  • “Lay Down Thy Raincoat And Groove” Some say the greatest ever Echo & The Bunnymen concert. Some say the world stopped spinning when the opening notes were played by Will Sergeant, only starting to spin again after the last notes of Do It Clean had been played. It was 1983, this is Echo & The Bunnymen playing live at the Albert Hall during the Ley Line Tour.

    One of my fave all-time bands. To know they were making this music in the 70s and 80s makes them that much more impressive. I can listen to them today and it's still fresh.

      U must be a superfan, Echo was top 20 in 1983, but Rush, the smiths, Big Country, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Van Halen, The police, U2, The Clash, Tears for Fears, Eurythmics, INXS, human league all better in 1983 for starters. I could go on but I don't have all day.

      Definitely a rock solid rhythm section. One of the best rhythm sections not only of the 80’s, but really in the entire history of rock/pop/post-punk/new wave/take-your-pick-of-labels.
      I can totally understand why Les decided to call it quits at a certain point. As a bass player myself, I can say that if I had grown accustomed to playing with a drummer of Pete’s caliber, I’d be permanently spoiled/ruined for any other drummer.

      It is available on CD. It was released as a hard-to-find stand alone disc but before that as the bonus disc on the 2cd 'Deluxe' Ocean Rain in 2008. Copies still emerge on eBay from time to time. It doesn't have the encores of Heroin and Do It Clean but those tracks are on the Crystal Days box so you can get the entire performance. @@PlasticDemons

    This early faster version of Killing Moon (20:20) is interesting. Maybe it’s just because I’m overly familiar with the official version that we all know and love, but I almost kind of like this stripped down, streamlined version more (and I absolutely *LOVE* the album/single version). It’s like my idea of what it would sound like had it been recorded for Crocodiles rather than Ocean Rain.

This is some of the greatest live footage of any band ever, at the absolute pinnacle of their existence… and yet it’s almost impossible to obtain a copy. At least we have this upload. I’ll suffer the annoying ads if I have to.
