I've seen this great performance on TV on the Peter Illmann Show at the end of 1986.

[Frankenbear1]

[mightymiguel1]

They just dont age, or is it me wanting to be 18 again? Brilliant, Holly how outrageous was he?

[Acidpapst]

Damn i still love Hollys movement.

[ghostwriter71]

[OzlemCraig]

[bstevans0]

Great band. many of their songs involved singing about sex, money, power.

[a25z1969]

Very ritmistic, beautiful end old video.

[boleplissken]

sounds like they're saying "RAY CHARLES"

[LittleSweety]

This song was no.1 in Germany^^

[kasiarzyna86]

Chyba na zawsze ta piosenka będzie mi się kojarzyła z Tobą eR.:)

[pit1300]

Frankie forever !

We miss you !

[fortheloveoftunes]

Trevor Horn should have said no to produce Yes .-)

[JeuneFilleaCarnival]

Holly hated the way the band was sounding at this time. the dance beat that had sold them, is completely gone and this just drones on, could have been a great follow-up, if Trevor Horn had actually showed up for the production. What made FGTH great was Hollys ideas and lyrics. Trevor was busy producing Yes, and also he was reluctant to deal with them because their record deal was daylight robbery and the band was growing increasingly unhappy about the state of things.

[Captain2Pig]

I'm not so sure, i still really like the first album but i listened to 'Liverpool' a couple of months back and thought the songs themselves were poor (lyrics, no great melodies, ideas) so i'm not sure if Trevor would have made much difference. I think he'd also just invested in a digital recording studio so surely would have wanted some return on that? It's often said that you get a lifetime to right your first album but about 12 months to come up with the 2nd and this usually sorts them out

[beowulven]

I personally that Trevor could make monkey farts sound like cathedral bells. Big up.

[0TedMaul0]

I used to think this tune was called Ray Charles

[sportdoctor]

LMAO

[cuteblanca]

Great band, Great songs! I own every cd they ever did. They were singing in the background in most of my naughtiest moments:)

[sportdoctor]

same here

[seventytwonames]

victims of their own success...and i think everyone was more interested in waiting for the moment that Holly would  disappear up his own arse than the music by this stage...but thanks for the memory!!

[chwscot]

Great strong song, unforgetable time - young and strong on the wings of tomorrow.

[Exodianecross1978]

Sorry about the question, but what does it means "Rage hard"?

[vino122]

be really really angry

[Captain2Pig]

They pinched the idea from Dylan Thomas (which as far as i know was him addressing his father on his death bed)

Do not go gentle into that good night...last verse mays me cry.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[alorki1947]

They did not steal the idea of Dylan Thomas since he is quoted in the original video. You can view the lyrics and the name of the author. It's like a thesis, are cited authors and their writings ....

[Captain2Pig]

"influenced" might be a better term?

[MarkNobes]

Liverpool was a great album and was under-rated. Without Trevor Horn taking total control, more of the band's real sound came through, giving it a rockier edge!

[shafty1968]

Is 'Rage Hard' some kind of Gay slang? Something to do with 'toilet traders'?

[simplyeighties]

Rage Hard was influenced by a Dylan Thomas poem. It has nothing to do with gay sex. Three members of the band are straight anyway.

[tomstickland]

@MarkNobes

Maximum Joy and Kill The Pain were and are still great songs.

[DudemanSwede]

@MarkNobes Mark, you are sooo right! Not a single bad song on that album. I just love, Lunar Bay!

Trevor Horn is great, Frankie is Greater!

[DarmstadtDennis]

Diese Aufnahme hab ich auch noch auf VHS. Peters Popshow war klasse!

[missitalodisco]

i was 14 year old and i`ve seen this gig in Dortmund Westfalenhalle on Peters PoP Show in 1986.Great Time!Thanx for uploading.Holly throw the micro after singing in the crowd.

[dgasten]

I don't know which is funnier, hearing Turbonegro going "Woo woo woo!" in "Rendezvous with Anus", or hearing Frankie singing "Doin' it right, doin' it right" and taking themselves completely seriously here. I have "Liverpool" and listen to it from time to time for the unintentional humor; it's the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of eighties music. "We're rath in a cage; thuithide a go-go!"

[MarkNobes]

Frankie never took themselves seriously!

[szaranger]

Frankie is a phenomenon. The music will live forever! No one can substitute Holly's devine voice!

[thundernaked]

in all these years ...this is the best band ever

[getsensus]

yeah.. you right absolutely agree - best band ever

[hush00]

I never understand why he mimed some gigs...

His voice is great in the ones he doesnt mime

[pedritus2007]

ha, i have this one recorded on a video 2000 cassete. I also have a tape of the Montreaux festival appearance where FGTH f*cked up their sound equipment. Unfortunately the tape recorde is gone with the wind :(

[twilight0406]

Dieses Video ist mir total unbekannt, der Song natürlich nicht. Aber da war ja eine, im wahrsten Sinne tolle Bombenstimmung. Ach Paul, er tanzt wirde so super, ich liebe das so sehr!

[mariokleinweilburg]

hey tl: das ist live aus peters popshow 1986 (lief immer im ZDF kurz vor sylvester, wurde 1990 eingestellt, war bis dato das beste was die öffentl. rechtl. sender zustande brachten, muss mal unter peters oder tommy popshow suchen, ....greetz montana)

[jensaushamburg]

hey, im searching for frankies appearance on peter illmanns treff 86, after the wm, thomas berthold was theyre too, fgth performed rage hard and holly kicks 2 stonelions in the pool. like to see that again.

[bazookatim]

haha oh my,, that was the peters popshow, i got an old vhs-tape with the whole show recorded from 86

[fusionfreq]

the pyrotechnic operator certainly raged hard. nearly blew the stage up. hahaha
