ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - Live La Edad de Oro 1984 

really...

Fábio Zappa yeah. Fkn really...

I remember the gay traitor, very vividly, saw the world of twist and intastella play there

@@valley_robot I was also a fan of both WoT and Intastella, not for dance, but for driving over the Pennines from Manchester to Sheffield and back every day in the dark mostly. Saint Etienne were also a fave of mine around that time.

he was definitely the most underrated drummer of the 80s.

@Matt·Dylan It was a pitty that Peter died in moto accident, music lost a new brand drummer way

Like you have listen in "All as jazz" song. I've enjoy this ban form thar years. i was omly 20.

Thankfully i saw them once intact so to speak ( wembley arena 1988 I think, i remember mac dropping his mic at the start of thorn of crowns!) I've thought how Will has heavily influenced the guitar of bands like Radiohead also, sheer magic , when the lights go down and the gregorian chant starts its STILL a shivery moment even today....

Fantastic drumer!!!! a terrible loss for world music!!!

I prefer Pink Floyd. That was a wonderful band.

I'd never seen anyone play the drums so hard before. He definitely broke a few sticks when I saw them.

I saw them at THE GREEK in Los Angeles September 9, 1984. A friend of a friend knew a girl that was seeing their drummer at the time. We delivered "party favors" backstage at the show I saw. ;p We got great seats!!!

I was at that Universal Amphitheatre concert as well! Front row! So amazing! Grateful to see them LIVE at their apex. Ray Manzarek from the Doors came out for the encore to play "people are strange"

His snare fills were like machine gun fire

I don’t know about “peak”. Realistically I’d say that was the previous year, but yes they were still very much on top of their game at this point. A year or so later and the cracks started showing.

Can't argue with Ian

Best band best album...ocean rain....greatest song ever written....the killing moon .....all his claims....was he wrong,? NO...LOL!!!!!

Mac the Mouth

No questions for me. They are one of the very few bands that occupy rock music's most elite level, all things considered. What an absolute gift to have discovered these guys at the beginning!

Yep. History will look back on the latter half of the 20th century as the peak era of pop culture, and at the 1977-1982 period specifically as the pinnacle of the era. I was 10 years old in ‘77 and 15 in ‘82. I was turning on to all this incredible stuff for the first time, and it shaped me into the person I’ve been ever since. Forged in fire. As disappointing and dystopian as these times are, I’ll at least die happy knowing that I got to experience those years.

absolutely ❤️ 💯 ❤️ 💯 🎉😊

such an accurate statement

te equivocas son de Inglaterra, Liverpool!

Wait, are you saying Mac’s from America?

No, that's not what's written

@@nicolekoretsky9062 I’m not sure if you’re addressing me or the OP, but in the context of what you said it only makes sense that you meant that for me. If that is indeed the case, then all I can say is that little American flag emoji certainly leads one to believe that the OP thinks that either Mac or the Bunnymen as a whole are from the USA. I mean, could I have misinterpreted the post? Possibly, as I don’t regularly communicate almost entirely in emojis… but from where I sit it sure does appear that way.

@@Shikta-poobah67 I meant the person who made the stupid question about Mac being from America. Apologies for placing the comment @you xx

“Aye! Sit on it” -Les Pattinson

My thoughts exactly.

Well, he did have some trouble on My Kingdom...

mi tambiem...

Exactly.

Don´t forget New Order and Talking Heads.

And Dont forget The Cure!!

Don't forget The Cult

Killing Joke still going strong.

Dear Mr. Echo...

Neil neil, oorange peeel

Echo was the name of their drum machine.

@@barkmark2725 The drums have a great voice. So does Ian.

Concordo

E aí brazucas. Esses caras fizeram história. Tenho uma coletanea deles que já ouvi umas trezentas vezes.

I was at that Pier show in NYC when Ray Manzarek came out and played Bed Bugs and Ballyhoo. Amen brother.

@@ranxerox5310 1986 .... seems so long ago.

I was at that concert in 1986 at the Pier! It was one of the best ever! Gene Loves Jezebel opened the show. It was an amazing backdrop seeing the skyscrapers and hearing this great music. I took my new girlfriend who never heard of this stuff. I played Echo, New Order and GLJ in the car for her so she would have some benchmark for the show. We broke up a year or so after the concert, but we still stay in touch. She continues to tell me that show, that night was one of the best of her life. I agree. I would give anything to find a recording of that show in its entirety. Until then, shows like this are fantastic. Those were heady times with excellent music coming out from all over.....especially the UK

@@NeilMHickey1 Thanks for sharing that.

One year past their prime. Still great though.

Love him. He’s such a sweetheart too, social and easy to talk to, great sense of humour

+stereopolice Thank You Very Much.

I will take that as a recommendation to subscribe now.

Makes sense. I’m pretty sure it had been a charting hit in Spain a few years earlier.
