Art of Noise - Close (to the Edit) (The Prince's Trust: Produced by Trevor Horn 2004) 

Just perfect, here in 2024 watching a song from 1984 being performed in 2004. Amazing.

Like others have posted, I'm here to see a classic still beautiful tune from 1984. I was 28 when this dropped and this strange band with the most beautiful sounds graced my ears. Been a fan ever since. Yes, this is amazing. Going into my Favs for sure.

Holy crap, this should not be possible, live performances in studio perfection. Professional artists perform perfectly.

"I just need a bass!" That's possibly the biggest understatement Trevor Horn's ever made... 😂🙏❤️

That drumming is insane..listening to the drums it sounds like it is in a constant uptempo..magnificent bass and awesome to see it live.🇦🇺👍

The concentration when Trevor's playing then the look on his face at the end when it went off without a hitch!

I never thought this classic could be played live. Trevor Horn & co proved me wrong. Absolutely fantastic!

Trevor, Anne and the Art of Noise. Simply superb.

Someone wake the crowd, the song has begun.

Great tune, well played by all but *that basswork* 👌

Its now 2024 and this is one of the best since 1984 for me.

That bass is insanely good!

I played this as a DJ for so many people. This performance is so impressive, it literally makes my heart skip beats. Love this.

Terrific....I had completely forgotten, to my shame, just how good this track is. Well done to all.....a classic of the 80's.😊

Seriously one of the coolest songs of all time.

Beautifuuuuul!!!!

This piece meant so much to me as an arty kid back in 1984, especially this fused with Tony Hart. Art of Noise, and this track especially was a major influence on me love of music and making my own.

Never envisioned seeing/hearing a live version of this tune... Too cool.

The energy of the drummers, great show. Fantastic play

I love this track. I didn't realize Trevor was so talented on the bass. I love how this track starts. Trevor is laying down the baseline and then the drummer kicks in and says let's kick it up five notches and kicks up the tempo and that makes everybody smile. That's sort of my favorite parts of this song. Trevor's like yeah bring it. Overall 10 plus

such a treat to have this great classic played live! one of my absolute favorite songs ever

Who needs a Fairlight if you have a band of 25 tight musicians?

awesome...thank you...

My first vinyl was Plastic Age in 1981, was thirteen years old, and after I fall in love of Art Of Noise I eard Yes. Your sound follow me all my life during ❤

Just for the record that the most important thing in Art of Noise was Anne Dudley, she did orchestrations for all the music names ZTT label, she has been making classical, film music for a long time, I'm glad to see her here on stage

So good, so amazing! I loved this song in 1984 and love it today and I love seeing Anne and Trevor perform live in 2004!

They have their own genre, nothing else like it.

It's just so ridiculous how amazing this is

UN. FREAKING. BELIEVABLE!!!

Super bass playing! A great band, top arranger on keys and the deliciousTessa Niles. What more could you want"

Woo-hoo! That was awesome! Forever a fan of Anne.

The music videos that were done back in the day never did this track justice. It's something that has to be experienced live to be truly appreciated. Trevor, Anne, and AoN were all spectacular!

Trevor Horn is friggin brilliant, one of the most prolific producers of the 20th century in my mind, you always knew precisely what to do - as one of my production influences, always was curious about what Tears for Fears would sound like if Horn had gotten ahold of them... Ann Dudley, as certainly a contributing factor, I had to remember just how many hits they had.

Not sure what's better Trevor's bass playing or his smile at the end - thank you for your music maestro

The whole show is amazing start to finish but pulling off Close to the Edit live is mind blowing.

This is brilliant absolutely loved the art of noise especially peter Gunn 😄😄😄😄 Trevor your a legend thanks for the memories 👍👍👍👍👍jx

Amazing musicians!!

If Trevor ever reads these I hope he realises how much of an influence the art of Noise have been on music. Also anybody reading this should check out the Rhythm Scholar remix of Close (to the edit) for one of the finest reworks that I've ever heard.

The trumpets at the end are just petfection!

Brilliant he never makes a mistake

I loved the album - bought it back in the 1980s. I liked the whole album but Close to the Edit was my favourite track.

Absolutely LOVE the Bass.🎸

Insanely good performance of an amazing milestone of a track!

THAT DRUMER IS "KILLING " IT!!! VERY GOOD 👍

This was 20 years after the song was released, and now I’m watching this 20 years later still. I’m not old, nurse.

Wow man, i keep coming back to this great performance. I just love it

That is a helluva good bass job

Pure genius

Utter Perfection!

Damn!! That bass tho!! Always wanted to see someone accomplish that on the bass!!

Art of Noise was so good to hear in the 80'

just fukn ridiculous how phenomenal this performance is

Amazing

I'm so glad I got to see them live with Duane Eddy back then. Trevor was an absolute sample powerhouse producer an aural visionary.

this composition is perfect. this should be the last one that I ever hear.

Excellent! 👏

So good to see you playing with them Trevor, so much fun.

Definitely one of my favourite art of noise tracks sir ❤ especially this live version. 😎👍 Moments in love would be another

Maestro!

Would've been cool to have Chris Squire sing his previously sampled voice live, since he was there.

I love that bass it's thumping for sure

Thanks Trevor Horn!

Thanks for posting 💜💜💜

Fantástico, increíble, espectacular 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WOW! This. is. wonderful.

If I hadn't seen them play with my own eyes, I would have believed they were Aliens. Amazing group of musicians!

L❤ve this & the original. Kickass

That was awesome, one of my favourite tunes from the Rishton Methodist Youth Club 🎉

Come to Tampa Bay Trevor!!! PLEASE!!!!

Loved that album- Moments in Love was the best track for me

I haven't had this song in years

Classic Art Of Noise

Man I love this !!!

Lunga vita a mister Trevor Horne.👏👏👏👏👏

Fantástico bajista. ❤

Just Wow!

This is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

souvenir! souvenir! merci

Awesome

Fabulous.

Class.

Funny to think that Into Battle and Close to the Edit were not immediate hits. They were played mostly by pirate radio stations by scratch DJ's before they got any traction on radio 1.

Wonderful bass player 🎉

random yt hit, amazing lived this band in 80's

I've still got the 12 inch of this record!

Tremendous 👌

Long live Alan White!

Art of Noise top!!!!!

I finally figured out why you call it the Art of Noise. Superb job ❤️BTW: I follow you on Twitter and IG using different names…I didn’t realize I was an old fan until I seen your show at the Greek Theatre on June 7. The Bugles did an outstanding job too…❤️

When I was a kid, I used to think Les Claypool was an awesome bass player, but listening to Trevor, he isn't even close :)

Kudos...my daughter has worked with the Princes trust on secondment with Merseyside fire and rescue service...ch...E❤❤😊😊..

Trevor in the zone.

❤

Literally close to the edit. :)

Trevor Horn is stupidly talented.

over great!

👍👏👏👏👍
