Picture - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark) Performing live at the re-launched Eric's club in Liverpool. Eric's influence on the music scene was legendary. With early gigs from Blondie, Buzzcocks, The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Jam, Joy Division, The Police, The Sex Pistols and The Stranglers. LiverpoolÕs music scene in the late 1970's was an exciting and dynamic place to be. Everyone was either in a band, in-between bands or were forming a band. In the midst of all this activity was Eric's Club - a small discreet venue that was a favoured haunt for the people who would later form bands such as The Teardrop Explodes, Echo & The Bunnymen and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. So it was quite apt that Eric's was the venue of choice for the debut performance of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark in October 1978. Liverpool, England - 10.09.11

The Things They Say: 3650796

"Mick (Jagger) called me and said, 'You wanna sit in with us?' and I said, 'Let me think about it...?' It was fantastic... and before I knew it I was at soundcheck at the arena... They soundcheck for nearly two hours... all of them, and then took a break, and then did their two-and-a-half hour show. It's amazing; their stamina is insane." KEITH URBAN on performing with the Rolling Stones during their 50 & Counting tour opener in Los Angeles on Friday night (03May13).
