The Human League

In December of 2003, the Human League performed in Brighton, England for a packed house at the Dome. Basically the line-up of Phil Oakey, Susan Anne Sulley and Joanne Catherall, this DVD is the Human League in concert covering everything from their breakthrough Dare! and on. Those interested in anything prior to that will be disappointed, as only "Empire State Human" is included, but as the originators of synth-pop, Oakey and company hold up rather nicely with a chic stage set-up and trance-inducing lights. The fact that the music, besides the vocals, sounds all pre-recorded doesn't even tarnish this surprisingly enjoyable set from a band who are now more relevant than ever. Plus: interview.
