Psychedelic Furs' 2001
Fall Tour live
November 22,2001 at Koolhaus(Toronto):
Most original members were
back... sans Sax/Wood, Roger Morris & Vince Ely.

a few pics from a great show...

A good size crowd arrived
early as a DJ Set(by GLIDE - a collab with Bunnyman Will Sergeant) warmed the crowd up for 'openers' Psychedelic Furs.
Earlier, Brit ex-pat Richard Butler was scheduled for an on-air radio interview
with Edge102(cfny) whom played Furs tunes throughout their 80's career.

The touring Line-Up included:
Richard Butler (voice), Tim Butler (bass), John Ashton (guitar), Richard
Fortus (guitar/cello) with Frank Ferrer (drums) & Gordon Raphael -
keyboards(both from Love Spit Love).

Once, the lights went out
the audience was enchanted by Richard Butler's stage presence. After
the first song the crowd had a chance to breathe and realized what they
had been missing for a decade. The Furs' offspring project 'Love Spit Love' played town on Oct.07.97

In 2000, the Furs played a "comeback" tour with 80's bands the Go-Go's & the B-52s in the USA. They then worked on a few new Furs songs(likely Alive & Wrong Train). Earlier this year their Spring
2001 solo 'reunion' Tour started on March 23,2001 in Plainview, New York at
The Vanderbilt Theater & ended on 12 May 2001 in Boston at The Avalon.
After that tour they mixed recorded live tracks or their Live Video VHS/DVD
"The Psychedelic Furs - Live from House of Blues" 2001. IMO, get
the DVD DTS Surround Sound version(w/ extras).

They have since joined Echo
& the Bunnymen(pix coming) on a co-headlining tour. Mac &
Co had played here 3 times in the same number of years recently and it
had been a very long stretch since the Furs played near Toronto.
I was rather surprised to find them opening this evening. Along with
their excellent implementation of their 'Hits' back catalogue(Heaven, President
Gas, Ghost in You, Pretty in Pink), my highlight was the new tune ALIVE!
For the first time in my Lifetime, I'm not Dead. -RB.

Engaging the audience, Richard
Butler reminded them it had been a while since they'd been to town.

'Beautiful Chaos—Greatest Hits
Live' is the new Disc
released Nov.20.01 in USA. It was recorded at the Los Angeles House
of Blues in April 2001.
