Ultravox

I saw Ultravox at The Roxy on the Sunset Strip back in the day.

Unlike me I prepared early, got tickets before I went down, wanted to make sure I was in. Was really, really looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't up on the latest news. To do that you had to spend money on imported magazines that were expensive back in the day. I spent my money on live shows instead.

Finally, it was happening. The band members came out and I recognized them all immediately. The last out...was Midge Ure. And I was expecting John Foxx. That was the reason I was there. 

The band put on an excellent show, impeccable even. They performed the entire Vienna album and it sounded great. Despite all of this I left the show disappointed, deflated that there was no John Foxx.
