Sparks - Live at the Astoria, London, December 6, 1997

This is a recording of the second concert Sparks did in 1997 in England to promote the album Plagiarism. The first one took place in Norwich on December 3. These were the only concerts by Sparks in 1997. It was also the debut of drummer Tammy Glover. I cannot remember who taped this show but I was given a copy on VHS tape, early 1998.

I don’t care what anyone says about this or that performance, I’m enjoying catching up on the videos of their live performances.

As good as they sound here, in my opinion they always sound better with a full band.

[@markrae1317]

[@wendythomson2542]

Cos you have taste?

[@cheerleadersonsafari]

There used to be another live recording around this time on youtube with a "Rex the Wonder Dog" intro, do you have that one?

[@wendythomson2542]

Think they should have just released this as a live album because after watching this performance I have to say it sounds a hell of a lot better than the finished album, that was pants.

I love Sparks, but this era was very poor, especially the dreadfully poor drumming! How Tammy Glover ever got to play with Sparks is beyond me! RIP Dinky Diamond.

Instead of promoting it they should have buried it, it's an abomination. Worst album they have ever done.
