Echo & The Bunnymen - Live at Eric's (1979)

Echo & The Bunnymen - Live at Eric's (1979)

Echo & The Bunnymen are getting a lot of space on this blog, but sometime soon it's going to tip and you'llbe seeing some other bands, including some of my most favorite. That is unless you want to share your Bunnymen setlist and story? Always looking for live shows and solo posts from Ian Mcculloch - send away, you scurvey dogs. The latest show, which is quite a rare set, is Echo & The Bunnymen's first. Performed at the legendary Eric's on 15-09-79, this show featured Will and Ian joined on-stage by a drum machine. not sure is Les was on bass or not, but the shows was a disasterous and wonderful experience, with many in the audience flabberghasted as to the sounds coming from this small band. Will claims to have not known how to play his guitar and i am sure some of the lyrics are questionable at this first stage. They had enough of a setlist to garner some attention and to get a future deal. Straight to the facts on this one- so listen up and see if you can hear all the mistakes and the fuzz getting down.

Not sure it was their first since their first involved the drum machine going for 20 minutes solid without stopping.

Do you have a recommendation for opening .rar files?

Yes, Winzip will open Rar files nicely. Also you are right about the first try. I missed that one. A blogger misses some about 50% of the time. Thanks for the check-in and the kind words!
