Early Zimmer

Hi, Just saw the video of The Buggles "Video killed the radio star" from 1979 and I do believe thats Hans Zimmer playing second Keyboards in th last minute or so of the video!

Are you sure that's not Geoff Downes :) I think Zimmer would be more of a Yes-person than a Buggles-person. But I don't think he played with either. Perhaps Trevor Horn would know?
Best,

I haven't seen that video, but what is true is that Zimmer worked as arranger and music producer in that song of The Buggles.

So, it could be.

I've just seen the video on Youtube and I think you are right. The second Keyboardist at the end of the video looks like a thin version of Hans Zimmer.
Interesting discovery, Gerry.

Regards,
Angel

This appearance is also mentioned in Zimmer's Wikipedia entry.
