It is an interesting dilemma that most artists have; please the casual fan with best known songs or play deep tracks to the hard core fan.
It's doubly tough for Sparks due to the different genres.
I have no problem with a heavy dose of a new album by any artist. I think most bands have a formula that they stick with.
I last saw Sparks in 2022 and 7 songs are the same on this tour. I would say that's similar to the Alice Cooper show I just saw.
Todd Rundgren will either delight or piss off fans with his tours. The shows can be loaded with oldies or contain nothing from the '70's. It's buyer beware!
I once read that Radiohead does not play Creep live and I also read that for a period of time in the '70's Procol Harum wasn't playing Whiter Shade Of Pale.

I wonder though if Radiohead stopped playing Creep (one of my favourite Radiohead songs) because of the plagiarism issue.....
I think Sparks have finally reached that happy place ,which they fully deserve because they have slogged for years to attain it,whereby they can play want they want.......and we should be grateful!! 😀 |
