Hearing forever Now was like feeling rain drops on a dry hot day. I am young, listening to the furs on Vinyl. So in love with this band. Such great times. I forgot how raw and cool they were.
I'm in agreement that the early P-Furs were remarkable and the later editions lacked drive, energy and meaning. Their first American show at the Paradise Club in Boston on. October 1, 1980 was transformative. Butler, in his kimono jacket and Chinese slippers pranced hypnotically around the stage sprouting out disjointed fragments of lyrics that the audience could only grasp unconsciously. The drummer and Kilburn's sax drove the band forward aggressively while Butler taunted the audience and pained himself. A new music was in the process of being formed. Rock, Dylan, Punk and Jazz were flowing into a giant swirl of confusion and ecstasy. And, the opening act that night, Boston's "Mission of Burma" was amazing, creating their own dream of noise and oblivion. What happened to the later editions of the band?. I can only imagine it was about money, greed and ego. The Butlers decided appealing to a wider audience and money was more important than creativity and leaving a legacy. Money tempts us all; only a few can resist.
It sounds like everyone is playing a different song but it comes together like noone else. David Bowie and Johhny Rotten rolled into one. Holy fuck I love them still at 59 years young.
In MY opinion : The greatest band on the face of the earth. Period.
i 100% agree!
The most unique rock band ever... If you try to sound similar it comes across as copying v
I would say last best, for sure. And perhaps the most bitingly satirical band ever. Pointed social commentary.
Mirror Moves is one of my favourite ever albums.
My favorite band.
Brilliant stuff
I was there and it was mind blowing and one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Wish there was more footage from this period. This lineup was their best and Talk Talk Talk was the best record they put out

Saw them in 84 and it was one of the best shows i have ever been to.
UVa possibly? I saw them there, then. Unreal.

Hostia, qué grande/- s (ya entonces...)

Butler❤
Enjoyed this band in 82-83 Virginia Beach and they were awesome!
Richard Butler comes off like Johnny Rotten on valium

The 1st 3 albums were better than the later ones. Makes no sense to fire Morris and Kilburn.
Book of Days and Midnight to Midnight were great
We need Dexbam!

The vocals are mostly off key but nobody cared at the time. Sounds truly horrible. ;-)
Go listen to your SWIFTY trash..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this band, but his display is a disgrace.
