What a guy, what a vibe, what a talent, what an accent. T-shirt, shorts, sandals, smoking on stage - Roddy Frame is the epitome pretension-free coolness. And a massively talented musician. He gave my high school days a highly memorable soundtrack. His music lives stronger now that I'm in my middle age.
I heard he was 17. I guess it doesn't really matter. He and Paul Weller, who I believe was 17. Such rare Genius. And amerikkka barely knows either. Shame...😢
¡¡Qué enorme espacio La Edad de Oro!!, de allí salieron estos enclenques británicos, así como CHINA CRISIS, ILEGALES, RADIO FUTURA, DANZA INVISIBLE, GOLPES BAJOS...,etc,etc,etc.¡¡¡ Eso si era un espacio de calidad en en la tv ESPAÑOLA !!!
Roddy is a pure genius. What an amazing recording. Such sound quality and the music is, of course, stunning. Thanks so much for sharing this. His voice has always been wonderful and I've seen him play live many times but I saw him in Birmingham last week and his tone has never been better. Truly right up there as one of the best singer songwriters ever.
Aztec Camera at their best: songs that still sound fresh, relevant...timeless. What a joy! Thanks for sharing this document of a band and an "auteur" at their peak.
Roddy ...Con talento .guapo....y tocando la mejor musica....El Rock 80'..... que más pedir.......esto es vivir.. arriba la buena y exquisita música......... Walk out to Winter ....la mejor de lejos....
El disco "Stray" lo gasté llevo casi 20 años seguidos de escucha. Después para mi gusto viene "Knife". Adoro esta banda un saludo para todos sus seguidores desde Buenos Aires Argentina.-
Who knew my love for Roddy Frame and Aztec Camera would span nearly 30 years and still going strong. I thank the gods my mama gave me the money to go see him twice in my lifetime (both in the early 90s). Never was there a more giddy and giggly 14 year old girl than me.
Aztec Camera released several of my most favorite albums of that period. There was no escaping the infectious nature of their songs. My god what I would have given to have seen them live in concert.
Para mí aquel programa de la Edad de Oro....aquella noche era de ORO....para poder verlo tuve que discutir con mi padre.....al final se vino a razones.......por nada del mundo me lo podía perder....escuche todas las conciomes con verdadera reverencia.......y aún hoy día ...las sigo escuchando.....
I never knew about Roddy Frame, I've heard there's been a band called Aztec Camera, now I've found out what a brilliant bunch of talented people they are.
That's right. But actually they changed their line-up almost with every new album. Aztec Camera has always basically been a solo project of Roddy's. Maybe not yet in those early years, but from the late 80s onwards for sure.
I was lucky enough to see them at Bimbos in San Francisco with dear friends around this time. Great venue for them and one of the best concerts no one has ever seen.
Un grupo muy chulo de los primeros 80, que respiraba modernidad, muy bien valorado por la crítica musical de esos años, que después cayó en el olvido, pero eso ya es otra historia. Gracias por rescatarlos
Friend, I think there are many of us who were so fortunate to learn, hear and see Great Bands like this from yester year. I saw most of my favorites back in the 80's and am great full because all these great bands will never be in oblivion. Never.❤
How young they look here and sound like veterans, remind me of actual The 1975 young and talented sounding amazing Live!! People, there's still great music and great musicians nowadays!
Joder, 20 añitos tenía Roddy, y ya había hecho maravillas con el primer álbum año, u año y pico, antes. Yo a los 19/20 valía para darme una patada y tirarme a un hoyo...
Una carrera tan breve como genial. Recuerdo rebobinar una y otra vez el casette para escuchar "Head is happy" "Just like the USA" "Oblivious" y "High land, hard rain". Sus dos primeros elepés, High land, hard rain y Knife, por su elegancia musical y originalidad son dos joyas que los sitúan en el Olimpo de la música de los 80... y eso es mucho decir... PD: Paloma Chamorro...you´ll always be there
Being a child of the 70's, I had a hard time adjusting to the cultural shift of the 80's-especially the music. I could ignore it all until I hooked up with a much younger girlfriend in 1985 who cut her hair, colored it and had ear-piercings and even a nose ring. Anyway, I had to pretend to like the punk and new wave garbage she was into, but I did like The Police, Talking Heads and especially Aztec Camera, which was the BIG discovery for me! I said one night when she finally got to a couple of Aztec Camera tapes at the bottom of her record and cassette pile, "Why Didn't You Start With THIS? I was hoping we could see them on this side of the Atlantic, but I don't think they ever made it over here. Anyway, great memories from a long time ago now whenever I play these songs now!
¡Qué bueno La Edad de Oro! Me acuerdo de que en el programa de Echo & The Bunnymen Paloma Chamorro le pregunta a Ian McCulloch ---más o menos--- qué porqué sonaban tan frescos, y va y este le responde: "porque nos cambiamos los calzoncillos todos los días" :-)
I miss Ian and those Bunnymen! No other front man was so caustic and rightfully full of himself and that Band. Greatest 4 albums they created with each just getting better and Better.😊😊❤
I love Roddy’s guitar solo on We could Send Letters but it’s nearly drowned out by the keyboard. The solo has a bit of Leila (Clapton, Cream) angst and yearning
mi adolescencia es escuchar el "knife" a todas horas,y pasarme el dia haciendome la típica pregunta de por qué ella prefiere a mi amigo y no a mí...quien pudiera volver a aquella época para ajustar cuentas...
Yeah, groups like The Jam, Prefab Sprout, the Go-Betweens could not really make it here in the US. R.E.M. is an exception but having seen them from Reckoning thru their next 3 or 4 albums, they certainly changed their sound. I'm trying to say that sensitive singer/songwriters of this ilk just didn't really have a real place here in the states. Elvis Costello and the Attractions were an exception. Joe Jackson only had one massive hit album here, Night and Day. The music industry can be summed up in Costello's "Radio Radio". Just some thoughts...
@@qwj68boots They were just different, this was the early 80's and I was around the same age as Roddy. I know he also was influenced by the punk scene as a lot of us were, but he just found his own way, like so many other artists in the 80's.
De mis grupos favoritos. Roddy Frame genio. Sus tres primeros discos una maravilla. Música que suena hoy muy bien.
The bass player, Campbell Owens, teaches me bass at college in Glasgow. Legend.
He was a great guy when we went to school in East Kilbride, back in the 70s.

This band, Roddy Frame/Aztec camera….still a cool drink of water! 😎✌🏼
Incredible musicianship! Roddy's a legend and that backing band is fantastic! Underrated!!
This should have 10 Million views
It hardly will. That's the way things go, unfortunately.
Roddy Frame was 18 when he wrote High Land and Hard Rain and Knife a year later. I always loved his Dreamland album in '93.
I heard he was 17. I guess it doesn't really matter. He and Paul Weller, who I believe was 17. Such rare Genius. And amerikkka barely knows either. Shame...😢
I think he wrote stuff like Just Like Gold when he was 15, recorded with Postcard the following year.
The don't call him The Boy Wonder for nothing!
La Edad de Oro is still today one of the best Music TV Show we have had in Spain, greatest bands and spectacular sound .

Those were the days😍magic 80s
中学のとき大好きだったAztec Camara
やっばりロディフレイムは天才だった
日本人聴いてるか?
Roddy is only 20 years -- feeling blessed to have seen Aztec Camera in the 80s.
The sound of my 18 yo... Roddy is talented, handsome and humble..
Still love his music.. just makes me a bit sad

The best live performance of Aztec Camera

Incredible live quality, not easy to find nowadays. Thanks for posting this jewel of the 80´s
Admired this guy and his music for over 30 years now, such a talent!
Jump has been one of my favorite cover songs ever for years but I have never seen him do this live. Even better live than on the record!
Para mí aquel programa de la Edad de Oro....aquella noche era de ORO....para poder verlo tuve que discutir con mi padre.....al final se vino a razones.......por nada del mundo me lo podía perder....escuche todas las conciomes con verdadera reverencia.......y aún hoy día ...las sigo escuchando.....
Una sola tele en el salón, ese era el problema, uno las pasaba canutas para cambiar, la primera cadena era sagrada... Saludos.
Buenísimos....genial el concierto en vivo, Gracias!! una perla!
Makes me cry. Amazing quality considering how old this is.
I saw then in Irvine, Ca. that year. They were introduced (opened) by Elvis Costello. A great show.
that's freaking LIVE... such a beautiful voice

Uno de los mejores grupos de los 80. Frescura y ganas de bailar. Qué gusto oírlos.
Great band, great singer-songwriter!
I was lucky enough to see them at Bimbos in San Francisco with dear friends around this time. Great venue for them and one of the best concerts no one has ever seen.
Menudos recuerdos que grande Roddy y que joya de concierto La Edad de Oro si señor que jóvenes y que modernos fuimos.....4everyoung🛸🎶🎧💯🙌
y sigue sonando tan fresco como entonces, guitarras limpias, buenas letras
I remember the thrill of hearing a band that had acoustic guitar at the forefront, when evrything else you heard was keyboard- and synth driven
Severely underrated band
How did this fella not become absolutely massive. Saw them a good few times around Scotland in the 80s.
Maravilloso concierto tantos buenos recuerdos.Joven y guapo Roddy Frame
he sings good in live concerts not like other bands even to this day he still sings perfect!

Man...one of the greatest post here on you tube...im a huge Aztec fan in the 80s!!!
Briliant!
I am going 34 years back in time and the music still feels as it felt then. Brilliant songs and such a cute Roddy. Thanks very much for posting this!
I must’ve watched this more than 100 times, I watch this at least once a day. Straight brilliant and inspirational
pure talent from these fellas
Qué sonido y que voz más personal. Aztec Camera uno de mis grupos favoritos de mis añorados años 80
Joder, 20 añitos tenía Roddy, y ya había hecho maravillas con el primer álbum año, u año y pico, antes. Yo a los 19/20 valía para darme una patada y tirarme a un hoyo...
gran concierto, gran calidad musical, todo muy cuidado y elegante. una joya! gracias por compartir :-)
What a talent, takes me back, many many many thanks for posting this superb artist !
Aztec Camera. What do you say? Beautiful. I have been in love with their music since I was 17.
same
Buena calidad, creatividad y honestidad artística. Que mas se puede pedir!
Such a underrated and underappreciated band.
40 years ago! in 1984, to say 40 years ago was to be in WW2. Mind is blown. Love A.C. and Pale Fountains, too.
Love their version of Jump!
Mejor grupo de los 80. Frescura y ganas de bailar. Pasarlo bien. Esto es lo que nos gusta.
Manu...THANK YOU for posting this whole show! Wonderful!
Thanks......

If you are referring to this side of the Atlantic, meaning the states, they came to the Ritz in NYC in 1990 to support Stray. Saw them. Great show.
Un capo total Roddy y Aztec Camera!
Thank you, beautiful songs, love Roddy
Gracias por subirlo, he viajado al pasado viéndome entre el público con 16 añitos, 34 años después.
Loving the slower We Could Send Letters
Thank you for this! I love Roddy! Prolific.
thanks for sharing/obrigado por compartilhar ❤️
Ой мама мия, как они хороши,особенно Робби,просто мой краш из 80х!❤
Wonderful, thank you for posting.
Brilliant..thanks for posting!
Sooo good!! Thanks so much!! Just wonderful
joder me has tocado la fibra con este concierto,mil gracias
Great post Manu.
Wow! Muchísimas gracias!!!
De nada. Un saludo.
Esto es oro. Gracias Manu.

Una pasada. Gracias
Gracias
Bellissima
Aztec! oh yeah!
I love Roddy’s guitar solo on We could Send Letters but it’s nearly drowned out by the keyboard. The solo has a bit of Leila (Clapton, Cream) angst and yearning
And just think, this Genius had his own band at 17!!!
Never seen this before. I'm genuinely loving it. Shame the audience look like they died on their feet.
SilentLD yeah, what’s up with that audience? It’s like they don’t know who the band is?
Still On Fire
Oblivious
Walk Out To Winter
Down The Dip
Jump
Great songs.
Roddy dressed like a 90s guy
Honey He was definitely ahead of his time. :)
@@michaelvincentgaddi3158 yea he's ace
i love his outfit
One of the greatest of all time who didn't have a choice but to be crushed by competing interests(Suits)
mi adolescencia es escuchar el "knife" a todas horas,y pasarme el dia haciendome la típica pregunta de por qué ella prefiere a mi amigo y no a mí...quien pudiera volver a aquella época para ajustar cuentas...
Too right. Ah, those adolescent daze...
classic!
he's so damn sultry
lindo som do knife.roddy estava inspirado para compor essa pérola
Treasure.
BRAVO
"Somewhere in my heart" :-)
Not even half way through this. "The Bugle Sounds Again" so freakin' good it's ridiculous. Could they be more perfect live? Shit.
Roddy The Boy Wonders Frame
Если бы можно было сесть в машину времени и прикатить в 1984 год на тот концерт, это было бы нереально круто!Обожаю эту группу!
How that guy looks and sound like 90´s band? Ahead of this time.
I agree. Roddy was almost too talented and ahead of the curve to be mega-successful at the time.
Yeah, groups like The Jam, Prefab Sprout, the Go-Betweens could not really make it here in the US. R.E.M. is an exception but having seen them from Reckoning thru their next 3 or 4 albums, they certainly changed their sound.

The music industry can be summed up in Costello's "Radio Radio".
Just some thoughts...
Frame was a bit early with his music, this is more like the 90's than 80's. That brain must have been working hard.
I loved a lot of groups from the 1980's and a tad earlier. Please explain if you have time as I'm curious.
@@qwj68boots They were just different, this was the early 80's and I was around the same age as Roddy. I know he also was influenced by the punk scene as a lot of us were, but he just found his own way, like so many other artists in the 80's.

feels like teen spirit..
