I'd never seen Bauhaus live before, and quite frankly they were the primary reason I wanted to go. I enjoyed their set, but a couple of things were a bit...off, for me. First off, the venue was outdoors, and The Woodlands puts an 11:00 curfew on all shows, so Bauhaus had to go on when it was still daylight. Now, this isn't their fault, but it just seemed wrong to see them perform when the sun was still up. It has shattered my illusions that they are all undead, and that Peter Murphy is the REAL Vampire Lestat. Second, they skipped playing "Bela Legosi's Dead". Sure, this song is the big gorilla of their catalogue, and ordinarily I like it when artists skip over their more well known tracks in favour of obscurities, but somehow it felt wrong to me here. I dunno, to me, that song has always seemed like the catalyst for the goth movement. To skip over such an important track, especially when playing in front of lots of little goth kids who have no idea how much Bauhaus is responsible for their little subculture, well, it bugged me. At least they played "Dark Entries". Overall, I'm nitpicking here. Both NIN and Bauhaus were fantastic, and I'd love to see them both again. I've looked at other Bauhaus setlists on this current tour and it seems like every fifth city or something doesn't get "Bela". Just Houston's bad luck. I thought starting their set while it was daylight was kind of odd also. Maybe that's why (at least for the NY show) Peter was so energetic--sort of to compensate for the lack of atmosphere that an early evening show might have. One plus is that the sky grew progressively darker as the show went on allowing "Bela" to burst out of its coffin after the sun had already set--like in the film 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'. | |

yes and i don't like it! what's up with that?  It's alright, but I prefer the too-fucked-up look (see my profile pic and avatar) - the long hair and elbow high gloves were cool. | |

That sounds fantastic!!! Peter was definitely into it, and it was still a great show, I was just a little bummed we didn't get "Bela".
