A Flock Of Seagulls: 3-24-07

[DJ Phoenix]

I'm supposed to go see them @ Pollyesthers(Stratosphere) this Sat, and Im reallllllyyyyyyyy looking forward to it. I saw them back in the day, but didn't appreciate them as much as I do now. They are so much better than just that 1 huge hit,they have about 15 songs that are awesome. Tix are 10 bucks, man i cannot wait.

Also, Im supposed to go see Naked Eyes in June as well at the Cannery Hotel and Casino in June...should be a kick ass show.

thanks for the review, shame the gig was only 35min long though... still sad that the proposed european tour with almost the complete old lineup never happened...

Man Made? that is almost unbelievable - when doing an interview with Mike in the late 90es I suggested to him to play Man Made again (it is my fave AFOS tune...) - brilliant to see it is now back in the set... just hope Mike will do tour again in Europe one day...

man made is a great tune i agree it is weird there setlists changes from night to night i saw them twice in 2003 and they played you can run one time and the next time they played 5 brand new songs to open with all on guitar those shows where and hour both of them this is great for bootleggars that the setlist changes every night i hope they come here again this year love to see them again

Would love to see thm perform in europe. Man Made and Remember David are among my shortlist of favourite tracks, so if they make it to the Netherlands they can add those to the setlist to make my night outstanding.

Thats a shame they only played for half an hour. I just don't understand these clubs. Why go out of your way to hire a great act like the Flock of Seagulls and why pay the money if you're only gonna let them play for half an hour. I saw the Flock twice in the 80's. once at the Concert Hall in Toronto once at Entex. They put on a great show and both conserts were approximatly two hours...perhaps longer... The show they performed at the Concert Hall which was the "Story Of A Young Heart" Tour was the best concert I ever saw in the 80's ..and even perhaps my favorite concert of ALL TIME. They were simply fantastic. [:)]
