Been here since 1979, will be here till I snuff it. I have always loved the Dance album. Fantastic performance 👏👏 Everyone involved here 👏👏👏👏👏👏 (Gary finally realised that we all love “Stories” )
How very true, His last 3 albums are constantiy being piayed in my car cd. Seen the great man 10 times ( our loss - yanks gain ) Knocks spots off these so called artists of today. You can sing along to his music, or slit your wrists listening to todays bilge. Always look forward to him touring, always puts on a great show.They say things get better with age - certainly is the case with Gary.
Cannot get over how much this group of musicians sound like they’ve been playing these gems acoustically for years. As if just off a world tour. So tight, relaxed, intuitive
I am waiting in the dark Waiting for a dark light To show me the way I am hiding from the world Trapped by my ambition Drowning in my fear You′re welcome to stand in my place You're welcome to feel what I feel You′re welcome to live my life You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns I am walking through the dust Pulling out splinters Of things that never last I am easily forgotten There is always someone Better than the past You're welcome to stand in my place You′re welcome to feel what I feel You′re welcome to live my life You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns You′re welcome You're welcome You′re welcome You're welcome Writer(s): Gary Anthony James Webb Lyrics
Very cool, wonderful renditions. "Gary, sweetheart, please tell your friends to take their shoes off while they are in the house. Ok honey, Gemma, you are the best!"
This is ridiculously good. I wasn’t at Wembley but have been obsessed since 79 and Dance is one of my faves. Great song choice. Too bad he didn’t do this in MTV Unplugged back in the day! Thanks for posting
It would be cool if he could do a mini-tour, playing acoustic sets in small-to-medium clubs, maybe 3 nights at each club. He could easily put together a one or 1 1/2 hour set. (And then release a live album and full concert video, of course.) Thanks so much for posting this video!
How good is this. Could have watched a full set, too many songs to mention would sound amazing with this treatment, what a gem. Roll on Birmingham and Wembley.
OMG they all sound fabulous...Gary's vocals...the band...amazing...Stories was absolutely beautiful...AFE ...epic...Bed Of Thorns...they were ALL amazing...I really think Gary sells himself short as to how bloody good his voice REALLY is ❤️❤️.
I've been a fan since j was a teenager I'm 60 now ! Gary is like fine wine just improves year after year, saw him at Cliff Pavilion waited 1 1/2 at the stage door he wasn't feeling too good got his autograph finally thanks to Gemma i waited all those years to meet him 😮
Just found this. Simply superb. I was 10 years old when I first heard Gary and Tubeway Army. It blew my mind. I wanted a keyboard. I got a keyboard. I wish I could say I was a synth genius but sadly not, but as a 10 year old I played the records and pretended I was the keyboard player.
That was fantastic Gary. I love the fact you put a song from the way underrated Dance album. I would really like to see more of these type of videos from you. Really different but great.
OH Hells ya, more acoustic! Still so freaking talented, so into following his "Gary heart" forward to new things... and yes, he's definitely still relevant today!
Perfect 👌 mood music. I like this version better then the original for “Bed of Thorns”. The Friends acoustic version is definitely my favorite. Stories kinda sounds the same, just a cool updated version. Fingers crossed an a acoustic record like this comes out soon. Like a fan thank you. I’m down with that
I’m a hard core Numan fan from day one ,no one comes close in my book I’ll always will be,he is such an accomplished artist even the best look up to him they know who they are , he deserves the praise and respect from the music industry he needs his star on the boulevard in LA/ # makeithappen
Trent Reznor comes close. Even Gary would agree. They’ve both been heavily inspired by each other’s work. I saw Gary open for NIN once, and he was just as amazing as they are.
This isn't a performance as such, it's just a normal day at Gary Numan's house. As you can see, he's checking his emails while singing 05:00. The other guys actually never leave this room, they just sleep on the floor until the next day... Gary: Morning guys, right let's start with a bit of 'Down in the park' I think, ready? 1 2 3 aand... Keyboard player: Er, mr Numan... could we have some food please? and what have you done with our shoes? Gary: I keep telling you Derek, you don't need shoes in the House of Numan... tell you what, park first. Then maybe 'Music for chameleons' and then I'll get someone to nip down Maccy D's. sweet? Actually can someone open a window it's getting a bit pongy in here... Right, 2 3 4 and...
Me gustaría ver más producciones de calidad cómo estás...gracias compa' por todo lo que haz hecho en la propuesta auténtica y distinta en lo contemporáneo... ...!
Yes, I love it too. It gives the song a new life. Like he just wrote it this year. I enjoy it more then the original. It would have been great as a B side to the original. I really hope he puts this acoustic project out for the holiday season or something. This would make excellent chill music. Couches, coffee and acoustic guitars have this vibe that the world needs to get back into. The late 90’s had the coffee shop scene on point. Starbucks doesn’t give a shit about live music. 😂🥂
Lala Lulu's comment is dead on, Gary, your voice is remarkably intact compare to many people, who we won't name who could no longer hold a note on key at 50. I know you went through some hard times, but your fans in Germany have remained dedicated to you for four decades straight (despite some very childish and just stupid journalists comments about you.) Your view of the world and what we are doing to it is very accurate. Wish everyone had this clarity of vision. Please push Persia to perform more and help her record more material. It is her time to break into the music scene as well. I am sure Raven and Echo Moon have their own talents. Look forward to seeing you live.
