As soon as I entered the Agora, the front lobby was full of heavy smoke. The crowd waiting the show was quite diverse, from 8 to 80…..dressed in everything from punk to goth to rockers.
The show was a difficult shoot with heavy smoke and bright lights behind the artists making focus and clarity an issue.
Sparks featuring brothers Russell and Ron Mael took the stage with Russell dancing all over the stage and Ron remaining stoic behind his keyboards.
The songs performed were as follows:
So May We Start
Do Things My Own Way
Reinforcements

Please Don’t Fuck Up My World
