[Mael-list] A live DVD will be filmed at The Forum

[David Younker]

Well heck, I was trying to send this to someone I'm trying to convert to the faith, not to the list.

Of all things, Sparks has a decency controversy going, their new singled banned by the BBC before they even listened to it just because they assumed the worst from the title, Dick Around.  Now you know you're getting the luck falling your way and are getting helpful press when you unwittingly have adecency controversy with a song getting banned, and a protest breaks out!  Some people would pay to create such controversy.  I have such trouble finding new music today I like, it really is good to have a couple artists, including my all time favorite, still making good music, however sparingly it feels between releases when you find so few interesting.
   
   
  
I loved it all just as much as last time round. One lesson I did learn: 
headbanging when the guitars kick in on Waterproof is not a good idea 
when you are wearing glasses. At least Here Kitty gave me a bit of time 
to recover.

The second half was wonderful. Two minor complaints: in 9 times of 
seeing the guys, I have never seen them do At Home At Work At Play. 
Please guys, pretty please... And nothing off Balls again. Oh, the 
problems of having a 30-year, 20-album career!

But they did do several I have not seen done live before, including 
Achoo, Tryouts for the Human Race and Part 2 of Number 1 Song In Heaven. 
Plus one song that Russell can claim credit for writing: Pineapple! And 
we had the chill-out finish with Change once again. First time I saw 
that, I was surprised at them ending a concert on such a downbeat note, 
but it just works. Trust Sparks to break all the rules and come good. 
Except there was one final surprise up their sleeves. After the BBC 
debacle this week, they promised they would play Dick Around twice at 
the Forum. And they did - a fantastic sort-of-acoustic reworking of it 
finished off the evening.

Brilliant as usual guys. Now I just hope I can get my voice back by 
tomorrow.
