I've been a massive fan of PG since about 1971, and still am. But this tour was the first one where he was clearly using pre-recorded tracks, and it bummed me out. Still does. It hadn't been that many years since ELO was lambasted for doing the same thing. These days, damn near everything you hear at many concerts is a track, sadly. No minidisc and no synth will ever smoke like a horn section smokes.

Good grief - how much talent can one person have!! Mind blown.

This has to be one of the grooviest, funkiest moments in the history of live music.

Tony Levin starts with a sort of stagger/stutter bass line then he goes to a more straight time as the song evolves. He is a master - always slightly ahead of the beat, pushing it along,...whoa, what a great performance by all hands.

This is peak 80's.

Absolutely great to see keyboardist David Sancious - I first came across his amazing talents when he performed with Sting. He's a bloody excellent lead guitarist too. Super multi-talented Mr Sancious.
