Gary Numan at The Opera House - Concert Pictures

Electronic music pioneer, legendary musician, influential songwriter and magnetic performer Gary Numan was in Toronto at The Opera House for a three-night stand playing classic albums in their entirety. On May 23 the crowd heard Replicas and on May 25 Telekon was featured. The night that Roy Cohen and I both attended was May 24 when Gary and the band played all of The Pleasure Principle, plus a raft of hits.

I've always liked a lot of Gary's music but I love the way the songs sound live. They're much more powerful and muscular from the stage. Gary is a mesmerizing performer and a joy to photograph. His intensity and emotion are strong and captivating. Click on any picture to enlarge in slideshow.

Here are some of my personal favourites from his incredible setlist:

"Cars"

"Are 'Friends' Electric"

"Metal"

"Films"

"I'm an Agent"

"We are Glass"

"I Die You Die"

"Pure"
