The so called musical magic on stage.lol.
Seen better by Morecambe and Wise at the end of their TV shows.

I like them too.

Spooky.

Ironically not actually on this album

I know, but it’s a sign.
TH.
You’ve run out of road.
Have we another week, or are into something new tonight?

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Ironically not actually on this album

Wasn't released yet, but just a year away...

I will touch on a few songs on that next record in my review.

I get it's not everyone's cup of tea but some of the dismissals seem a bit trite as whatever else you think of them, they can really groove. It's an authentic groove too; whilst they take lots of influences they are not mimicking. They were white middle class art school kids who found their own way to properly groove and that's not that common imo. You can have the discussion of whether that is simply down to Tina Weymouth or not but I don't think you can deny the groove is a real groove.

I listened to a few things beyond this album over the week, snd preferred their studio material to the live album. Sometimes bests of and live versions enhance, sometimes they backfire.

I better get my review done soon as you are giving away my special sauce! ;-)

And yes, as threespires notes, the groove is definitely there, when you can hear it over the overuse of the synths from the studio versions.
