This was pre-Pete De Freitas era Bunnymen with Echo, the drum machine. What a difference he would make to the rhythm section and to the overall sound of the band.! He was a vital member indeed.
The lads in their big overcoats , thats how ill remember those days. Long Macs n overcoats ( even in summer) 😅
Met Ian in the pub after a Liverpool match once, he gave me a good half an hour's worth of conversation about all sorts, from the Ramones to the Lost Boys movie. We shared the same pub for years but I only crossed paths with him once or twice.
Thanks for dropping these gems for us Greg, Brilliant!
Brilliant that.......Mac's voice was superb right from the off
Well found. Nice accompaniment to the end of Will Sergeant's new memoir "Bunnyman". I bought the audiobook which he narrates, glad I did. Nice one Will. Can't wait for next installment :)
Thanks for listening
Check out his sequel, Echo as well. Well written fun read.
Legendary club
Masterpiece!!! Many thanks frrom Brazil!!!
Brilliant find, i remember the Bunnymen in the early days
I was standing just on the right and walked half way home in the snow with Ian that night
Snow in September?
I played Erics weeks later in my own band and walked home again with my guitar in my hand and it was thick snow. We have very mild Sep - January compared to the 70s and 60s snow came before Christmas alot in those days but now it snows in March and late Feb as it did just several years back. The Bunnymen played 2 gigs in Erics around that time.Yes i remember the converstaion clearly we asked him if he thought they would make it and he said he did not know he walked up Everton valley in the snow which by the way is miles from where he lived but everyone walked home in them days because we were skint.

@@GilbertSyndrome Yes it has 'inclimental weather' hasn't it LOL
@@bighill8272 Loosely translated as "shite" weather!
Fantastic, thanks mate.
My pleasure!
Reading Will Sergeants book I noted they saw Joy Division play at Eric's three times just before this performance. Even though they they feigned indifference, you can't help notice the similarities in vocal style with Ian Curtis here.
Definitely
Me too, I could imagine JD playing some of theses tracks.
The whole indifference thing isn’t quite right, and not what I got from Will’s book.
See from 7mins 40 secs into this vid about Eric’s …explains what happened ..same as I remember from the book.
And tbh I don’t see any obvious Curtis influence here on Mac… there’s similarities of the time, and there were some commonalities between post punk bands sounds.

Bollocks...doesn't sound anything like Ian Curtis. I saw either The Bunnymen's 1st or 2nd gig at Eric's (no one there)... and regularly saw Warsaw and JD and they don't sound remotely alike..
Woe where did this come from!? Sounds like just Mac and Will with the Echo box! Ah with Les, ok.
Before the ciggies & piss limited Ian range.
Ian always enjoyed a ciggie n me too . He still can sing great despite smoking. Alcohol is no good tho as makes you go out of tune.
