How was Gabs? He was brilliant in the 80's - way, way ahead of his time - compared to most.

Saw him at the O2 London on Monday...great as usual, but not as many high energy 'tricks' as the Growing Up tour.

Leeds.

Not one of the best known songs on the album is "We Do What We're Told". It's just a wonderful little track which leaves the main vocals to the very end. Very atmospheric.

It was used in an episode of Miami Vice too.
