Echo & the Bunnymen formed in Liverpool in 1978 making them a whopping thirty years old this year, and as always reminding me of my own state of aging!Their original lineup included vocalist Ian McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant, who both continue to be, the main stays of the band.
The band are scheduled to play a sell out show in September this year at London's Royal Albert Hall, complete with an orchestra to perform the album 'Ocean Rain'.
A little removed from their 'post punk' beginnings in Liverpool three full decades ago.
Anyhow, this is from just one decade ago and features Echo and The Bunnymen live at The Kilburn National, in London on the 17th October 1997.
This concert was broadcast by the BBC, and this is a good quality FM stereo recording of the gig.
Set list is:
1. Rescue.
2. I want to be there when you come.
3. Baseball Bill.
4. The Cutter.
5. Just a touch away.
6. Crocodiles.
7. Forgiven.
8. I'll fly tonight.
9. Seven seas.
10. Villiers Terrace.
11. Altamont.
12. Lips like sugar.
13. Ocean rain.
14. Nothing lasts forever.

Thanks Beehive!
Yes sir, seen the bunny's, many times, sounds very different.
HI ROB,
INTERESTING FEEDBACK, THE SOURCE FOR THIS BOOT HAS BEEN FANTASTICALLY RELIABLE TO DATE, AND WAS OF THE OPINION THIS WAS THE GENUINE LINE UP PERFORMING, AS TAPED BY HIM AT THE TIME.
WILL TRY AND CHECK THIS OUT
GREAT TO GET CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK, MAKES THIS FEEL ALL THE MORE WORTHWHILE

Yup - it's Mac.
yes - it's ian. this is years after noel and certainly not him. ian does sound rather hoarse and off key at times but i
don't doubt it's him. thanks for the tape - and the many others you've given us!
Thanks Beehive for another superb posting! EATB are the best band in the universe. If you don't believe me head over to my blog to check out some of their rare cover tunes.

Yea defintely Ian singing - you can't be much of a fan Rob
Saw them last summer at Hyde Park, London, and they still made my spine tingle when performing The Killing Moon - at least the second time after messing up the first attempt!Thanks for this Mike..
