Day 23: Two Hands One Mouth

The sleeve of 'Two Hands One Mouth' by Sparks. Two men in the lower half of the image, one with blue hands almost obscuring his small moustache, the other with a blue mouth. The blue from Ron's hands rises like smoke to form the word 'Sparks' above them.

'Two Hands, One Mouth: Live In Europe is a compilation of recordings from the European leg of Sparks 2012 tour of the same name, where they performed as a duo with no band. It features songs from across their (then) 45 year career. The instrumentation is mostly piano with a dusting of synth strings until the encore, accompanied by enthusiastic and mostly in-time clapping from some audiences. It's very much a celebration, and demonstrates how well the songs stand up with minimal accompaniment. At the end of the encore, the audience can be heard chanting 'We love Ron', and they aren't wrong. Even from listening to the audio, it's obvious when Ron does his dance to 'Beat The Clock'.
