But then the tribes have always had certain similarities and a shared appreciation of Echo and the Bunnymen is one of them. As if returning to a spiritual home, Ian McCulloch leads his Bunnymen on stage, fighting against a tide of dry ice in a thigh length coat. Looking closely , there's a simian gait to match the heavy duty outerware , not dissimilar to the Gallaghers and Browns of this parish. Will Sergeant Looks the same as ever on lead guitar, head bowed over his fretboard and taking care of business, opening the show last Tuesday night with the brilliant Going Up. The sprung dancefloor really begins to bounce when Sergeant strikes the simple, chiming riff of Rescue, which sounds just as big as it does on record. A brief dip into The Doors' Roadhouse Blues is the first hint of a cover but a familiar theme for the night, which sees some of the Bunnymen's Greatest Hits mixed with such heroes as Lou Reed and snatches of the Beatles. The quality of the back catalogue means that emotions stir before the greatest hits even emerge . Seven Sea and Bring on the Dancing Horsesstrike with emotional jabs to the stomach before both the Back of Love and Killing Moon deliver a knockout Blow. The masterpiece that is the Cutter is left until the end of the show proper, leaving Nothing Lasts Forever and Lips Like Suger spread over two encores. Time has done nothing nothing to blemish the songs Echo and the Bunnymen still play so incredibly well.
