A classic track indeed.
Anyway, last weekend saw the first gig in a run. Erasure at the UEA.
We were quite up for this. I'd been speaking to others and they said that the gig was likely to have a fair gay turn out. So this is what we were expecting.
We turned up in good time and joined the back of a queue. On getting in we grabbed a drink and found a good vantage point. More and more people were flocking and and we had the usual bunch of idiots deciding that they had the right to be at the front, so pushed past everyone else.
By the time that the support band came on, it was pretty full. Certainly fuller than the last time I was there for a Rakes gig. Onetwo were the support act, made up of one half of OMD along with the lead singer of Propaganda and a third member. They were pretty good.
Unfortunately, by the end of their set, H was suffering somewhat from the heat and crowdiness of it all, so we headed for some air and some space.
After Erasure came on, the place was even busier. We secured a vantage point where we could see, just about, but were surrounded by idiots. Instead of gay guys having a fun time, it seemed to be predominantly overweight, drunk, middle-aged women, all shouting and generally being brash (maybe I'm getting old!) It put a bit of a damper on things. Even though the boy's performance was good. The night wasn't enjoyable and we left early.
