I was trying to watch the stream last night, but gave up at 9:45. Nothing was there.

Don't use the list on Mojo as the Terminal Jive and Music That You Can Dance To nights are wrong, they should be a day later. Sparks are not performing on Mondays and Thursdays. Use the list below the screen on CD Pulse.

I'm really enjoying tonights show. It's nice to hear Ron's synths in full force and what a lovely berret. (Bad spelling, yes?)

Shame about the stream though, it has been cutting quite frequently tonight.

Watching the live stream now. Never heard any of these songs before. Dig those '80s synth sounds!

This was always going to be one of the most challenging nights - is it me or was this their lyrically weakest moment? Pity, because the synths sound superb tonight....

Young Girls is one of my all-time favourite Sparks songs and was probably the song I was looking forward to hearing live the most of the 21 nights. The guitars were way too loud in the mix tho.

the sound is fab tonight!! bravo to everyone involved!

I dont like the album to be honest its imho along with interior design and outer space in my sparks flop 3
but the concert sounds fine. noisy boys really rocked.
(cant reach other nights/ other albums though).

but the boys are doing a very good job, this is the first time the album is really listenable for me.

Have not heard most of these songs before and don't care that much about them, sounds good though.
I like "When I'm with you" though :)

Also, loved the beret Ron was rocking. Ron Playing

"Stereo" is a great song, along with "When I'm With You". The rest of the album is not bad...just kind of bland (to me...)

It was about Word magazine having a feature on "Inappropriate songs" and "Young Girls" was one of them.

......and so to my (and I suspect many others') least favourite Sparks album. Would it being played live make me like it any better? Well, whilst the boys and the band did a good job of trying to beef it up and breathe some life into it - no!! The best thing I can say is Russell looked really good. Ron was, er....well....Ron. Not sure the beret was a good idea. Saying all of that though, Just Because You Love Me sounded a lot better live, as did Young Girls (are we allowed to like that one now?). Singing In The Shower was a nice surprise (RIP Fred). Let's draw a veil over the rest.
