2:34 RIP to the amazing Linda Allen who sang backing vocals with Debi Doss and Linda's unforgettable solo at the end of the song. Sing for them in paradise Dear Linda.😪💔
I was wondering why the original back up singers weren't in some of the new performances
Iconic
She's so amazing
The Ooh-wah-ooh's sounded so intensely sexy to me back in the day. I'd play it on the local coffee shop's juke box and I had to be careful not to let anyone see me lip-sync to them lest people get a wrong idea about me.
Amazing that she sounds exactly the same in this live recording.
Nostalgic sounds of better times.
RIP Linda Allen, she had a beautiful voice.
Agree 100%
I was thinking what a fabulous voice she had as I watched this video!
44 years on and this song still sends shivers down my spine, particularly Linda's solo vocal. True future nostalgia.
Takes me back, beautiful memories
It's rare to have a live performance hit so close to the recorded one. Amazing.
1979
Yes close but it's too fast I think
@@hoihoi9866 I think this one is better than the original but to each his own
I completely agree, usually the bands like to change how they sing, or some of the instruments, but this one is so close to the radio/video version, and it's not lip synced, almost perfect.
Its better, the little variations are really adding to it. Consummate musicians at the pointy end of their craft. Just being fantastic.
Not many songs out there will ever be as immortal as this one.
Money for nothin’
Probably in the top 5 iconic songs for Gen X. I watched Night Flight religiously hoping for Buggles.
Walk of life
True…
1st MTV song
Best LIVE performance of this song on YT. RIP, Linda Allen. Her iconic solo near the end makes the song over the top wonderful. Trevor Horn, you are the best. Keep on playin'.
I get chills when I hear her solo. Simply elegant
@@SoulHackerOfficial absolutely..
Oh 😢 Rip i didnt know, its so hard to find any information on her, she has such a good voice.
There was a better version of this exact same 2004 performance on UA-cam, Full HD with better sound. It looks like that has been taken down. What a shame. Perhaps Trevor can arrange for a copy to replace this version. Not knocking the content or performances one bit, I'm just saying there is a better reproduction of this same material. That one was the best example, and was an absolute delight to listen to via good headphones.
@@keithharrison1453 I agree. I'm not 100% sure if we think of the same version, but in this one here, the end has been cut. In the one I was thinking about, Trevor was thanking his band members and the original background singers at the end. In my opinion, that's part of the performance, and especially part of the emotion of that performance and should have been kept.
Like @keithharrison1453, I'm not here to complain - it was a great performance, and I'm glad we live in a time in which recordings like this can easily be found on youtube, but it's a bit of a shame when not all of it is "preserved".
まさに、色褪せない名曲。
I was alive to watch the start of MTV, and so appropriate this was the first video. Trevor Horn is not only phenomenal as a producer, he is timeless.
I not only love how this is as good as the original studio recording, but Linda Allen's voice is just immaculate after all of these years (RIP), and the drummer. The guy is really enjoying his time out there and getting into it. I totally loved this performance.
The keyboard player is the original also. Loved this song for many many years
A stunningly beautiful piece of music! RIP Linda Allen - the voice of an angel 🙏
Trevor Horn.... you and Linda Allen will live on in our hearts ....forever.... you are immortal, thank you for your music 🙂
Perfect pitch, perfect performance, perfect song. Thank you, Trevor, for your gift to us. 💕
love this live version than the original one
First Music Video on MTV in 1981 .... and 42 yrs later STILL an Anthem across time. One of those songs that defines an Era. Superb
Trevor Horn is SO underrated. Fantastic producer and writer.
Geoff Downes is even more underrated.
He is not!
This took me back, through the years and tears, to the first time I heard the song. On my way home from school in 1979, on the school bus. I refused to get off at my stop and rode until the song was over and walk from there. I’ve never been able to explain why it resonated in me the way it did, but it did, and still does.
This is real
When I was a lad, I would stay awake and listen to you on my transmitter. You were my first rock group. You were the first one. What a fantastic transition in music for me. Thank you, still adore this tune
Best live version ever, drummer Paul Robinson is brilliant on this live set. RIP Linda Allen, Debbie Doss a legend too.
Everyone on the stage is a world-class musician. Trevor Horn's real superpower is somehow being friends (at least professionally) and bringing together such amazing folks.
Anne Dudley is always amazing too. Though, you know, Hans Zimmer was involved with the original version.
Is Linda the pretty brunette on the right? She had curly hair in the 1979 version.
@@mjohncole77Yes.
@@travcollierOn point comment.
Well said my friend they were brilliant
Honestly, when she starts singing at 2:22, my heart moves.
ikr, so powerful🔥
I get chills. My favorite part of the video!
I also love her vocalization at 1:03
@@bluesailormercury same😊
100% agree she’s fabulous
I feel you
It's 2023 and this song still sounds futuristic to me.
it ,makes me cry in 2024
I love how it sounds futuristic even 40 years later, but when you listen to the piano and strings underneath it's classical music. ❤
This song encapsulated an entire era of music. Ironic that it was the first video that MTV played because the platform didn't evolve for the better than how it started. This set the bar very high.
BOrn in 74 in Morristown NJ, raised in Sparta, and God Almighty, I remember this! 😊
When I was young, Trevor Horn signature on any song was a quality seal.
There was no exception. Kudos master!
I'm home sitting on a metal folding chair 💺. I sit here and listening to this incredible song the rich sounds this producer and singer created make me cry. Cry for a time where things were much more simple and less complicated. In music and in the World 🌎. I miss those time's I pray they return to take me away to that place again. With tears in my eye's and rain hitting the window. I fear that we can't return to better day's. So I will continue to cherish the thoughts that consume me. I love you magical 80s 90s 20s..
There was an even better version of this 2004 performance on UA-cam, the exact same performance, but in Full HD and with even better sound reproduction. That seems to have been taken down.
And in it Trevor had a nice call out to those amazing ladies and the band, all cut from this upload. Why?
I prefer the other (deleted) video where Trevor, named co writers, musicians and back up singers. I would encourage this video be edited to a longer format.
I agree the longer version was good, but the main point is that the audio quality at HD was superior too. Of all the music videos here, that was one of the best, that I would regularly listen to because it was superb, especially through a good headset.@@johnharbaugh9471
And there was me thinking the same
They took it done😕
For some reason I watch this every night.
How is this even better than the studio version??
Ive watched this over and over again. It really is that good.
Linda Allen had a beautiful voice. R.I.P.
2:20 goosebumps 💛💙💛
This Lady at 2:22 is the damned hell of a background voice.
Just OUTSTANDING!
RIP Linda Allen - may G-d rest you gently.
@@Dov_ben-Maccabee I couldn't know that! I stand by what I said - but I would use other expressions! Kind regards
Sigh long live the 80s!
I was only 13 when I first heard this and thought it was the best thing I have ever heard up to that point. Now I'm 56 and still think of this song very fondly and miss those days what an era to grow up in !
I absolutely bloody love this song even after all these years 😳❤️❤️
RIP Linda, fabulous solo
I was born 71, and this brought a tear to my eyes. This song was so iconic I think everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard It. Thank you for the upload.
Im 1971 … i remember being in my dads Datsun parked outside Woolworths and it was on the radio 😮😮😂😂
I was on a little date with a friend… we went to a play together and this played when we were heading out to grab dinner :)
Until I looked it up just now I would have sworn the bass was done on a bass machine. To see Trevor Horn do it live is amazing. What a performance!
Every kid in the neighborhood went to "Billy's" house to see the World Premiere of MTV...and with this song, our teenage world was changed forever.
Thank you for bringing the memories back!
Every time I watch this, tears in my eyes. Just so good, so well written, amazingly performed, and makes me just a little melancholy. What a ride.
RIP, Linda Allen. I bet she is she singing with the other angels. 44 Years later this song is still awesome just like it was way back then.
Thank you, Trevor and Geoff, still hits today. Bravo for being one of those rare, Soundtrack to our Lives songs.
One of the best songs ever created. It can be played a hundred times and you never get sick of it.
This has got to be one of my favourite live performances ever. You guys completely nailed it.
Damn, Trevor Horn and his friends/team gave us so much brilliantly made, composed and produced music - what a musical hero this man is✌! This playlist is nothing but magical.
Where did all those years go?... It was only yesterday that I was cruising down the coast listening to this, Driver's Seat and Saucilito Summer Night... woke up this morning and it's 40 years later. I want a do-over!
Driver's Seat and Sausalito SummerNight are awesome songs--two of my favorites too!
What an amazing performance. And keeping the backing vocalists instead of replacing them it does give it a beautiful touch
What a phenomenal performance…sounds so much like the original…such amazing talent. Trevor Horn, you are a living LEGEND ✨✨
I actually like it better than the original recording.
How hard it is to believe so much time has passed.
Linda Allen we'll never forget you...
I heard an angel's voice.
The end of the song with piano and clarinet is pure genius
It was great that you got Debbie Doss and Linda Allan from the actual VKTRS video to sing live with you. So sad to hear of Linda's passing in 2015. She had a wonderful voice.
Because they were Buggles too.
It was their song, trevor may be the lead singer but together they where the buggles. Without Debbie and linda this song wouldn’t be VKTRS
❤
Man I still remember when this awesome song first hit the radio waves! Way back in June 1979! I was living in Puerto Rico at the time! Growing up as a young kid I was 16 years old! And it became one of my favorite tune then and still my favorite today! I love the Buggles! “The age of plastic”👌😎👍
Still love this song!!!
This song is so catchy… so well written and stands the test of time. What a lovely live performance by everyone.
Time for part two Mr.Horn!!!!
“Digital killed the video star”
Even though this Timeless classic came in the late 70's I grew up in the 80's Listening to this and I'm Grateful for Being Gen'X
This is one of the perfect pop songs in my entire memory, and I'm a music collector. First started collecting LPs in 1980, then CD's, so have over 5,000 albums in my collection. Video Killed the Radio Star is one of my favs. It has all the ingredients of great pop -- killer beat, melody, pathos, and a chorus that penetrates into your brain like all great ear candy does.
Amazing PoP … groundbreaking
Exactly! The chorus is like ear candy!
a timeless iconic super song
Dopest 2 chord chorus ever… and top 10 bass tones on this track. It still slaps so hard! Amazing performance here!!!
Debbie's and Linda's amazing vocals. rest in peace, you had the voice of an angel. all my love.
This song is one of all time favourites from the 80's so true just look where music has come so far Trevor horn was a prophet his words came true 😄😄😄😄😄😄jx
Here it is 2024 and this song still rocks. Trevor, you are a musical genius!!!
I just love this song.
Great song, makes me happy and sad at the same time. Brilliant live performances, considering the passage of time.
They even got Debbie Doss and Linda Allen!
I know exactly what you mean, I wish I could go back to when I 1st heard it, in the 70's ☺😪😪
My sweet lord what a live performance...magical
I never get tired of hearing this song, and I love the piano solo version too!
best live performance ever..very talented producer ..love it
Still loving it in June 2023
Am i the only 15 year old that absolutely adores this song😂😂??
Lillie Parkinson, you are destined for greatness
Bought the single in 79. Still got it in my vinyl collection 👍
This is what one would call the performance of record for Video Killed RS. Amazing live performance. So glad Trevor and crew put in the time to do it.
The better version is probably the one that keeps going after the songs as Trevor mentions that haven't done that song in 25 years and introduces the individuals who played on the original record. Very touching but removed from you tube, maybe somebody can bring it back especially since Charles is the King now and he seemed to like the performance
the song Video killed the radio star is sill good and cool now and it had be cool seeing Watch Trevor Horn doing the song now, 🌏🏟🏠🧏♀🥷🧚♀🧚♂🧚🏋♀🏋♂🏋🦊
The piano and backing vocals. Just beautiful. ❤
I remember hearing this song on the radio first in 1979. Then on M TV! I great to hear it again.
The second verse, when the syncopating synth and backing vocal comes in: that never fails to send thrills down my spine, and Linda Allen's vocal. Immortality in a song.
Fantastic version of this timeless classic. The arrangement was beautiful.
When I listened to it for the first time, I couldn't believe it was released before I was born. Your song will resonate in my heart forever. Arigato from 🇯🇵🤗
I like Linda's chorus because it's powerful.
Thank you
Linda was awesome. RIP
Me too
Strange that few people know it was the first song on MTV
A pop MASTERPIECE! You were the first one and you are the last one!
This song was the very first music video ever played on MTV August 1, 1981. Brings back many fun memories.
Buggles fan from the first time i heard a song from this band. I was a DJ at a pirate station in The Netherlands that time. Brings back great memories
What a lineup -- a musician's musician's murderers row. Superb arrangement -- and those three bass chords during the short breakdown 🤩
Yeah he's playing some nice voicings in that spot
One of the best pop songs of the 20th century! An iconic classic!
1st song on mtv... brings back a lot of memories 😊
Brilliant!!!
I discovered this live version a few months ago and have come back to watch it a number of times. Just awesome, especially the backing vocals.
2:23 legendary, enough said🔥
I remember hearing this on Radio 1 and seeing the video almost everywhere! I thought to myself - “here comes the new decade”
音楽は、世界を繋ぐとは、このことですな…本当に大好きですこの曲🥰
These background singers are amazing ❤
Trevor Horn - the man who invented the 80s.
Like "gold dust", this great song came out of the radios back then and was so much better than almost anything else.
私は49才、昔から大好きな曲です！！ラジオ📻から知りました🎉
大好き❤CDも持っています❤🎉😊
Trust Trev to get it spot on.
今聞いても色褪せないのが良い
Fantastic version :)
Whenever I need a fix to hear this song this is the performance I go to, mainly due to the fact the original ladies are singing their parts. Too cool. 😁
Thank you Trevor Horn & all of The Buggles for leaving your mark on the world 🌎 with this iconic song, "Video killed the radio 📻 star., with Your gifts & talents & singing & playing the instruments. I was 15 yrs as a freshman going to Emerson High School in Union City New Jersey 9/1981 to 6/1985. Timeless classic, 1st video on MTV before they killed Mtv with those stupid ugly reality shows. 😤
The anthem of the best decade ever. 80s forever!
Thank you Trevor , this never gets old ,,, I’m sure this will still be enjoyed for a long time to come.
Brings back my home ,youth and many nights out ..alas we all age but music makes us younger
