has to be one of my favorite Erasure songs. Fortunately for me, I was able to hear them perform the song live at their concert September 3, in Oxford, England. I have seen Erasure peform live many times, but to hear them on their 'home turf' was, well, awesome. Most, if not all, of the concerts here in the States, the audience skews to many gay men and women, probably in the 25 to 45 age bracket. Well, at this concert I saw attendees as young as 10, and as old as 72 (I had to ask). As for the orientation of the audience? I would guess 75% straight, and the remainder gay men/women. The energy was intense. I don't think anyone sat down for the entire concert. Everyone was up dancing, and singing along, yes, even the older generation.
The vacation too me to London and Paris. The first time for me in Paris, I lost count on London, as due to my father's job as a pilot, most vacations were to England, Ireland or Scotland, our heritage. Paris was nice. However, I will save more for later. I need to get back to replaying the concert in my mind.
Oh L'Amour.....
