  Yeah, tho' i didn't think it at all a loss, I just thought they were going "back to basics.***"
   
    Beyond Bela Lugo, si', dead" I didn't know anything about them til a friend invited me 
  to their '98 shows. We ended catching 3 shows that wknd. I agree about that '98 tour.
   
  ***i've read that the 1st time'round, 
      bauhaus played live to a punk ethos 
      of refusing all things fancy, only 
      austere black/white lighting allowed

I kind of missed the boat when Bauhaus was first around at the beginning of 
the 80's. Beyond picking up their two compilation cds "1979 - 1983" and 
liking a few of their more significant singles, I really didn't listen to or 
know much else about them. I actually got more into Love and Rockets through 
the 80's due to their self titled album with the single "So Alive."

However, when Bauhaus reformed in '98, I saw one of their Hollywood 
Palladium shows on basically a whim and it turned out to be one of the all 
time best concerts I've ever seen and I quickly went nuts and bought 
everything they've ever released on any format.

When I saw them in '05, that was also a damn good show but they basically 
did their show on a bare stage with no props unlike the '98 tour and Murphy 
frankly looked like he'd aged about 20 years, looked really unkempt with a 
pot belly and badly bleached scraggly hair complete with a big bald patch. 
He looked somewhat better when I saw them open for Nine Inch Nails a year 
later but his best days are clearly behind him and he looks like a right 
twat when he does those goofy goth aerobics moves these days.
