Erasure: Live at the Royal Albert Hall

Erasure: Live at the Royal Albert Hall

Erasure (like the LLGFF) have been around for 22 years. This Royal Albert Hall debut is a celebration of the fabulous Vince Clarke and Andy Bell.

Some performers can't quite fill the Albert Hall, but with Andy's extraordinarily powerful and versatile voice added to Vince's magnificent music the place just seems to bubble over with exuberant musical excitement. Andy throws himself into his performance with a relentless energy that is utterly infectious. They introduce some new songs from their new album and romp through dozens of hits from the Erasure back catalogue.

This is sheer entertainment, a brilliantly filmed record of a concert which has such a buoyant sense of intimacy and excitement that it's impossible not to be carried along.
