OMD are about 70% miming on stage anyways.
At least The Maths do actually play real things with their fingers.

At the last OMD gig even some of the vocals and Andy's bass guitar were clearly coming off a backing track (Andy rather gave the game away with some "look, no hands" bass playing wink )

Talk about rip off Britain, got charged £5.50 just to post my ticket.


A consumer advice: use Roundhouse website to purchase the tickets, not expensive Ticketmaster.

OMD miming to backing tapes? That's an outrageous accusation!

Ticket bought for the Liverpool gig.Can't wait. I've seen John many times but always good to see him again. I've only seen OMD once before in '91 during the Sugar Tax tour. By then only Andy and various session men were involved. Do it will be good to see the classic line up in action.

Oh dear! pwned, as we say!

Mind you - at the Roudhouse gig, I remember John being hilariously out of sync with the backing track during Underpass (causing much consternation betwixt Benge and the girls), which was mysteriously miraculously fixed on the live DVD! all the lolz!

OMD have never been afraid of admitting to using backing tapes!
