This is probably the hottest live performance of the 80s. Yet way more classy than dances we have today.

I like how Terri's whacking the cymbal like a maniac at 4:15 and stays perfectly on the beat. Controlled mayhem was what Berlin was all about.

Back when performers really performed, really sang, and were really awesome. Terri Nunn was infinitely more talented than any of today's divas. And she was as sexy as any of today's divas, and need not where the tightest shortest things possible - all she had to do was perform and sing. And the band - superb, great music writing. And Nunn herself slamming the cymbal at 4:20 - she AND the band were simply superb.

@ToddDowning19684 жыл бұрын
@@donutcookiepie Most of this is in fact live. The drums are played live to a click track. The bass is a synth, being played by John Crawford. The synth patches are indeed pre-programmed, like a guitarist might pre-program an effect, but that does not mean they are not played live.

great band great material and a hell of a show, but honestly i think Terri was a little too active. im not really a fan of the obviously sort of pre rehearsed whole bit during Sex, i would much rather she spend more time at the mic looking out into the crowd where i could just stand and make starry eyes at her. its one of the things i dislike about the hip hop and pop performers, they go onstage with this whole crew of back up dancers and choreography. and im here to see a band not a show.

Yes, you know you're a fan when you appreciate the songs that weren't the biggest hits. Interestingly, I now think On My Knees from the Transcendance album is their best piece ever. I would not have expected their musicianship to improve so dramatically over time--they were always very good--but that song is a masterpiece.

I remember seeing Berlin live in either 82 or 83 at a lunchtime concert at Cerritos College in CA where I was attending. Supposedly it was their first live performance, or that could've been a rumor. Richard Blade of KROQ at the time was the emcee and also dating Terri Nunn. It was a great show. Wish someone had a video of it.

Thank You !! I wracked my brain trying to remember the name of that Showtime series. The one thing that stands out in my mind is that when one band would finish, the stage would rotate and the next would start immediately. Plus it was live, and drove a nail in the coffin of the thought that "New Wave" and "Synth Bands" couldn't replicate their songs on stage. We watched it over and over, and this episode with Berlin was one of my favorites.
