Tonight I'm with the almost-birthday boy seeing the Psychedelic Furs, a band I first saw live 40 years ago(!) at the Mesa Amphitheatre with my brother Bill.
The Furs were having an MTV moment with “Mirror Moves” (“The Ghost in You” and “Heaven” videos were in medium rotation, as was “Love My Way” from two years prior) and the Bangles opened, supporting their debut LP, “All Over the Place.” (Jesus and Mary Chain, about whom I somehow know nothing, are opening tonight.)
Crowd this time is less patchouli oil and clove cigarettes and more Bengay rub and hip replacements — Damian’s never felt younger! 🎂❤️🙏
UPDATE:
A fellow concertgoer's clip of "Heaven," which may have reduced me to tears, as well as the equally wonderful "Ghost in You."
