This concert is incredibly 24 years old and still sounds fresh and relevant. The recording,at Hammersmith Odeon, is of a whole concert from Numan's first UK tour, following the huge success of Are Friends Electric, Cars and the two albums Replicas and The Pleasure Principle.
It showcases a polished performance by a tight band. The setlist is a comprehensive summary of his career at that point and is also a good historical piece of electronica.

Living Ornaments 79 is Gary Numan's earliest official live recording and despite the fact that it captures him at his most nervous and inexperienced, it remains a first-class record of his first major tour.
For me, this has always been the most essential Numan live album, partly because it was the only Numan UK tour I ever missed (I was 13 at the time and my parents deemed me too young to attend!) and has consequently acquired a mystique that keeps me returning to it more than 30 years later, but mainly because of the sheer quality of the material here.
The setlist is largely comprised of songs from his first three albums, all of which are delivered with panache by the energetic band (Paul, Ced - RIP). Since Numan had only recently been promoted to synth-God, both his guitar-driven early work and the subsequent synth-led material is very well represented on this recording. And very nicely they sit together too.
But the album's finest moment for me is the sequence of `Bombers', (a chillingly creepy version of an early Tubeway Army single), a cover of `On Broadway' (a showcase for keyboardist Billy Currie of Ultravox!) and `Remember I Was Vapour' (the fans' first taste of next year's `Telekon' album), which are all connected by one continuous drum-machine pattern, providing a curiously rickety, off-kilter rythmn across all three songs. Bizarre. Wonderful. Worth the price alone.
Anyone who is interested in Numan's glory days will not be disappointed with this reissue, featuring as it does the entire concert (rather than the selected highlights on the original vinyl release). And if you splash out on sister albums `Living Ornaments 80' and `81' too, then you will have a priceless document of Numan's shows at the height of his mainstream popularity.
Recommended without reserve.

1979: Tubeway Army were like aliens from outer space!
It is my pleasure to review this fabulous live CD. Tubeway Army were riding high on the charts when I left New Zealand for Australia in November 1979. Read more
