Fans had to wait an extra seven months after his February tour was rescheduled, but Adam Ant finally opened his first U.S. tour in 16 years last week, performing a hit-filled, 28-song set at Los Angeles’ Mayan Theatre on Thursday night. As you can see from the setlist posted below, Ant opened with “Plastic Surgery” from the 1978 film “Jubilee” and ended with 1980 B-side “Physical (You’re So).”
Below, we’ve assembled a series of clips from the show, spanning more than half the set. The U.S. tour continues through the end of October, and Ant promises he’ll soon finally be releasing his long-in-the-works comeback album Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar in Marrying The Gunner’s Daughter. A single is expected in the near future.

I’ve got to admit. That looks fun. And still closing shows with (You’re So) Physical.
For some reason this totally dropped off my radar and I missed it! Thanks for posting the video.
