Well.

[CanadianKelley]

Thank you for this posting!

[Gingersid56]

Excellent! Mark Hollis is Legend!

[johnyboy5]

This is a live performance for sure !I had this on laserdisk back in the late 80s .

[ColourOfSpring]

C'est bien "DUM DUM GIRL" et c'est bien une version live, mais pas de Montreux ;)

[boris8888]

Sounds like a keyboard solo to me. I suspect it's the real thing...

[Bassmandave2000]

Paul(bass)is in tune on this one and it sounds great.What an awesome bass player!

[WouterJ]

Not to burst your bubble here, but I have very strong suspicions that this is a mimed performance. The most obvious give away being the guitar solo. No electric guitar on stage so where is it coming from?

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

I think it's the keyboard, but these guys do tend to lipsynch. Who knows?

[WouterJ]

I searched it up, all of the "performances" on the Montreux rock festival were mimed. And in 1986 Keyboards didn't have the ability yet to sound THAT close to an overdriven guitar sound yet.

[mindtpi]

I think they are playing live but possibly supplemented with a backing track for the incidental stuff. the lead guitar sounds like a synth to me. Moogs and SQs have been able to do good electric lead sounds for years before this as anyone unfortunate enough to have Jan Hammer can tell you

[dhunninghake]

Please site the source stating this.

[dhunninghake]

Best friend was there. Not mimed friend. Sorry, but he attended THIS performance and will attest to it's validity. I also caught them in Denver MANY years ago at the Fillmore (10 feet from the stage) and Dum Dum sounded just as good as this. Don't hate them for being that good live.

[gauchojeff]

Holy crap, give me more Talk Talk! I am such a fan, I would love to see a complete playlist. Hollis is Genius!

[dreamchaser01]

Theres not enough talk talk stuff on Youtube ^_^

[utuber2]

Fantastic! I love mid to late period Talk Talk. Thanks!
