I wish they could have stuck on some old TV appearances or throw in the Shine so hard film. Maybe they are saving that stuff for the DVD.

Flowers sounded superb, the many treasures from = their back catalogue even better. The band is back on the road - or rather, as was the case last time, the = most recent version of the band, centred around the original core duo of = Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant - and this time the tour is supposed to = be a celebration, a 25th anniversary no less. Harrowingly, it's = something of a disaster. The immaculately ruffled frontman McCulloch strides onstage, all scouse = cool behind shades and a cigarette, only to be met with a damp, thin = sound mix. It's so bad he apologises for it several times, expressing = his own frustration at not being able to hear himself by nearly taking = out his bassist when he kicks over the mic stand.=20 The band just about manage to get through the show, even making it = through a couple of encores, but through no fault of their own, it's a = shambles. Nonetheless, through the sonic fug we are able to catch glimpses of all = the things that made the Bunnymen great. McCulloch's cracked croon is as rich and compelling as ever. Sergeant's = guitar lines are often mesmerising, whether he's firing off piercing = shards or unleashing cascading waves.=20 And the duo's unfeasibly consistent, classy songwriting has more than a = few punters reaching for their mobiles during Bring on the Dancing = Horses and Lips Like Sugar. But for a band who after a nine-year hiatus pulled off in 1997 perhaps = the most dignified rock comeback of the last 20 years - and let's face = it, there are more than a few '80s bands out there who've unsuccessfully = tried to do the same, some soon to be "gracing" us with their presence - - = it is a dignity-stripping display. What finally wrenches at the heartstrings isn't the power of the = performance. It is the fact that this might be the last memory we have = of Echo & the Bunnymen.

Has anyone else noticed that the grey album has no title on it (on the booklet) but all the other cd booklets do (and the original did)?? I also realised for the first time that the grey album ends with a track that is very similar to the Candleland vibe and I remember an interview where they say that the last track on each album is a reflection of where they are heading next. The singing on the Life at Brian's Silver is awful...and not too keen on The Game (acoustic).... Love Show of Strength live and I love the Read It In Books version on Crocodiles (never heard that before)... and the crowd cheering just before Over the Wall on the Shine So Hard version makes me smile (reminds me of Eric Morecamb where he encourages the audience to cheer and then makes them stop instantly with a hand signal) ha ha.
