Not much - a lot of junk to sift through. I thought MUSE and Matt Bellamy have some killer chops. And I was born in mid century last Millennium. nk !
Did I miss someone posting the stunning piece of performance art ?
There’s a certain Marvin Gaye song I can’t post here - it basically put the Roland 808 on the map. The synthetic itself was a commercial flop but after that song came out, it quickly became a cult favorite in hip-hop.
This might set the standard for 80s new wave, which was often 100% synthesizers. Not sure what all the equipment is, but that looks like early Yamaha? This was 1981, so it's definitely before the DX7.

Great call but technically it's an electronic organ using the repeat function....
This was using a synthetic though:
Perfect example of an underrated Led Zeplin song!
LOL, most of us are old! Some of us are out of FM antenna range...

Funny, I was going to post that video, but I've never liked that performance. I always thought it looked forced.

It was the second try for The Kids Are Alright greatest hits collection in a one-off venue to get some recent live footage. The first flopped while they were decent in this one. The issue was The Who hadn't been touring recently and that Keith Moon was fading due to his alcohol and drug use. I love Townsend in this one and The Ox is great here as well. But yeah their live performances on tour cannot be touched and they are very canned and mimicky here, but it seems they never ProShot or recorded a show on the Who's Next Tour, which is a shame. There is a ProShot/soundboard bootleg from around 1973 in Texas, but not quite of that era...
I actually like their very underrated Live Aid set, but you have to settle for Kenny Jones on drums and while I like him and think he's a decent drummer, he very clearly ****'s up their set and they miss a verse on this song...

The Yamaha DX-7 drum loop played a major part in one of U2's most iconic songs, augmenting the analog instruments and players rather than replacing them...
