Saw #GaryNuman last night at The #Concert Hall in #Toronto - excellent show, great venue; was one of those shows where the #music was #loud but not so loud you walked out with a headache or your ears ringing. Also #generaladmission but there are seats upstairs in the balcony, which as an old fart I appreciated.
Really digging Numan's latest work (and all his classics of course), definitely would go see again. 10/10
Saw him 25 years ago in London and was surprised he was still going. His longevity is extremely impressive!
I'm also perpetually in awe at the fact that he wrote Cars in 30 minutes, for which he would still be a pop legend even if he hadn't written any other absolute classics.

This shows the value of preparation and of spending a lot of time goofing around producing nothing if you are doing creative stuff.
These lightning moments only happen because everyone in the room has thousands of hours of messing around with music under their belts.
Obviously, that's no guarantee (Bonham driving himself crazy trying to come up with a drum part for Black Dog, for example, before he realized he could just play a straight 4/4), but it helps!
Yes, the Eagles are probably the premier band in Column B. You know exactly what you are getting because it's exactly the same thing they have done every other time they have performed.
That kind of precision is certainly enormously impressive, but if I had a choice of which to see at any point in the 1970's, I'm choosing the three hours of extended versions, rearrangements, non-album covers, ludicrous vocal ad-libs, and occasional bum notes from the guitarist.
