PETER MURPHY IN CONCERT:
Post-punk legend and godfather of goth Peter Murphy has been an emblem of dark romance ever since his debut with Bauhaus in 1978. As frontman of the legendary group Murphy made a name for himself with his spooky baritone voice and macabre theatrics, and he remains a spellbinding performer more than three decades later. Whether he's mesmerizing with Bauhaus classics like "God in an Alcove" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead" or treating fans to favorites from his solo career, Murphy never fails to bring chills on his unforgettable tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Peter Murphy got his start as a singer with Northampton, UK-based post-punk outfit Bauhaus, which he was asked to join in 1978 because the band liked his look. The group made their debut in 1979 with the single "Bela Lugosi's Dead", a nine-minute slice of dirge rock that stayed on the British independent charts for two years and served as the launching point for the goth rock movement. After a successful run that landed them four LPs on the UK Albums Chart, Bauhaus called it quits in 1983, allowing Murphy to pursue a variety of other projects. His biggest post-Bauhaus success came as a solo artist with '90s hits like "Cuts You Up" and "A Strange Kind of Love". In 20142 Murphy released his ninth studio album Lion to rave reviews, and he continues to treat fans to career-spanning sets on his legendary tours.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Murphy has not lost it one bit, his voice and stage presence is amazing as always and the decades of fans there enjoyed every minute."
"Another great show! Peter only gets better with age, played one of my favorite song from his solo career "A Strange Kind of Love".
"This was a great night for Bauhaus fans! So much music. He played for a very long time and looked and sounded great. I saw the last Bauhaus reunion show. . .this was just as good!"
Headliner wasn’t even expected to go on stage till 10:30 pm which is way too late on a Monday night— c’mon, Peter, your fans are old just like you are! And he took the stage about 20 minutes late on top of that. For fans that have long drives (like those of us from DC who will head up to Baltimore for shows), a 9pm opener and 10:30 headliner is a huge hassle.
I love Soundstage Baltimore , the experience is wonderful being right in downtown Baltimore and a five minute drive from my house. No matter where you stand it's easy to hear and see. Peter Murphy was fantastic playing some of my Bauhaus favorites. I love the phone access to my tickets as well, a bit confusing because I am older , but very simple , convenient, and easy as long as you follow directions. I would love to be posted about any 80's groups or acts coming to a Ticketmaster's venues. As far as my concert-going experience goes , quality over the quantity of shows I attend.
Peter and David J (and friends) are as engaging and interesting as they've ever been. The old Bauhaus standards sounded every bit as good as expected, and a smaller venue made the experience much more personal and enjoyable; not to mention the obvious sound advantages. You won't hear any new material, but the old stuff is more than enough to satisfy Bauhaus/L&R fans. Great stuff, guys - keep it going!
I brought my 13 year old daughter it wasn’t crazy the crowd was older. He put in a great show.
Unless you stood at the mixing board the sound was very poor could not hear the vocals or music just a wall of noise.
Bauhaus was excellent. Loved the show... sound was perfect. I didn't like the venue and there was way too much time between acts.
Fun show. He still rocks it after all these years. Good size venue - easy to get up close if you wanted to. Was hoping he'd play Third Uncle and he didn't, but other good ones in the rotation were heard.
Bauhaus was wonderful and everything I wanted them to be but the venue oversold this one. It was way too crowded and that made it miserable. We left a little early because we could not stand it any longer. So crowded there were a bunch of us crammed into the exit area by the bathroom. Horrible.
I will see his show again if he is in town (Atlanta)
There is no seating at the Masquerade, so us old timers who listened to Bauhaus in our teens and twenties really had a hard time standing for 3 hours waiting for Peter and David to start. However the first few acts were quite enjoyable. We stayed for the first few songs but our legs gave out. Next time we will choose a venue with seating or come later so it is not such an endurance test. Peter was true to form. Hoping to see him again.
