ERASURE IN CONCERT:

Nearly three decades after their debut, British synthpop duo Erasure continue to reign supreme on dance floors around the world. Combining the production skills of Vince Clark and the soaring vocals of Andy Bell, Erasure dominated European airwaves in the '80s and '90s with a massive string of hits that sound as fresh today as they did 25 years ago. Bell is a legendary live performer, maintaining an infectious energy and positivity as he lends his perfectly-preserved pipes to the love-drunk swoon of "Oh L'amour" and the uplifting message of "Chains of Love". The duo's unforgettable live shows never fail to spark impassioned dance parties among nostalgic fans, and their upcoming dates on the Violet Flame 2014 World Tour will be no different.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Erasure was formed in mid-'80s London by former Depeche Mode member Vince Clark and budding singer Andy Bell. Their 1985 debut album Wonderland failed to make much of an impact in Britain, but they hit the big time with their 1987 sophomore album The Circus, which remained on the UK Albums Chart for more than a year on the strength of hit singles "Sometimes" and "Victim of Love". The following year they achieved breakthrough success in America with the Top 20 hits "Chains of Love" and "A Little Respect", both from their third album The Innocents. That album was the first of five consecutive UK No. 1 records for the duo, a streak that culminated with 1994's I Say I Say I Say. With their 16th studio album The Violet Flame hitting shelves in 2014, Erasure will treat fans to a series of electrifying shows in support of the release.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Andy Bell is one hell of a performer and had a lot of energy to bring their songs to life...I remember looking around and seeing my fellow concertgoers smiling from ear-to-ear and having an amazing sing-along experience. Definitely money well spent."

"Andy and Vince were awesome. The new songs are great and it was a blast hearing the old songs once again."

"Simply amazing! Erasure kept the crowd happy and dancing throughout the whole show."

    by daveydude on 8/24/18The Wiltern - Los AngelesRating: 4 out of 5

    i've seen Erasure at the Forum,, Wiltern years ago,, las vegas, universal amphitheater & more... just seen them again at the Wiltern this week... they still crank out their best plus a couple of songs from the new CD one of which is fantastic.... their sound system has always improved over the years,, except for this one.. i love loud clear music,, their sound this time was TOOOO loud which muffled their GREAT songs... ill close with another GREAT sing along for most of the crowd.... BUT work on the sound system...

  • Andy & Vince have still got it!

    by SusieMmm on 8/24/18The Wiltern - Los AngelesRating: 4 out of 5

    The Wiltern is a beautiful, historic venue but the sound was a little rough to start. Finally the tech got it figured out and we could enjoy the show and understand what was being said. Given that, it was still an excellent show! They played the old songs we all know by heart as well as some newer material that was just as enjoyable. The back up singers were fantastic and the show was super fun, energetic and memorable. Wonderful night!

  • Wonderful performance - but short!

    by LadeeeM on 8/23/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 4 out of 5

    It was awesome hearing Erasure live. So much energy and power behind that voice. I would love to see them again. My only complaint is that it was probably the shortest main act I've heard at a concert, and I've been to quite a few. The main performance was perhaps an hour and fifteen minutes with a one song encore. I was expecting a longer overall performance -- at least 1.5 hr. Two hours would have been ideal -- they have so much great material it was a shame we couldn't hear more.

  • I love to hate you

    Amazing show as usual! Love to see them ! Not sure opening act was ,they where good too !

  • Best live show ever!

    by Beefpiston on 8/22/18Moore Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    The Moore theater is living history! Oldest theater still in operation in Seattle. It’s a small, intimate venue. Erasure is even better now than before! Andy’s vocals are amazing and Vince’s synths are awesome! Great light show and the backing vocals from Val and Emma were amazing!

  • Erasure was amazing!

    by ErasureFan2018 on 8/22/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    I have seen Erasure in concert 6 times and this was their best concert ever! Andy Bell has an awesome voice and Vince Clarke always amazes me with his sound.

  • Erasure at The Masonic

    by MandaPandaTini on 8/22/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    Erasure is one of the best! The venue was gorgeous! The staff at the venue were fantastic! Two nights in a row of Erasure and totally worth it! Fabulous time!

  • ERASURE - THE BEST

    by Wriggly1 on 8/21/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    Erasures concert was so amazing - absolutely amazing. The set - the lights - Andy & Vince were incredible - will be going to see them next time they are around. Can not say enough good things about the show - loved every minute - just wish it ran longer.

  • erasure - short but sweet

    by TCVatTheFox on 8/21/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 4 out of 5

    After this show I heard someone say "there were ten songs that everyone wanted to hear but they had to fill it out to 18" - I beg to differ! I have heard that the Rolling Stones always tried to make "an album of singles" but erasure has done so repeatedly (in this show they played the first four, great, tracks from The Innocents, if not in order!) I guess I'll have to wait until next time to hear favorites like Chorus, Star, I Love Saturday, Rain, or some of the nice 2000s songs like Here I Go Impossible Again (Nightbird is a gem of an album - and last year's World Be Gone somehow hit #6 on the UK album chart and I do think it deserved the songs that they played from it like Love You To The Sky.) Sound-wise, I liked the new arrangements of nearly every classic song (though the generally clear sound mix occasionally got slightly unbalanced and distorted.) It's hard to tell, but there may have been more new synthesis and less sampling of classic tracks and instruments. My minor criticism is that Vince Clarke (and the sound mix engineers for the show) seem to have been somewhat overly influenced by EDM percussion and turned everything into a beat-heavy "club mix," though thankfully more disco than dubstep. Probably great for a club, but in a concert not everything has to be anchored by a heavy 4 on the floor. The Masonic also has seats rather than a dance floor. On the other hand, it's amazing to see the godfathers of modern synth pop/dance, and it's surprising how the occasional supersaw actually works fine in an erasure song. I like how they are willing to experiment a bit. It was nice also to hear live harmonies from the two excellent backup singers, who also managed to dance with both of erasure's principals! And Andy Bell hit his high notes and added some beautiful vocal moments. I couldn't really tell if Vince was doing much besides pressing play (and a delightfully refined Vince Clarke dance break at more than one point) but he did seem to have more instruments on stage rather than just a laptop - could have been a hardware synth or two and maybe a tempest or other drum machine - and may even have been playing some of them at some point. He also played acoustic guitar along with several songs though it usually couldn't be heard (with a possible exception being A Little Respect, where the acoustic guitar is a key part.) In any case, Andy Bell and Vince Clarke don't seem too full of themselves like so many modern EDM musicians and DJs often are, and they seemed like they were happy to be there!! The audience definitely was as well. More erasure, please.

  • Fun concert

    by Egpinsanfran on 8/21/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 4 out of 5

    A very energetic and entertaining performance with a mix of Erasure's old hits and new songs. We enjoyed it.

  • Erasure was great in concert

    by Anonymous on 8/21/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    After all these years, they sound exactly the same as 30 years ago. Truly entertaining.

  • Erasure Are Always Pure Class

    by Rllrcster on 8/21/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    Hit after hit after hit. Andy’s voice and Vince’s fresh arrangements and the sisters Chalmers. You can never go wrong if Erasure is your one night out.

  • AMAZING

    by XXX2017 on 8/21/18The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    Erasure was awesome. Went two nights at the Masonic and both shows were spectacular! 100% worth every penny. If you have the chance GO, you will not be disappointed. Just wish they played longer.

  • Awesome!!!!

    amazing !!!! I enjoyed from the beginning until the end .

  • Fun night

    by Maridith on 8/18/18Moore Theatre - SeattleRating: 4 out of 5

    Me, my hubby and friends had much fun during the concert. We danced all night long. The crowd was full of energy, and there was no dull moment. The songs made me relive my childhood memories.

  • by APebbles on 8/18/18Orpheum Theatre - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    Still amazing after all of these years . . . . . .

  • Erasure never disappoints!

    by DesignerVal on 8/17/18Moore Theatre - SeattleRating: 4 out of 5

    Every time I've seen Erasure, they come up with a unique show presentation that is sure to amaze! They are still full of energy, as they have been since I first saw them in the 80s. I highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance! They usually sell out their shows, so get in early access!

  • Erasure was amazing

    by Anonymous on 8/17/18Moore Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    They put on a really high spirited, energetic show. Everyone was on there feet. Good mix of young and old, gay and straight. Andy Bell’s voice is still amazing!

  • Erasure was awesome just like from 8th grade

    by TheOtherHailey on 8/17/18Moore Theatre - SeattleRating: 1 out of 5

    Erasure was my 1st concert, and I am amazed at how well Andy and Vince are able to perform. The set was short, but the venue (Moore Theater) was dangerously hot. There were many people who left due to the heat, and Erasure's set list was a little over an hour.

  • Erasure was great. Venue was brutal

    by TwinsWest123 on 8/17/18Moore Theatre - SeattleRating: 2 out of 5

    Erasure was awesome. Been waiting years to see them and they were even better than hoped. The more theater was awful however. It was at least 105° in the second balcony, maybe even warmer. So bad that the steps down to the main level at the end of the concert were slippery from how much the collective crowd was sweating. In addition the acoustics made it very difficult to understand Andy speaking between songs. Was fun to see them though. Just wish it would have been somewhere else
