Halloween Miracula was an intimate concert and cocktail party held at a secret venue in Pasadena, CA. Only 30 guests were in attendance, and we mingled before Peter’s outdoor moonlit concert began in the backyard of the private residence where the event took place. Peter and his band performed selected Bauhaus songs, many songs that span his solo career, and his 1989 album, Deep, in its entirety. The highlight of my evening was hearing Peter’s acoustic mash-up of “A Strange Kind of Love” and “Bela Lugosi’s Dead.”
After his performance, he mingled with guests at the cocktail party. I had an unexpected treat–Peter approached me and asked if he could join me for a light meal of sesame peanut noodles. We sat in a quiet little corner to have a pleasant meal and conversation. I told him that I first saw him perform during the Holy Smoke Tour in 1992. We chatted and joked a bit, and after we finished eating, he introduced me to some of the folks who attended his Las Vegas Miracula event. This was a most unforgettable concert experience. |
