Two years ago today -- which seems like an eternity, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark played a concert at teatro La Cúpula in Santiago, Chile. During their show, they performed a bunch of their greatest hits including the much loved "Pandora's Box." That 1991 song, a tribute to the silent film star Louise Brooks, is known far and wide. As can be seen in this 2-2-19 concert clip, OMD fans in Santiago sing along in English to this song of Lulu.
O.M.D. LIVE IN CHILE - Pandora's Box (Saturday, Feb. 2nd 2019)
It is worth noting that more than a handful of fans of Louise Brooks in the United States and England and Canada and elsewhere around the world have told me that their path to discovering the actress began with this OMD song. That is also the case with this Portuguese fan, who said as much during the recent listening party on twitter.
A few days before OMD performed in Chile, they gave a concert in Lima, Peru at Domos Art, Costa Verde. And again, the crowd sang along in English.
