“A fool who couldn't see

It didn't mean that much to me

I couldn't understand

That's how the game is meant to be

Love's great adventure mine.”

So I got the news that Ultravox will play live in Sweden this coming autumn. I grew up listening a lot to Ultravox but I have never seen them live so I thought to myself now’s the time to do it. I was wrong.

Tickets are starting at 485 Swedish kronor! To “translate” this amount of money in other currencies it would be approximately $70, €55 or £45. For a band that peaked their career some 30 years ago. This is ridiculous.

I doubt that Ultravox is to blame so no shadow shall fall on them. But instead of buying myself a ticket to their show I will listen to this song and watch the fantastic music video over and over again. For free.

Ultravox – Love’s great adventure is found on the record “The collection” released in 1984.
