Gary Numan - Talking about The Touring Principle 79

[@georgesneddon6699]

I love the guy met him & his family during the warriors tour in Glasgow way back & HMV signing my cds. He is a genius in what he does & very humble.loved by all numanoids

[@tonyruggiero1]

Amazing musical legend for over 40 years 🙏🏻

[@StrawberrySunday212]

My brother was there on the 1st night in Glasgow of the Touring Principle tour, and the stage set was something that was never seen before, the crowd were stunned. From a guy playing in backstreet pubs to filling the Glasgow Apollo was overwhelming for Numan. Apparently Andy McCluskey of OMD couldn't get over all the people there to see Numan.

I could listen to Gary talk all day long. The glint in his eye @ "Police escort" and "Legs on fire" !! Priceless.

[@paulpisters668]

These stories make me really sad. Those kind of days never come back. They were the best times in musical history. Gary is the greatest of all.

[@jmdavison62]

There's plenty of great music coming out now. No need to worry.

[@lesliechristensen6974]

I like this guy's music. PLUS---I really love the crinkles around his eyes. Dude is HOT.

[@nathantamblin9481]

Saw this show at Colston Hall, Bristol, in 1979. Absolutely spectacular, perfect, the best thing I'd ever seen.

[@Compliment_Thief]

OMG! *RACISTS!* 😱

[@IronBhoy]

I was there. Brilliant memories.

[@ghost14273]

Oh man , I was just a 15 yr old boy a mate of mine had replicas on vinyl changed me then he dropped pleasure principle telekon, just my youth I wouldn’t change it for the wold, rip Cedric, rip Paul. Thank you for the music. 😔

[@OtelliSandrina]

Great to hear Gary talking about his late friend Paul Gardiner

[@rollandjoeseph]

For as big of an artist he is, he's very cool and modest, I could hang with him big time!

[@barrysmith8920]

So relieved to hear they rehearsed SO hard...I've always thought "No band can be this tight and polished in such a short time"

[@veronicaambler1846]

I was at the Coventry gig. He did NOT run off crying! lol! The show was awesome!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gorgeous gary I love the fact you care for your fans and the fact you are so gorgeous and gothic I will always love you xxxxxxxxxx

[@lizaltman1200]

Ah man, so brilliant!

[@OnlyADownstat]

I was at that Coventry gig.. Wasnt aware of the Security knob.. but I seem to remember Gary stopping the gig to to tell a group of Punks in the front to behave or get out !!

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

And given that he is normally very soft spoken and polite, if he tells you to do something, you do it.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gorgeous gary the love of mine and his gemmas life he does so well because he is asperger like myself and we cant look a person in the eyes for too long he does very well bless him

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Awwww love this man so much forever my gorgeous Gary beautiful lovely fantastic awesome man

[@Compliment_Thief]

Love Cars, I’d probably go as far as to say probably the greatest novelty song of all time! 🙏🏾

[@franlooving4203]

So interesting that he says he didn't know what he was doing on stage 1 46 The footage I've seen is heart stopping fantastic! You did it all correct in my book!!! Only recently have learned about his depression which is interesting since The Pleasure Principle got me through my difficult young years in 82,,,,,. Finally got to see him for my 50th birthday and he was worth the wait!!! What a talent! Thanks for upload.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gorgeous gary this is such an interesting lovely interview

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love gorgeous Gary's beautiful goth eye linered eyes

[@alisonkovacs9871]

[@barrysmith8920]

Merv Griffon was an amazing talk show host here in America..He even had Jean-Luc Ponty on his show in the mid 70's

[@Compliment_Thief]

Gary’s got a fair point about not getting the credit for putting on a great show and instead being taunted for being “wealthy”! But hey, people are morons….

[@barrysmith8920]

True...people are my greatest challenge and I don't have Aspergers

[@babjah21]

Wow, he really explained it well. It is weird and very challenging.

[@nathantamblin9481]

OMD appeared on stage with no keyboards or other instruments, but a backing track pre-recorded, if I remember rightly.

[@barrysmith8920]

To just be in a position where you tell Billy Currie what to play is beyond all comprehension!!

[@rickyred001]

Those horizontal lights werent Garys idea, all Gary did was rip David Bowies stage set off from a year before

[@lesliechristensen6974]

Wait a minute...isn't your name really Steve?!?!? That smile...

[@gerardmurphy6263]

Lighting the same as Bowie station to station tour 76 he went himself

[@alisonkovacs9871]

I bet it is weird Gary darling

[@jarlathquinn5722]

Really insightful interview. Thank you so much.
