On its first U.S. tour in decades, the band known for 'I'm Not In Love' digs deep into its quirky catalog.
I was 17 the first time I heard “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc. It came over my car radio in late spring 1975, and I literally had to pull over to listen. I thought it was the greatest love song I’d ever heard. The lyrics were incredible. The ethereal sound was stunning. Seeing 10cc for the first time in concert at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre on Thursday left me with that same blown-away feeling. But they are so much more than “I’m Not in Love.
10cc was famous for their songs' artfulness, dreaminess and Monty Python-style satire, but some of the band's strongest songs onstage Thursday were stripped-down rockers, whether it was the twangy Good Morning Judge” or the a cappella doo-wop rendition of “Donna” at the end of the night. Pure joy. “It was kind of a fun thing. It was similar to ‘Oh Darling,’ the McCartney song,” Gouldman said, explaining the origins of “Donna.
