J-Card Comment Lou's short summer 1980 tour of mainland Europe to promote Growing Up In Public was a "big-stadium" event, playing to audiences of 60,000+ - the biggest of Lou's career. Both Lou and band rose to the occasion with tight, impassioned performances and an impressive set list. More than half the songs from the new album get an airing and there's also a 4 song selection from "Berlin". The last 3 songs contain lengthy instrumental sections (during which I suspect Lou left the stage). Reviews (in Spanish) and photos from both this show and the abandoned Madrid show were published in "Popular" magazine, July 1980.
