Sparks: The Calm Before The Storm

[mvanbussche]

je n ai jamais retrouvé ce morceau sur les remix de Sparks qui reste pour moi un groupe hors norme

[Viadrus96]

Somebody should have told them that a performance at the "ZDF Fernsehgarten" is an ultimate career killer.

[vasquez4251]

Jump-jump-jump....

[StavrosIII]

I'm sure this is a clip from some disaster movie that used Sparks when they were trying to make a comeback.

[Mentalplix]

Sparks is woefully dismissed by a lot of people in the U.S....But some of us love them!

[georgebistolas11]

time has not touched them and the drummer is sexiest than ever.

[redrockape]

Such a surreal setting! I'm amazed the yanks get them at all. Top.

[Mentalplix]

@redrockape Saying that all Yanks are alike is like saying all you Brits have bad teeth. It's foolhardy.

[redrockape]

@Mentalplix , I was refering to the fact that a lot of good British bands just dont do well in the US, just like some of your stars dont cut it here. I should have made that clearer, sorry.

[Mentalplix]

@redrockape It's okay...I can understand why people think the U.S. is full of idiots- it is...just not all of us : )

i clippie my first SPARKS lps in Sandton Diskoshopie. Johannesburg 25 y ago. 6 hear them in Springbok Radio hits..since then A FAN

[dwilmer7]

are any of their performances actually live? every one i watch seems like lipsync.

cool band. just discovered em

[Mistertrapdoor]

@dwilmer7 I wonder the same thing sometimes.

[knobfieldfox]

Wasn't the keyboard player in On the Buses?

[philipmwatkins]

Shocking! ..i adore the sparkiepoos, but this song is the devils diarrhoea(in an aural sense only)..pissypastellyeuropap...­tho, hold ur horses.... all is 4given coz theyve churned out consistently high-end fare for the past 35+ yrs.

[tayloreh]

aww that darkly beautiful sickly feeling of North American excess I get from the late 90's.

L. Cohen:

'I've seen the future, babe, it is murder. things are gonna slide, slide in all directions. Won't be nothin, nothin, you can't measure any more. The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and has overturned the order of the soul.'

Seems consensus is that since 'An Inconvenient Turth', 06, we're somehow more morally strengthened... but I'm still not convinced we are.

[Gilesfly]

They play a lot at US theme parks like Magic Mountain and Disneyworld. They also feature in the moie" Rollercoaster" singing "Big Boy".

[fabulousrich]

Rare outdoor performance for Sparks, surely?

[KateShoxx]

ach das is der zdf fernsehgarten

[danb92uk]

well if I ever had a dream about teletubbie land and sparks this would be it

[Micowoco]

Is that an original RONALD keyboard? Heh heh.

[moonhoolie]

Obviously Germany!

Some sort of German cloning/golfing holiday resort made entirely from nylon.

Sparks kept their cool in such conditions where usually, one would see Heinno defying god and nature by his freakish presence and clap along driven volkish pop.

Any, they did what they had to do and lost nothing to satan.

[TomVanDeusen]

The only song about 9-11-2001 recorded in 1999. Most prescient band in existence.

[Mrrf]

Hear, hear!

[georgmund]

i love sparks and this is a quite good song to but this show is just ridiculous..and the performance is well..not that good.

im glad that sparks are cooler now

[Reijpert]

Great performance and with dear Tammy!!!

[meikken]

This was filmed in Germany !

[cravenpark]

Wow waht a gret promo. Thanks! (Where was this filmed)?

[LAMLKMHWC1]

I love this song, thanks for posting. Russell looks so hot in that football jersey (Is that what you call them?, lol) When was this performance?
