14 ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK, Fiction Factory, London Hammersmith Odeon, Sunday 3 June 1984

Went on Rimes Coaches again! Support Fiction Factory were horrible; gave them a rousing reception of boos from our rear balcony spots, and got a mention from them when we cheered as they announced their last number! OMD were promoting new LP "Junk Culture" but their set consisted of most of their upbeat and radio-friendly synth pop hits, set closer "Enola Gay" providing "a last chance to dance," according to OMD vocalist Andy McCluskey, but encore "Electricity" capping a not brilliant, but nevertheless very entertaining night out.

28 ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK, Alternative Radio, Chippenham Golddiggers, Wednesday 12 June 1985

Got the train there with my brother, and my dad gave us a lift home; the one and only time from a gig! The support were forgettable, but OMD, despite promoting new, slightly darker and disappointing LP "Crush", played their usual "Greatest Hits" set of their upbeat synth pop, with set closer "Enola Gay" and encore "Electricity" real highlights, as usual.
