Simple, effective gig, which showed that Midge still has it.
His backing band are also extremely talented and provide ample support to the main man.
A few shares with the audience, that helped draw everyone in closer.
Report as inappropriate
Probably the best concert in 2019! What a creator of evergreens from his Visage/Ultravox 1980 tenure. Brillantly performed... I hope he continues touring like this; I can’t wait to be back...

MIDGE URE ‘1980’ TOUR ANNOUNCED FOR 2020
- AustralianMusician
- May 21, 2019
![midge ure tour australia](https://australianmusician.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/MIDGE_URE-Landscape-662x500.jpg)
Scottish New-Wave artist Midge Ure has today announced his Australian return tour, set to bring the sound of 1980, down under in 2020.
Previously in Australia for a quick, limited run of sold-out acoustic shows in 2015, Midge Ure returns to Australian shores in 2020 with a full band, a fuller sound and a brand new tour focusing on iconic hits from acclaimed album ‘Vienna’
Brought to life by Midge Ure and Band Electronica, this is the very first time in nearly 40 years that the ‘Vienna’ album will be performed in its entirety in Australia. It is also the first time that many of the songs from the debut Visage album will be played live by the man who was one of the creative forces behind the project.
With shows confirmed for Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth, crowds around the country will finally have a chance at seeing Midge Ure’s back catalogue, which includes ‘Fade To Grey’, ‘Vienna’, ‘Dancing With Tears in My Eyes’ and ‘Yellow Pearl’, which was written with Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott.
“Australians always embraced musical experimentation and change and certainly took Ultravox and Visage to their hearts” Said Midge Ure. “I remember filming the acceptance speech for the single of the year Brit award for Vienna in the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge during an Ultravox tour. I’m looking forward to coming back to celebrate that innovative and creative period.”
At the end of the 1970s momentous change was afoot in Britain and the world – in society, politics, fashion and culture – and the musical landscape was also about to change forever. The guitar-driven dominance that had propelled rock and punk throughout the decade was about to end, as synthesizers signalled the sound of the future and video transformed the look of the pop charts. The 1980s were about to explode into life and nothing would be the same again.
At the heart of this seismic leap into a futuristic new dawn were two records that set the template for much of what was to follow. Visage’s single ‘Fade To Grey’ from the band’s debut eponymous album and Ultravox’s single ‘Vienna’ from the album of the same name were global hits that shared the same stark ambience, European aesthetic and electronic heart. The albums that birthed those landmark singles expanded that sonic palette even further and brought the art-school alternative into the very centre of the mainstream.
Both records were co-written, recorded and produced by one of the leading characters in British music, Midge Ure, and not only transformed the charts around the globe but his life in the process.

Midge Ure is known in the music industry and among fans as one of the most hardworking, multitalented and genuine players in the business.
The Scottish singer, guitarist and keyboardist has worked with iconic acts such as Thin Lizzy, Visage and Ultravox and enjoys a successful solo career with hits "If I Was," "Dear God" and "Breathe."
He co-wrote and co-produced the 1984 Band Aid charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" with Bob Geldof to raise funds to fight an Ethiopian famine. That song turns 40 in November, with interviews and promotion planned.
Geldof and Ure also organized the 1985 global concert, Live Aid, watched by 2 billion people in 150 countries—and they continue to engage in charitable projects through the Band Aid Trust.
Ure is currently in the middle of a North American tour and makes a rare appearance in Atlanta at The Earl on Sunday, Sept. 8, 2024 where he performs songs from his Band in a Box outing.
He spoke with GPB's Kristi York Wooten about the camaraderie of putting together Live Aid with his peers —and the setlist of songs he's playing on the road now. Below are excerpts from the conversation.
On how he chose the songs for the Band in a Box tour
I chose a combination of the tracks I thought people might recognize because of college radio back in the 80s, or the independent radio stations, or things they may have seen on MTV... So, I delved into some of that, and I have to satisfy myself as well. I can't just go out there and churn out the old hits forever. It becomes painting by numbers if you're not too careful about it. I try and avoid making it stagnant or stale or whatever. So, I chose songs that I still certainly enjoy playing. That makes up the setlist. We've even thrown in " Astradyne," a five-minute-long instrumental piece right in the middle of the set. And I think people are really surprised that I don't keep "Vienna" or "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" or whatever until the very end of the set, like most people do. I've staggered the set so that it's got its highs and lows and its moments and the breathing space. So it seems to work incredibly well.
On working with Beatles producer George Martin back in the day
I've described him many, many times in the past as a cross between your father and your favorite schoolteacher. He was so knowledgeable and so funny. He was such a raconteur. He just told you a brilliant story. I mean, sitting in a room and the man's telling you stories about the Beatles. It was just ludicrous... There was a moment when I was singing, when we were doing recording with him at Montserrat Air studios, George and his engineer, Geoff Emerick. George turned to Geoff and said, "The vocals aren't sounding quite right. Do we have John's mic?" And I'm wondering "What's going on?" And this thing appeared, this is an old microphone that was John Lennon's vocal mic. And then [George] got it set up, and I was scared to go near this thing. I think, "I'm singing in John Lennon's mic!" ... Plus the fact that Ultravox were a difficult band to tell what to do or to guide. So we needed someone who commanded huge respect so that when he said, "Hey, I think you need to rethink the ending here," that we would actually listen to him take heed. So it was a brilliant experience.
On the camaraderie of musicians who performed for Band Aid and at Live Aid
There is a camaraderie . It felt like something seismic was happening around that period and it was simple for the artists to kind of step up and do their thing. We weren't being asked to climb a mountain. We weren't being asked to fly a 747 or perform brain surgery, something difficult. We wanted us to do what we do. You step on stage, and you perform. So it was quite simplistic in its way. And there was a bonding. I didn't know half the artists personally, who were on there, but I know them now. I think maybe back in the day and certainly the early 80s, if you were doing a television show with a bunch of artists, you'd be too busy sucking your cheeks in and looking haughty in the corridor as you walk past someone. But that was about it. But it all seemed to change round about the mid-eighties, and that was a feeling of, "Wow, this is us. We are doing this. We're giving something back."We were using a platform that we created that's deemed fluffy and disposable. And all of the sudden we were, for a short period, showing governments the way. We were showing them and showing them up, embarrassing them into having to do something. And that makes you feel like part of the club not that you were doing anything particularly brilliant yourself, but there's a power in a crowd. One person standing up saying, "This is wrong" doesn't get heard. A million people standing up saying, "This is wrong," there's a whole different ballgame. So 2 billion people watching Live Aid standing up saying, "This is wrong," — can change the earth's tilt on its axis a little bit.
