Echo & the Bunnymen - Live Ferrand, France (1983)

Echo & the Bunnymen - Live Ferrand, France (1983)

This rarest of rare Echo & the Bunnymen bootleg was recorded in Clermont, Ferrand, France on March 3rd 1983. Probably at the height of of the bands early career. The track listing has been pulled from good old Steve Doughtys webpage, and it features the rare songs like "Gods Will be Gods" and "My White Devil" - some of the tracks off the fabulous and mostly my favorite "Porcupine" album. Describes as: "The Porcupine album is the epitome of rock band as heroic archetype – young men on some ill-defined but glorious mission, one easily as timeless as the stars and the sea." I can't think of a better and more dark and oppressive album that isn't from a band like Joy Division, than this Echo & The Bunnymen classic. The setlist is pretty solid and the sound captures this moment in time, not as clear as one would prefer -- but the concert is here in it's entirety. Lastly, a bonus interview session is included with Pete de Freitas and Ian Mcculloch. Now, I know tht the Bunnymen plan to play both the historic "Crocodiles" album together with "Heaven up Here" in a mega concert being done solely in the UK in December 2010, but I ask you...When will there be a complete concert featuring Porcupine or perhaps the 1987 classic (and USA favorite) Echo & The Bunnymen / Grey album?
