I saw Everything But the Girl at the Royal Albert Hall in 1986. I was sitting on the very top level, having bought the cheapest available ticket on the day of the show. They has a large string section with them, to recreate the sounds of their then-current album, BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT. (Which is now apparently also the name of a Japanese clothing brand.) And then at the end it was just the two of them on stage, with Ben on acoustic guitar playing the album's great cheatin' song, "Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your Shining Heart." And Tracey's sublime voice, One of those moments where the whole audience quiets down and just listens.
Very nice. Very evil.
Exactly.
They've been disbanded for HOW LONG?? Unbelievable. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be on the lookout for that album!
I know! The years flew by somehow.
