They were one of my tip top favorite bands in my life.I keep hoping Bill will do a nostalgia tour.
Of all the bands I've seen live, Be Bop was the one who rocked the most live compared to LP.
I'd love to go to this:

Drastic Plastic was one of my five all time top played albums of all time.

Saw Be Bop Deluxe inside late, lamented Winterland for their "Live In the Air Age" tour in September of '77! In a Oui magazine article, Bill Nelson mentioned how he'd had a dreadful experience with that hallowed hall's p.a. monitors, which had him leaving the stage in tears! He also said he was lookin' for a white Strat to augment his axe collection! There were some technical difficulties during his "Air Age" opener, & he admonished the house techs with "we'll have no more of that nonsense"! Delightful sonics followed! Faintly remember Bill playing a sunburst Les Paul through-out the set, which ended with a blistering encore version of "No Trains To Heaven", where he approached John McLaughlin-esque acceleration! Oh yeah, a white Strat stood @ attention near his Carlsboro amp! Most of the crowd though, it should be noted, had come to see middle act Tom Petty & His Heartbreakers, who spent 45 minutes playing their entire inaugural album!!!
