I flew in from the US for the reunion, wouldn't have missed it for the world. Absolutely fantastic, everything i could have hoped for and more. Ultravox are still magic.

I saw them at the Hammersmith Apollo last Friday.... AMAZING! The sound was great and clear, it was a captivating performance. I don't know how long they rehearsed before the tour but they were so tight as a band.... outstanding. The best gig i've been to in years.

I really hope they now get together in the studio and record new tracks.

Wonderful to finally see them back tigether again.There were so many hurtful feelings following the split up of the band.My life changed the day i met them at 14,and they have been my great great love ever since!

@feltpaws

both of these guys have their own different styles....its so wrong to compare each of them to each other....i like both Foxx and UV but if it wasnt for John leaving then we wouldnt of had his unique style of music as we have now and the same goes for UV.In my eyes they are both brilliant

Hear Hear twice.....i totally agree with you....ive followed these guys from the start and when they came back on their Return to eden tour i was bowled over...they still have that magic although they never lost it such a shame they went their different ways only to meet up again and do this...i think they enjoyed it and wished they had never split up

Warren is metronomic more than a drum machine!

Fantastic! saw two days ago in Italy!

Well said. Slick, classy and fucking magic INDEED!!!!!

Hear, hear!!!!! Being in their late fifties doesn,t mean they should be sitting by the fireside in their carpet slippers. If a band still has the passion and desire to play their music, and fans want to see them play, then so they should. People have always knocked bands like Ultravox for not being "trendy" or "credible", but who cares. They had their own unique sound and to have such a strong fanbase 23 years after the classic line-up last played says it all.

i was there that night and they were superb! all the old hits, great! Anyone can have a pop at them for their ages but Paul Weller is just as old and still as "in" as he was years ago, so why not these boys? Slick, classy and fucking magic. ULTRAVOX #1

Best Band Ever! I wish they would come to the states.
