[@PaulWady]

I would have loved to have heard them!

[@Simlifegirl]

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

[@PaulWady]

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.

[@SoullessAndSynthetic]

Did they forget to turn their mikes on?

Probably for the best 😅

Amazing! weird song choice to bring them out though. nothing to sing much but stand there feeling awkward. thanks dad !

[@StrategyInformer-sjgold]

Persia is the female vocal on My name is Ruin and the video as well.. she is an amazing singer.. he did take her on tour as well when she was 14...

Despite the girls microphone issues. They're a happy family. That's all that matters.

Y'all are so lucky to see GN in concert. He never comes to Pennsylvania. I've seen videos of his daughters in his concerts in England & they are pretty good.

[@chrisstudebaker2799]

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

[@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.

[@ExternalInputs]

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.

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 !🤣

[@AlexAlcyone]

@@Kiwigold-on7mc much more likely that being a local festival rather than a tour date, they did not bring their own FoH engineer and the there was no sound check with fast turnarounds. Having both done sound + performed at countless USA festivals I know exactly how it goes. Gary should have brought his own engineer, that was the mistake.

[@FTarquin]

"Singing"

[@loadsamoney-u3x]

ok this is cringe! First of all there's no real place for backing vocals on this song and they all look bored, embarrassed and don't look like they want to be there. Im sorry but Gary just keeps thrusting his daughters into the limelight, they don't look ready, comfortable and frankly talented enough to be up on stage. He actually said in an interview that he "got Raven a record contract"this all smells of poo frankly and it will all crash and burn on Gary and he will deserve it as he has taken his loyal fans for granted for years,his also just used a lot of talented musicians and then just chucked them away like he did to Ade Orange and he will do the same to Ade Fenton too.

[@catdaddy644]

I agree about his daughters, I think he is trying to help them though. I dont knock him for that, I think he is trying hard to get them to shine on their own. I like the two guitar players he has now though , especially on Intruder, that show was magical. After 40 years. any name musician goes through a lot of different band members, some stay others don't, Thats just the par for the course.

[@stevewebb7126]

Agreed .

[@micqbutler3458]

It's very try-hard.

[@robbieracer3294]

Fenton is making a lot of Ravens music now and stands in with her when she does solo stuff. I think Persia needs to learn an instrument, when she stands on stage with her sister ..it's like "Hey, you're my sister so you should be in the band with me". I know Persia has a nice voice, but if she sang and played guitar, I think she'd have more of a presence

[@paulomontero12]

What did he do to get not one but three daughters 😢😢

[@catdaddy644]

Gary's vocals were not well balanced, Music over powered him. And why is he doing a show based on an album he did 30 years ago instead of the awesome new stuff he premiered last year, Cruel world? His daughters look board and you couldn't hear them at all. Maybe they knew their mikes weren't working. They look the part though. Sorry for the rant, Glad people liked him anyway. I strongly advise anyone to check out his show from last year and watch and listen to his new stuff . Intruder. Back to concept albums. So awesome.

[@jimjusko7279]

The Phoenix show he did the same way.

[@daviddeath6029]

Because his new tour in England his home is playing all his machine age stuff which in most numanoids opinion was his best ever!

[@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.
