Summary
The post reflects on two iconic bands, China Crisis and The Vapors, during a live performance. China Crisis, known for their deep discography, opened with lively tracks like "King In A Catholic Style" and "Working With Fire + Steel," showcasing their rich history despite limited commercial success in the U.S. The Vapors followed, delighting fans with classics like "Prisoners" and "Turning Japanese," while also introducing newer material. The excitement was somewhat dampened by the news of drummer Michael Bowes’ health issues after shows.
Thought-Provoking Statement
As we witness these bands from the past revive their musical journeys, how do you think nostalgia impacts the way audiences receive their old hits, compared to new material?
