Strange as it sounds I only thought they had a video for "Make you Dance"
I wonder if there is a video for "computer love"? Off to youtube I go

THIS is the footage i've looked-out for so long , Good hunting Pill
Besides the I Can Make You Dance-vid , this is the other early footage i've seen so far , with those golden shiny suits
... and them horns are SHARP !


This is the early formation , including the powervoice of "Bad" Bobby Glover ( on the far left ) .
I wanted to place another classic photo here , which can/could only be seen on the slide-show from their own site , www.zapptown.com , but it didn't appear for some reason .

Anyway , like i mentioned the horns before . That was the tight add on their early shows . In later shows ( like the one in BET ) , the synths unfortunately had taken over the brass-parts .
Guess this was a well thought-over decision of Roger , because with the 1985 album , he took the ZAPP-sound to a more computer & synth-level .
I remember seeing them @ first in 1988 . Only his late son , Roger "Lynch"Troutman Jr. , had a saxophone , which wasn't used that much .
The show was slammin' though , but those uplifting horn-section was missing a little .
