Echo & The Bunnymen - Live Berlin 1981

Well, well seems like the Bunnymen.com website is getting some juice from the fine folks at SXSW, who've named the site runner-up in a huge contest of sorts. I think that is good considering how few users visit the place. I rather prefer the footloose atmosphere over at Villiers Terrace.com - The Ultimate Echo and the Bunnymen Discography. It seems rather like a pub that you'd find Ian Mcculloch in, lots of loud voices, cheer, and some ramblings funnny enough to rival Comedy Central. The .com site on the other hand, is pure 100% beef - meaning marketing, twittering, and re-selling the golden oldies via advertising efforts. The real people, fans - meet up on the Terrace. Enuff about that - either way any news for Bunnymen.com is good news. This below show comes kindly from the fine folks at Villers Terrace - the fan site for all things Bunnymen. Recorded in Berlin in the early days (1981) to be exact, this show is a really good audience recording, featuring songs from the tops album "Heaven up Here" - probably my favorite Bunnymen gem. Now you won't get your head smashed in via the loo but it does hit hard, with the rumbling rhythm from Les and Pete. They blast crowd favorites like "All That Jazz", "Rescue" and "Over The Wall". You even get the seldom acknowledged live version of "The Puppet" a single less favored by the band as being up to snuff , now that they're able to look back. I rather like it, considering the latest releases. Either way, charge up the ipad or itouch and jam these Berlin sessions, like The Basterds.
