Another super late gig review! Making an effort to get them done so hopefully I’ll be caught up in a few weeks’ time…
I had remembered differently, but my photo history informs me that Paul Young was actually on first and Go West closed the show. This is why I really need to be more prompt with my gig reviews!
Paul Young gave a great performance and his two backup singers were very memorable. Highlights for me were ‘Love of the Common People’ and ‘Come Back and Stay’ (the latter being one of my favourite songs of all time!).
Go West were pretty much the same as when I previously saw them with Cutting Crew – it was Paul Young I was really there for. Nevertheless I enjoyed the show, ‘King of Wishful Thinking’ being my favourite track.
The setlist from this exact concert is not available, but here’s the same one from a few days later on the tour.
Importantly, I’m back to ticking off artists on my Band Aid baby bucket list! Paul Young sings the first line of the song, so he’s a good one to collect.
