Thanks for posting this great concert footage. I was also there in the front crowd. I was thoroughly impressed with Marc's performance & the backdrop videos were amazing. This year for me was the best Cruel World so far..

With the major focus on Marc Almond, it seems that David Ball gets lost a bit. Too bad, as his synth parts really cemented that first album (and the singles before it) into my being. He took Kraftwerk and Suicide and made them sound like someone human could do it. Then add Almond's vocals over the top and Wow - what a combination! Neither has hit those heights again without the other. A perfect duo.

I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on David Ball. I assume you know that's not David on stage in this video. It's a guy standing in. David has been unwell the last while unfortunately.

Didn't hear them for years or decades. Now all the memories from the 80s are present. Me at my friend listened and followed up all the Electronic releases at that time. Love Synthpop so much.

That was my young years in London - seedy city getting to know you - living in bedsit land - having a conversation with a sex dwarf in a pub - experiencing tainted love - with chips in my shoulder - Insecure me but with a torch for a nostalgia machine.... Soft Cell and the Smiths saved my life - Made sense of being the Outsider... It was fun times - Thanks for posting - Seen Soft Cell live last year and they were amazing.

I love and die for the first 5 Simple Minds albums but I looked at their performance at Cruel World 2024 and sorry to say, it was bland as hell. Soft Cell killed them by a mile. You certainly made the wrong decision who to see (ooops) ... Is aw Simple Minds a few months ago in Australia and they were amazing compared to a few days ago.

Such a gracious man. Spoke to him in the phone once when my friend who was a promoter was trying to bring him to America when he was doing his solo stuff. Some reason he could not get a visa or something. He called to thank us for trying and was so nice.

Gloria Jones would be proud. Encore Sleaze, or fun city edit (I like the live edit this time, but previously enjoyed the 12” lyrics added, including Cindy Ecstasy... but the show is much better... visually too, not just exotic replayed. Much improved live act, on fire, rocking hard! Yesssss

Good and forceful set. I would have preferred also to include one or the other odd number of 1983 / 1984 Soft Cell material and why not include again such a fantastic new song as "Happy Happy, Happy"? I do think it is unfair to compare them to their 1980s persona. Early Soft Cell held this "teenage angst" the older Soft Cell outfit (obviously) cannot represent any more. Once you accept that, it's actually pretty good.....

@klaurcschwackerberg1880 2 ай бұрын

Singer without a live band feels a bit like a cheap Karaoke show ! Seems to can't afford musicians but while cashing big time for the gig. This would fit much better in a karaoke bar, no matter a legend or not.

@tamaraclaire1842 2 ай бұрын

if you bothered to see any videos it was usually just Dave Ball on synth and Marc Almond singing. Why should they change to satisfy later generation morons
