question for Ned, is "J’s friend and music associate Alan Moore" THAT Alan Moore?

one last note, after getting these tickets I searched around on YouTube for recent Bauhaus concert footage not realizing that they played together as recently as last year, and now I want to see Bauhaus too, didn't think they would still rip as hard as they do

They also did at least one collaboration, if not two or three.

Gotta go with "Kundalini Express"

They were the favourite group of my friends in high school. I liked all of Express but found a lot of the subsequent three records (and the Daniel Ash solo album) were really lazy both lyrically and musically. I'll vote for "It Could Be Sunshine".

"Dog-End of a Day Gone By"

I was one of those American teens who went to see them after being turned on by those first two albums.
How were they? I saw them at Red Rocks in . . . it must have been 1987, the year Earth, Sun, Moon came out. I thought they were competent but uninspired, too much downtempo stuff. I saw Danny Ash much later, early 2000s, and he was much better then, as was Peter Murphy, who was always good.

That was the same time I saw them. Earth, Sun, Moon was already out, but I was more a fan of Express. They did dates in Florida in late '86 and again in late '87. I found the show enjoyable; the bass playing in particular stood out as interesting.

I don't think Red Rocks was a good venue for them.

I remember seeing them at Fenders in Long Beach in 1985? The Bubblemen were also on that bill meaning they got dressed up and danced before their main set. Not a good show as I couldn't see the stage but also some drama. A friend was arrested for underage drinking and running from the cops.

Moodles IThink we have the Bauhaus reunion tour to thank for this short Love and Rockets revival, I believe Bauhaus planned to continue but Murphy went into rehab and it became this. They blew me away last year which is largely why I’m so excited to see L&R in two days; Ash”a playing is just relentless.

Show in Oakland was good but a little underwhelming. Guitar def should have been a lot louder.

thank you for making me feel better about missing out ... lol:sob
― sarahell, Monday, 22 May 2023 16:43 (ten months ago) link
I was having to decide between that and another show last night...but then I ended up feeling under the weather all day yesterday and had to miss both, so maybe I'm happy about the decision being taken out of my hands.

Ash's playing is just relentless.
I'm pretty sure I have him to thank for the tinnitus that has plagued me for more than a decade.

I had to vote for "So Alive" but "The Dog-End of a Day Gone By" was right there.
