King of synthpop, godfather of techno, foundational in the creation of hiphop. Pure legend. Been a fan since 1978. Seen him perform across decades. If I had a dollar for all the time people told me he was a one-hit wonder Bowie knock-off I'd be a gd gazillionaire. They were so wrong. His influence on modern music is nothing short of staggering.
Well stated and spot on. This is a gawd damned masterpiece. Numan is one of the most criminally over looked artists of all time but those of us who get it have gotten it since the 80's ...I was 10 years old when this iconic masterpiece was released and thanks to my older brother it changed my musical listening landscape forever.
Gary Numan is music, which hip-hop isn't, imho. But, there should be a special wing for Bowie and Numan. I put Bjork in there just because they all were so original and created new music boundaries.
@@mjp96He's been through some tough times and has emerged much more at ease with himself and his past, I think. I'm off to see him tomorrow night and I can't wait.
This is simply excellent, sound fantastic in the car, wide open heavy hitting and crystal clear, a true treat for an audiophile like myself. And when I’m home the neighbours gets to enjoy this gem too
40 years ago the father of synth pop was killing it with Tubeway Army, now the grandfather of synth is still killing it. Hard to believe it's been over forty years since I first heard Tubeway Army on Space radio. Amazing Gary and thank you!
This is the first time in years iv'e heard Gary do the old 'Woh Woh!' bit ever since the re-imagined version he just done the whisper thing, was sooo damn good to hear that old bit back in just like the 1979-95 versions
The first time I saw this on television Gary Numan (Tubeway Army) with Are Friends Electric? I knew immediately, that's it, that's my music. Best song never made, heard it more than 1000 times and I still have that kick of fun, youthful, fresh and new wave. Gary Numan for fever in my heart.
When I was a teenager I loved this song and I love it still ;-). It breathes from the Mini Moog sound. When I was in Scotland 1981 I bought "Replicas" the LP. Are Friends electric and Down in the park are so great.....
love it when a band plays a well loved song with a different intro that suddenly segues into something iconic. King Crimsons live 21st Century Schizoid man with building notes then sudden descent into the riff epitomises it.
Wow totally epic, takes me back to his early days I loved it then but to hear this is unreal, gave me goosebumps. Gary Numan the gift that keeps on giving:)
I saw Gary preform this live way back in the 80s when it hit number one in the charts. This version sent the same shivers down my spine as it did way back then. Bravo Gary it’s great to see you’ve still got it man
Thing remains this. I am 64. I stand American. There is only a couple of weeks difference in age between Gary and I. We are losing our greatest artists all the time.
I always loved this guy's music and was always curious why I identified with his lyrics so much. Come to find out that most of his early work reflected the issues he dealt with suffering from Asperger's syndrome. I started to look into and I discovered that I have a mild case of it and have dealt with interpersonal issues most of my life.
Wow absolutely fantastic and who ever the sound engineer is.. Man you are solid gold my breedrinns you did a mind blowing job on this..the sound is incredible and I'm only listening to it on my phone and can hear absolutely everything crystal clear very very impressive
This is really, really good. I'm not a fan of doing the orchestral thing with more contemporary music, have always hated that really but this is the one and only exception I have heard where a musician hasn't damaged their original. Gary, love your recent work and hope to come and see you perform one day as somehow I still never have yet. Love to all of you.
As a long time prog rocker I didn't really follow Gary Numan. By chance I came upon the Brixton concert and it blew me away. The songs evolved over time and live versions of Metal and Are Friends just blew me away. My name is Ruin. Wow. So have gone back over his many albums and I regret what I missed out on. Bravo
I didn't think this song could get better, but here we all are and it is.
This iconic song blew me away in 1979, and still does. I can't think of many songs that give me chills every time I listen to it as this does.
It's true!
Changed my musical life 🌹
Gets me the same way evertime even now
Same, I was 10 when this came out and loved it.
Try The Normal - warm leatherette, Fad Gadget - Back to Nature, DAF - Brothers, Liaisons Dangereuses - Ninos del parque...
What a great version. The orchestra adds lots, and Gary's vocals seem much sharper. Love it.
I don't listen to Gary's music anywhere near as often as I should, but when I do, so do all my neighbours 😎
Glad you have neighbors, that are so into Cars

It annoys me when they do things about 80's music but completely overlook the one true genius from that era.

His music has evolved in a way no know elses has. So glad he didn't give up and just kept doing what he does best!
He was a major influence for many artists and he's still incredible. Guess we were right. Not a flash in the pan.

But, there should be a special wing for Bowie and Numan. I put Bjork in there just because they all were so original and created new music boundaries.
One of the few iconic artists that's evolved and got better with age. His last album is brilliant.
Oooo what’s it called? I need to check it out

He’s been my hero for ever
Hear Hear! :)
Now that is art not just music
On par with Bowie
An underrated genius
I love Gary Numan because he never sold out.
If he's changed over the last four decades, it's been for the better!
@@mjp96He's been through some tough times and has emerged much more at ease with himself and his past, I think. I'm off to see him tomorrow night and I can't wait.
The brilliance of an orchestra and the genius of gary numan.. you see this means everything to me..
Have to agree, he’s amazingly good and with an orchestra must have been pure joy, wish I had been there
Ditto!
I'm with you ..i adore Gary
@@keithbowcott6231 thankyou. Doubt most people realize its the last line of are friends electric..
And me 👍
Turns out Numan is a genius, and is still producing great music. So underrated, such a brilliant mind....
I will always love Gary Numan. He was ahead of his time, but he's so talented and humble! 💖💖💖
Moi aussi!!!!!!
perfect words!
Phenomenal. Still fresh after 40+ years...
i love that nobody is able is in the same category of gary. i've loved not only who he is, but also who he is not.
Good-grief! Over 40 yrs' past... Still unique and timeless, too!
Some of our best artists produce augmented live classic songs that touch the soul....and he’s still got it in spades
Have a listen to procol harum
A whiter shade of pale live ..... breathtaking
Still has a crystal clear voice, still looks as good as he did back in the day, 😊
Numan's unforgettable melody with heaving orchestra. Heaven!
ABSOLUTELY PURE GENIUS!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Class ,loved it as a kid still love it as a 53 yr old kid .
This man is the reason i bought keyboard and synths , Respect Gary Numan x
He sounds exactly the same as the first time I ever heard him…Amazing! This made me so happy. 💯♥️☘️
Vocals are pure butter. 🙌
Its. Still electrifying in 2023. Here
God I love this version!
How can his voice have got even better! Amazing
Years of singing, much more confidence and finally realizing how great and unique he is 🌹
Mind blowingly AWESOME!! 😯👍👍
The holy grail of techno, pouring ambrosia in my ears.
You see this means EVERYTHING to me 💖💞💝🥰😍
This is simply excellent, sound fantastic in the car, wide open heavy hitting and crystal clear, a true treat for an audiophile like myself. And when I’m home the neighbours gets to enjoy this gem too
How thrilling for everyone in the orchestra
That moment when he says: "You see this means eveything to me." Is just pure genius!

Rock on, zep and Hendrix 70’s rocker loving Gary and talking heads and Lori Anderson .
His voice , aftershave all these years, incredable
Industrial electronic rock & synth-pop meets classical orchestra... brilliant!
Still got an brilliant voice 👌

I was 12 when this song came out . My older brother had this record
I could not stop playing this song. It was other worldly to me
Ist time I have heard this absolutely brilliant with a full orchestra, well done that man
Absolutely love this ! Nice one Gary !
There are a few concerts I will always wish i saw live -- This is one!
Incredible! Never imagined Numan and an orchestra! Amazing ! 😱😊😊
Most underated talent best talent this country has produced
This song is a massive part of my life and I’m rediscovering Gary. I was taken away by this song on a Ferris wheel long ago 😄
A true pioneer ,metal and synths , orchestrated ,love him
Das ist fantastische Musik
Du hast Geschmack 👍

OMG this is so classic f'ing Numan and I so love it!!!
Wow totally epic, takes me back to his early days I loved it then but to hear this is unreal, gave me goosebumps. Gary Numan the gift that keeps on giving:)
Wow! What a great song!!!!! I haven't heard this song in a bit., but I still love it!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The orchestra really add to it. Wow
Yeah and they got right into it as well. Always love seeing orchestras with a chance to cut lose and doing it.
Just so good every time I watch it.
That was bad ass! Gary Is a legend
Bloody awesome
"Gary Numan" or not....
this song have a beautifull melody, by a great accord.
Beautifull.
Thanks Gary.
Saw him live at Wembley in 79. How does Gary get better? Utterly brilliant.
OMG..this just blew my mind..the best ever!!!!!!
I saw Gary preform this live way back in the 80s when it hit number one in the charts. This version sent the same shivers down my spine as it did way back then. Bravo Gary it’s great to see you’ve still got it man
This is such beautiful music
3:41 best instrumental flourish, adds a new dimension to the score.
“Never have so many owed so much to one man for the music he gave them.” Sorry Winston..
Stunning ... simply stunning!
That was fantastic Well done
Wow 😳 this is amazing the voice still delivers and the sound is ethereal
2023 ... Wow!!!! Amazing
That has to be one of the most unconvincing hair pieces I've ever saw 🤣🤣
Could be just dyed which looks ridiculous. Needs to do a Paul McCartney and ditch the dye!
@@jimmcintosh9045 No its a wig. He underwent hair transplants that didn't work. But yeah, it does look ridiculous.
Wow this is fantastic. I’ve always loved it and didn’t expect it to sound even better. Oct 2022
Thing remains this. I am 64. I stand American. There is only a couple of weeks difference in age between Gary and I. We are losing our greatest artists all the time.
Don't worry, I know GN and he's doing just fine - apart from his deaf ear x
Absolutely amazing!!! I'm so thrilled to see over the years that his music has not only endured, but thrived!!! I'd give anything to see Gary live.
Amazing that Gary's voice is still top after all these years...
This song is timeless.
I just want to meet him so much
All the very best to you Gary hope you do a show back in manchester one day🎉
This guy will never be a "has been" he will always be an "is". Amazing!
an "is bean"

Right!
Unbelievably great vocal mix... strings could’ve been more prominent though 🌹
My favorite Gary Numan song... greetings of Peru.
Excellent version, Gary just keeps getting better.
Man, Gary still has it...others age out but not him....he still sounds the same! Cant wait to catch his concert up here in Seattle!
“Mint”
Yes our friends electric 😂❤❤😢
