Postpunkeren Gary Numan imponerede i Amager Bio

På en ganske almindelig søndag aften på Amager, gav Gary Numan og hans dygtigt sammentømrede besætning, en stærk performance, med tryk på det industrielle lydbillede i et postapokalyptisk scenesprog.

Den legendariske postpunker der fik succes da han sprang fra punk til synth I slutningen af 70erne, viste en smittende musikalsk og personlig energi, som han på sædvanlig vis mere demonstrerede for, end egentlig kommunikerede med publikum. Gary Numan lukker sig om sig selv på den smukkeste måde, selv når han ser ud på sit begejstrede publikum.

Mere en kunstnerisk performances end blot en koncert, hvor Numan og hans 4 faste musikere iført kostumer som taget ud af en Mad Max film, bevægede sig i hver deres cirkler, med Numans energiske soloridt i centrum.

Steve Harris på guitar og Tim Slade på bas, udførte deres eget fængende sceneshow med særegne håndtegn og grimasser med forstilt tomme øjne, imens Dave Brooks i baggrunden, så stilfærdigt at ansigtsmaling og kostume næsten virkede påtaget, bandt de musikalske tråde hen over snart 5 årtier sammen, støttet af stabile Richard Beasley på trommer.

Formen skabte en delvis distance til publikum, som formentlig er intentionel og en del af udtrykket.

Kølige synthpop klassikere som ‘Cars’ og især ‘Are Friends Electric’ har fået nyt liv, energi og fylde i dygtigt opdaterede versioner der passer ind i det industrielle lydbillede, sammen med nyklassikere som ‘My name is ruin’

Generelt var koncerten en imponerende helstøbt oplevelse, taget i betragtning hvor mange udtryk over tid Gary Numann samler og repræsenterer.
21 soloalbums efter debuten sammen med Tubeway Army, musikalske op og nedture og stilskift.

I midten samledes det hele af Gary Numans vedvarende energi.
