Yazoo Reunited & In Texas
Yazoo released “Upstairs At Eric’s” in July 1982 and with a partnership lasting only 16 months –Yazoo’s Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet split and went their own ways soon after the release of their second album “You And Me Both.”
Vince and Alison have since gone on to have their own successful careers. Vince formed Erasure with, and Alison as a solo performer. They both released Top 30 crit
ically acclaimed hit albums in 2007 - Erasure with “Light at the End of the World” and Alison Moyet with “The Turn.”
Now Vince and Alison will be performing in Dallas on July 22 which is a great opportunity for those of y’all who know Vince and Alison’s work.
One of Vince Clarke’s first remarks to getting back together with Alison was:
“”It’s been really good going back to these songs after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I’m looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who’ve enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo in concert.””
So far I haven’t come across a single bad review from anybody anywhere. Here’s a news paper’s review of a Yazoo show:
“This is not a nostalgia tour. It is two musicians with unfinished business, reminding themselves (and the world) of the connection they made.
“It is as much about Clarke and Moyet as it is the music: when, for no reason, they embraced for a moment before a blistering, spellbinding Too Pieces, the crowd cheered, delighted. And throughout the set they shared our glee: Moyet skipping and grinning, Clarke trying, with less and less success, not to let the skull-mask slip into a smile.”
