      I think they realised (or hope they did) every night of the Brilliant Tour when they walked onto the stahe of a packed auditoreum night after night. Their music was innovative, inspired and unique in the 80's and it has remained timeless as it is just as fresh today and far, far better than most of the music of the past two decades. 🎼🎹🎸🎤🎻🎛🖥

    I was at the Hammersmith gig, in the early 80's I remember going to the loo when Reap the Wild Wind was playing, the walls were moving, One of the best gigs ever.
    Without question, Ultravox has always been my No 1.
    As a synth player, they were my inspiration. We just got back with the band 38 years later.
    I was at a music event in a hotel in London, Midge was going to turn up, after many hours, and disappointed I went to the Bar Next to the Hammersmith Venue, just under the Bridge, the plan lord informed me Midge had been at the bar all day lol
    Mark, you must have been there too I was a few years older, such a memory

    Terrific interview. Short and sweet. I like how he brought up the music of Iceland. Falls into a recent post I made to your FB group. I like how you landed the biggest interview of your channel so far by just randomly running into him on the street and he AGREED to do it. *high five*

      That’s partly true. We’d been emailing each other for nearly a year and also met (spoke) at his book signing - but we did bump into him in the streets of Soho and within a week we’d filmed it. The planets aligned and Midge was fantastic.

    Just stumbled across this. Great interview. Been a fan since the year dot but I was too young to travel to London to see them in 81 at the Hammersmith Odeon. So imagine my delight when they got back together back in I think 2009 and I finally managed to see them at the Hammersmith Apollo all those years later. Saw them in Brighton the night before as well and was back at the Apollo a year later for Part two! Life's ambition realised. Got VIP tickets for one of them but sadly once face to face with Midge to ask a question the words stumbled out of my mouth and I felt such a buffoon. However, all four of the guys couldn't have been be nicer.

    Watching this interview naw was very special, I have had the pleasure of seeing Midge in various guises over the years, including this year, he has lost nothing as a performer, an artist and a great human being, I look forwards to hearing him continue well into the future. I have been listening to him since the embarassing days (for Midge) of Slik and always loved his voice

    I have loved Ultravox and Midge Ure since I can remember........... Don't remember actual dates (late 79 or during 80) but while I was still living in Scotland I was involved in a car crash and had the tickets for their concert in Edinburgh in the glove compartment........... I made sure to retrieve the tickets before the ambulance took me to the hospital................ I got away with a few stitches but the car was a write-off............. good thing I took the tickets :) I have lived in Germany since October 1990............ with Covid and everything the last couple of years some concerts I'd bought tickets for were postponed/cancelled............... Midge's concert in Aschaffenburg last October wasn't......... I took my (then) 24 year-old daughter (she's grown up listening to 80s music and Ultravox specially) and she ❤'d it - as did I................... He sounds exactly like the "Vienna" days.............. and the whole place was rocking :) If he comes back I'll definitely go see him again (and I think my daughter would go with me :) )

    Well, I actually put together a playlist of electronic 80s music/artists that French DJs played in discothèques near Lyon where we had many many Italian immigrants so the music was a bit catered to them, so among all the "Italo disco" playlists out there mine is quite different because the Lyon area was not "all of Europe" so I'd suggest you check it, you can find it on my channel under "80sEuroDiscotheque+".

    Maybe it's too late now, but Daryl Hall used to do a guest thing where he'd invite people up to his house for the day to video a session of songs, which often had incredible new life breathed into them.
