Two greats from '84.

I see that Frankie Goes to Hollywood just released a version of 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' with Steve Howe on guitar.... Just went up on YouTube a day ago.

Is it surprising that music that was released 40 years ago might still be enjoyable?

@larsman My understanding is, Steve how was on the 1984 release doing his guitar work. Just a friendly fyi....@tylermunns, I am not sure what you mean, " surprised " ?

@mrdecibel You made a point to note the LPs came out 40 years ago.  
You then used the term, “even today,” as in, “I enjoy (these LPs) even today.”  
It sounded like you found it to be noteworthy or “surprising” that, “even today,” you enjoy these 40-year-old albums.

@mrdecibel - thanks for the correction; it was just the first time I'd seen that... 

Those two were indeed on my hot rotation.

"Body and Soul" continued on my hot rotation for more than a decade after its release, and I listened to it earlier this year.

One of my best concert memories is seeing Joe Jackson perform "Body and Soul" in its entirety in a wonderful old Art Deco theater in Los Angeles. Tremendous experience. Brings a smile to face as I type.

tvad:

I saw JJ (mid 80's) @ The Greek (he was super).

Is that the concert you mention?

DeKay

@dekay, I’m embarrassed to say it was 1989 and we saw him at the Wiltern on the “Blaze of Glory” tour.

The concert I thought I remembered was “Night and Day”.

Man, my brain is going, going… 
 

@tylermunns I know many people who do not listen to 40 year old music. However, I do, and beyond....To everyone. BTW, WTTT, with Mark O"Toole on that bass, is a mighty fine recording to check out one's system's rhythm.
