those girls are amazingly talented......It takes a lot of training to nod your head like that !!!!

It was like the mic was off on the young ladies. I would like a do-over please. PLEASE!!!

It is meant to be a fact, from a recording engineer I met over 40 years ago, that Paul McCartney mixed hysteria late wife Lynda down on tours and had someone else play her keyboards on the records.

He has been in Pittsburgh two times in the past five or six years.

Gary is NOT meant to be watched outside in the daylight. You want a nice dark club to really appreciate his music :) I played the living hell out of Pleasure Principle. It's in my top 10 albums.

@@prokesuk Oh yes I do when i know I am right. it doesn't mean it is better or worse than the original, or is it a judgement on the artists' ability.

[@stevewebb7126]

@prokesuk He is making a valid point .The only reason the daughters are there is Numan is trying to push his daughters on the public , mainly the one making music now , Raven .

[@docknightphilco4550]

@@NewModelRailway1 Agreed.or the Fury, or Strange Charm. But sadly he totally turned his back on that period, though he did do a fantastic take on My Breathing with the Skarparis Orchestra, where the girls could have really added a really great live vibe to it instead of female pre recorded vocals triggered by laptop. These little things add greatness to a live artist and the audience who have been following him for 4 decades or more, will appreciate the difference and genuine effort to deliver an honest good show.

[@undergroundwarrior70]

Gary Numan represents the future. Since 1978, and always will.

I couldn't take my eyes off the three shy, beautiful, mute, sexy, gothic daughters... It's a fairly hypnotic video.

Cute little gothlets

[@andy_intruder]

That was awesome seeing his 3 beautiful daughters up there with him and he is clearly sooooo proud of them all as are they of him. Even though you couldn't really hear them, what do you expect though with being recorded on a phone. Persia was amazing on 'My name is Ruin", Ravens own music is absolutely brilliant and to see Echo up there as well it was just a lovely and proud moment for Gary and his Daughters.

[@lovepulse]

Had nothing to do with being a phone recording you could barely hear Gary during louder songs in his set. Their mics if on needed some serious boost.

[@Kiwigold-on7mc]

Fanboy !!

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

I don't really get his three daughters on stage as they aren't hardly singing. It's cute but they are more or less just standing there. They aren't singing!

Someone has totally stuffed the audio. Numan gigs are known for their precision and presentation (and I've been to enough to agree), the actual audio would be far better).

[@Simon-50gtf]

Seems his mic is too low all the way through the gig and theirs ( his daughters) not turned on 😮 having said that I'm not sure that track gave them much opportunity anyway..

[@Kiwigold-on7mc]

yeh its an old band trick , if they cant sing you turn their mic's way down in the mix !🤣

[@Simlifegirl]

Persia can sing, just not when the mic is turned off. Loved her in MY NAME IS RUIN, One of my favorite songs by Gary Numan.

[@helentrove620]

I know Gary is a doting dad to his 3 daughters but this was a big fail. It's obvious he is so proud of them all but they are so young & dressed in a sexually provocative way. I can only assume that Gemma influenced them with the way she looks with her silicon boobs on show at every opportunity. (The t shirt for Raven with her bottom stuck out in such a suggestive way...I just can't fathom any dad condoning that). True talent doesn't need to stoop to that & makes me feel so sad that Gary is showing his precious daughters like this 😣

[@serenadevon]

That is how the young dress in England. That's where they are from.

Turning The Goth Family Into ACTUAL GOTHS

[@SADSUPERNOVA]

I love some of his music but Numan's a dope. 60-yo with plastered make-up and cosplay; dudes with skirts and his teen daughters paraded around dressed like...well, Gary, its about music, dude...

[@stevewebb7126]

Yes he looks rather silly😅

[@ToryZStarbuck]

Gary is a new wave neo-futurist performing science fiction rock and he dresses the part the way that David Bowie, Bauhaus, Visage, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cars, etc. went on stage to put on a theatric show. If he went onstage dressed like he just got off work at Jiffy Lube like boring American bands it would kill the futurist vibe of his show. If Gary put his look OVER his music then it would be a problem but his band sounds great (I do agree that his daughters do not add anything to this live performance). There are a lot of great bands that can go onstage in t-shirts and jeans and they still sound great. It just is not much fun or avant garde to watch for some people. And let's face it- we white people look like we just walked out of a morgue without makeup.

[@martinparker9249]

im sorry but i would want my daughters to shine in this moment ......but it was the Gary show ......

Maybe bring them on with a song that actually has female bvs. Something from Berserker or the fury for example?

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Numan in the daylight doesn't work. I've been a fan since the late 70s but this just sounds like karaoke to a backing track and his daughter's standing around looking awkward
