Last nights concert was being recorded by Edgar Wright - not sure if it's for a live DVD or part of his documentary.

So here I am in Sunny Bournemouth ready for tomorrow's gig. Sparks on stage time 7.50pm according to the venue, 45 minute set. I am here as I was unable to attend the UK dates due to holiday. I am going to Cologne and Utrecht to rectify that. Also hoping to get to Copenhagen. Could someone please pm me the set lists from last week, not post them, so it doesn't spoil it for anyone going in Europe. Thanks in advance.
Billy

Leeds and London trumped Glasgow. On this forum, I'd always said Glasgow crowds were the best too. Standing ovations both nights spread like wildfire over both balconies, filled to the gunnels. Actually, in Glasgow, when we rose to our feet, the ushers waved us back down with a no-nonsence insistence. In London, the brilliant performance

of one awesome song even sparked an ovation on its own.

The band seemed to perform with more passion every night too.

Setlists highlighted Sparks's diversity, contemporary success, past achievements, pioneering spirit MiniPop

and influence. They also reflected fans'

favourites, though that could never be exhaustive. Indeed, there's never scope in the space of one evening to cover everything Sparks have done that is brilliant. And that becomes more impossible year on year. Sparks just get better and better.

Overheard one cockney accent at the end declaring, "This is seriously the best thing I've ever seen on stage".

43 years after first seeing Sparks live, I’ve decided to do something I’ve pondered on for far too long and go and see them play on their own turf. LA here I come !
