The Digital equipment really has taken away from that stripped down Analog sound on the keyboards.

@GothamBusCompany You're hairsplitting ... Video TOTALLY killed the radio star ... Song was totally prophetic .... Look for the slow version, on here, sung by Glenn Hughes ... and listen to the lyrics, you'll get a big shiver

I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff when Asia tour in Seattle last year. A very cool and non-pretentious down-to-earth guy.

Of course, the song's prediction never came true at all. Video DIDN'T kill the radio star - if anything, video now DETERMINES the radio star!
