Gary Numan - Sydney (31.05.80)


Gary Anthony James Webb, Valerian, Tubeway Army or Gary Numan (take your pick) will be 50 years old on 08 March. He's still touring, albeit with a darker sound. Here's a short set from his synth / new wave / electropop period. It was recorded at The Capitol Theatre in Sydney on 31 May 1980 and recently broadcast on Australian radio station JJJ, hence the occasional announcer interruptions. Excellent sound quality - 37 minutes at 192kbps.
Recommended listening: Replicas + The Pleasure Principle, released within a few months of each other in 1979.
A remastered and expanded version of Replicas is released in the UK on 25/02/2008.
Enjoy.
