  • A Flock of Seagulls - Telecommunication - Live, 1983

    Posted by admin on June 18th, 2009 and filed under telecommunication |

    This performance by A Flock of Seagulls was from their concert recorded live for the “Sight and Sound” TV program. This was where the show was broadcasted live on TV, and also simultaneously on an FM stereo radio broadcast. Don’t know what’s with the “Woo woo” synth sounds at 25 seconds in, maybe the sound engineer was a bit drunk! (You’ll know what I mean if you watch it…)

    Duration : 0:3:7

      I went to a club in New York city early this year, and they were playing new rock music,and suddenly they played this song. I bet all the kids thought it was a new song, but blended with the new songs it sounded fresh, as if it was made in 2008.

      Was this the free gig at the Brixton Ace that was used for their video? If so I was there, at the front. I used to love this band, didn’t like too many other electropop bands though. Mike did have good hair, don’t know why he got so much stick about it.

      I still disagree. There are a handful of easy songs on drums, but there are in fact hard songs to play, most of them off of The Story of A Young Heart album. And no I do not always find myself humming pauls melodies, I do find myself humming to Frank’s lines too, while clicking my teeth to the drum beats.

      Opinions? lol its no secret the guy is a hole to even let get between you and your brother is retarded. in a nut shell:

      MIke was the least talented of the 4 - cant play keys and cant sing, attempted to play guitar to take away from Pauls shine but for sure not a gutar player.
      Mike hated this fact so he attempted to stand out and he did and basically bullied the other 3. but Mike was a jelous dude. Frank and Paul were legit musicians.

    19. powarule Says:

      hard work? lol. …
      hard work? lol. None of the drums were difficult. plus in the studio the drums were programmed via drum machine/sequncer - he did play live but none was hard. Mike sure didnt play Keys AT ALL!!! he hit a key here and there and a stab there and here but never a key player. Paul was the predominant sound of AFOS, period. do this test: pick of any AFOS song.now hum it at loud and guess what? 9 out of 10 you will be humming PAUL’S guitar melodies
      see?
      PAUL was the sound.

    20. AFOSvideos Says:

      Mike does have alot …
      Mike does have alot of opinions, but he’s still the reason AFOS was an early 80’s hit. What about frank? Wasnt he the sound of AFOS too? What about Ali, the backbone to their songs, you can’t say Paul was the sound of AFOS if there were other members contributing just as hard, if not harder, than Paul. No negativity torwards Paul, but ALOT of his guitar lines were easy as compared to some bass of the basslines or perhaps drum lines.

      Are you joking? This sounds NOTHING like Electricty by OMD.

      Just saw AFOS in concert at the famous Cape Cod Melody Tent.
      They are on the Regeneration Concert Tour along with Naked Eyes, ABC, Belinda Carlisle, and Human League.
      You would hardly recognize the lead singer, today! But all groups are still great, after all these years!!
