Yeah, I'm excited to see this show too, I've not heard all the songs from this album so it will be an education Ron Playing .

They rocked!
IMHO one of the best nights so far..im curious what the encore will be(still hoping for marry me)
Sound was good, Ron was hearable at least.

Not a single bad song, im no fan of dont shoot me..but it did great live!

Highlights? Nastassia of course..and upstairs..and funny face.. oh yeah, not to forget: the rest.

What are we at now - 10 shows? Where on earth does he get his energy!!! I'm out of breath just watching him. Puts some of those young 'uns to shame.

Really expected Ron to come out in boxer's shorts and gown tonight - not to be however. What price a bride's dress on Friday? But he was still, er....well.....Ron. What a joy this was though!! From the opening notes of Tips For Teens this rawked. This album much more suited a live presentation than last night's, and that shone through on stage. How good was Funny Face? How good was Upstairs? How good was The Willys? etc etc etc etc. Suzie Safety and Wacky Women the absolute highlights for me, followed closely by Get Crazy. Russell in top form once again, resplendant in extremely natty outfit.
That was a Sparks show, a Sparks show tonight!!!!!

........and there are 11 more to go, how lucky are we! Has a band ever given their fans more than Sparks are now. We are so lucky, I will never forget this month, can't think of a better way to spend my summer holidays.

THANK YOU SPARKS!! Ron Playing

OMG - did I just see someone with an Aberdeen FC top leave the venue, or did my eyes deceive me?

Lol, I thought one of them would come out wearing boxing gloves or something to. What was Russell's story behind "That's Not Nastassia"?

That was brilliant, especially That's Not Nastassia which always makes me laugh. That is one crazy song. The band sounded pretty clear tonight over the live stream, better mix than they have had before.

WOW again! This definitely is my favourite '80s album!!! Highlights: Where's my girl, Don't shoot me, That's not Nastassia, and the surprise "Get crazy" that I did not know yet! The band really does a wonderful job, it rocks gig time, I LOVE IT!! What an energetic, powerful songs! And the energy Russell throws out is amAzing. Doing what's your passion keeps you young, fit, healthy and happy I guess. Russ's voice is as always in topshape, it is so thrilling to hear, never to get enough of! SPARKS, THANXX from the bottom of my heart, you keep making my days! We sure are a lucky bunch of people, us fans...
