Last night (30.05.2022) I attend to Gary Numan's concert at John Dee, Oslo. Amazing show, I've seen him live 4 times but nowadays Numan is just amazing. He's 64 and better than ever.
This concert was recorded and filmed at the Manchester Academy, UK in 2008. It was a celebration of Gary Numans 30 years as a musician as well as his 50th birthday on the night of the concert.
I can't wait for 2nd May 2022 in Brum, a living legend and still making great music. My favorite songs , it must of been years and haunted, the volume just goes up
Gary Numan owns this!! Love it better than on Replicas album!! Amazing live version! Been a NUMAN fan for 42 yrs, it never gets old!! NUUUMAN!! Happy belated Birthday Gary ( March 8) wishing you lots of health and happiness for many years to come !! I am so sad you had to cancel your concert 🎵 in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 because of Omricon…I really hope your able to reschedule ..a lot of fans are waiting!!! I hope you get a chance to hear about this comment… we love you!! Pure Gold 📀📀🎶🎹 luv LA from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
What a track !!! I remember listening to this when Replicas was first released and it still gives me goosebumps. 40 years on. Only Gary Numan can write songs like this
Seriously... And I mean seriously.. Numan’s live performances have always been incredible. Even had Billy Currie and Nash the Slash, two phenomenal violin players. And yet his music is still modern, inspiring, menacing, joyful and beautiful simultaneously..
Other than "Cars" in my teens, fairly new (and appreciative) of Numan in the past 3 or so years. Is it normal all my body hair stood on end and my head exploded watching this?? Aren't music stars supposed to dim as they pass through the years? HE'S ASCENDING TO GOD LEVEL! :O :D
I remember listening to 'Are Friends Electric', being played loud, in my local NSS news agent on a warm spring day in 1979, was the first record I ever bought. =) Gary Numan gave birth to the new era!
First heard "Cars" on alternative radio, but then they started to play the shit out of it... But it was enough for my bud and I to go see his early concert W/ Nash The Slash for his opener...(on acid!) I didn't think I could get any more into both artists until I found their other albums on Ytube. This artist ROCKS beyond what any words can describe!!!
He gets alot of critisism but the man is a fantastic live performer. A pioneer for the electronic music era, and so influential to so many bands now. I've seen him live so many times, met him once and it's all good! Dedicated to Cedric Sharpley, great drummer. RIP
I know the guitarist. Chris, best mates, we both auditioned for Gary when Steve Fox-Harris (Gary's full time guitarist) was unable to play for him at the time... Chris got the gig(s). Hehe.
Nice to hear! Do you know how he makes that awful guitar sound? Connected to a synth? I tried to connect my guitar to my synth, but couldn’t make it.. Musically yours Liselotte in Sweden (This song and Metal (from Pleasure Priciple) made me start playing guitar and synth in the 70’s.. and I still do..)
Having been a fan since.. well just decades... and have this on vinyl with the full photospread of the original concert i can only say YES !!! to see Gary up there redoing this ICONIC opening, and smiling, LOVING it.. made me grin like a cheshire cat. Reconciled.. past and present. WAY TO GO DUDE. loved ya then, love ya now.. you just get better and better ... still grinning.. and those synths still make my soul sing decades later. Have ALL his work, on vinyl cd and tape :D
I have gone through several of his live you tube songs, and I am amazed that there are any dislikes. New is a brilliant artist. I have seen his shows and his progressions as an artist over the past 40 years. Fabulous is all I can say, he delivers over and over. The sound and the show antics are quality and a beautiful thing too see.
I have enjoyed this video so much - Replicas was the first album I ever bought, splinter being the most recent! Videos like this, kind of bring the two together. "Utopia" thanks for posting.
Another stunning hybrid of old and newer sounds, always takes me back to the farewell concert in 1980's - I ddn't even know what that song was when I saw that until I bought the replicas album - is this version 90's or 00's ?
Gary Numan.... the one who gave birth to the sound of the 80s.
Ik ben 70 jaar oud en hou nog steeds v a n deze muziek
What a fantastic live performance
40 YEARS & NO RECOGNITION FOR SERVICES TO MUSIC. WHAT A DISGRACE, AS A FAN CLUB MEMBER FOR 35 OF THESE YEARS I RESPECT YOU & THANK YOU MR WEBB 🍀🙏🏻🇮🇪
He should at least have a KBE
Could not agree more completely overlooked

We need to get him recognised...a fan based petition
Totally!! Well said Sir.

This guy is a complete legend. This is England. He represents English music.
He will always be up there as one of the greatest artists in history.
One of the greatest artists in history? Oh fuck off with your ridiculous internet overstatements.
This has to be the best version ever , the beat , base line , the whole mechanics is just amazing
Wish I was there
Gary Numan is a legendary artist.
Why can't I like this more than once?
I so want to go and see him

covid-19 variant omicron (omricon)
For me......it doesn't really get any better than this......Intro and opening track Replicas. Amazing.
Just sayin’ He was 20-21 years when he wrote this masterpiece.. almost 40 years ago and it’s still fresh!! Amazing!!
Spine tingling awesomeness
Been listening to this epic since I was 14. Gets better with age.
Absolut krass,👍👍👍👍👍👍
At 2:35 I am transported back to 1979, being a 14year old and the first time I ever heard this masterpiece of an album
Before my time, but Id have loved that show. Was it just him at that point or was he still with Tubeway Army?
Amazing
What a track !!! I remember listening to this when Replicas was first released and it still gives me goosebumps. 40 years on. Only Gary Numan can write songs like this
I cant say it better than any of the comments below and agree with them all, life-changing since 1979 for me
TWO DISLIKES!!! What more could you want.
This is f*****g brilliant!!!
Puts a shiver down my spine everytime I hear this.
Brilliant song
Lrts trip together on a peice of cacti
I know it’s just awesome opening
Must have been a Millennial or Gen Z
That just proves the world is full of morons.. I've yet to hear a numan song that I could dislike
Brought it all back to me, Gary still got it, so original, a unique & talented man.
Love you Gary xxx
I was there too that night, was bloody awesome, and singing him Happy Birthday was something never to be forgotten.
This song has gotten better with age. Incredible!
This song jams loyal fan since 79. 44 years non stop
I think I appreciate how good this track is more now then when I bought Replicas in 79
I love this live version. Listen to it with headphones on. It gives Replicas a cosmic thunderstorm of sound for our heads. Wonderful

@@cinsationalcinema1776 Absolutely glorious...
Icy thickness of ultimate power
Fkn awesome never ages what a start to any gig
He is a total musical icon
It's great to hear the oldies fleshed out and sounding as big as this.
Fantastic in 1979 and still is…
Seriously...
And I mean seriously..

I've only just discovered him recently. I really hope to see him in concert someday. Looks awesome!
Hope you have seen the legend live, I'm counting down to 2nd May 2022 in Brum
I remember listening to 'Are Friends Electric', being played loud, in my local NSS news agent on a warm spring day in 1979, was the first record I ever bought. =)
Gary Numan gave birth to the new era!
Same here - i went to WH Smith record dept. (do they still have those?) to buy it :-)
Great TASTE
Same here blew my mind numan fan ever since
I love Gary Numam...everything the man touches turns into sonic GOLD!
Never gets old. Masterpiece from master album
My first concert was Gary Numan on the Teletour. I never get bored of listening to his music.
OPENING SONG is my fave Gary Numan song!
Timeless and powerful
First heard "Cars" on alternative radio, but then they started to play the shit out of it...
But it was enough for my bud and I to go see his early concert W/ Nash The Slash for his opener...(on acid!) I didn't think I could get any more into both artists until I found their other albums on Ytube. This artist ROCKS beyond what any words can describe!!!
He's been going since the seventies, Harry, His live performances are as good as, if not BETTER than the studio, go see him if you can.
There will never be another
COMPLETE PERFECT!!!!
He gets alot of critisism but the man is a fantastic live performer. A pioneer for the electronic music era, and so influential to so many bands now. I've seen him live so many times, met him once and it's all good! Dedicated to Cedric Sharpley, great drummer. RIP
The best version of the best Numan song.....Legendary or what !
Paris 1980 still takes some beating.
Increases volume. Presses play. Closes eyes. Transported back to age 16. Neighbours hate me but I don't care.
His music is awesome let the good times roll
i got this man 40 years a go fuck he is still so good
I was there at the front amazing night loved every second of that concert.
Well, what did you expect? It's Gary Numan, the Godfather of Industrial Electronic music.
It's supposed to have computerized compositions.
Not heard this version before, love it, hypnotic,
Me too Peter I do like it
Best opening ever? I think so.. ❤️
The live version of "Replicas" (especially this performance of it) is so much better than the album version. I would have loved to have been there.
Amazing 👏
forever a fan
Love the old stuff but what a version
Thank you Gary, for everything.
I know the guitarist. Chris, best mates, we both auditioned for Gary when Steve Fox-Harris (Gary's full time guitarist) was unable to play for him at the time... Chris got the gig(s). Hehe.
Jackal Fox lucky bastard, lol
Nice to hear! Do you know how he makes that awful guitar sound? Connected to a synth? I tried to connect my guitar to my synth, but couldn’t make it.. Musically yours Liselotte in Sweden (This song and Metal (from Pleasure Priciple) made me start playing guitar and synth in the 70’s.. and I still do..)
That long guitar strap of his really annoyed me, made me want to run on stage and shorten it for him so he could reach the strings.
@Jackal l smell bullshit!
Unbelievably great. X
I was at this gig. Mine and Gary's birthday. A very special night. Some of the best live versions of these tracks since Wembley
I can't wait for Gary to come back to the states haven't seen him since 09
Magic
Intro is incredible..............
Gary numan and David bowie - there is nothing else to say
I was there, brilliant night
Just simply amazing
