I think they realised (or hope they did) every night of the Brilliant Tour when they walked onto the stahe of a packed auditoreum night after night. Their music was innovative, inspired and unique in the 80's and it has remained timeless as it is just as fresh today and far, far better than most of the music of the past two decades. 🎼🎹🎸🎤🎻🎛🖥

Midge needs to be interviewed a lot more as he has such a balanced and informed view of so many important milestones in the music industry. I thought he handled this interview perfectly. Plus brilliant production, questions and delivery from the guys at Electronic Cafe. Just awesome! 👏

I was at the Hammersmith gig, in the early 80's I remember going to the loo when Reap the Wild Wind was playing, the walls were moving, One of the best gigs ever.
Without question, Ultravox has always been my No 1.
As a synth player, they were my inspiration. We just got back with the band 38 years later.
I was at a music event in a hotel in London, Midge was going to turn up, after many hours, and disappointed I went to the Bar Next to the Hammersmith Venue, just under the Bridge, the plan lord informed me Midge had been at the bar all day lol
Mark, you must have been there too I was a few years older, such a memory

That’s partly true. We’d been emailing each other for nearly a year and also met (spoke) at his book signing - but we did bump into him in the streets of Soho and within a week we’d filmed it. The planets aligned and Midge was fantastic.

Just stumbled across this. Great interview. Been a fan since the year dot but I was too young to travel to London to see them in 81 at the Hammersmith Odeon. So imagine my delight when they got back together back in I think 2009 and I finally managed to see them at the Hammersmith Apollo all those years later. Saw them in Brighton the night before as well and was back at the Apollo a year later for Part two! Life's ambition realised. Got VIP tickets for one of them but sadly once face to face with Midge to ask a question the words stumbled out of my mouth and I felt such a buffoon. However, all four of the guys couldn't have been be nicer.

I have loved Ultravox and Midge Ure since I can remember........... Don't remember actual dates (late 79 or during 80) but while I was still living in Scotland I was involved in a car crash and had the tickets for their concert in Edinburgh in the glove compartment........... I made sure to retrieve the tickets before the ambulance took me to the hospital................ I got away with a few stitches but the car was a write-off............. good thing I took the tickets :) I have lived in Germany since October 1990............ with Covid and everything the last couple of years some concerts I'd bought tickets for were postponed/cancelled............... Midge's concert in Aschaffenburg last October wasn't......... I took my (then) 24 year-old daughter (she's grown up listening to 80s music and Ultravox specially) and she ❤'d it - as did I................... He sounds exactly like the "Vienna" days.............. and the whole place was rocking :) If he comes back I'll definitely go see him again (and I think my daughter would go with me :) )

Awww this is fabulous in every way!! Love love Midge Ure!!
Somehow just discovered your channel... about time!
Well, I actually put together a playlist of electronic 80s music/artists that French DJs played in discothèques near Lyon where we had many many Italian immigrants so the music was a bit catered to them, so among all the "Italo disco" playlists out there mine is quite different because the Lyon area was not "all of Europe" so I'd suggest you check it, you can find it on my channel under "80sEuroDiscotheque+".

Astradyne was a strange opener since it set a space journey vibe to the album wich the rest of the songs never touch on again.

It was a new era and decade. Astradyne announced that, and the fusion of synths, thrashing guitars, and new romance with classical vibes on the following tracks, grabbed Astradyne's baton and ran.......

Midge war und ist einer der besten britischen innovative musicians ever, listening since1979 als ich 18 war, started with sleepwalk.. Great to have hin alive and kicking..

Was Bad, Kind of echoeing when he speaks.. for me as a GER much More harder to understand
