Q
& A with Peter Murphy

|
|
Fondest
memory of the tour:

|
|
Sitting
with Daniel, like a long lost pair of bosom pals,
both under the hair dryer after having
astronomically expensive hair sculptures done on us
by the now famous 'Spider Boy' hair sculpture
extraordinaire Ian.
Location: Beverly Hills hair salon, each with a
Glam mag in hand discussing such burning issues
such as the correct tone of reds to use, the right
degree of straightener, and which latest hair/make
up products (amid the thousands) were worth a
glance........
Turning to glance at David's face -grinning like a
Cheshire cat amid disco dance bliss-twist, together
with Daniel backstage at one of the US after shows,
who was entertaining three personal guests who
resembled the cast of the Addams family (no
joke)-uncle fester et all.
The
unearthly customary passion (high decibeled) of the
Mexican audience
The unearthly customary silence of the 5000
capacity crowds in Japan
Daniel bear hugging me saying (referring to our
audience) "they'll love it when they see us do
this"
Again
Daniel, to me, "Do it for them" encouraging me to
pick up my
performance on a particularly (for me) exhaustive
show where I was completely shattered
physically.
My
epic and on going Bauhaus dreams that lasted
throughout the tour and ended with
it.

|
|
What
show or city sticks in your mind as the best:

|
|
It
sounds incredible but all of them . Although
incredibly ,performance wise, it just got better
and better. Then again the second show in London
sticks out, really because we had everything to
prove to the self aggrandising negative Brit.
Press, and we proved it. As well as the show having
been previewed by one of my Bauhaus dreams the
night before, and magically coming
true.

|
|
What
was the funniest moment of the tour?

|
|
With
all respect, during the end of Severance facing
Kevin I hear a terrible 'low end' what seems to be
feedback noise and shout to Kevin asking what the
terrible noise was, who reluctant to say , simply
gestured to the front of the stage, whereupon
turning, I see David in a rapturous moment bent
over the bass that he has laid on the floor,
crouching over it like some raving Theodoric of
old, massaging the strings with his hands- creating
what can best be described as grinding sound
effects from the bass.
(he's
in a world of his own that boy)

|
|
What
most impressed you about the tour?

|
|
The
professionalism of everyone from management to
crew, my hair cut, the true critical reading of the
event in the press, Daniel's hair cut, a unique to
Bauhaus -passionate audience, our stamina, the
clear message that we haven't even reached our
peak.

If
you could be a woman who would you be?

|
|
I
give up!
