  • Gary Numan performs with Tubeway Army LIVE "Down in the Park" which has been re-recorded in Dolby sound!
    - Down in the park
    Where the mach-men meet the machines
    And play 'kill-by-numbers'
    Down in the park with a friend called five
    I was in a car crash
    Or was it the war
    But I've never been quite the same
    Little white lies like I was there
    Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat
    Like it was built in one day
    You can watch the humans
    Trying to run
    Oh look there's a rape machine
    I'd go outside if he'd look the other way
    You wouldn't believe
    The things they do
    Down in the park
    Where the chant is "death, death, death"
    Until the Sun cries morning
    Down in the park with friends of mine
    We are not lovers
    We are not romantics
    We are here to serve you
    A different face but the words never change
    Cheers to ALL the Numanoids for the positive comments!

    The Tik-Tok Man aka Peter Enright @ peterenright.com wrote me to tell me this exactly,
    "Bit of useless trivia here: Very interesting this has found its way into the ABC Rage archives. let me explain. Way back in 1983 John Bray & myself re-edited Numan's live concert video footage at Custom Video to the stereo LP soundtrack of the same LIVING ORNAMENTS gig - just so I could have good sound quality instead of the very poor original mono video sound quality. We transferred the VHS to 1" videotape & re-synced the sound to match. This clip is one of the tracks we cut - it's entirely unofficial - & the giveaway is the blue wash on some scenes & the pyramid shaped Quantel digital effect which we used to slow mo the footage & keep it in sync to the vinyl stereo mix which of course ran at a slightly different speed - none of which exists on the original footage. I gave a 2" dub to a mate at the ABC (forget his name) & from there it has entered their system as an official clip - but it's not, it's all my work & John Bray's editing! Amazing to see it after all these years."

      Thing is though he didn't really come out of the blue. He had already released 3 singles and an album before he hit the big time with his 4th single Are Friends Electric. This track was his 3rd single but like the first two it didn't chart. Nor did his first album until it was rereleased 👍

  • @Drstephenstokes

    There is before Gary and after Gary... For those of us who get it, we can listen over and over to this music throughout our lives, it never ever gets old, it is ALWAYS fresh, new and exciting. It provides the soundtrack to our lives and speaks to us with different voices at different times depending on what we need. The sound activates us, makes us sad, makes us vibrate and gives us pleasure. You cannot explain it to someone who has not been exposed (infected?). Unless you have spent hours on a Saturday night alone in front of a mirror in your parents basement with the lights off and a flashlight for a microphone screaming "Death Death Death Until The Sun Cries Morning", there is no need to go any further...

      Bravo! Gary is one of those rare birds who has the ability to give us something 30 years ago that will forever be preferable to whatever is going on at the moment. I like a lot of randomness when it comes to music, but only a handful of artists have really infected me...infect in the best way possible of course! Gary will always just do it for me because everything about him was wild and outrageous in the most other-worldly kind of way...that's the sort of thing that transcends time and space...totally dig that.

At Least 3 , I counted , Made That Whole Building Vibrate And Shake, It Pounded On Our Chests...It Was Awesome!!! Especially His Song a 10 Minute Version Of , BOMBERS , That Sounded To Us They're Like A Squadron Of Big b52s All With Machine Guns Blazing , Were Actually In The Building With Us And It Still To This Very Day Chills Me How Well Gary Used Extreme Hi Fidelity To Rock That Whole Solid Hall It Numbed Every One Of Us Into Instant Standing Ovation!!! Chills Down Our Spines!!! Since Then I Have Been To At Least 100 Or More Big Concerts ,Big ,Names Nothing Like Mr Gary Numan Ever Since Have I Heard , And The Bass!!! That Bass!!! It Was SOOOO Mind Boggling!!! All Of His Songs Sounded Very Extremely Excellent !!! And He Had A Huge Speaker In The Middle Of The Stage That Delivered All That Reverbing Deep Base It Was at Least 15 meters tall and 8 meters Wide. " AND IT ROCKED!!!

      jdmnsxr 6 - petrodollar peaked causing Middle East to become extremely....interesting. Cold War hysteria was fever pitched. It was still ‘safe’ enough of a time that dystopia looked interesting and fashionable. Like maybe some freedom may exist in that chaos. Not so much these days. Too close to the bone. Leonard Cohn ultimately painted the picture best with “the future”.
      Gary could see a long ways down the road, though.

    I remember his first track released and he shock the record industry to its core, they tried everyway to discredit him and his talents, other “Top 20” bands would secretly disrespect him knowing his greatness and that just fuelled their fear for some of the crap that was being pumped out at the time, well count on one hand how many of those have such a huge following…

    I saw this concert tour on 11-8-1980 in Seattle at the Paramount and it blew me away. It was so different and creative! And massive! You have to remember that disco had just peaked. Crazy stuff. Also I liked his comment at the end, "you can't make any money touring around with all this stuff." Ha! I've bought 12 or so of his albums since....

    @andreawaterstreet3901 Před 8 lety +126

    This is an amazing video--great quality, and like someone else commented below, the editing is phenomenal, especially for the time. Gary Numan looks great here--he's kind of an odd-looking fellow. I saw him play kind of recently (2006 at The Fillmore in San Francisco) and he played a great show. He was in amazing shape--the guy obviously works out a lot. Trent Reznor made a surprise appearance for about 4 songs--NIN was in town for a show and they'd previously done collaborations together.
    Numan is quite open and vocal about being on the autism spectrum--Asperger's--and he's talked about how Aspergers greatly affects his music. I can see that--his songs are always so *perfect*, and a common theme of his is "man or machine". A great talent and a great video find.

    • @JamesDeWeaver
      @JamesDeWeaver  Před 8 lety +7

      +Andrea Waterstreet Gary lived at home w/ his mother until she passed despite being a multi-millionaire at 21 because of this Asperger's as well as the routine was part of framing and maintaining normality and control for him, very interesting fellow indeed!

    I was the ripe old age of ten when this came out but the summer ‘79 number one with “Are friends electric” etched Numan into my psyche permanently. The white noise live concert in Wembley was sheer brilliance and there will always be a place in my music collection for tracks like this.

  • @hayberdasher8625
    @hayberdasher8625 Před 4 lety +1

    I'm a latecomer to Numan (in my late 40s), and all I can say is he has had an obvious effect on a lot of music that I've loved for years.
    Rock on Gary!

  • @macronencer
    @macronencer Před 6 lety +9

    WOW, this brings back memories. Thanks for posting it. I was 14 and it was my first live gig (of any band at all). It was at the Bristol Hippodrome. Nash The Slash as support. The stage looked exactly as it does in this video! Complete with the rotating pyramids and the big strip lights. The only thing different about this song was that in Bristol he drove out onto stage in what looked like a converted Sinclair C5 and sang the song from that as he drove around. Anyone else remember that? I thought it was a reference to being 'in a car crash' or 'the war'. There was also a number where he came out with a Wasp synthesiser and sat at the front of the stage playing it, but I can't remember which song that was.

      Hi,
      I think your remembering the Teletour 80 tour when Nash The Slash was supporting and Gary came out in the Teletour car to Down in The Park,if I remember correctly he played the ARP Oddesey to the song Complex,I was at the Preston Guildhall gig on the Teletour 80 , it was the most amazing show of my life.....
      I was in the front row to the left side of the stage,Gary was absolutely amazing!
      Those were the day's...

    This was the show I saw in Sydney at the Capitol Theatre on 29 May 1980, my very first concert ever! To say the light show was unbelievable was an understatement. The video does it no justice. Gary was totally amazing, the concert was one of the best ever brought to Australia at the time. To hear the songs live that I'd played to death at home was incredible. The support act was also very good. It was James Freud and the Radio Stars, later known as James Freud and Berlin. James later went on to be a part of very successful Australian band, 'The Models.' Sadly James died as a result of suicide in Nov 2010. I believe Gary and James struck up a great friendship as a result of the tour and talk of a collaboration, was in the wind afterward. Sadly this never occurred.

    • @JamesDeWeaver
