ok, i was born in dec 1973, a year before this was released.

where would a clip like this be seen prior to the invention of MTV (by our favorite Monkee, Mike Nesmith)

Don Kirshner?Midnight Special?Rock of the 70s? btw, check out the Yes doc on THAT one! :) I mean, c'mon, we're talking 1974 here.....King Crimson's "Easy Money" promo film from NYC July 1973, where it was shown somewhere on some show with Black Oak Arkansas (what a pairing!) ?

Late night television for the teenagers maybe?

@CrimsonKing73 - I think It was in a Teenagers Music TV show hosted by a now wellknown guy in Germany call Thomas Gottschalk. It was played in the afternoon about 15.00. The show was called Pop 77 or so. I never had the luck to see in Germany at that time Black Oak Arkansas but I had all their albums, still :-))) I also have never seen on TV over here King Crimson.

There was no MTV in 74

@RockCleric420 this is not from MTV.

I bought this album when it first came out. Let me tell you, it's been almost forty years and I STILL can't get over the typewriters used as percussion at 1:40. Eno was / is so far ahead of his time we may NEVER catch up!

OMG i thought there was no Eno vid from this period!!

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is an album that must be checked out folks......

[joeyrider]

@drmanny1957 in his unique way he used to call the typewriters Harpsichord Writer

The first video I can remember seeing is I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS by the Boomtown Rats, ca. 1979.

[Timmybear]

I would argue this is his best album. ;)

[btreefingers]

I WANNA TURN THIS SONG UP REAL LOUD

[cosmicrider287]

@dullsvillain yes sir!

[ArgWoman]

OMG, he´s so sexy

[BlueSoulJim]

the video looked very 80s but it's in the 70s!

i'm glad Eno made a music video for those trippy New Wave songs he have made!

though Eno said that he HATED music videos!

i wonder did Eno made videos beside this during the 70s?

[CrimsonKing73]

@orchidtender thanks for the information. I think the first video ever shown on MTV was in 1980 or 1981 and it was The Buggles "Video Killed The Radio Star".....appropriate enough. That video launched the cable station.....I feel REALLY old when I remember that far back. :(

@CrimsonKing73 I remember in the 70s and 80s some of the independent stations airing music videos from time to time in obscure, unprofitable timeslots. Also some of the public TV stations in Canada and PBS in the US had music shows which were the precursor to MTV as far back as the mid 70s. I remember the first time I saw a music video was on the PBS station out of Buffalo New York. It was probably 1981 or so. In fact, it was Devo's Beautiful World and the Jacksons' Triumph videos!
