Rip Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson. Healing vibes to Andy Taylor. Great cover from this 80s super group.
RIP Tony Thompson too
Yes, RIP Bernard Edwards but I think you meant Tony Thompson in this case.
@@keithroberts4952 Indeed I did. Thanks for the correction.
OMG, I such a "Duranie" (Duran Duran) back in the 80's!!!! John Taylor's base, Andy Taylor 's shred guitar, Tony Thompson 's thunder and then you smooth Robert Palmer. This was a good azz album. I'm getting flashbacks of the other songs.
@@keithroberts4952 Rumor is that Bernard played the bass line on this...John Taylor wasn't quite there yet.
I love how Robert Palmer always looks like he's a banker or lawyer but can rock out with the best of them.
He had class! 😊
Robert Palmer is such a great rabbit hole to get lost in. So many eclectic 'sounds' from album to album. Died WAY too young.
Dream of Wires is still a favorite
My all-time favorite of Palmer’s music is Looking for Clues. Also, Johnny and Mary from the same album!
John Taylor is a very underrated bass player.
Maybe now. Bernard Butler played most of this album. It was like a Chic reunion.
I met two older bass p[layers, who were rock musicians, and they brought his name up as the best bass player of the 80's. They said that he was the most under-rated bass player of all time. They both told me to listen to Rio again. THat is a hard to play bass routine.
@@dustybrandYou mean Bernard Edwards. He was the bass player from Chic. He was a big influence on John Taylor. He also produced the album.
JT is a beast..
@@martinwarford1389Tony Thompson was in Chic..
Robert Palmer was a monster talent. Miss him, a lot.
Tony Thompson on the drums makes this elite
He could really pound those drums!
💯 💯. His work on the David Bowie’s Lets Dance album 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@LouieLouie3 and Madonna's Like A Virgin album.
@@gville612 Yessss amazing playing and drum sound.
@@LouieLouie3 Actually all the drums on that album are Omar Hakim. Tony did the "Serious Moonlight' tour though.
John Taylor from Duran Duran rockin’ that bass!
Tony Thompson killing it on the drums,he hit those things like they owe him money
😂 love thst!
🔥🔥🔥
Everybody killed it, but the late Tony Thompson's drums take this song to another level.
A must reaction is everyone’s favorite, “ Some like it Hot”! I guarantee the Robb squad will pause his reactions several times!!
They actually already did some like it hot and the original T rex version of this song! Some like it hot was about 2 years ago. czcams.com/video/rRjd45n3cbg/video.htmlsi=qw9s2GfE6qhdMmR4
John Taylor is a phenomenal bass player! He never got enough credit in Duran Duran but the bass lines in some of their songs are crazy!
Power Station turned a banger into a BANGER. I still remember the first time I heard this. I loved the original -- and I was totally blown away by this.
Andy Taylor on guitar so underrated… John Taylor so underrated on bass!
💯
Brilliant bass player.
John actually was awarded many bass player awards from bass player magazines etc
Andy Taylor is not that great.
(at best: he is an average player.
... with fairly good taste.)
John (on the other hand) is superb (and was long-dismissed by non-musican fans of other styles of music (generally)!
The only guy who, absolutely, tops him in the " '80s pop-rock" (in the case of who I'm about ro mention: "synth-pop!") is [and this is absolutely inarguable!!!!] is:
Nick Beggs
[Bassist for: Kaja Goo-Goo (and, later, numerous other, more "modern progressive" style bands, as well as having a solo career and an EXTENSIVE studio player resumé!🤘🤘].
An average player?.Better than you or I, thats for sure..What a ridiculous post
That's the late Tony Thompson of Chic on the drums.
The drummer is the late Tony Thompson from Chic! Bernard Edwards was the bassist and Nile Rodgers was the rhythm guitarist! The female vocalists were Norma Jean Wright & Alfa Anderson! Luci Martin replaced Wright in 1978 when she left the group to pursue a solo career!!!
@@ericstaton6896 Pretty much all that Nile Rodgers has ever touched turns to honey and gold. The man is a genius.
Being in Duran Duran, not many knew Andy Taylor could be a jammer. More talented, than he gets credit for, on guitar. I Might Lie is a cool song that shows his chops and vocal ability. Glad you liked this!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸
Durans 1st album has a lot of great guitar rifs on it and even some songs on the Rio album!❤
I wasn’t putting Duran Duran down and didn’t mean he didn’t have some guitar based songs. I do like some of their stuff. I meant that he has more, heavier stuff that wouldn’t fit their style. His Thunder album is killer!! I do agree with you on your point!! 🤘🤘
I still crank Andy's Thunder album. Nice guitar work between Him and Steve Jones. I might Lie is a great song. Broken window... good stuff.
Very underrated album!
Andy Taylor is the guitarist for the Power Station. Please Give the People What They Want and listen to Andy Taylor's song Take It Easy.
Might as well watch American Anthem too
I really liked that song!
Take it easy is a great track!
"I Might Lie" is another banger from Andy Taylor - his solo work is very underrated!
Andy Taylor also played and produced on other bands n solo artists albums too! Rod Stewart,Belinda Carlisle etc..to name a few
John Taylor - excellent bassist and FINE AS HELL for the last 40 years
Right? STILL hot AF!
So hot 🔥 🥵
Agreed! He is yummy.
Yeeeaaaassssssss!
So hot 🔥 🥵 😍
This is when John Taylor (bassist) and Andy Taylor (guitarist) of Duran Duran joined Power Station, and Simon LeBon (lead singer) and Nick Rhodes (keyboardist) of Duran Duran formed their own group called Arcadia. They had a hit called Election Day.
I hated that segment of Duran Duran, at the time but the ARCADIA album [So Red The Rose], EASILY, beats The Power Station album (which is, STILL, GOOD!)!
💜💜🔥🔥🤘🤘
@@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra ...I agree, I bought both albums and found myself listening more to Arcadia...lol. I just found it more creative.
@@brendag5263 While the musicianship in Power Station is far&away: superior and more capable, it was clear that: they just wanted to have fun [I was fortunate enough to get to know Sound Engineer: Jason Corsaro [R.I.P. 😭😭😭😭] later in my life and he related GREAT stories about the band and the recording sessions, as well!] while:
the writing and arrangements on Arcadia's album: have more variety, depth and (therefore) continuing impact.
They were looking to create something which they, otherwise, didn't feel they had the freedom to do!
It is far underappreciated!
I liked Good Is Forever
@@BayAreaSon "Goodbye Is Forever" (you meant)?
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Some Like It Hot" !!
Time to get back to Power Station singer Robert Palmer, you'll love his "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)" and "Every Kinda People"!!! (solo)
"Some Like It Hot" was the first Power Station song that they listened to.
Definitely, and his severely neglected earlier stuff from the 70’s is well worth your time, such as the entire SNEAKIN’ SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY.
@@steve-zk5zm His early funk was the best!
They'd already reacted to "Some Like It Hot"
Tony Thompson was a beast on this album. RIP ........ !!!!
Power Station in criminally underrated, NO ONE has reacted to their song "Living in Fear", it is a STAGGERING masterpiece of a song, and lyrically it has predicted the times we are now living in. i challenge you to take it on.💯
One of my favorite supergroups. So powerful. Their song "Communication" is on many of my playlists!
Yes!
Communication is my favorite PS song.
John and Andy of Duran Duran and Tony Thompson of Chic. Super Group. Pure 80s. Best decade ever.
TONY THOMPSON (literally!!) "could NOT 'hit softly'!"
TONY THOMPSON KILLED his kit (and it sounded beautifully murdered every, single, time!)
💜💜💜🤘🤘
[You are beloved and missed my man!
- As is Robert Palmer [One of the greatest soul voices, ever! 💜💜🤘🤘🔥🔥]
🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ⚡
Andy Taylor does a great job here. His playing was…….I don’t want to say handcuffed in Duran Duran as there were some cool riffs, but he got to showcase his ability more in The Power Station. His solo stuff is good as well.
It's Duran Duran (or at least John and Andy), so you know they never miss! Andy had incredible guitar parts in Duran Duran, but no one knew he had these metal solos in him until this project. Meanwhile, everyone knew John Taylor was a great bassist and now he's looked at as one of the best ever. Chic was also a huge influence on Duran so drummer Tony Thompson was like a dream collaboration for the Taylor boys. Finally there was smooth crooner Robert Palmer, who was also a bit of a suprise when it came to his ability to rock out on Poser Station. Sadly, Robert Palmer died in September of 2003 and Tony Thompson died just two months later in November of the same year. Both gone far too early.
Power Station's cover of The Isley Bros.
"Harvest For The World"
is a MUST-hear!
Just brilliant!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘
Yes, Andy sharing vocals with Robert on that one.
Led by Robert Palmer an awesome cover of a T-Rex rock classic. You reacted to the original 2 years ago.
Robert Palmer’s “Every Kind Of People” is a must. It’s a beautiful song.
Man, the 80's were great for music.
Oh, some more Robert Palmer. How about checking out his earlier stuff like the suite of sailin’ shoes/hey Julia/sneakin’ sally through the alley. Sailin' Shoes I believe was originally from Little Feat and Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley was written by New Orleans legend, Allen Toussaint and originally done by Lee Dorsey. Then there's bad case of loving you (doctor, doctor) [another cover], every kind of people, you’re gonna get what’s coming, looking for clues, johnny and mary, you are in my system (cover of The System)
I second your first suggestion. All three songs go together!!!
Power Station also had "Some Like It Hot" 😉👍
This was an actual supergroup...and a great one, the drumming is wicked sharp
One of my favorite covers. John Taylor on bass & Andy Taylor on guitar- no relation other than both being in Duran Duran. Great cover.
This was originally released in 1972 by T.Rex. Their lead singer was Mark Bolan.
Electric Warrior is probably my favorite record ever. I got it in 5th grade. I learned to play guitar and bass to it growing up. I have the cover of the album on my right calf.
@@dustybrand So cool!
This will always be my favorite version of this song!! It's much more rockin', and the drums are kicking too! 🥁
Sailing Shoes, Sneaking Sally Through The Alley, Hey Julia, are all worth a listen, especially as a medley.
One of the best covers ever. Some Like It Hot did better on the charts than this, but the T-Rex original covered by this supergroup has always been my favorite.
Now do the other half of Duran Duran in Arcadia! That was a fantastic album!
Andy was shredding Through Out!!! What A Powerful Gritty Cover of the Trex Jam
I love both versions, very cool that you guys came back to revisit this song.
Best concert I ever went to; Robert Palmer. A fantastic artist. RIP, died too young.
Love Robert Palmer’s voice. Tony Thompson killed it on the drums. This whole album is worth a listen.
This has got Palmer's swagger all over it.
Andy and John Taylor got their chance to rock on this project for sure.... I remember you guys hearing Andy on Belinda Carlisle's Mad About You and you said you wanted to know who he was when you heard his solo there.
That Power Station album is one of my favorites from the 80’s. Bangers all the way through.
Every decade has a "supergroup" and this is the quintessential 80s supergroup. Robert Palmer was experiencing the height of his career around this time, as was Duran Duran. Then you have former Chic drummer Tony Thompson to round them out. Bassist John Taylor from Duran Duran is amazing (I feel he is underrated).
the quintessential 80s supergroup? My vote would be for the Traveling Wilburys - though there were quite a few that decade (Asia anf The Firm for other examples).
@@keithosmond5730 Depends on what you were into and how old you were, I guess. I was a teenager for most of the 80s, so although the Traveling Wilburys are great, I wasn't listening to them in the 80s. I was listening to Duran Duran and synth pop.
What is the supergroup of the 2010s? 1790s? You said every decade.
@@jettslappy7028 Aww, troll wants attention. Sorry if you get your jollies from being a douche on CZcams, but you can go away now.
That bass guitar is being played by John Taylor from Duran Duran. He's incredibly talented in the bass!! ❤
A total supergroup! Andy and John Taylor from Duran Duran on the guitar and bass, Tony Thompson from Chic on the drums, and Robert Palmer on vocals. Amazing!
I remember being so gutted when Duran Duran split, but Power Station was a necessary stretching of completely different styles that were being stifled in DD.
Power Station was great and I still have my LP.
This was such an incredible release and I was then heartbroken to see Palmer go back to solo albums because I greedily wanted more of this.
I also love that the girl in the video is Caroline (Tula) Cossey.
Now this is good👍 Greet Tony Thompson pounding. Two Taylor’s and Robert Palmer. Such a lineup.
YESSSSSS! I saw them in concert in Atlanta two days after Live Aid. Big fan of DD's bassist, John Taylor, who is the bassist here. 😍 The only DD members here are John and Andy Taylor (no relation). Andy is the guitarist. Sadly, it was revealed at the RRHOF induction ceremony a couple of years ago that Andy has stage 4 prostate cancer.
Until today I never realized Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson died within 2 months of each other in 2003.
I really loved The Power Station, specially for Mr. Robert Palmer (RIP) and the Duran Duran guys. Extraordinary music. Thanks!!
I know that Jay will love the instruments and production of this 80's banger.
What was uncommon in 1984/85 was that all parts were recorded in different countries. The band never even played in the same same room. They passed the tapes around and each member recorded their parts. The album was produced and mixed by Chic member Bernard Edwards (R.I.P.).
RIP Robert Palmer. You need to listen to his medley of “Sailing Shoes”, “Hey hey Julia”, and “Sneaking Sally Through the Alley.”
John Taylor, hands down my favorite Bass guitarist. He and Andy Taylor(lead guitar) made Duran Duran sound so funky and forward at the same time. Shredding screaming guitars and Spreading the funky bass.
4:48 Oh hec yeah! I remember when Power Station album came out and the drums are my favorite. I still to this day want to recreate that sound on my electronic Alesis kit (if anyone knows a voice patch that sounds like this, please let me know).
But yes! I don't know the drummer's name (I call him Herbie Hancock) but it's 40 years now I'm still loving that Powerstation sound! The song Murderess is on my mp3 jams for the car right now. I like that album front to back, no filler, no skip songs.
and btw, what a nice message to wrap up your video. Thanks guys! Have a blessed day as well you two!
My opinion of this song has not changed over the decades.This is a perfect lesson on how to take it right to the edge of excess but not cross that line. Pure class.
One of my favorite songs of the 80s! That bass line is outstanding.
Y'all should check out "Sun City" by Artists United Against Apartheid, "Give And Let Live" by Hope Collective, "Stars" by Hear 'n Aid, "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green with all star band (Toni Childs, Tito Puente, Carlos Santana, etc), "King Holiday" by King Dream Chorus And Holiday Crew, & "Theme From Panther" by various female singers & rappers. There's 3 different versions of the Panther theme, 1 with all singers, 1 with all rappers, & the 3rd a mix of both.
My very first rock concert was The Power Station. Robert had gone off to do a solo album, so the front man was Michael Des Barres.
I remember reading a comment about this song saying the drummer was beating the drums like they owed him money.
So Big 80's!! Love both versions. They both have their pleasures.
The late, great Tony Thompson (formerly of the legendary band Chic) on drums....His sound was mammoth.
Summer of '85 when this came out...I was 14. My neighbor had this on vinyl, I had a P-Bass copy but no amp. I practiced the bass line unamped for about 3 hours in his garage playing along to the record. His mother left and we plugged it in and I had the bass line down to a gnat's ass. I'm 53 now and it is still one of the greatest memories of my life.
A BANGER of a cover! This is a Supergroup with John Taylor (bass) & Andy Taylor (guitar) from Duran Duran, Robert Palmer, and the one and only - Chic Drummer Tony Thompson. The band's name came from the recording studio where they created this music THE POWER STATION. A very well known studio used by so many great artists to produce their music. This band was formed by John & Andy who at the time were still a part of Duran Duran but the band had taken a break, some thought they may split up. John & Andy wanted to dive into a harder edge so they formed this band. Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor formed an amazing band called ARCADIA - "Election Day", "Goodbye is Forever". The band did end up getting back together but without guitarist Andy Taylor who wanted to make solo efforts and Roger Taylor (drums) who had grown tired of the craziness the band was in the middle of. Duran Duran went back with just Simon, Nick and John, eventually making the incredible album NOTORIOUS. The POWER STATION, as a band, made an incredible album though - "Harvest For The World", "Murderess" and "Communication" among other songs on this album. They made two albums. LIVING IN FEAR in in the 90's but it didn't have the success that this album did. Unfortunately, Robert Palmer passed away in 2003 so another album was never possible. Check out ARCADIA. A much different sounding album than this but critically acclaimed.
One of their finest songs is called notoriety and it seems to get overlooked. God bless you Jay and Amber. With Respect always Brant Heavner.❤️❤️❤️♦️♦️👋👋👋
Awesome. We're still waiting for a reaction to "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina And The Waves". It's been suggested hundreds of times. An 80's Mega-hit.
Jay & Amber would adore that track. It's a mystery who it hasn't been done yet!
John Taylor is one badass bass player. Just saw him live at Cruel World with Duran Duran and he was awesome. Great musician!
Man the guys took that great T Rex song and blew the doors off of it. Freakin' awesome.
One of my favorite albums of the 80’s! Played it to death.
Rob Squad Reactions, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!
Tony Thompson hitting the drums like he’s mad at them!!
That was his trademark. Tony Thompson was self taught-no lessons. He learned drums listening to Led Zeppelin records. His drums are on the Bowie "Let's Dance," and the Madonna "Like A Virgin" album sessions. He was selected by Plant & Page for the drums at their LIVE AID concert in Philadelphia. My girlfriend and I worked backstage.
Thank you to Duran Duran's John and Andy Taylor for ripping guitars. Go with Power Station's- "Some Like It Hot".... next...
Dude is whipping the drums on this classic
Yall! I had never heard this version! It rocked! Thank you!
It was Jay’s face that was the best part of the reaction for me. Amber is beautiful as always and she was jamming too but this just reminded me of high school
Tony Thompson's drums drive this song. Impossible not to air-drum along. Andy Taylor really shows his guitar chops in this one. And for those in the U.S. who only knew Robert Palmer from "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor), it was like a revelation. John Taylor lays it down solid. John is a bassist who truly deserves more critical recognition. I like the whole album, but I'd try "Murderer" and "Harvest For The World" as your next tracks. BTW, Tony Thompson was the Drummer for Chic.
Tony was a beast and he's killing it on this track...
The guitar on the full length version is even better
The T. Rex version had great horns. T. Rex was doing a glam rock treatment of Get It on in 1973.
This early 1980's version has a clean yet tougher groove. Robert Palmer does an excellent job with vocals.
They are both excellent versions of a song that's good for musician's jam session.
I like the Power Station version a lot more now than I did 4 decades ago. That means I must have changed as well.
Thanks for reacting.
This was such a fun group! Robert Palmer is worth listening to in all of his musical incarnations.
The Power Station took this song to a whole new level, just bangin'!!
I remember when they released this on MTV, an 80s take on a 70s classic.
I love that this song is driven by the murderous sound of Chic drummer Tony Thompson. Andy and John Taylor kept the molten rhythm flowing to let Robert Palmer bring home the vocals.
Never cared much for the intro to this song, but once it gets going, forget about it.
And we really need you guys to bring in Robert Palmer's great hit, DOCTOR, DOCTOR (BAD CASE OF LOVING YOU). It's made for your ears, feet, and hips to dance to.
The Bass God..John Taylor! And Andy Taylor on Lead Guitar!!
I absolutely love this by The Power Station. Andy's guitar in this just rocks. It gets played regularly at the record parties I attend.
Let's get it on people. Cheers, Paul.🤪📀🎶❤️
That is a banger
My 1st concert was The Power Station back in 1985 at 14 ! Still a huge Duranie! Robert Palmer actually backed out of the tour and they got sing Michael Des Barrres last minute!
Duran Duran's John Taylor (bass), Andy Taylor (guitar), Chic's Tony Thompson (drums), and Robert Palmer! The Power Station revised Robert Palmers career and he went on to have solo hits in the 80s, it was a "side-hustle" for the Duran Duran members, meanwhile the rest of the group, Simon Le Bon (Lead singer), Nick Rhodes (keyboards), and Roger Taylor (drummer) had their own side group called Arcadia with some great hits too, such as, "Election Day", "Too Late Marlene", "Goodbye is Forever", "The Promise" (with Sting), and "The Flame"! Check out some Arcadia too!💖💖
Oh, Boy….i saw them in concert when they first came on the scene….i loved John Taylor from Duran Duran! 😃🥰
This was one of two of my favorite songs by Power Station!
I 💯 prefer this version. It’s on my playlist & rock out to it quite often! 🤘
I can't believe I use to watch these videos back in 1985 and just how quickly time flies by. Rip Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson it's been almost 21 years since they both have passed in 2003.
Such A Baddass Colab Of Talent Here.Damm !!! What A Smokin Tune..
Loved this whole album. Murderess would be a good one to do next. Think you’ll like the horn parts and the bass is fantastic as usual. And guitarist Andy Taylor is criminally underrated
For anyone who are familiar with the movie Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, on the end credits a song preformed by Power Station was being played and it was called "We Fight For Love" and immediately after hearing it I fell in love with the song. The song does have that typical Power Station vibe to it.
The original by T Rex in 1971 is the best. Glad you listened to that
Just remembered the first song I ever heard by Robert Palmer back in the day. It’s called, “You’re gonna get what’s coming”, and you should give it a listen. Thanks for the great channel. BTW, Bills fan here, but forever grateful to you Bengals fans for lifting us all up during and after the Demar Hamlin death and resuscitation during that unforgettable game! Love you bro!
