I met Siouxsie once, when she was on tour as the Creatures in the States. The theater was packed, but after the show, not even one percent gathered round where she would be signing autographs. I l know because I stayed to see her. So much worth it, too bad I was just another guy with social anxiety, not saying much but willing to see Siouxsie face to face for a moment in time. Pun intended, my lovely foe. I wish I had words, but, even if I did, she only really had time to sign autographs for people there. At least she did that, how can you forget when Siouxsie is just a few feet from you. How come this is one memory that will be, "Close to you til the last beat of my heart"? I just keep wading in the heart shaped pool of pain, not knowing any better to get out. Hey, that is what 30 years of social anxiety will do to you, you know? I am always delayed, kiss them for me.
The consensus, over the many years, is that: THIS is the definitive version of "Sin In My Heart". I heard Nocturne in 1985, and I agree. I love how, in this performance, Siouxsie is so in the moment, yet, seems so cool and non-reflective over what she just did..."This is what I do, and this is who I am...nothing more, nothing less." I hope she plays that (magical, majestic) Blue Tear Drop Semi-Acoustic electric guitar again, in the very near future. It's a part of her and her musical legacy.
@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 i agree with you, this is the best version of Sin In My Heart ever. I like 1981 Cologne live version too but this with Robert Smith its perfect.
I was there on the Friday show,,it was amazing,perfect,,,and the support band Fad Gadget was awesome,,Budgies drums left a ringing in my ears all night,,the railings we held on to at the top floor amazing,,,the logo jumping was only about 3 to 5 rows from the front,,,,A super night to remember,,,,
Have a look at the videos of McGeoch doing Sin in my Heart a couple of years earlier. Smith does well with his interpretation of it but McGeoch was a god.
@@pressureworks yes but he's seldom mentioned within the realm of rock despite him being a very unique drummer. For me, he's seldom talked about when people run off names of great drummers, hence my OP. .
Thank you for sharing this classic track syrex33, it is the clearest sound and video i have seen of a young Siouxsie Sioux, for this particular track Awesome! (Trouble is with this song, sadly and prematurely over too soon).
They're from the Nocturne live CD and DVD recorded in the Royal Albert Hall. I saw them for about 9 euros on the internet. You should check the other video's aswell, Helter Skelter, Eve White/Eve Black, Painted Bird and Spellbound will impress you. There's also a complete set from 81 on youtube by user skywalker 74. Nearly the same set, couple of other songs. ENJOY! P.S. why doesn't it show my comment when I reply...pfff
Another live version of that masterpiece of violent lust, Sin in My Heart, by SATB. This one from 1983. The tortured genius John McGeoch has been replaced by Robert Smith. We see Smith's absolute technical mastery, down to his spare, martial movements on stage even. He is like a samurai sword master with his guitar. McGeoch was more like a being merged with his guitar, becoming the instrument itself. Smith is magnificent. I prefer McGeoch.
I refuse to decide which one I like better. They're both geniuses, and their playing styles are so different that it's not even an apples to apples comparison. More like apples to bicycles. I happen to like both apples and bicycles.
stevobath The Banshees sacking of John started the long slow demise of both parties. They should have cut back on the touring - to rest John AND Siouxsie - and managed that amazing lineup better. Neither recaptured the brilliance of those two short years.
stevobath it probably did save him, but while he was alive they never called him back to rejoin even after john got sobered up, It must have bothered him to be released like that, he was good in PIL but sadly he never was the same like he was in the banshees era
