Eighties rockers Psychedelic Furs were in town for a sold out show at Lee's Palace. I was lucky enough to get there real early and buy a ticket at the door. If this is Collective Concerts way of beating out scalpers for real fans that want to see the show this is definately appreciated. About a 75 minute show that went through the classics and hit every album except that they didn't do anything from their last album in 1991 called World Outside and they missed out on their big hit Heartbeat. Technically the only remaining members of the original band are brothers Richard Butler (Vocals) and Tim Butler (Bass). Richard was quite energetic for 56 with great stage presence. This was the set list:
1.Into You Like A Train (Talk Talk Talk)
2.Alice's House (Mirror Moves)
3.Pretty In Pink (Midnight To Midnight)
4.Only You & I (Forever Now)
5.Imitation of Christ (The Psychedelic Furs)
6.It Goes On (Talk Talk Talk)
7.The Ghost In You (Mirror Moves)
8.Heaven (Mirror Moves)
9.Like a Stranger (Mirror Moves)
10.My Time (Mirror Moves)
11.Highwire Days (Mirror Moves)
12.Love My Way (Forever Now)
13.Heartbreak Beat (Midnight To Midnight)
Encore:
14.House (Book Of Days)
15.President Gas (Forever Now)
16.Forever Now (Forever Now)
