Sparks Live 2022 - A Steady Tour, Tour, Tour

  • A crowd-sourced film featuring footage from Sparks' 2022 tour. An attempt was made to feature songs from as many venues and as many angles as possible. Only those videos with the best sound and the most complete footage were selected, however there are a few cases where the beginnings of song are snipped due to the individual fan not starting the recording soon enough and are not due errors on the part of the producer of this film.
    This concert film is NOT FOR SALE. AT ALL. It is a labor of love for the countless Sparks fanatics and just a small way to give back to this wonderful group of people. We hope you enjoy it!

    What I like about Sparks is that they play the music exactly like the record. That's what most of the public really wants : a live exact rendition of the song. The Stranglers do the same. It may be kind of boring for the musicians but it's about pleasing the audience.

  • @davenamanda
    @davenamanda 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    So very humble, so sincere, down to earth and obviously appreciative of those who love and support them. No attitudes, no swollen ego, no BS! How can you not love these guys? They put their heart and soul into performing a GREAT show...it's obvious they feed off the audience and vice versa. Hoping they come to a venue in our neck of the woods sometime. Really would like to be a part of the excitement.

    Sparks in the late 1970s was a huge influence on my own Str8 Sounds music. Unlike some major influences, Sparks continues to be freaking incredible, fresh, with that Sprechgesang talk singing that is still my own style. THANKS for uploading this astonishingly fresh and relevant performance! Thrilling. Geniuses.

    In their documentary by Edgar Wright - which is a work of art btw - someone says that when they are in the studio they don’t need to talk about what they are doing - they just need to look at each other and it is as if they are communicating telepathically about what needs to happen next. There is a small example of this at 1:35:00
