Living Ornaments '81

Living Ornaments '81 is a live album recording of a concert on 28 April 1981 by British musician Gary Numan. It was released as a double CD in 1998. The 28 April 1981 show was the third and last of Numan's 'Farewell Concerts' staged at Wembley Arena. The concert was filmed and released on VHS as Micromusic in April 1982; Living Ornaments '81 is essentially an audio release of the video, albeit one released almost 16 years later. In 1981, Beggars Banquet Records released edited versions of two Numan concerts as the live albums Living Ornaments '79 and Living Ornaments '80. In 1998, an expanded version of Living Ornaments '79, featuring the entire concert, was released on CD. An expanded CD version of Living Ornaments '80 album had been planned for release as well, but tapes of the full concert had been lost. Living Ornaments '81 – hitherto unreleased as an official live album – was therefore released on CD instead.
