I knew it would be important for posterity. ABC's video for Be Near Me is so awesome and funny. They were going through some line up changes then, but it's still worth checking out.

He played at First Ave. back in '99 and I was able to sneak in during rehearsal and chat with him (and rangled a back stage pass for after the show....squeeee!). He wore a twist on the original gold suit then, but for Tuesdays show he had this rad white jacket with rhinestones - it was sort of Country Western meets Vegas. He looked very dapper in it. They didn't do 'The Night You Murdered Love' :-( Ah well, what can one do when they have to share the stage with several other acts? It was an amazing show!<BR/><BR/>Soft Cell...weee! I was lucky enough to see Marc Almond play back in the late 90's early 00's. He's a wee little pocket person, but those pipes! Woudn't a Yaz/Soft Cell tour bill be utterly fabu? C'mon, get on it you lot!<BR/><BR/>Oh, wait...this is jonny's blog.

Poor jonny...I went all 'geek' on him during intermission. I just HAD to explain to this guy behind us (who had mistaken one of the tour musicians as David Yarritu) that he was so very wrong. I went on to tell him that David was not really a musician, and that both he and Eden were brought on to the Millionaire albumn strictly to create more of a 'visual appeal' to the American audience. I THINK he went on to a career as a DJ in the 90's and...... there I go again! Where is he now? Dunno, but I found this little gem from '87 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMyfDKLJ36g<BR/><BR/>Seriously, the show was mahvelous. 'Tears Are Not Enough' sounded much like their demo - a little slower and more soulful. 'Be Near Me' was a little more down tempo sounded very smokey and sultry. 'When Smokey Sings' Woot-Woot! Thrilled, I tells ya!<BR/><BR/>Belinda...sorry babe, but you annoy me like a mosquito bite on my big toe. <BR/><BR/>Human League. Squeee! They gave such a performance! 'Seconds', 'Mirror Man' *sigh* I was in pure Sheffield Sound Heaven!<BR/><BR/>So, who are we seeing next jonny?<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>TrixMissTrixihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396685421911541091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-35366802783741726802008-08-06T13:06:00.000-07:002008-08-06T13:06:00.000-07:00Fixed, Mr. Fry, and may I say you looked particula...Fixed, Mr. Fry, and may I say you looked particularly dapper last night.Jon Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441313115533736554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-52261127449857091682008-08-06T12:03:00.000-07:002008-08-06T12:03:00.000-07:00My name is Martin Fry.
