Thomas Dolby's synth solo during 'Another Brick In The Wall' live in Berlin with Roger Waters, 21st July 1990. Cyndi Lauper plays the schoolgirl. Now vote...! www.ranker.com/...
Thomas, did you actually play it while acting? I always think that your fingers don't correspond to what's played. I really would like to see you play that solo without the band. Could you be kind and do it for your fans?
To be fair, on just the keyboard Jordan Rudess winning that isn't far wrong. No offense man, I'd rather listen to your albums than prog-metal any day, online polls like that seem to turn into toilets of humanity where rabid fans attack artists just for the sake of trying to win an argument. Are we getting a new album or live dates soon?
And I suppose Dolby was lip syncing when he performed his part of the song "The Trial" while playing the role of the mad Teacher (maybe a science teacher) dangling in front of The Wall 30 feet off the stage from a gaffer’s wire dressed in a suit with 12-foot long arms and legs in front of 350,000 screaming fans live in Berlin and simulcast to millions around the world…so what if he was? You think he’s incapable of singing the piece or playing the keytar synth riff, come on! Teacher was right, Dolby got the funk...chronic case! It's not like this is a Milli Vanilli thing, so don't make it out to be one! Who cares anyway, it’s a theatrical PLAY as much as a concert and one of the best examples of rock performance art ever! And the cast…and the cause…we tore down the wall, stop trying to build new ones and give peace a chance! Just sayin'
Fantastic appearance of "mad scientist". The star of the show!
Best keyboard solo ever!
I always loved his wacky scientist /eccentric intellectual persona.
Outstanding
Yes! A great moment in history, politically and musically!
Stellar solo!
Loved this concert and it's a great solo, but strange that Thomas should highlight this one given that he's clearly not actually playing this live.
I have the same impression. Who was actually playing? Or Thomas himself recorded it and just performed it on stage?
Você é um Gênio
Can anybody send me the tabs of this solo in midi pls??
Si este es el Gran Thomas Dolby con Cindy Lauper Aprendan Escuincles y Críos! Está si es Música!
Hey! Some crazy old professor is playing my keyboard!
Wait, it really was Thomas Dolby????

And to think I thought nigel kennedy was pretentious. Thank you, thomas:)
