Incredibly sad news tonight of the passing of Chris Cross, bass player with Ultravox. The version with John Foxx in the 1970s was one of my favorite bands. They played their last shows in March 1979 at the Cuckoo's Nest and The Whiskey. John Foxx went solo and the rest continued on with Midge Ure as the singer. Once Gary Numan and Human League had success as synth bands, John Foxx and Ultravox MK2 had more success and hits in the 1980s.
Chris' Bass sound was always top notch! Here is great as always! I wish someday Midge, Foxx and the other Ultravox would do a Ultra-ultravox reunion! That would destory the music world!
I attended this gig. They were opening act for Eddie & the Hot Rods. I was in London for 1 week (some sort of school trip - from Brussels). Two days later, I was at the Roxy Club to see The Adverts & THE DAMNED!!! Another craaaaaaaaaazy night. I was just 18.
