Are ‘Friends’ Electric?
GARY NUMAN With Ravishing Rendition Of His Great Classic ‘ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC?’ In London 2018
Striking live moments…
New wave/electro icon GARY NUMAN recorded his most famous stunner and mega
hit ‘ARE “FRIENDS” ELECTRIC?‘ with his band TUBEWAY ARMY back in 1979 for the Replicas LP. Every time I hear this overwhelming classic I feel shivers down my spine,
yes, still after all these years. And live you get an extra adrenalin injection like here with
this ravishing rendition in London in 2018 (part of his Savage tour) with an ecstatic
crowd in a state of euphoria.
Sing/scream along right here…
The concert is immortalized in a live album
called Savage Live At Brixton Academy.

It was released as a single a couple of months before the longplayer came out and peaked at #1 on the UK singles chart. Last year I saw Numan playing Belgium and this massive killer still sent shivers
down my spine with its irresistible swagger. Here we go…
