      Blaire Ronzel there’s still artists today who use the more traditional synth sounds tho like The Weekend, La Roux, and M83, those are the most authentic new wave revival acts of the past decade.

    Terri Nunn was one of the most oustanding front women in bands of the 80s. When Debra Harry went out of the picture to care for her sick boyfriend; which I admire her for; she left an empty space for ultimate rocker blonde. But then along came Terri and Berlin...just amazing. Bless both those charismatic women who blazed a trail of great songs and memorable performances. Both deserve their place music history.

      Hmm, new wave was a term invented by a music exec who didn't like the tag punk so he forced all new or different sounding acts on his label to be described as 'new wave'. Much has been written about it but 'New Wave' was merely an exercise in rebranding.

    I’ll go as far to say they’re one of the most underrated bands of the 80’s. People usually just think of Take My Breath Away and cast them off when they have tons of good songs! The Metro, No More Words, Matter of Time, World of Smiles, Tell Me Why etc. they have some real good stuff and are super talented. Great live performers as well.

      I was also at that show, and Talk Talk was the opening act. Did you go to any other shows at the Warfield that summer? Best summer of concerts in my life. I remember seeing Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, Thomas Dolby at the Warfield, and at other venues The Pretenders, The Eurythmics, Howard Jones...I know there were more. What a magical year 1984 was for concerts!

    Great performance. I like to mention the brilliance of songwriter John Crawford when I can, because everybody just talks about Terri, but ... my God, what a GREAT performance from Terri! I dig the subtlety with which she makes each lyric fresh. Also, always thought she was hottest with this look, more so than the "No More Words" look. I really wouldn't object if fashion instantly reverted to 1982 right now.

    • @dicklauder
      @dicklauder Před 8 lety +1

      In addition to John there was David Diamond's synth work and arrangements. He, Terri and John were/are Berlin. I don't know if you follow The Berlin Official Facebook page that Terri maintains, but she, John and David have been doing more and more gigs together in the California area. It's great to see them back working together from time to time. All wounds healed, all fences mended. It was mainly the falling out between John and Terri that hurt them the most. David and Terri have always been close. :-)

Berlin did three songs - The Metro, Tell Me Why & Sex. Search for 'Berlin Tell Me Why Live' - there's a vid with both TMW & Sex on the one vid. Terri ditches the red jacket after The Metro...

    I'm not comparing but to this day I never understood the extreme endless hype of Blondie while Berlin never got the attention they deserved and are kinda forgotten today. Berlin were one of the very few bands who did european synthpop with an actual female singer and were kinda ahead of their time. Debbie gets all the praise while Terri had the badass voice and was way better at performing live. That's what I see at least. When I watch live sessions of Blondie I get bored after the 1st song already, while I could watch Berlin perform live endlessly. That petite person opening her mouth and such a big voice coming out, always drops my jaw. I can imagine if Berlin were based in the UK scene their whole legacy would've been different. If I remember right they actually got turned down in the US in the beginning for sounding "too european".
