I saw today that The Psychedelic Furs are playing here next week. That was quite a shock as I didn't know they were still on the go! I used to like (some of) their records - still think their first two albums are blinders ... but that was obviously a long time ago! Has anybody seen them recently or heard what they're like these days? Would be interested to know. I quite fancy going but I've got a busy few days ahead already gigwise and I have to watch those céntimos...

There is a house of blues live CD from 2001 - not bad, Richards's voice sometimes wavers but they are one of the greatest bands ever FACT!

Apart from midnight to Midnight

Splendid band.

I saw them in ?1989 in Brighton - when they were still great, but that was a long time ago - or was it? Is it still the original band? Playing for a meal ticket? ...

Wish they would play round here.....

Book of days was a bit of a dog's egg too.

I saw them also in Brighton in 84 & then again on the midnight to midnight tour.
There are a few good songs on that album, but the shiny clothes were really not them.
Butler's voice is fabulous & if anyone get's round to it, check out Love Spit Love.

If the House Of Blues recording from 2001 is anything to go by then I'd certainly go for it!

The two Love Spit Love albums are both great ... as is Richard Butlers eponymous solo effort of 2006.

I reckon that the 2nd and 3rd albums are their strongest ... agree that Book Of Days and Midnight To Midnight are their weakest ... also feel that World Outside seemed to be a somewhat under-rated return to form after that period.
