"We used a Gibson 330 and a couple of Fenders. A Jaguar and a Jazzmaster, which weren’t very fashionable at the time. I’ve got a small group of guitars I use now. I’ve got a Fender Telecaster, just a standard one from about ‘85, which I love. I’ve got an old archtop, which is anonymous. Somebody told me it looks like a Gibson GI guitar. I’ve never heard of this but somebody, an old jazz player in England told me that during the second world war, Gibson and various makers gave guitars away to troops in Europe during the war, which is news to me but this is what I was told. So they were unmarked, they just gave guitars away and some of them made their way back to Britain. And I believe what I’ve got is one of those but I’m not entirely sure. I’ve got a Fender 12 string, a couple of lap steels and a host of ukeleles. I’m a big ukelele fan, a Martin and several proper ukes, which I think are great for writing on."

Smith and Orzabal front the band playing bass and six-string guitars respectively, and concentrating on delivering the songs to the audience. Behind them the drummer, percussionist, guitarist, saxophonist, and backing vocalists concede nothing to Tears for Fears' techno-pop past. Even the keyboards appear to play a modest part in the proceedings - Oleta Adams' grand piano and Andy Davis' Roland A80 MIDI controller aren't going to get the technophiles sweating.
