UK instrumental band SKY playing electric treatment of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor". Group specialised in fusing a variety of musical styles including light rock, progressive rock, classical and jazz. Audio version appeared on the band's second album "Sky 2" released in 1980. The latter was released as a single (under the name of "Toccata") and reached number 6 in the national pop charts, giving the band the opportunity of performing on Top Of The Pops.

Still sounds great in 2019 who agrees ?

No flashy effects, no dramatic posing, just pure musicianship. Hardly surprising when the line up is one of the world's top classical guitarists plus four of the UK's top session musicians. I was lucky enough to see them live.

What a classic this was! Still sounds awesome even today. Made No.5 in April 1980. To all that auto tuning, lip syncing talentless crap we listen to today, this is what real talent sounds like!

I just love watching the drummer have the time of his life.

I just want to point out that John Williams is basically shredding on an acoustic guitar. Absolutely epic, the lot of them.

I watched this clip for the first time in 1988. Today is 2024. I still watch this clip with the same enthusiasm.

@MalcolmRandall

So this is where the Gyruss arcade game song came from!

@AenesidemusOZ

Blew me away when it was first released 43 years ago and is still hanging in there.

Can you believe that this is over 40 years old as of 24th February 2023. Still gets the feet tapping.

This is absolutely awesome now in 2022, majestic music, irreplaceable!!

Composed by Bach, performed by Sky. It doesn't get any better than that!

If anyone asks the meaning of a Supergroup.....this is the answer.

@andycuthbert2763

Tristan Fry-now that’s what I call a drummer-fantastic-power, timing n sheer enjoyment!

Wow!! I see five musicians totally enjoying themselves playing a superb version of the Bach original. These are awesome real people--not marketing minions harassed by greedy managers, putting on a show for the sake of maximum profit, but playing a piece of music with a discernible melody (unlike today's lackluster tunes) and having fun doing it. Love the kid on drums--he's with it heart and soul. Go SKY!!
