    I have been avoiding this for awhile because once I start watching too much Gary Numan stuff I start getting so obsessed I don't want to do anything else or live in real life anymore. It's just so much better in Numanland. ha ha ha

    WTF!!! How has he managed to keep such amazing vocal? What an absolute legend. My Dad met him at a flying club at North Weald (I think) he said he was absolutely charming.

    Gary was always underrated for the first 20yrs until we catch up. I remember buying this album at 16yrs old when it first came out, never looked back. This album changed my life, I am 58 today all I can say is thank you Gary!

So happy to get to see live versions of it online, and I really hope that I will get a chance to send a simple "Thank you!" to Gary for all the melodies, emotions and inspiration that I have found through his work.

    Я искренне не понимаю что подписчиков на канале всего 103 тысячи и что я узнала о Gary Numan только сейчас в 2024 году. В Росссии все знают кто такие Depeshe Mode и Queen, но я уверена что единицы знают Gary. Это не справедливо! Слушаю одну за одной песню и они все мне очень ноавяься. Я даже стараюсь не слушать их много потому что хочу растянуть удовольствие, давно не находила нового музыкального "наркотика" для себя.
    И на этом выступлении, если он поет вживую, то это потрясающе, потому что голос сохранился таким же как и 40 лет назад.

    I said "hey, that's funny, did you ever hear the Gary Numan song "Down in the Park" & he said no, & I was so excited to share it with him that I sang the line over the phone:))
    When he gets here II'm going to play it for him, he's young, but I know he's going to love it (he better!)
    This was incredible btw.
    I didn't know Gary was touring still, but can't see ANY reason why not.
