Psychedelic Furs with The Lemonheads: 10/24/2012

This was pretty much a fun nostalgia show for me. The Psychedelic Furs were definitely a big part of the 1980’s pop culture. Songs like “Pretty in Pink” and “Love My Way” instantly transport me back to those carefree days. Thankfully, the band was not just a bunch of lame dudes milking their prior success. They really sounded good, projected a vibrant energy, and had the audience dancing. It was just a really fun time and no disappointments at all.

The Lemonheads were a solid opening act. They were high energy and got the crowd riled. Personally, my favorite song of theirs is their cover version of “Mrs. Robinson,” which they didn’t play. But that’s OK. I was really there to see the Furs; the Lemonheads were just a bonus.

I could not find the setlist from the Orange Peel show, but this one was from St. Petersburg, FL a couple days afterwards. I think the shows were pretty similar, if not the same.

  • Only You and I
  • Love My Way
  • Mr. Jones
  • Heartbreak Beat
  • The Ghost in You
  • No Easy Street
  • She Is Mine
  • Little Miss World
  • All of This and Nothing
  • Believe
  • Danger
  • Pretty in Pink
  • Highwire Days
  • Heaven

Encore:

  • President Gas
  • India

  1. Great post, Jeff! My husband and I saw them about 25 years ago in Philly and they put on a great show. It was a small venue and that made it even better. Thanks for the memories!

    • Nice! I’m sure they were great back in the day. They were certainly great when I saw them. A lot of those bands did not age well, but the Furs did. Thanks for sharing your memory, Barb. Hope you and your family have a wonderful long weekend. 🙂
