Saw Erasure about 3 years ago with the True Colours Tour. Had no idea it was really a gay rights rally. A family of four were there and I guess they had no idea either, so when Margret Cho came on stage talking about raping the Pope.. 15 mins was enough for them and they left. Debbie Harry was there, but couldn't do any Blondie.. so we got stuck with some obscure numbers and Yayo. Cindy Lauper was good too. But then Erasure came on and I swear every single gay guy just started dancing. Erasure still puts on one hell of a performance.

I've had Black Celebration stuck in my head for nearly a week.
I've seen them twice but on the most recent tours. The first gig for Playing the Angel was amazing. No support act and played for nearly three hours straight and still left songs that I wanted to hear out. I tingle just thinking about it. The last time, there were a lot of health issues going on with Gahan and the show got postponed a few times but eventually he did a great show. At that gig, it is Gore's performance of A Question of Lust that was unforgettable. There is a clip of it on Youtube somewhere but you really had to be there.
Erasure were fun live and I saw them in Oakland. I texted somebody and said that I was watching one of gayest bands in one of the gayest towns and it was fantastic. So many guys there were off their heads on one substance or another and just looking to have a great time and made sure that they did.
