I was silly enough to start queueing from 1pm... wanted no less than front row for this show. I'm lucky enough to have gone to all of the shows and they were brilliant every single time

they were as American as you could get, but the yanks didn't get it, brits adore eccenctric and original music so we adopted them; see Beth Ditto and all the other artists that don't go to the gym and have perfect tits, teeth and tans

@tiggertadman Lucky you! Must have been great. I can only imagine.

[Augmuse]

Sparks one of the greatest treasures in music. Sad that so many here in America never seemed to get Sparks. This Wisconsin Badger gets Sparks since the first album and I still love them.

I dated the bass players niece back in the 80's and got to go back stage, and all the parties and such! I will never forget the times I had back then. these guys should be in the rock and roll hall of fame!

Actually, they were very big indeed in US in the eighties. Their biggest success was in France, and their "Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins" album did best in Germany.
