Gary Anthony Games Webb, better known as Gary Numan, is an English new Wave/ post-punk singer and songwriter from Hammersmith, West London.
Born on 8 March 1958, Numan worked a plethora of odd jobs as a teenager while playing guitar in various bands. He started to rise to prominence as front man of the band, Tubeway Army. Together they were signed by Beggars Banquet Records in 1978, and released a self-titled album the following year. The following year Numan recorded and released a solo album entitled “The Pleasure Principle” which reached Number one in the UK followed by a sold out tour. In 1980 Numan topped the UK charts with his “Telekom” album followed by another major tour; however he announced to retire from touring.
The retirement didn’t last long. After experimenting with jazz, funk and rhythmic pop, he released “Dance” topping at Number 3 on the charts in the UK. Unfortunately the following album “I, Assasin” in 1982 didn’t fare as well as “Dance” which only peaked at number eight. Numan then issued a series of albums through his own label, Numa, starting with “Berserker” in 1984. He then ventured into film scoring in 1991 by working with Michael R. Smith for the film “The Unborn.”
In 2002 Numan found charting success with the release of the single “Rip.” He continued to tour and write new music, and in 2008 he announced the upcoming release of his album “Splinter;” however the album wasn’t released in 2013.
Read moreMost American fans are only familiar with, "Cars" and "Down in the Park" from Gary Numan. I have been a fan of the width, depth and breadth of his work since I was a kid. This was my first time ever to see him, and I must say it was the best show ever.
He and his band are incredible performers and with Numan, you get far more than music - he is quite the visual performance artist. Throughout his career, his albums are punctuated by an ethos which comes replete with elaborate costumes he wears to evoke the feeling of the music. He doesn't just sing - he's a total embodiment of the music they're performing.
He played music from his new album, "Savage" which is a marvelous departure from the minimalist electronica he pioneered. Peppered in between songs from "Savage" were favorites such as Berzerker, Metal, Cars, Down in the Park, and finishing a stellar encore of I Die - You Die and Are Friends Electric.
It was incredible to see a sold out audience of middle aged people and tons of 18-24 year olds in utter awe. A fantastic night. He raises the bar on what I call a great performance. Do whatever it takes to see, hear and feel the Gary Numan experience. Like none other. If it weren't for SongKick, I wouldn't have known he was coming to Houston.
Some friends and I decided to go see Gary Numan at a small local venue. I remember as a kid, back in the 80’s hearing and seeing the video for "Cars". I thought it would be fun to see how his music evolved over the years.
There were only about 100 people at the small venue, mostly consisting of people in their late 20’s through people in their late 40’s. It seems as though he still has quite a cult following!
I was actually surprised at how much I liked his current music. Reminds me of Nine Inch Nails, due to his use of heavy synthesizers and haunting vocals. He did play a few classics, such as "Cars", "We Are Glass", "I Die: You Die", but what got the crowd really going is his new stuff from his current album, Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind).
His music is captivating, raw and hard. Lots of heavy guitar. He still looks great, and played the set with tons of energy. I’m glad that I went!
I am a renewed fan and part of his cult following. If you get a chance to see Gary Numan live, I definitely recommend it.
I am fortunate in that in recent years Numan has played several shows in smaller intimate theatres here in Los Angeles, even while not on tour. Each has been a bit different in both stage and lighting and with the support musicians. I appreciate that at almost 61 Numan keeps innovating. One professional trait that Numan has carried throughout his 40+ years in the business is that he gives 100% all of the time. He is a perfectionist. In the early part of his career he did so at a great financial cost (his staging and lighting shows were over the top financially) but he was adamant his fans would not be disappointed. These days his production costs are more in line, thus he can perform in the smaller theatres. These intimate settings really help one to appreciate that he (and his band) are giving it their all. Try a show, you won't regret it. Using YouTube, familiarize yourself beforehand with a few more songs than "Cars" and I promise you you will enjoy a great show. Numan, still a showman!
I'd always wanted to see Gary Numan live, but never had the opportunity until now.
He didn't disappoint. The concert was just amazing from start to end - great energy, great songs - and they all seemed to be having a lot of fun on stage too, which was nice to see. The band was super-tight, and the guitarists Tim Muddiman and Steve Harris were incredible.
Included were several classics from early Numan - Metal, Down in the Park, Films, and of course, Cars, with Are Friends Electric as an encore.
His 11 year-old daughter, Persia, sang for "My Name is Ruin"- - amazing voice, and you could see the pride in her father's face.
First time at the Teragram Ballroom too - this is a great venue, small and intimate, two full bars and the food was pretty good too.
We go to a lot of concerts. This show was the BEST I've seen in a very long time. I enjoyed it so much, that I bought a ticket for the 2nd show in LA.
If you get a chance to go and see Gary Numan, GO!, you will NOT be disappointed!
Didn't attend. With no audience cover, 100% chance of rain in 40 degree temperatures and a 5 hour drive 1-way with not enough notice to cancel anything, we were forced to just eat the cost of tickets and a hotel in order to spare ourselves a bigger misery of how bad it was likely to get.
I swear, these concert apps should include a feature to filter out shows in the basis of venue qualifications such as open air, standing only, etc. While it is our responsibility to research all the problems in advance, I'd rather not even be so much as alerted to an act that I'd otherwise love to see that is in a venue too cheap to provide a roof or a seat.
We gamled and lost big. We'll just have to be that much more careful to put venue analysis first and just say bye to acts coming within range of our seeing them if they are in venues that are frankly minimalist booze warehouses with just enough stage to hook an audience.
Finally seeing Gary Numan for the second time in just over 30 years! This night at Los Angeles Theater of course included much of his new songs of the last decade, some of which are not my cup of tea. However his performance of every song was so enthusiastic and powerful that the entire show was a thrill. Carefully juxtapositioning earlier hits "Down In The Park", and "Cars" with later material such as "My Name Is Ruin" was a creative blend lead by top musicians, and Gary's unique and powerful vocal. One can see how he's matured into an artist that knows just how to present the musical universe that he's developed over 40 years. As much as I loved seeing him on the Telekon tour with his cool sci-fi presentation of the 80s. This night was a thrilling combination of all he has achieved since his debut, and sounded out of this world. As an older fan I am still impressed, and enjoyed the concert immensely.
Celebrating 40 years of making his unique music, he told the audience this was his 15th appearance at the venue! This appearance was something special not just celebrating his history but seeing him with a new energy that made this one of the best gigs he’s done! The sound was fantastic and so was the light show. The set list was well thought out and would Not disappoint people who became fans at any point in his career. He played tracks I had not heard live before, he played a new track from his upcoming album and he played Joe the Waiter on acoustic guitar, never thought I’d hear that.... the audience loved him and the place was packed and not just with old fans, it was great to see younger fans there. If you get chance to see him on this tour I can thoroughly recommend it, you wont be disappointed and you’ll be in for a treat.
Ich bin zufällig auf Gary Numan aufmerksam geworden, weil ich mir eigentlich nur Livemusik Un der Royal Albert Hall angucken wollte. Da das leider nicht geklappt hat, hab ich mir eine Karte für Berlin besorgt und gelesen, dass er quasi schon so lange Musik macht, wie ich alt bin.
Das Konzert war mit eins der besten, die ich dieses Jahr erlebt hab. Sehr angenehm war es, nicht von wildtanzenden Fans angerempelt worden zu sein und dass die Klimaanlage im Huxleys funktioniert hat.
Schon beim ersten Song, hab ich gespürt, dass der Mann das liebt was er tut. Und er hat den Applaus und den Jubel genossen, sich mit langen Blicken ins Publikum bedankt. Es war nicht so ein Runterleiern, sondern fühlte sich wirklich an, wie eine Feier.
Manchmal empfand ich die Gitarren als zu laut, aber vielleicht war das weiter hinten im Saal besser.
An awesome show. It was noticeable that a lot of the audience weren't too familiar with the new album (odd, since this was supporting the album's release but that didn't detract from how great Gary's performance), as well as his band.
Gary still commands the audience without saying a single word all night and puts in an energetic performance that would shame singers a lot younger than he. Not bad for a nIgh on 60 year old!
A great balance of old and new material (although having listened to Savage every day for the last two weeks, I wanted to hear more of the new stuff), with a classic encore finishing with 'Are "Friends" Electric?
Took my 17 year old son Luke with me and he thought it was great too. And he wasn't the only 'young' person there, proving that quality doesn't have an age barrier.
Roll on the next gig!
I saw Gary Numan on 9/22/18 at Irving Plaza NYC. The word I’d describe the show would be “phenomenal”! He and his band sounded fantastic, with tons of energy, nearly everyone was dancing about. I didn’t know too many Gary Numan songs after “Cars” and didn’t care to explore over the last few decades until Youtube put up a bunch of recommendations. I’m so glad I heeded their suggestions. I’ve gone to a few dozen concerts in the last few years, and this one outdid them all.
What is amazing to me is that Gary Numan’s other music was not played (much, or at all) even on “alternative” stations like WLIR, and that he’s not selling out stadiums. The performance is so fantastic, I think now that he should have a much larger following (here in the US) than he does.
Absolutely outstanding!!! Easily the best gig I have seen in a while. He's had to scale back over the years but the sound and visuals he can generate are superb. With so much new material on offer there are loads of absolute thumpers on offer. Well over an hour on stage GN himself was an absolute tour de force. His voice was superb and he delivered an emotionally charged performance. A lot of Savage was played which was spellbinding and of course Cars and Are Friends were inserted but not in a way so to build up to them which would have been easy and frankly a bit lazy. But this seems to sum GN up, not taking the easy route and continually pushing things. Total and utter respect but the best bit was simply the music. 10/10
Such an incredible concert, high energy from start to finish.
Undoubtedly one of the best concerts I've seen in many, many years (excluding the last time I saw Gary Numan).
His well known songs (Cars, Our Friends Electric, Metal) all have a new rockier edge to them - still recognizable, but with a huge amount of energy to them.
His new music is great too, and his daughter, Persia, on stage for My Name is Ruin really makes the concert that much more special. And, Gary really shows what a proud Dad he is.
Go see him when he's next on tour, you wont regret it.
I was at the Gary Numan concert in Helsinki,Finland.The concert was a disappointment because it was too loud.I had expected a concert with the same soft sound like the early Gary Numan concerts that I have seen on Youtube.I am one of those people who only like the early Gary Numan songs.I am very sorry but this concert was not good.For me the concert was complete shite.Maybe I am too old for concerts.Except for The Human League concerts.They are probably better for someone like me.I was born in 1980.
Wow, what a show!
Probably the best concert we've been to in a looong time.
Yes, he played his classics from way back too (Are Friends Electric, Cars) but the whole concert was simply mind blowing.
His daughter (just 11) sang incredibly well for the song that she came on stage for - a very proud moment for Mr. Numan.
And the Teragram Ballroom is a great venue - small, intimate, two full bars and food at sensible prices.
Can't wait to see Gary Numan again!
Gary numan was amazing and the new material sounded even better live than on the album.Its hard to explain how captivating the whole performance was. I'm normally more into Metal bands who run around more and the vocalist cracking jokes even. This was the complete opposite but I still loved it. It was one of my favourite gigs of all time.
The Tramshed was a great venue too,great sound and the security staff were polite and professional.
Numan continues to be one of the most energetic and charismatic live acts I have seen. He comes on strong and never lets up. His shows are always bolstered by his excellent band. He is one of those artists that excels live. His music on stage has such a different vibe than when you listen on recording. Raw, upbeat fun. Even if you don’t know his music, this is an excellent live act. Go!
First time I've seen him wasn't disappointed,I have to say always wanted to see him ,excellent performance he only did 3 or 4 old hits but have to say his newer heavier stuff was better than the old , and omg how loud would deffenitly recommend , the only thing I would say if your going to see him just to here his old greatest hits you may be disappointed, great show
The audience was in a great mood.
The sound was massive, very loud but well mixed.
Gary has a forcefully stage presence and the light show was very precise and very creative with just a “few“ lights. Imagine the stage is filed with white fog, just Gary is shining completely red. Brilliant!
He performed the Savage album perfectly but some older songs as well.
Gary Numan did not disappoint! Playing most of his best songs from decades of work,but also remaining relevant with hard driving and danceable industrial electronica from his last two albums --- the most recent of a response to the evils of global warming that draws heavily on the dystopian theme that has run throughout his career. GREAT f'in light show too.
He was fantastic as always. Great light show, great sound and great performance. Ade Fenton also rocked! My only complaint is about the venue. It is a great venue, but I need to be at the front moshing around with a group of like minded fans, not seated and stopped going from to the front.
Numan is always great live and this was no different.
