This song is so amazing and has an incredible atmosphere coming off it. Futuristic, sad and dark and it just progresses. The Lyrics here are spoken from the last living machine's point of view the planet is dying and it's own power source is failing. M.E. (Mechanical Engineering) Sad we are destroying this earth parts of song make me cry and gets to the point my body chills as it progresses darker we don't know we are the mistake like Gary said and the earth needs to destroy us. This means so much Kieran James and Steve Stephen Roper this restoration means so much to me. Gary Numan and the band are a driving force in my life since 2001!
Agree. Was my first gig on this tour and was mesmerising. Talented line up. Didn't see him again til Marquee in 93 when he made a start on his comeback after Machine and Soul disaster.

Living Ornaments 79 and 80 are superbly recorded
Numan at his haunting best

Thank you Dave. I’m happy you enjoyed the restoration so much. It is slow and painstaking to do, so it’s nice when it is appreciated.
Quintessential Numan... still new, still genius
4:41 Wow. Rrussell Bell is really going for it.
So advance for his time! Definitely a Goat🎤
The live version beats the studio version anyday ❤❤
I do also like the original, but it's sooo slowww by comparison! 😅
These sound and look great! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome.
Как же это круто ❤❤❤
Thank you so so much for your work with the restoration
Superb Kieran💯🆒🆗
Thanks Dave
Brillant!!!
amazing
Brilliant! Really good visually and absolutely superb sound! What do you want to do with the full set when it is all cleaned up and enhanced?
I may put it together and upload it as one continuous concert but I think it's more likely to be removed in that format.
I already did this.
First 20 segs MASSIVE ATTACK use in one of their song.
And also Basement Jaxx in 'Where's Your Head At' 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gary Numan never bettered these 'Touring Principle' shows, the 'Teletour' came close but everything since paled by comparison.
