Lockdown Covers: Pur Ti Miro (Monteverdi)
The closing duet from Monteverdi's final opera, first performed in 1643, L'Incoronazione di Poppea, slightly modified.
The characters singing are the Emperor Nero and Poppea, his lover. This is the happy ending of the opera, although historically their relationship didn't turn out quite so harmoniously.
Among other instruments, this recording features the Viscount Intercontinental Synth Dakota from 1977. I've had this from new, but I recently brought it back to playable condition by re-capping some of the circuit boards.

A proof-of-concept piece from 2013. The Danse du Grand Calumet de la Paix, from Jean-Philippe Rameau's ballet heroique Les Indes Galantes (1735) arranged for 11 synthesizers, played live by a group which may be called the London Academy of Synthesis or may not if I think of something better. For those who may be interested, the instruments used were: 1st Violins - Roland JX-10 (Oscar Ridout) 2n...

I found this VHS tape in my loft today. It's labelled IQ- Live in Germany, typed on a Phonogram generic sticker. From the content it's a festival taking place somewhere between the release of Nomzamo (1987) and Are You Sitting Comfortably (1989). Éric B. Salesse knew the following details - Thanks!

Episode 1 of the BBC children's serial Mandog, first broadcast Jan 3rd 1972. Transferred from a VHS made for me nearly 20 years ago by a friend of a friend who worked in the BBC Film & TV library. I'm posting it in the hope that someone will find the rest (hopefully in better quality!) and post those too.

    Classic remember watching it when it was first broadcast in 1972 just a shame its not available on dvd. Mollie sugden was in it along with Derek Martin from East enders Charlie slater. Derek played one of the bad guys gala one.I will always remember the last episode the chap who played ian was sue cooks husband the BBC crime watch presenter. Its my all time favourite childhood television drama series along with john pertwees spearhead from space and the green death doctor who stories. Great days early 1970s. 21:13

    I'm not so familiar with this era of the band; I'm currently soaking it up and enjoying it. I came to IQ very late for some reason, late 90's. I had been listening to Marillion, Pallas and the classic 70's prog bands from around 1983, but shamefully skipped IQ! I've seen them live 3 times since 2001 and they are always magnificent. The Menel era is sounding closer to Gabriel's solo work than that of Genesis IMO.

      Saw IQ the first time in June 1985 with Peter Nicholls in Glasgow. Then two times in 1987 with Paul Menel in Düsseldorf and Bochun and then the fabulous comeback of Peter Nicholls with the album Ever in Kleve, Germany. His comeback in IQ started with a guest appearance in Paris 1990. So between the leaving of Paul Menel and the comeback of Peter Nicholls was only one year.

    I'm so pleased someone has uploaded this programme from my past. I was eight when this was broadcast and I remember it reasonably well. I seem to remember when the police from the future come back to our time, they drove around in a dark green Triumph Dolomite and they wore dark green shirts. Imagine that, that you are a time traveller and the first thing you do when arriving at the designated time you pop into the nearest British Leyland garage and order a medium-sized four-door saloon car that matches your shirt colour? Also when the girls are caught by the Gala, they are, sort of hypnotized by them by saying "you are a good girl, Gala girl". This made my brother and I laugh because we would taunt my older sister with this phrase (for fun!)right up to recent years. Some of my memories might be a bit muddled, it was 50 years ago and every friend I would mention this to was completely blank about it, maybe they had been got at by the Gala? Anyway, thankyou so much for the up load, it's been great to watch it again

    I met IQ with Nien in a pond is here ... then I met them with Peter Nichols on vocals .... well they are two incredible voices .... Paul with a scary extension ..... Peter with a fantastic interpretative and melodic ability .... I admit that it is difficult to assert which of the two is the best ..... there is no doubt that in the album Nine in a Pond is here the songs previously sung by Peter Nichols, with the voice of Paul Menel ....

  • @andreasdebont1294
    @andreasdebont1294 3 года назад

    The Menel era is not my favorite in IQ history. Nomzamo has a couple of great songs but Are you sitting...is boring, besides the magnificent Nostalgia and Falling apart... Although Peter’s live performance sometimes need a autotune, Pauls live singing is terrible. But very nice to see this period of IQ.
