Was fortunate enough to catch this live at a sound check with a small crowd of fifty others at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC last September.They said they were practicing it for the US tour - wow, blown away. They played Statues at the gig was which also very cool to hear live.
I went to see Shrek at this venue a few months back and all I could think of was Andy & The boys performing one of the great gigs of the 80s in this very place. Unfortunate y I would have been only 10 1/2 when they were there, so I missed out.
Andy started the first verse two late--By time he finishes the 3rd line of the second verse the base synth kicks in--Didnt have time left to sing Stanlow--Who cares--Wonderful song and a great concert--Highlight for me is Statues middle part with Paul and Winston shrouded in white light.
@ianoreilly Hah!! The same over here in the states. I saw them on the A and M tour in Detroit. Now, I had seen everyone from the Cramps to Shriekback to the Gang of Four and was ready for a "mellow" evening from OMD. They started with Stanlow. As the volume of the oil rig tape increased I started to look at my brother nervously. When the synths and kick drum hit, it was a brutal aural assault to our bodies. I have never before or since heard a louder show. We stayed in the door the whole gig!
stanlow is an oil refinery at the south end of the wirral,omd are from a very quaint place called meols on the north shore of the wirral,close to the centre of the universe,liverpool and erics where they started...brilliant band.
@EVERTONIC And in Moels (pronounced Mells) is the telephone box they sing about in Red Frame, White Light" And I've actually been in it...................woohoo!!! LOL
The first five albums from OMD are their best and amongst the greatest 80's albums ever: OMITD, Organisation, Architecture & Morality, Dazzle Ships and Junk Culture.

No way; it should had been amazing being in the early 80's over England listening to all these 80's bands.

It was a great gig, the Theatre Royal is a lovely old theatre.
OMD really pumped it out too, I was surprised at how loud they were.
