Sparks are probably most underestimated pop group.

I agree. I've loved them since the 1970s. I used to have all their albums on vinyl :-)

¡¡¡¡WOW!!! just magnificent , i heard this group many many years back, i didn't know its name , then i lost the only song i had from them and i couldnt find them again and today i've founded again thank you so much to the people that made possible the music reach us all

[@ordinarybear7037]

the film is there, have a look......

[@UberSynth]

Is Ron's Roland JD800 even switched on? The Led's and LCD should be orange if its on. I see nothing. I prefer the original version of never turn your back on Mother Earth and Martin Gore's counterfeit cover. 🌍 I love sparks. Let's face it, who doesn't!! 😉 💝 Peace ✌️ out people

[@treyquattro]

no it isn't - I've watched all the videos looking for signs of life: there are no letters in the LCD and it should be lit up like a Christmas tree with all the LEDs. Stage lighting *could* drown out the LEDs but then the LCD would be visible and it isn't

[@eastend59]

Awwww prefer the slow haunting versionof Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth

[@richardstone3473]

Saw them last night at Royal Albert Hall. Up in gallery with birds eye view. Great show.

Also, it needs to be at a slower tempo to flow into NTYBOME

[@TheGogogadget123]

Haha russells clown suit

[@annabackman3028]

Mid nineties... Oversized was the thing!

[@PAULLONDEN]

_"The"_ Sparks ?....Highly talented bunch. Would be perfect if Ronald would finally abandon his highly irritating _Vogue Hitler_ act. Continually checking the monitors if the camera is on him, so he can pull some silly faces......from where came this man's desire to have part of the limelight from his brother ? Russell doesn't seem to mind, encouraging it even..happy that the onus isn't totally on him.

[@rpf276]

He stole that mustache from Charlie Chaplin who was our course Jewish.

[@prokesuk]

What Hitler act? Ronald had already abandoned the Chaplin moustache. Look closely. You might want to listen to the Sparks song Moustache for some insights.

[@treyquattro]

@@rpf276 as are Ron and Russell

[@rsmith7912]

You don't get Sparks if you ever think Ron would give up the stares. It's Sparks most amazing stage act & it got them noticed on TV even more than just for the music. In '74 when they hit big their act was a real shock to the UK viewers & really caused quite a stir. The UK embraced them of course, we loved their craziness. Ron's not hogging the limelight, it's all part of the Sparks show. Sparks are theatre rock & they do it so well.

[@PAULLONDEN]

@@rsmith7912 You're right , around '74 I too was mesmerised . But to keep such an act for eternity ? Thought they were smart or clever enough to tweak the act somewhat. Would be the same if Jagger still was acting up his 70's persona. (although....that would certainly be an improvement compared to the eternal jogger act he displays for almost half a century).

[@user-ys3qq6rf6z]

very poor
