Art of Noise - Peter Gunn Live featuring Duane Eddy

[MsGeek703]

Fairlight CMI For The Win...I wonder if any of them are in working order at this point?

[23vespid]

gotta love those 80's chicks!

[1950boots]

@23vespid NOW!

[Hot80s]

CMI's are GNARLY.

[john111257]

superb updated track..

[duranasty]

i love the fairlight sampling and mid eighties sampling,would really like to know how they made them frankie records.trevor horn should show us.

[rwells47]

This is great- thanks for sharing! Ron

[kritikoreal]

very very good.......Grandi artisti!!

[impalaSS65]

Man, Duane Eddy was really cooking... He looked dead cool with his cowboy outfit. The 80's bullshit he had to put up with, on this set, makes me wanna go kill a crowd or something. To me the eighties was Motörhead, Zodiac mindwarp, Dead Kennedys, Skrewdriver etc. The b.s. going on "the tube" was usually just laughable...

[capjoartist1200]

A LEGEND

I SALUTE YOU

[bo12hughes]

Duane Eddie was great but "what really NEED IS MORE COWBELL! YOU'RE GONNA WANT THAT COWBELL, BABY! EXPLORE THAT SPACE WITH THAT COWBELL!"Quote: producer Bruce Dickenson

[aquino80]

nice 

[2001ManicMonkeys]

I remember this episode of the Tube, I turned the volume up (much to my parent's annoyance lol). good times

[steviebod72]

bangers at cowdenbeath

[matjoman3]

The guitar of duane eddy sounds wicked

[wily1972]

ya no hay canciones de estas,grandes.,  que buena rola

[NeurofunkInfinitive]

lol Duane 's a real cowboooy!xD

[GavinEhringer]

One of the best versions of Theme from Peter Gunn I've heard. Even better than Eddy's classic original...really great arrangement by Art of Noise. Nice to see Eddy, too. Very cool video. Thanks for putting this up.

[harleypiper]

Seen art of noise with duane here in san pedro,ca in 1985.Known as the beach festival it only ran one time.

[themachman19691]

what a great post!thanks.art of noise were so under rated!probably wouldn't be a lot of modern electro music without them.

[rwb010109]

Great..RWB

[MotorSickler]

Most righteous.I am favoriting this.Thank You!



[DiscFrisker]

what a great blast from the past ...

thanks for sharing

respect

[ponyboy314]

'Cause he's Duane fucking Eddy, that's why.

[JellyBean2144]

Wow. That was awesome!! The Art of Noise and Duane Eddy on the same stage....classic!!

[rand98324]

Holy s**t.

Are those the screens of two Fairlight when the camera pans at @2:55 ...

[DPJTRON]

@rand98324

those are fairlights!! the main tools of AON

[MXWest1]

@rand98324 look at 1:54-1:56 as Duane steps back

[Ramtazz325]

@rand98324 Trevor Horn reportedly ordered one of the first ones

[1manfactory]

Those were the 80s :-)

[alonenjersey]

I defy anyone not to be tapping along to this piece of work.

[HemelHempstead786]

Cool 5/5

[ivebeenthere1]

great to see this performed live.....Duane and AoN fantastic!

[MightySaturn5]

the snare sounds perfect

[fredjmp]

Great!! Beatiful music with the character of henry mancini!!

[chkjns]

No wonder he took home the 1986 Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental with this ! ! !

speechless........too awesome for words................

ALL of 'em ! ! !

[pgems46]

for people who think duane eddy only plays on one string should go and se just how good he is this performance which live shows just how talented the musicians are and is superb with the arrangement and style of the art of noise GREAT

[2001ManicMonkeys]

The Tube! Classic show! I remember watching this particular episode. Many artists in the 80's became famous partly thanks to this show. Art Of Noise did a good job on this already cult classic

[ghostwriter71]

Duane Eddy is something else. The Art of Noise, too. Great video! Love it!

[excursustoo]

LOVE this!

[Ljolley1957]

I think the short back up dancer on his left looks like Duane Eddy's ex wife and Waylon Jennings widow.... Jessi Colter.

[RangerAlways]

@Ljolley1957 After your observation that one of the backups might be Jesse, I watched this 4-5 times & still can't recognize her as Jesse. I don't know that she would have died her hair black either. My guess, it might be the blonde on his left next to the small dark haired one. She certainely doesn't have to work but if she did, playing with AoN was for kicks. But, good call.

[onemikehart]

@Ljolley1957 Nope! she is not related to Duane Eddy. To see who he is still married to...go to "Im In Love With The Son Of A Guitar Man" that is available here on YouTube. Deed Eddy, is singing the song and Duane, is playing the Guitar.

[msteven515]

This is horrific.

[macgyver2210]

Oh man, the 80s lol

[SurfingTrucker]

Duane is awesome. When I saw AoN live, they played this, but started out with someone else playing the guitar lead rather poorly. Then, you heard Duane saying "No, no, no - this is how you do it", than he came out onstage and played. It was fantastic.

[soakupthesunman]

COOL +1

[bobbyfozz]

With Duane it was HIS originality and skill which can be duplicated, but, no one before him would have thought of it. The guitar sound could be felt in your dancing soul!

[JubalCalif]

The Great Duane! No one like him! Talk about a "Guitar Hero"! THANKS for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! My favorite TV theme song...played by my favorite guitar wiz! May ALL your wishes & dreams come true in the New Year! :)

[unnim]

Hello, wake up!! Guitar Hero!!!

[mancub61081]

It would be a hell of an addition to Guitar Hero!!!!

[kznte]

@mancub61081 Considering that Duane Eddy is a Guitar God, yes he would make one hell of an addition to Guitar Hero!!

[Garrywith2rs]

Thanks for uploading!

Great!

[BCK]

This version injected new life into his career. Great for him as he must have influenced a million guitarists in the last 50 years!

Brain Caper Kid

[freddypossy]

This man is brilliant. He can even make an easy to play song look difficult.

[dkfelix]

Ha ha - only I understood your sarcasm, I think?

[jlplace]

Art of noise is always pure art

[zzjura]

SUPPERR!!!

[bbsmog]

I've seen Duane live so many times (my Dad is a member of the Duane Eddy Circle, I've spent many an Easter Sunday at the conventions!) and I love this tune, both the original and this one... LOVE seeing the live recording.

[CusterFlux]

Studio boffins with big ideas trying them out on stadge - killer drummer - but years of performance polish? This ain't no James Brown ...

[S3000XL]

Kiler Drummer? It's a fairlight sampler, mate! Wikipedia Fairlight, Fairlight CMS, Fairight CMS mk II. All good.

[CusterFlux]

I got rid of my Fairlight 10 years ago, probably used it as a coffee table for 2 or 3 years before that. ( by the mid-90's, it was very long in the tooth )

Yes that's a Fairlight on stage, yes it's probably being played ( Symph shots ) - but that's a real drummer live, though there is some triggering - I used to get paid to set this stuff up for the odd Grammy winner.

AoN know that when it comes to a good groove live, nothing beats a hot drummer - they didn't have to use him, they choose to.

[S3000XL]

Ahhh - real drummer on stage you say... sorry, I was too busy drooling at those Fairlight screens...

Looks like 4 screens, so either you could run a few screens off a single fairlight, or else they used FOUR fairlights altogether.

Sh1t - in 1986 a CMI Series III was like a mortgage situation (in cost), so if that's Trevor "Buggles" Horn on stage flinging off the Page-R sequences then I now know where the "Video Killed The Radio Star" royalties went :P

That's _enough_ geekage outta me :)

[zenzabron]

they famously used 3 in sync...£90K's worth at the time..if you can...check out their Tube performance, Jools Holland( or 1 of the presenters) was pushing them abt the use of the fairlights, and was told to shut up and listen to the music!

[emaxse]

Those were real drums, the Fairlight samples used for the drum parts are totally different even in the In Visible Silence Live version.

[versysluvva]

sheer class and live too!!

[pinkanglia]

lick my crack

[saturn4charlie]

Outstanding performance - Art of Noise and Duane Eddy made one magical song together!

I wish they made more tunes of this type.

It is simply an unforgettable arangement!!!

[zenzabron]

true...brings a smile to my face everytime I hear it

[jennifersman]

Duane looks so cool in the midst of all that 80's hair! Love that computer screen with all the green letters. Great stuff!

[2206411411]

The Tube only ever allowed genuinely live bands. Dead or Alive were famously kicked off because they couldn't do it. It shows the skill of Art of Noise (Duane Eddy needs no proof) to play under very crowded, difficult conditions and play flawlessly.

[jezzeronthecoast]

I liked the dune eddy/ Rik Myal verson

[frankebullitt]

out there but very cool---love the ending... very strong Eddy performance again!

[fixinman]

While well played it can't match the pure coolness of the Henri Mancini origional.

[JmyHDK]

Can anyone see what kind of bass guitar the bassplayer is using?

[JmyHDK]

That would be a Roland G77 bass guitar synth.

[lestatdelc]

Correct. The Roland G77 is the bass version of the guitar synth, with the GR707 being the guitar version that Steve Steven's played for a time as well. John Taylor of Duran Duran played a G77 for brief time during the Big Thing album timeframe.

[aldouszodiac]

Actually, it looks and sounds like a modified Rickenbaker, perhaps 4001 model..but JmyHDK may have a point, it is hard to tell...the fret slides sound more natural than a synth could produce though!

[Jonno71]

Still awesome all these years down the line. I just love the "The" Art Of Noise, well when J.J.Jeczalik was with them. Never liked there reformed group of a couple of years back. Just wasn't the same. Classic AON is the way to go.

[McShamus001]

crazy cool. love those 80's chicks. the twanging guitar of duane eddy..super-cool. a+++

[Judaspriest1992]

This is a great song, i first heard it about 2years ago on my grandads laptop

[getinthevantim]

watched it live. thought about it the other day while trying to think up truly 'aced' live moments. looked it up today. my memory isn't going after all !

a majestic performance on the cusp of the electronic abyss.

[KPMAK68]

I remember wathing this when it first aired. Must have been, what, twenty years ago now? Awesome. Thanks for posting.

[kleach45]

It just dosen't get any better.

The Best, It breaks me up inside when I hear cause I grew up with it.

[Swordsquire]

Holy Crow!! That was all sorts of awesome! Dwayne Eddy's still blends right in, without losing that "bad-ass" feel to it! Actually like this version better than the original, no saxaphone to compete with. Thanx for posting this!

[number1saxophone]

@Wordsquid You'll be wanting to rethink your assessment after you see my band's new Peter Gunn video. Yeah, you got it completely "bad-ass-backwards", buddy. The guitar is expendable, but you've GOT to have that sax in there. What's wrong with you anyway?

[stonedrolling]

My mom had this kick ass Zenith Stero back in the early 60's. She had a couple of Duane Edy albums. She could rock the house. TY Mom. Named my little brother after him.

[XXXXLBill]

Great to see todays bands playing with th legends

[thelowmax]

This is from the eighties I believe.

[MiMaKBaSS]

How long has Duanne been dead now?

[thelowmax]

Duane Eddy is not dead. Have you ever heard of Google?

[onemikehart]

@MiMaKBaSS Duane is alive and very active in music. He is scheduled to perform at the "Ponderosa Stomp" in New Orleans, La in September of 2010. Look for an all new Cd by Duane Eddy called "Artifact Of Twang" to be released in the near future and The Girls! Girls! Girls! CD is available for pre-order on the Internet.

[jaquefois]

I love how he just chills there while tha band does their weird ass little electro-prog stuff

[level2789]

How surreal, the king of twang playing with an elctronica band!

[XXXXLBill]

Man what a legendry man

[renoguard2]

This has 80s written all over it. Check ou the NARLEY hairdos and even the shot of the ancient "green screen" computer. Duane and his guitar was the ONLY normal looking and sounding things in there.

[Rennelgale]

Good point, well made. But what an interesting mix.

[MrTieDye]

Duane Eddy! There still ain't no one better!

[MNsane]

you damn skippy there isn't

[BabyBeastie1]

that's twangy

[rasoros]

man the 80's are looking just as weird now as I used to think the 70's did.. Luckily for Duane Eddy none of that nonsense rubbed off on him or his legend :)

[Taranau]

Coo-ool,with two syllables...

[super271144]

love it!---------have seen him twice live, and the only act that sounds the same live or in a studio!!

[BostonRocker51]

Duean Eddy has sold about 120,000,000 records. tell your friends. Have them listen to him. this is a true rock pioneer. ROCK ON!!!

[DaddyBog]

Duane Eddy, he walks out there and lets his guitar do the talking .... excellent video

[mcbazz1]

Essa porra é D+ ... arrepia ate os pelos do rabo. Hehehehe

[chengloki]

Great! But, I kinda miss the dirty sax. =Stefan=

[Tungzout]

I too loved this song when I was a kid.

[56BUICKRiviera]

Dang! How old is this?

[spinfin]

a great live performance. I'm just glad this tune won best rock instrumental song in 1986 at the grammy award ceremonies.

[Cheze4ux]

Duane Eddy - The Man, The Myth, The Legend!

Thanks for this upload, DPJTRON!

[Pauluk33]

didnt know these guys were on the tube, live the series. from the tube to youtube, how fitting,lol, awsome

[ADITHX]

I bet Duane Eddy is the kind of man who chews rusty nails for breakfast and doesn't sleep because it cuts into his drinking time. This man takes no shit!

[ADITHX]

Ah how damned cool! I loved this song as a kid, had it on vinyl. The moment he is introdced and walks on and plays, coolness personified!

[malmalmal70]

Wow,loved it

[50marioD]

i watched this cool program as a youngster...only craig stevens could play this cool,sauve p.i. !

[Pilsbury96]

Great to see this performance again, I remember watching this LIVE on the Tube all those years ago, think I still have the tape somewhere.

[mmille10]

What words to use? Amazing. Far out creative! The most original act of my lifetime. I always wondered how they managed to create their sound. Seeing them do it in a live act is amazing. Thanks!

[giorgiopicker]

brilliant,properly tnx x this

[beccalex]

brilliant i was there awesome

[typhoon10]

Been hoping someone would put this on there... Because I'm in it!! Just after Jools introduces them, when the camera just goes on them, I'm the one with the black jacket and silly hair!!! Dont blink or you'll miss it!! It was April 1986... Thanks for putting it on!

[charger1969]

Formidables

[microwiz]

Until I saw this, I had no idea AoN *could* perform live. What a cool clip! Anyone know what year this was?
