Sounds better than some others of this tour that have been uploaded, probably because the camera person isn't right on top of it all. I've loved "Stories" for years and had no idea what it was about!
Completely different with Gary telling us what the songs are about, totally agree about Stories, one of my all time favs, & now the story behind it quite sad really 😢♥️
What an incredible setlist. Every Day I Die, Stories (my favorite song by him!), Lost, and I Am Screaming are my favorite songs from their respective albums. Not to mention the first time he played The Life Machine and Crime of Passion live, which are instant classics from the early days. Wish he would've came here to the U. S. but that's alright... hope he releases a live album of this!!
Excellent composure and musicianship by David Brooks, & beautifully complimented by superb arrangements from all band members. I loved the Sacrifice in Metal; Cars was fantastic, and Down in the Park was pure class. Brilliant video.
Ok dont get yourself in a twist with what im about to say , i know Numan fans are overprotective. His music does not work acoustic in my view . I would find it hard to sit through a full gig of this , get the synths back front and centre .
Though I have to agree that his full synth shows are epic and Numan at his best, this was a pleasant evening where Gary and the band provided an intimate and affectionate performance, Gary was very self effacing and quite funny ( who knew) do I want this to be his new regular thing ? No Was it a great night that I am glad I went to ? Yes absolutely. If he did another acoustic tour as suggested with more of a string section and a few other classical orchestra? You bet I would. But yeah don’t abandon the full on synth shows ! They make my world a better place.
