The Human League Live at the Dome is a DVD by the veteran British Synthpop group The Human League, containing a recording of a complete concert. It was commissioned by the band themselves due to the success of the Virgin Records commissioned The Very Best of the Human League (DVD) the previous year; and the high uptake for their live concerts.
The DVD records the entire concert played at the Brighton Dome on 19 December 2003, which was the closing night of the band's Very Best of Tour 2003.
Also included is an interview of the band's principal members Philip Oakey, Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall filmed at HL Studios, Sheffield, conducted by 'Jet' Martin Celmins; and an 'Access All Areas' featurette which mainly presents some of the highlights of the groups successful USA(four weeks)/Australia(two weeks) tour during 2003 filmed in a 'fly on the wall' style.
A companion two disc CD album was released in 2005 by Snapper Music called The Human League Live at the Dome.
The cover artworks for both the album and DVD was by Stig Olsen
Famous quotes containing the words human, league, live and/or dome:
“I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons & Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“To possess your soul in patience, with all the skin and some of the flesh burnt off your face and hands, is a job for a boy compared with the pains of a man who has lived pretty long in the exhilarating world that drugs or strong waters seem to create and is trying to live now in the first bald desolation created by knocking them off.”
—C.E. (Charles Edward)
“Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
