First Broadcast on 22nd May 1979
The Old Grey Whistle Test (sometimes abbreviated to Whistle Test or OGWT) is a British television music show. The show was devised by BBC producer Rowan Ayers, commissioned by David Attenborough[and aired on BBC2 from 1971 to 1988. It took over the BBC2 late-night slot from Disco 2, which ran between September 1970 and July 1971, while continuing to feature non-chart music. n.
According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys - doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test.

In terms of complexity, regarding musical structure organized around pitch, duration of notes, timing, and change of direction creating suspense, momentum, and deep attention grabbing texture, Mr. Numan is the most underrated Pop artist in the last 50 years.
Saw him tonight in Boston. 66 and incredible. Looks and acts 36.
I saw him a few weeks ago in Denver. He moves like someone half his age and was absolutely thrilling to watch, as always.
@@mjp96SO TRUE!!! Saw him at Cruel World Fest 2023 and he & his band were FIRE 🔥
I had no idea he was 66!! I'm 56 and thought we were the same age! ❤❤
RIP Ced. What an amazing drummer.
So so tight. Drumming astoundingly good. And Billy and Chris smashing it.❤
Wow!! Cedric's drumming on this track is nothing short of amazing. He was worth every penny because of what He could give to a song.
Gary Numan is so cool, way ahead of his time.
Yesssss!
No words !!
Still is in front!
I saw Gary Numan back in the 70s in a small venue in Pittsburgh. The blank stair he had on his face with his dark eyes was mezmerizing. The whole concert he looked like at any moment he was going to reach out and rip your heart right out of your throat. One of he best concerts I have ever seen. And I hae been to many concerts.
This song blew me away when I first heard it and still a fan to this day. Saw Gary Numan live a few times and he always put on a great show.
Check out Tubeway Days, an early Numan/TD tribute band. They will take you straight back to 1979.
Billy Currie , Cedric Sharpley , and Paul Gardiner killed it on this 1st time I ever saw this band was this performance and my world changed immensely
THE DRUMMER
Pleasure Principle is 50% about the drums. Cedric Sharpley was tremendous.
With all the techno Cedric keeps the beat clean and crisp fitting in perfectly with the song
@@fuckamericanidiot He had a great groove and style that made the songs special. His drumming was something I noticed right away because it stood out! He was great!
A little bit of cocaine
@@rudolphhille8003
A little? Give me some! 😝
As any band knows - you're only as good as your drummer. This band was as good as it gets!
A shit band can have a great drummer but a great band can never have a shit drummer 😍 RIP Ced.
@@alanbegg Great drummet also in the prog band Druid!!!
Richtig Stephen Morris
Amen
that drummer was a petty cool dude
still so good after all these years, remember 1979 like yesterday, and GN took us all into the future
Sabbath with synths. Listened to this song on repeat. So good.
Great analogy…
Ozzy and Numan also have similar singing styles.
Both unique, powerful and beautiful to listen to 🌹
Paul Gardiner’s bass sounds wicked!! RIP Paul. (Ced too)
He is still alive but changed his name
This record changed my life.
Can you imagine some of the 'stars' masquerading as musicians today coming on a show like this? There's no hiding place. This is pure class.
Jesus Christ why do people always comment this non-sense on any video with music older than like 2010? There was a ton of great music when this track came out, and there’s tons of great music now.
@@seanpratherful right
Also this is most likely pre recorded
@@SENATORPAIN1
All the band's and artists appearing on Old Grey Whistle test were live !
@@SENATORPAIN1OGWT was live, unlike Top of the Pops. That was its selling point. TOTP was for the teeny boppers.
Gary~iconic legendary pioneer. He just keeps evolving & only gets more creative with time. Still relevant today more than ever 🙌♥️🌟
Gary from the beginning. Love all his early stuff,from Tubeway Army,including his solo albums like The Pleasure Principle and Telekon.
Cedric is on fire! 🔥
his drumming really drives this song a makes it a classic.
He was great in the band Druid too, they on here doing song called Voices, album is called Towards the Sun,
@@TheArpomni2 Druid are terrific, I wish I could find something to own by them that wasn't pricey. Their limited merchandise is highly collectable and expensive.
@@ameliawagus6248 I only have their two lps, Towards the Sun and Fluid Druid, wish I still had my Badges I had back in the day, Yes and Druid was my fave bands and still are
Cedric was absolutely amazing
Watching this still gives me goosebumps, I remember when it was aired, it blew me away and still does, absolute class 🎹🎸🎹
All of the Tubeway Army albums are great.
One of my favorite songs by Gary :) It's weird, no matter how scary this world sounds, every time I hear this song I kinda want to go hang out at Zom-zoms for a while.
Masterpiece
make sure to avoid the mach-men and rape machines
There is a short sci-fi story somewhere about a place called "Gadianton Canyon". Zom-zoms reminds me of the cafe in that story it fits perfectly.
@@mr.samurai901 Thanks! I love sci-fi. I think I found it! Gadianton Canyon Space Time Warp. Will read it tonite :)
@@neekerbreeker awesome!!! Tell me how you like it !!
My first ever concert , Ipswich Gaumont 1979 , OMD were the support band .
Ive been a fan of Gary and his music since I was 11, i always wanted to meet him however after my encounter with Gordy White aka Twiggy (his spooky kid groupie name was Gordy) of Marilyn Manson , I was struck aside and afraid to approch any of my heros. Then when I was a stage manager for a stage show for kids, Gary and his family came in, he was humble, down to Earth and genuinly appreciative of me being a fan. Like him I live with Autism and we had an hour long conversation about it before the show started. He restored my faith in humanity that heros dont often forget who put them there and are appreciateve of them.
I still get chills hearing this one what a masterpiece 👍👍👍😜😜😜
Thank god for Gary Numan, Elvis Costello, got me through the late 70s
I remember them being on top of the pops for their first time performing are friends electric, I said to my wife that it would go to number 1 and they were going to be famous and I was right. Seen Gary twice in 85 and 2019, he is still a fantastic act to see.
Wow. My fav , from long ago and still sounds fantastic. Influenced many others.
Fantastic. Still remember all the words. Think that come from playing Replicas to death after I bought it.
Absolutely cool and different ...love the way he dances aanad struts around ...way ahead of his time ..you can see it in his soul and eyes ...his passion for his words ...a genius ,,.,...x💖
I can only imagine how futuristic this sounded back in days.
older generation 30's n up werent ready for it,die hard rock n roll lovers werent either but as an 11-12 yr old at the time frends and me were absolutely captivated by GN,i remember the generation above me complaining that he was ripping off Bowie,i liked Bowie as well,Heroes and Ashes 2 Ashes were ground breaking and huge hits in Australia,Numan was big for a short while but not huge as Bowie was
Brings me back to so many great memories!!!!
"Hey, what are you listening to?"
"Music about machines raping and killing humans for sport..."
"oh, I didn't know you liked that 'Deathmetal' music"
I've seen every Gary Numan gig in London, and sometimes Brighton and Manchester, from 2009 to 2018 (even at the Ben & Jerry festival, Fun Lovin Criminals the day before were great too) when I returned to Buenos Aires. I miss my yearly Numan fix dearly :')
Numan's Touring Principal band had the most iconic line up - Payne, Bell, Gardiner, Sharpley & of course Currie.
Yep, killer band line-up.
The bass guitarist Paul is still alive, in Sunderland. Changed his name to Jim
@@afisher555 Not funny.
Sad, miserable crazy electronic genius , one of his best
Gary Numan. Very, very good live
I genuinely love this song and hope to see Gary next year despite Covid wrecking everything for everyone
He makes me feel comfortable.
So far ahead of his time...👏
The great Billy Currie of Ultravox playing ARP Odyssey synth and Elka Rhapsody String Synth.
Other keyboard player on a MiniMoog.
Drummer Cedric awesome in this Old Grey Whistle Test performance.
"Other keyboard player" is Chris Payne who also wrote Fade to Grey with Billy, along with Cedric.
@@lancegfoin9117and ended up in dead or alive.
Musical Director 🙂@@kenrehill8775
I like the Gary`s freeze moments
Love this song and this performance is 🔥
Funny Disco was at it's peak the year before this😅. Such a contrast to say the least. Gary one of the pioneers from time, like Kraftwerk, Siuoxsie, Bauhaus, Joy Division and others that really started the whole electronic/ goth movement.
Ced was so bad-ass during his time with Numan.
RIP Ced.
This song is like an addiction.
Genius
Best comment ever 😷!
Billy Curry kicks arse on the synths, band is decades ahead of anybody.
R.I.P.....Paul Gardener...Bass.😢
Brilliance.
Masterful. Still makes me feel sad seeing Paul 😩
🖤🖤Gary the legend🖤🖤
Very good drumming and keyboard.
You can almost hear a sense of what Billy Currie would be playing when he/they subsequently reformed Ultravox
Cedric 🖤
Muchas gracias!!!!! Saludos desde Madrid!!!!!!!
I love how the guitar sounds on this live version.
I know Numans material is synth -heavy and I love it but the beefed up guitar on this performance sounds bad ass.
This brings me back there 👍
Best band Gary ever had
RIP CED
Just amazing drummer
@@andreachristensen2798 CED
The legendddd
Thank you.
Que grande Gary!👍👍👍
Now THIS is peak Numan for me. Carried a lot of Ziggy Stardust vibe but with his own style mixed into it.
very similar to David Jones.
exceptional quality
Love everything he does old a new man!
I love it!❤ still
played live love it. very complex song lots of key changes
Billy Currie from Ultravox. What's he doing these days?
These cool analog synth sounds. ARP Odyssey and Minimoog
Always recall the reaction from vocal female singers in Human League watching Tubeway Army…they were amazed…
Like I was there.
Masterpiece
2023 wow❤
Ah yes, can’t wait for Zom-Zom’s to open down in the park!
Awesome
❤😊Yeeall have a Happy Daze now...ya hear?. !!!!!!. 🎉. Enjoy the journey wiseley
I think it's his best song.
This really is his signature song. Not Cars and Not Friends.. even though those are great, too.
Pure class
2.05-2.20 so fucking 😎
I LIKE THE FACT U CAN HEAR THAT..>> THIS IS "1979" SOUND ; ON THE CUSP OF 80`s & WHAT WOULD BECOME KNOWN AS "NEW WAVE " ACTUALLY ALOTTA GREAT, AWESOME 80's ROCK , NEW WAVE GROUPS GOT THEIR START IN THE LATE 70'S . NEW ORDER [ A.KA Joy Division ] , THE CURE, DEPECHE MODE, U2 , BLONDIE Etc Etc Etc
Thought this was a foo fighters song until tonight. Remember it from the x files soundtrack ages ago.
Numan!!
Para mi lo mejor que parió Tubeway Army
My fav Numan track..
David Bowie got all upset about this. The press praised it as "Numan does Bowie, but better"...and he did. This had so much more atmosphere than what David did on Low and Heroes. Those Bowie albums were good, but the synth stuff was rather boring. I was 15 when I first heard Replicas and it blew my mind. Pleasure Principal was also excellent. Telekon was good but a bit of a step down. After that, Numan ventured into the tick-tock jazzy dance music that just fell flat. A few good songs here and there from '82-'85, but not much. His first album is quite good as well..."punk" new wave.
Poor Chris Payne's moog is almost inaudible! Makes for some rather odd bars where Billy Currie's string synth is just megaloud and there's no melody. The performance still works though :)
incredible
Is Billiy Currie at synths????
Yes, that *is* him!😊
YES!
Круто!!!
badass
Rip Cedric
Muy buenos temas de esta agrupacion
🖤✨
Amaze
🖤
❤❤
I had to turn this song off once when i was home alone and high in the 80s 😂 i loved this album but couldn't smoke weed because i was allergic.
Now this is Numan...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
