I was there in the audience, was just writing about this today, I couldn't remember the song Gary sang. You have just confirmed which one. Fantastic memory.
Luv this forgotten Numan song... his attempt at being more standard in his writing... it succeeds but the critics turned sour on him... we never did though, beautiful track
Gary didn't write this shite, Nicholson (aka his band Radio Heart) did. It was during Gary's rough patch when things were going down the pan for him. He would never have done this if he wasn't skint back then.
its so funny watching this clip because its the very performance that i watched that day in 87.the next "performance" was a short comedy piece involving a rambo lookalike complaining to tom o connor about being stopped from entering the hall.hilarious.fantastic video brings back great memories of that time.even my girlfriend of that time said it was a good track.thanks for posting this one.
I still remember the feeling of disappointment when I played the album. Even worse than In Mysterious Ways (John Foxx) and Certain Things Are Likely (Kissing the pink) I think it was ten years before I bought another Numan Album.
I always thought that song was a cover he did. Did you see the audience? I can't imagine some of them buying his records. Still, I think the song is great. It's Cheezy, but great.
Sorry, this is tragic. As for the no Radio 1 airplay, this got played to death, I remember studying with the radio on during the day, was played at least 4 times a day. .Saw poor old Tom O'Connor on Come Dine With Me the other night, he's looking old and frail now :-((
Sorry, I can't see any asychronity. It may depend on your video player and/or your ip bandwith. I also love that song, although this is not really gary's kind of music. But I think he looks great and powerfull.
