Re: Spandau reform for a world tour

Oh dear, yet another '80's has been group jumping on the band wagon of nostalgia. Look, they were never that good back then and they didn't get any better by not playing for 20 years.

I'll not be buying tour tickets.

Re: Spandau reform for a world tour

I rather go see them and sing along then try to be "in" with a bunch of spotty teenagers.

Edit: I'm going to Dublin now.

I was actually trying to make a joke about Ultravox's......It means nothing to me.....oh, Vienna...

I know all about the other song....which means I'm really showing my age!

Re: Spandau reform for a world tour

All this talk of Ultravox made me make use of Spotify and listen to a few of their best - I used to really like this group and I haven't listened to them for an age - was it really over 20 years ago?

man oh man....

This means something to me.....

Re: Spandau reform for a world tour

G. Michael toured 2 years ago and did a lot of the Wham stuff. A. Ridgeley wasn't needed. I saw the concert in Warsaw and it was brilliant.

Re: Spandau reform for a world tour

Yeah! Wham bam, thank you ma'am!
Ok, so Wham were crap but they certainly captured the 80s Zeitgeist.

One of my favourites was "Nothing looks the same in the Light".
It was not a hit as I remember, only an album track, but I think it showed early promise of George Michael's song-writing skills.

" I watch you breathe, I cannot sleep,
I touch your hair, I kiss your skin,
And hope the morning sun won't wake you too soon.
For when you wake and look at me, you never know you just might see
Another boy who crept into your room...
Take your time (that's what you told me)....take your time
But I fell head first and I just don't know what to do.

Nothing looks the same in the light;
Only a fool like me could take to heart,
The things you said you meant last night....."

Oh...so soft and romantic....


(Sorry for all whose stomachs have just churned)

Re: Spandau reform for a world tour

Sorry J. L_P I had to groan at you. I was desperately in love with Andrew Ridgley. By the way, does anyone know where he is and what he does at the moment. I think that the only way to get him out of my mind is to look at a recent picture of his.
