Billy Idol

In the electrifying live performance of "Flesh For Fantasy" at the Congress Theater in Chicago on November 30, 2008, Billy Idol showcased his enduring appeal and rock-star charisma. Just prior to this recording, Idol was riding high on the success of his earlier albums, especially the iconic 'Rebel Yell' from 1983, which features the very track performed here. This period of his career marked a resurgence, as he embraced live performances following a hiatus in the late '90s. Notably, the live show features the dynamic partnership of Idol and longtime collaborator Steve Stevens on guitar, whose riffs defined a significant part of Idol's sound. Set against a backdrop of nostalgia for the 1980s, this performance not only highlighted Idol's classic hits but also reminded fans of his electrifying stage presence and the timelessness of his music.
