I remember when the echo was inactive for almost 15 years.
Right now im listening to Pulp's first live album, its called LIVE!

18 songs of Pulp, what a worthy endevour. They have hit songs such as Common People,
Disco 2000, Do You Remember the First Time?, Misshapes, Spike Island and This is Hardcore.

I saw them twice live in California during their latest chapter of their career.
I even own autographed books from two of the members of Pulp.

Nice job. I'm more into the 80's and seen quite a lot of 80's acts that
have gone out on tour recently including Pet Shop Boys, Erasure,
Poison, Human League, Howard Jones, ABC, The (English Beat), Adam Ant.
I was never much of a concert person growing up and living in a village
in the middle of nowhere, getting to shows would have been difficult
anyway. I was much older when I started to appreciate live music and
have been fortunate to be able to see some great bands.

I saw ABC play back in 2021 where Martin Fry and his band played a small theater in California due to slightly lax quarantine rules and wanted to
play some shows back then. It was worth the money.

He signed my Golden Age of Wireless album. He was part of the Lost 80's
Live tour which is a whole bunch more bands I could add like The Tubes,
The Vapors, Wang Chung, A Flock of Seagulls, Missing Persons, Bow Wow
Wow, Dramarama, Naked Eyes, Boys Don't Cry, The Motels, and a bunch
more.

Oh how could I forgot Tom Bailey from The Thompson Twins, Squeeze, and
Hall & Oates...but wait, there's more... A-ha, Stacey Q, Josie Cotton,
Shannon, Men Without Hats, Big Country, China Crisis, Icicle Works,
Musical Youth, Modern English, The Escape Club, Trans-X, The Polecats,
Gene Loves Jezebel, The Untouchables, Animotion, ...I'm sure I've
forgotten some lol.

I saw ABC (Well, Martin and his band, as you say) at the Music Hall
at Fair Park in Dallas, about 3,400 capacity where he opened for Howard
Jones. It was definitely a great concert. Howard Jones wasn't as good
as I remember him being the first time, but that's probably because I
scored free GA tickets for House of Blues and managed to get right at
the front against the rail and there was a great vibe. Men Without Hats
were the 2nd opening band and they put on a great show of their own.

80's new wave inspired band All Hail the Silence opened and they were
pretty good also. I recommend checking them out if you're into that
genre.
