ERASURE: The Tank, The Swan and The Balloon

This video again proves that Erasure's "Phantasmagorical Entertainment" was THE gig to have been at last year.

Andy is his usual energetic self and it's nice to see Vince taking part in many of the songs.

The backing dancers give themselves totally, and the backing singers are absolutely faultless.

This video shows just how versatile Erasure really are.

There are many mood swings, the most noticeable being the jump from a beautiful version of "Perfect Stranger" to a really wild "Sometimes". Heaven!

At the end, all you are left wondering is how the boys can ever top this - but doubtless they'll think of something!

Andy Bell's Ruby Slippers, Newcastle
