It's strange to think that on this day, Numan's birthday, he turns 68 years of age. That means that I am kicking at the door of 60 myself. Taking the anniversary thing one step further it will be 44 years in September since the release of 'I, Assassin', which he toured in the US playing 19 dates in all. This gig from the Park West Theatre in Chicago was the last night of that tour.
It is a pity that the material from the 'Dance'/'I, Assassin' period never got much of an airing in the UK (exceptions being, from memory, 'Stories' (Teletour) and 'She's Got Claws', 'Cry The Clock Said' and a 'Metal'/'Moral' hybrid (Wembley). I guess having gone high profile with his retirement pronouncements of the previous year, which an ever hostile music press interpreted to be a case of 'Take the money and run', to tour the UK in 1982 would have seen Numan shredded by his detractors.
