Not only did I get to see the Goth King himself for the third time, it was Peter\u2019s birthday! He was quite self-deprecating over being 51 now but he\u2019s in great company with so many other performers carrying on in their Fifties while putting on awesome shows. Heck two of his major influences (Bowie and Iggy) are in their Sixties and continue to rock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He doesn\u2019t have anything new out yet. I guess Peter is on tour to help promote the new Bauhaus album which is pretty good. He even performed \u201cAdrenalin\u201d from it. The crowd was more excited over him sneaking in parts of \u201cBela Lugosi\u2019s Dead\u201d on a song I didn\u2019t recognize. Most material he did wasn\u2019t easily recognized by me, I will have to ask Scott, the bigger fan amongst the three of us and I did spot a co-worker who knew more than me. Don\u2019t take the previous comment as a negative statement. Peter is a great performer I try to see ever since he impressed me in 1988, namely by surprising the crowd with his cover of \u201cPurple Rain\u201d for an encore. The dude has presence too. He\u2019s well under six feet tall yet when he\u2019s on stage, he looks like he\u2019s in the NBA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7339\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maggipicayune.net\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/petermurphy2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7339\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7339\" title=\"petermurphy2\" src=\"https:\/\/maggipicayune.net\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/petermurphy2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/petermurphy2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/petermurphy2-300x246.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter playing a mystery instrument during the bridge of \u201cShe\u2019s in Parties\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personally, the big highlight was getting to see Peter sing \u201cShe\u2019s in Parties\u201d which was the first song I liked by Bauhaus; living out in the Sticks (physically and culturally) during my last two years of high school made me a late bloomer. For this encore, he let one of the roadies sing the first verse of his hit \u201cCuts You Up\u201d because it was the guy\u2019s birthday too! How nice of him! I&#8217;m relieved he didn\u2019t know Mark took me to this for my upcoming birthday. I would\u2019ve choked. It\u2019s been a while since I knew all the lyrics to \u201cIndigo Eyes\u201d or \u201cTime Has Nothing To Do With It.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Wave Gods smiled on my friends and me last night!
