@@massmurggor4108 Anymore, people are living well into their 80's and 90's. I would accept 62 is middle-aged, even the high side but I don't think one should consider that old. Then again, I'm of the belief age is just a number. How old would you be if you didn't know your ACTUAL age? Think Tom Cruise. He's 61: as of this writing. I don't think anyone would think to call him old. Rob Lowe, 59. Keanu Reeves, 58. Angela Bassett at 64 now MIGHT be showing her age, but I'd guess she doesn't feel it. Steve Martin at 77 and William Shatner at 92... YES, the gray hair would help one to say they're old, but doggone they put people half their age to shame! 😂 I put it back on: It's how you live your life. Age is just a meaningless number. I hope your number grows and grows.❤
@@WaltDittrich It is not old too much but it is period of becoming old. Not even middle-aged. About 45-50 is middle aged, even 40 is middle-aged but 62 is old.
I used to stand outside the some bizarre record building back in the 80’s. Met Marc and Dave many times. I was there at the O2......it cannot be the last time. Absolutely incredible
Looking forward to seeing them on the common in Southampton this summer. Non stop erotic cabaret is, for me, one of the top 2, if not 1, early 80s electronic albums. Cheers to Mark and Dave.
I special ordered the 10" of Bedsitter back in 82. Facility Girls was the b side. Still my favorite Soft Cell song. I saw Marc in 2018 in LA with Blondie/Berlin/Dolby/Adam Ant as a solo act so didn't get to see Dave nor hear this song there. Thanks for the post :)
Outstanding is an understatement. This is right up there with their (then) last show in Jan 84 at Hammersmith Palais. Two completely different shows but very special in different ways for me. Oh.. and who's the idiot that gave this a thumbs down??
I remember that time in the early Eighties. Lennon was brutally killed senselessly and optimism for the new decade was gone as a result. It took the wind out of the Sails. Lennon had good thoughts about the new decade and returned to music with a new album to return only to get gunned down and it shattered the Beatle dream once and for all. He sang about starting over but instead his life was over. Back in the Seventies, on the live comedy show SNL, they joked about reuniting the Beatles and offered them $3000 to come on SNL. They didn’t know that Lennon was watching the show and talked to Paul about going down there to the SNL live studio and surprising everyone by appearing live! 😮 That would have been great! But they decided not to. So SNL came very close to reuniting the Beatles! Then with Lennon’s death the window had closed. So the new music reflected the gloom. It had a melancholy feeling and lyrics to match. The Goth movement and bands like the Cure personified the dark outlook very well. A feeling of Doom and Gloom. A lot like now. Senseless Wars and killings everywhere creating despair. Art reflects Life after all.
So is this soft cell performing or Marc almond ? Cheers I been married nearly 30 years and I still sing this in the house . Massively talented British legend
I did enjoy this concert but they did leave a lot of tracks they really shouldn't have off the list. There was a few dull moments which could have been avoided with tracks like chips on my shoulder!! Entertain me...
