Mon 14 Jul – Yazoo: ReconnectedI've been putting this review off purposely as it will be difficult for me to be completely objective for the reason that I'm a much bigger fan of
Alison Moyet than of
Yazoo. Don't get me wrong! I loved Yazoo's
Upstairs at Eric's when it was first released, and I consider it to be one of my many favorites to this day.
You and Me Both is equally good, but I never became quite as familiar with that one until recently. (They released only the 2 CDs and a single or 2 before abruptly splitting, Vince going off to form
Erasure and Alison beginning her solo career.) I truly loved synth-pop (or whatever you choose to call it) throughout the early to late '80s, but I now find it somewhat dated. Yazoo is an exception, however, due to Alison's voice and Vince's genius. Still, I prefer Alison's solo material to her Yazoo stuff. So, with that in mind...
We drove to Chicago from Detroit (about a 5-hour excursion) to see the show…
