I thought I'd start a new thread as we are beginning to get excited about the tour and drifted into it on the 'beatmag interview' topic I would personally doubt that TCM will feature because as far as I know that was recorded independently of Louis Gordon. I know the Ultravox and Metamatic stuff was too, but they have made this their own now. TCM doesn't really have a live 'gig' feel about it, IMHO. Maybe this tour is the chance to launch something like "The Drive EP" and actually get a SINGLE out. Shock, horror - can you imagine such nonsense....

Is that like the John Foxx/ Lionel Ritchie double header released in the 80s? Cheers

I doubt they'll do any of TCM live, but I do think it would be nice, and a little different.
I'm just hoping for plenty of tracks from all his career - particularly from TPOE, C&B, The Garden, and of course, Metamatic.
I would really love to hear tracks from SOR live too (particularly Slow Motion), though personally I'm not so bothered about the earlier stuff.
It would be interesting to hear how they might interprit any tracks (other than Endlessly) from The Golden Section. Ghosts on Water would be a good one.

It would be great not to have such a predictable set list as in previous tours. I hoping John will surprise us. I'll wait and see. Only 3 weeks and 1 day until Sheffield ( and counting down) then 3 days to Scala club in London Peter

Just been on the Sheffield Leadmill site and found a rather strange JF biography. Is this how you'd describe John's career? "John Foxx has undergone quite a few changes since his days as Ultravox front man and all-round New Wave hero. His solo career, which began in 1979, has shot of in some starltling and beautiful directions, with albums such as ‘Cathedral Oceans’, an opus based around Claude Debussy’s ‘Sunken Cathedral’ . Building serene soundscapes with flawless arrangements from Gregorian chants and symphonic synths, he created inspiring and uplifting pastoral ambience. An influence on the Human League, later Gary Numan and Flock Of Seagulls, Foxx’s famous first solo album ‘Metamatic’ (1980) was described as ‘carcrash music’, conveying the steel-on-steel grind and rise of the cities as the 70s became the 80s." http://www.leadmill.co.uk/db/live.php?list_id=421 A Flock Of Seagulls?????
