This time I really heard #peteraybiggun on drums doing things Copeland did on record. He grooves!

[@jublaim]

Here again, and it's such a great performance! These guys...

Bloody great fun...I sure hope we get another studio album and more tours from this outfit.

[@jublaim]

The Band effort shows here; even the not very well rehearsed gets more interesting live watching them "doing it". I love this tune!

[@Advansaintl]

This is a great tune. I prefer Copeland playing drums but his Zappa style vocals are pretty entertaining. I remember Belew playing drums on a couple of King Crimson songs and that worked out pretty well.

[@jublaim]

To me the Gizmodrome album is the most important album in a few years; the musicians, the rhythms, the lyrics and the vocals.

[@gph2193]

Right on. I find it great that these old farts can rock better than most bands ever did.

[@jublaim]

I really "don't know" why I feel so strong about this band/album/live; it's this mix of these guys should not ever play together; this music is too diverse; this music is too tame sounding; or the (to me) idiotic that Stewart "can't sing". It's this "thing" that happen when these guys play together! I did not know of Vittorio Cosma until this band; listen to his wonderful keyboard playing on this album.

Discovered Adrians wonderful rhythm thing around 4:35. Brasilian?

[@HaydnMowbray]

or could be African

[@jublaim]

@@HaydnMowbray Yo might be right :-) Listening again, it is african, taken from Paul Simons Graceland album... No, just kidding, although Adrian played on that album too.

[@jublaim]

Again!

[@jublaim]

This is definitely one of Bills favourite tracks from the Gizmodrome album! Tounge-in -cheek picture, u can see why :-D No really, it's a fiest of groove and lovely in-crowd lyrics! When hearing the marvelous slightly off-beat "heya-heya-heya" on the record I (Bill, ok) thought is was only a "mix-thing" never to be replicated live. Just saying: Mark King!

[@jublaim]

Yep!

[@jublaim]

Haydn, do you know if these guys ever gonna do a live tour ever? Or do we have to treasure these live events that was?

[@HaydnMowbray]

No idea. There was a lot of pushback from listeners to Copeland singing when Belew and King were in the band and much better singers. But they're Copelands songs and his vehicle so I guess it's his call. I remember Belew saying he was open to doing more. I certainly hope they do but am thankful I got a chance to watch them. I've seen King a couple of times before but I'd wanted to see Belew and Copeland live in some form for decades and they didn't disappoint

[@jublaim]

@@HaydnMowbray Thanks Haydn! I cought Level 42 at Gothenburg summer 2018 and wore a Gizmodrome T; at end bow Pete Ray Biggin recognized it and pointed it out for Mark and they both did a small dance and did thumbs up! It was hilarious and also a great thank you!

Stewart - please stick to percussion, FFS

[@jublaim]

Contrary, I really think he makes the lyrics come thru, and true. Like Frank Zappa did.
