- So this is a bit special.
We were filming The Producers - a supergroup comprising of Trevor Horn, Lol Créme, Stephen Lipson and Ash Soan - when discussion turned to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's immortal Two Tribes, specifically whether Mark O'Toole of the band played the full, extremely difficult bassline live or not.
And then, these incredible men who have made some of the greatest pop records of all time played Two Tribes - the record they originally produced, engineered and played on. And here it is.
Blimey.
The Producers - Made In Basing Street is out on June 25.
PS. That's Julian Hinton on keyboard.

To someone who's 56 and has several 12" mixes of the original from the 1980's, this is just an unbelievable treat. Puts a whole new perspective on my 20's and makes me think about the passing years. Trevor Horn - don't ever stop.
I remember those mixes. Every 3 weeks they came out with a new 12" mix and I was there buying them.
Same here. Got a few at home in Yorkshire.
This is a song that changed my view of life as a kid :)
You wrote this five years ago, and I'm now 58, so I feel like I know you. Saw them live 38 years ago. One of the most memorable concerts I've ever been to. Irvine Meadows 1985, Orange County, California. I was in the 10th row in the middle, and Frankie comes on for their encore. 'We want everyone to come closer," they say before they start the encore. So everybody obliges, me included. Instead of 10th row, I'm now third row standing on the arms of the chairs hanging on to my buddy Reuben when they start playing "Relax" again. Absolute chaos. People rushing the stage, jumping on stage. They finish the song, the band runs off the stage, they turn on the house lights and announce "Everybody go home." LMMFAO. Yeah, right. Band members were getting knocked over and swarmed, so I get stopping the concert, but Frankie was the one who told us to get closer. Not our fault.
please.. find the twelves inches mix album.. you will enjoy !
I'm surprised the walls didn't melt due to the amount of talent radiating through that room
Lol Crème alone!
Mr. Horn you are a genius.
SJaddy correct. He kinda exploited FGTH although there is no doubt his productions are immensely good. He lost his court case against Holly Johnson over it. ZTT really underpaid FGTH to maximise cashing in on Horn. That’s why if you go to I tunes and try to buy the long (best) version of welcome to the pleasuredome with the simply BREATHTAKING baseline, you cannot buy the single only the album. That’s not FGTH that’s all about ZTT music. So Horn enriches and adds his genius to it but he really ended up screwing them over. Horns wife was a businesswoman. Pretty ruthless by all accounts. Heartbreaking story of genius level talent clashing with someone else’s original idea. But the music was just incredible. To think it was all made around 1984 is pretty impressive. Frankie was an incredibly underrated band generally. And it was all over after 4 years. All I got told as a kid were they were gay. So I was t interested due to the uncool factor but my dad always said the bass lines in Frankie were another level. He was right.
@@brosephyolonarovichstalin2915 was it mark o'toole on bass? People said they used session musicians but that may have been jealousy, at the time it was cool to hate on FGTH
@@richardclarke376 On the recording, probably not. At one point Norman Watt Roy from the Blockheads recorded bass parts for the first FGTH album, but the end result was so heavily sampled, processed and buggered-about-with that who/what actually 'played' bass on the recording is uncertain. However, skip to 10m20s in this - ruclips.net/video/AbCEF4sYSiY/видео.html - for proof that M O'T is perfectly capable of playing it!
I second that!
Stumbled on something absolutely priceless.... WOW!!!
He is, and always will be, the Absolute Master. His sound defined a decade and still resonates to this day. You always know when you're listening to a Trevor Horn choon!
listen to "videoteque by dollar" its an underrated belter... got some fairlight loveliness and superb old sampling...
ruclips.net/video/wjS_zZw_bc4/видео.html
@@Tacsmoker 'Videoteque' is solid gold Trevor Horn. Always a favourite of mine.
The dude with the bass reminds me of someone I knew in the 80's. How the mind buggles....
jutubaeh Better jokes are available for a small fee.
yes...Thomas Dolby..
I think its Dobley...
I'm here till Tuesday - try the fish....!
Yeah....but didnt he killed that Radio Star ???
Yes he was the guy from Dire Rates
Love finding nuggets like these on RUclips. Some unbelievable talent here
Your right there pal😊🤘
Wish i’d put a £ to the side for everytime i came back to watch and listen to this. Pure artistry!
Same! Artistry and I think alchemy. Oh to see some musicians playing live.
Lol Créme's grin is infectious, what a great sound they make. Thanks for the upload!
They did this at Cornbury Festival (Oxfordshire about 2016) and it was amazing. They then brought out Seal (he was brilliant) and Stuart Copeland (The Police drummer - OMG!) - the best two hours I've ever had at a festival. They finished on Relax!! Wonderful, wonderful! Will never, ever forget that Saturday afternoon at 2.45pm!!!
They did, I was there. But, Seal didn't sing the FGTH songs because he didn't wanna sing about gay sex I presume, Ryan Molloy did, who'd done the Frankie reform gig. He did an ace job.
Can't get that bass out of my head. I've been humming it for days now. One of my great memories of the 80's.
That’s a fabulous bass sound from Trevor Horn - the original producer of Two Tribes - Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Horn made some great music ! The Power Of Love - is a masterpiece. Cheers 🥂
For anyone my age this was iconic, Frankie were truly unique ... 😎
Yup, I was 14 when this group seemingly came out of nowhere. Mind blowing for me and all my school mates. Still got the original first album, and a few 12 inch singles, all highly treasured.
Now you know who masterminded it
@@graemeraw8894
Yeah.
Paul Morley.
Wonderful piece of music.
Good to see Lol Creme is still alive and well. Always been a big 10CC fan
That 5 string bass of Trevors has an amazing sound!
Playing with a plectrum definitely helps
Carruthers bass
Just what I was thinking
My cheap Ibanez would probably sound amazing in his hands too :D
Probably brand new strings. Even my relatively cheapo Sire 5 string bass sounds great with new strings. ANd probably other pretty good outboard gear, too.
Pure gold! What an amazing video, thanks x
I have the original Fairlight sequence which I found when I acquired Alan Parsons' Fairlight Series IIx around 1987. It consisted of just the bass and drum tracks, but was a superb piece of programming.
Look, children….. REAL MUSICIANS !!!
not a computer keyboard to be seen !
@@yidarmy3916 Excuse me , there is a lot of computers going on btw!
There are some things that are so good in life, no one can change the fact that you heard them. I'm going to be grinning all week
Now that sounds just superb. Thanks for posting.
Great Great job Mr Producers ! Keep still making beautiful things !
Wow- just wow! This sounds sensational!! Takes me back….
Well, that's made my year....so far. Loved it
Trevor Horn. What a talent. So underrated.
Hahahaha, Trevor Horn is and was never underrated my friend because he's one of the biggest and best producers and musicians this planet has ever seen.
He is a music God!
video killed the radio star wasn't really underrated though
More talented than the band that faked it.
Here it is the ubiquitous _"underrated"_ comment on every You Tube video...
So much talent in one room - I'm astonished that the walls didn't melt.
How the guy on shaker can keep such flawless timing to that rhythm I don't know.
Exactly what i was thinking.
It's a robot arm
How do you know a drummer is at your door?
The knocking speeds up !
He gets a rest at 2:40
i can manage about 5 minutes shaking my wrist and
thats after years of practice
Fucking brilliant, gentlemen! I saw Frankie in 1985 at Irvine Meadows in Orange County, California, and it was one of the greatest concerts I ever went to (and I was at the Depeche Mode 101 concert in 1988 at the Rose Bowl). Thank you for your contribution to the enjoyment of a great band.
I like this very much. Only 9 years too late! lol
Absolutely fantastic. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear this. Fabulous musicians.
Love that RUclips throws up suggestions like this. Old man rockers live jam showing everyone else how to do it. So great to see Lol Creme in action, and Trevor Horn on the bass is genius, but how do you keep that bloody shaker going so perfectly?? Brilliant!
Holy wow what is this? So glad I stumbled on it. Fantastic!!!
Wow. Thank you for the music Mr Horn. I’d never heard of you until I saw Video Killed the Radio Star....and then you suddenly appear as a member of my favourite Prog Rock band Yes and my eyes were opened. Saw you with Yes a couple of years or so back with Yes again in the Albert Hall. Brilliant.
A nice little fun fact: Video killed the radio star was the very first video on MTV.
And when you want to know what a superb perfectionist Trevor Horn is, then watch this: ruclips.net/video/Zm0QQDMoRPU/видео.html
Trevor Horn and Lol Creme what a combo!
If I could play like that I wouldn't go out at night 👍👍
How music should be enjoyed! Love that Lol smile. Always my favourite he just had fun😎
Just found this,absolutely brilliant 👍🤘❤
Trevor Horn : The Master of epic sound production.
Wowza completely mind blowing I saw FGTH live at Newcastle City Hall in 1985 and two tribes has always been a massive favourite of mine and to see this video gives me goosebumps, Trevor Horn you are a genius!
Stunning, no other word for it. Well, maybe mesmerising...
Dang, that’s tight, y’all! These are amazing musicians. They just picked it up and took off as if there was no gap in time. What a gift.
Oh God! I have gone to heaven! TH has and will always be one of the best Bass players ever, up there with Harris, Miller, Claypool, et al. Thank you for posting.
norman watt roy wrote the bass line

Don't you just love the sound of a bass guitar!!!
yes.great sound,the foundation of any band.
Yep. Why I've been playing bass for 10 years..
@@Neodude991 good.
the godlike Bass guitar
I play 4 instruments...people are baffled when I say bass is my favorite.
Amazing. Trever Horn an awesome talent.
So very cool! It's like the Tubular Bells live version. Never knew this existed. Thanks for posting it!
what a great insight to that album x thank you its a huge lesson in song writing xx
AWESOME MATERIAL !!! thanks for sharing !
brilliant - no other words needed! ...
How did this not become more popular earlier, just amazing
So so glad to see lol creme again from 10cc fame.
all this talent here just UN GODLEY!!
Every time I see him I get angry. Mix the artistic ideas from the next three Godley & Creme albums after separation with the lushness of the next three 10cc releases... it it it ... noooooo
Lol Creme is my hero
Utterly fantastic !!!!!! Not many people understand that the finished song that takes the world by storm is the skill and talents of the producers who cut, chop, rearrange and change sounds etc to make the finished product we know. Such unsung Hero's
Awesome performance, thanks for posting. Brought back some happy memories for me, I was a studio manager at Sarm for a couple of years around the time of the second Frankie album.
Excellent! God bless musicians like these guys!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Killer bass sound!
excellent, its so nice to hear a jam like that
Why haven't I seen this until now? This made my day!
THIS ..... is just fookin' AWESOME :]
Brilliant - thanks for this
Good god, this is fantastic!!!!!!!
It might have looked easy but the thing that impressed me most from this performance of musical geniuses, was the guy on the shaker. Man, his timing was like a drum machine - every beat right on!
“Show him how it must be done.” Wow does he ever!
Real Supergroup! Famous artists!Their first album is perfect!
Thank you Trevor Horn for this gold!!!!
This is top class musicianship, with a masterful performance on bass from old Horny. Would love to see more.
excellent !!
2023+ tribes are coming back !
This is brilliant
So beautiful!
Without a shadow of a doubt the second best produced single in musical history.
Welcome to the Pleasuredome was the first.
in your opinion
@@coolhand1966 refute it.
Omg, that's amazing.😮 ❤
This is just... wow! Epic! ♥
Nice to see musicians that go ahead and just embrace their inner grandpa.
Trevor Horn, respect for the best producer ever…I love every record he produced, his signature is always recognizable ❤❤
Brilliant...all great musicians.
Killer bass sound!
How the guy on shaker can keep such flawless timing to that rhythm I don't know.
How utterly marvellous
Wow! stripped back with Trevors massive bass,, Superb!!!!!
Bravo....simply brilliant
Great sound. Could hear it all day long...
the 12" version (annihalation) is still one of my favourite tunes, as is 12" of relax so i wouldn't take anything away from Trevor but for Two Tribes every single musical element (chords, melody, arrangement including all the main riffs, rhythm/tempo, lyrics) are all there, unarguably, in that 1982 recording of it. Trevor, along with possibly as much input from Steve Lipson, used the most expensive musical equipment on the go for their input, and Trevor acknowledges the power of the raw product.
Absolutely. Not sure what they remember but the bass line on the Peel session (before Trevor had heard of them) has the bass playing the riff exactly as they copied it for the record albeit on a 4-string bass. ruclips.net/video/NJfhRun7394/видео.html
Carnage!
Trevor Horn is a true music genius (the others aren't too shabby either) who has been behind so many great tunes from YES to Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Buggles and t.A.T.u.
I had this stupid smile on my face listening/watching this took me back...
Mid '80's, Melbourne, Chapel St., Central Station Records. So many vinyl EP remixes of Two Tribes it was hard to keep up. But fun trying. Pure marketing brilliance by ZTT label, which released the song.
It is the likes of Trance & Dance these days but thank you Trevor Horn et al. for the awesome toons.
Pablo Escobar t.a.T.u ?
Just superb. Honestly, superb.
Great great sound
how can anyone there think this would become a classic hit?
that coda at 2:30 is always so hopeful and euphoric and in context provokes the jingoism the lyric then confirms. " TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU'RE WINNING". ir's a bit beatles in India too, right?
Now that is a monster bass sound... and a monster lineup!
fantastic Trevor !
"You rely on luck for that one!" cracked me up, as if any of these dudes ever had to rely on that to pull out such fantastic music.
i thought he had said "relied on electricity for that one"...
So cool seeing the old geezers creating a badass sound and music for a generation decades younger than they.
A small hint look who produced FGTH
So ridiculously good, I could listen to that bassline forever
You probably already know this, but just in case ... ruclips.net/video/AbCEF4sYSiY/видео.html 🙂
ruclips.net/video/aKy5xl44dRI/видео.html
Fantabulous, of course, but how much fun is Lol Créme having! So joyous to watch.
Never expected to see such musicianship from producers. Excellent.
I heard this on the wireless back in '84,ooh a hoo,it was fantastic
Some of the greatest producers and musical visionaries of popular music ever together in a live performance. Thanks so much for digging and upping!
83/84? I played the 12" version in my bedroom, turned up to 11 with the window open. Still have it. Starts with the air raid warning. :-)
My mum ran in from the back garden, straight upstairs and though WWIII was about to happen. When she realised it was my record, she went f-ing mental at me!
Then you see these musicians really, really enjoying themselves (and not Frankie goes to HW), and I just know it was worth the unitentional bollocking back then.
I'll send her a link to this as it's sort of happy and brilliant music.
Classic! She must have been totally petrified!
My brother did similar thing with Billy Joel's Glasshouses (sound of smashing glass). Likewise my Dad went bananas. The 1980s and all the memories... 🤣😭 FgtH were just phenomenal - I was in the sixth form when this came out. think I'll get out both albums today - but not turn up to 11 - neighbours and all that grown-up stuff...
Love this so much.
oooooooooohhhhh my god!!!!!!!!!
This is really great. Thx a lot!!!;)))
4 blokes you would love to have a pint with. Amazing musicians.
WOW! Just discovered this! Amazing!
Oh wow!Trevor Horn is one of my fave bass players, but I've never seen him play!
Wow this is a great version of the 80’s classic!
Talent at its best.
