    Although this live recording occasionally sounds a bit rough, "Modern Music" simply is one of the best albums ever released. And Bill Nelson is a genius. Full stop.

      Still, ALL Be Bop Deluxe albums are timeless classics !!

    The true talent of a musician, always shows itself on stage. These guys were the real thing. What you heard on vinyl, they easily played live; only better. They were truly magnificent; Bill's compositions stellar. It's a sad testimony that this dynamic no longer exists in music today........ the masses, like sheep; following robotics. Thank you Be Bop Deluxe; for a life worth enjoying while we could.....

    The world simply did not realize what it was witnessing at the the time. The genius was clear to some of us, the rest of the world is still catching up.

    One of my all time favorite bands. Saw them in 1976. Been a fan since. Axe Victim is a great album. Not a bad track on it. Nelson is a GENIUS.

    What a great band, and performance. Bill Nelson can play any style like he owns it.
    He's one of the most prolific recording artists of all time. He's still doing three to five albums a year. Nelson is a brilliant guitarist, writer, lyricist, recording engineer, and producer.

    Back in the day when there was quality television programming and even higher quality musicianship. I would argue that has to be one of the best rock intros and outro too. I can't stop watching this!

    BBD to me that is the best rock/modern music band ever to be published and pressed. Ever. This is based on a rating of proficiency or expertise across a spectrum of categories ranging from natural talent/musicianship to musical interpretation, composition style,, grasp of music theory, /use of imagery/lyrical intelligence,, to production methods, persona/ presence /personality to music quality and band cohesiveness, etc. Of the 22 categories rated, many of which are subjective of course, BBD scores high on virtually all of them. Bill Nelson is a true visionary, a musical genius, with a unique yet eclectic musical style and a humble, honest and warm personality. A Goat amongst goats.

    whistle test was a fantastic music show, in fact there used to be quite a few in the 70's 80's. the only shame is that John Peel wasnt more involved with music on TV, he'd have had a kick ass TV show, but whispering Bob did a great job too of getting a wide range of bands onto OGWT and i dont recall a dud among them.
