Wow.. Son muy buenos...canta muy bien muy bonito en vivo... Creí que esa voz era arreglada por la tecnología... Pero no definitivamente tiene la voz es la de el y es real... Que timbre...son muy buenos estos OMD
Cuando ellos iniciaron a fines de los años 70s no había la tecnología, al menos tan perfecionada, para modular la voz de los cantantes y menos el sonido de los instrumentos.
Me preguntó, por que Omd en sus conciertos de hoy en dia tocan pocas canciones de "Sugar tax", y "Liberator" , extraño canciones como "Speed of light", "Call my name", "Stand above me" and "Drem of me"
Man oh man outstanding vocals even with all the dancing.
superbe nouveau single d'OMD !!
OMD de mis bandas favoritas de los 80´s, su música me encanta y me alegro que sigan activos, que Dios los bendiga y sigan cantando por favor !!!

una del club Nebula en Miraflores, Lima. Clasica!
The 80s were great in about. 83 bought a linear tracking turntable I was the s*** man
There is a distinct lack of Paul Humphreys in this video. I love Liberator, but there is something off when Paul isn't there.

Tienen muy buenas canciones en sugar tax y liberator, lo malo es que actualmente no las tocan en vivo
Which month, date and place was this show?
