LOL hahahaaa when the backing vocals come in and ruin it. i can't stop laughing at his awful backing vocals.
-
This is an amusing video. I didn't recognise Thomas Dolby at one stage! Glad to see Jools Holland as well. I hope that nothing serious happened to that keytar Thomas Dolby threw away.
-
It looks like Lyndon Connah on other keys/awful backing vocals. Sorry to say, but I never enjoy that guy's vocals, whoever he's playing with.

I do believe that is noen other than Jules Holland sitting in on the Yamaha CP70 electric grand.

@jezzyby47 not that many JP-8's were sold really, they were kinda expensive! Best guess is the M1 (250000)is the biggest selling synth of all time, followed by DX7 (200000)and then D-50 (175000). MicroKorg has sold 150000+ recently. In comparison the JP-8 sales were approx 2000 units. SH-101 sales were rumoured to be just over 50000

One of the masters of synths,Thomas Dolby..
I do cringe when he throws the red SH101 though...ouch.Hope someone caught it.

Excellent performance of a 80's synth pop super classic!
¡Excelente presentación de un súper clásico del synth pop de los 80's!

Thank you for posting this. I'm not sure if I missed this when it was broadcast, but Jools with TMDR. Nice.

Thanks a million for putting this up! All my old Tube vids rotted in a shed years ago. SH-101 was my first synth, and it was great to see it put to such great use (and abuse) again. Next up - I Scare Myself...
Yeah, if the sound guy could've mixed the keyboard player's mic. down maybe his voice would'nt be so overwhelming. No matter, it's classic Thomas Dolby....and I love the lights that surround the upper part of the place they're playing; very 80's and very european.

Great stuff. Love the bit where he chucks the little Roland away - magic! Wonder if they caught it. The backing vox was mixed too high which lost the melody. Jools supplies his usual (when he's guesting with other bands) 'down-home' boogie style - (can't the guy play anything else? ;) )
