Never really listened to any of Gary's stuff, until Metal showed up in my recommendations underneath the music video for Alice Cooper's New wave phase song "Prettiest Cop on the Block" about 12 years ago. I've been kicking myself in the ass ever since then.
My favourite part of this original song is how he sings it, and I'm so glad he sang it the same way on here! And the new background music sounds really cool, too ^_^
Gary is my favorite artist. He has been since 1980. Since he doesn't tour the US very much and had a 20 year hiatus, I made sure I saw him in 2001 & 2007 when he came through. Both times I was up front right at the stage, so it was awesome! I really love this video and must get the DVD! What an amazing & creative person he is! Keep it up Gary!
I think us numan fans was starved of his earlier stuff in live shows because of him quiting so early numan says he hates retro and reliving it but we all just wanted what we didn't have all those years ago the magic just disappeared to quick thank you for doing it now, forever gary super fan
Awesome version of best track on Telekon Gary's a master of taking his older material and reworking it like this .Chris McCormack nearly bouncing his guitar of the floor love it !
Only Gary could mix electronica with industrial as he does here!!! (Kenickie's tribute was pretty cool too) The lyrics are so from the heart that they will endure for ages to come... the melodies anre taunting, haunting, evocative.. look up the word "noumena", it fits Numan's music so perfectly.
saw the house of blues show in 2001. what a night! would like to see a replic'as, pleasure principle and telekon tour in 09 states side, not to late....
I have been a numanoid since 79, i took my mate to see numan in brighton for the first time, he aint spoke to me since..just kidding..he thought it was a superb show and numan commands the stage with such arrogance..this is by far the best live clip you will ever see..apart from prayer for the unborn, if i am allowed to plug the clip that i filmed, nice work industrial82..
It appears there is not a single female in the audience at this performance. That is bizarre. Is this at a men's prison? LOL. (update: I did notice a couple of gals near the back around 5:05).
mine, of course gary doesn't deliver an absolutely perfect show sometimes, but nobody really does - this is reality, not a fucking high school musical (i'm not saying you can find a perfect show there, just a metaphor, you know). he is more than fifty, still even not regarding his age he is an extraordinary live act. and what he does on telekon dvd is at least godlike, he's in an absolutely perfect shape here. i'm not fond of the stage deco though - too much of a cheap nostalgia.
