Gang of Four Live In Concert In 02 Academy, Bristol
Gang of Four returned to New York with a completely different line-up from the last time the band toured America. Three years ago, the British post-punk band was led by founding guitarist Andy Gill with three 21st century replacement musicians.
Before he died in 2020, guitarist Andy Gill undertook several tours of the United States with a Gang of Four lineup that included no other original members. Since 2012, that version of the band appeared several times in DC, performing songs from two newly recorded albums as well as legacy Gang of Four selections.
Forty years on, playing that rightly revered and acclaimed album live in its entirety (though not in its precise order), Gang of Four posed a new question: at what point does a band cease to be itself, and become a tribute act instead.
