@1000GigGuy @Vicar_Street I also suspect the last return (in darkness by way of protest) was after checking the minimum duration he had to perform contractually without penalty.

About last night! #Tricky @Vicar_Street Bad one! Hope he's okay🙏 Could speculate,I'll stick to some facts: 1st tour date had cancelled-this was 2nd! Played for 55mins! Couldn't hear him! Band & singers were great! He took band off stage! Came back,final 10mins in total darkness!

@1000GigGuy @Vicar_Street Very disappointing. And I say that as a battle-scarred veteran of his Ambassador and Academy gigs, knowing he has form. Clearly not prepared for live performing yet, and I noticed the tour opening gig in Nottingham on Sunday cancelled at short notice. Tough for @foggynotions

@ThomasSilken Often have to pause when I remember he is gone so soon, but take consolation from the sublime musical legacy he left.

I will always contend Talk Talk’s It’s My Life is one the best written songs of all time. listen to the bassline! break down the insane chord changes! Hollis always singing like he’s about to ride into battle for some reason!

@AkaPaulHoward Fish still getting headline gigs since the acrimonious Marillion split 40 years ago. Fair play to him.

@paranoiacs Hard to beat the unique experience of the full 69 song set performed over three nights though! Quite the emotional rollercoaster. Came out appreciating the magic of that album even more.

'69 Love Songs' is the Magnetic Fields' LP that is justifiably lionized as a big conceptual swing, but 1995's New Order-On-A-Fostex-4-Track 'Get Lost' is the great LP of theirs that I turn to most . A counter-factual history of indie-rock where Roxy Music replaces rock. A prayer.

@hering_david Managed to get to all three of these performances. Hearing Invitation to the Blues, Heart of Saturday Night, Hoist that Rag, etc etc was a life milestone never to be forgotten.

I’m insanely grateful to have seen Tom Waits live. He’s played one English gig in the last 40 years. He’d not played in London for 17 years when I saw him. He said ‘l know, 17 years….but you look good!’

@pitchfork Respectfully disagree. It's a strong album, but the high watermark from that era was Maxinquaye. By some distance. Timeless masterpiece.

@Srirachachau Lovely appearance by them both on Irish television a good while back. She is a gem, and apparently brought in the ban on saxophones that led to the end of Tom's barfly era and arguably made him the great he / they both became. youtu.be/QdPrI55yMsQ?si…

Tom Waits is awesome because his wife by all accounts made him much weirder, turning him onto his hobo circus shit

@AGoldmund Rawhead Rex. The ancient king is rudely awoken and not happy. Early Clive Barker needing a remake.

@christianjbdev BBC had a good go at it a while back, to their credit. But yes, needs the full big budget treatment. Get Vileneuve on it after he wraps Dune and Rendezvous with Rama.

Too much Harry Potter and LOTR. We need a Gormenghast revival. British fantasy work published a decade before LOTR, and every bit its equal. Except it’s so weirdly eccentric and difficult to read that it will never have the same popularity.

No record in the world sounds better when you’re on the tube than West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys. You’re instantly in an Adam Curtis documentary about 1986.
