Review: OMD bring the old and the new to the stage with a gig that did not disappoint

I first saw OMD supporting Simple Minds in, I’m guessing, 2009, I loved them before, growing up with them in the 80s, but that cemented my love of them live. Fast forward some decade and I began to see more and more of the band when I could and have never been disappointed. And here we are in 2024 and they’re still producing quality. Having listened to the new Bauhaus Staircase album I knew seeing them perform on stage again was going to be a treat.

I recall seeing him at a gig held at Doncaster Rovers football ground and him saying he was 59 and watching him and thinking, good grief, I can’t do that and I’m a decade younger, in fact, could I ever move like that??? Keyboard player Paul Humphreys is still the quiet character in the corner but takes centre stage to deliver Forever Live and Die, another classic.
