ah!😅 io nell'81 a milano, unica volta i italia, credo... comunque, 😄 ho cominciato a cantare col mio gruppo thank's poi "local heroes" (cit.da uno con lo stesso nome a londra), comunque, anch'io ho fatto a giugno gli stessi tuoi anni....; ma, voglio essere sincera, "lei" non credo sia tanto + in lá, visto il film "educativo" di malcom mclaren (pil) sui sex pistols... begli anni... aaah! a noi 🥳 !!! ciao
Her ear to ear grinning through so much of this is ... everything. Siouxsie is so clearly happy to be back in her element. I went to the only US show of this tour so far, at the Cruel World Festival, and it's a night seared in my memory. I had seen her before, back in the day, but there's something so magical about our dark mother showing us how it's STILL dione at 66!!!
Her voice is totally gone, but I'll love her forever. Her 1983 dream like performance of Nightshift at the Royal Albert Hall, looking like she has jumped out of a Klint painting still gives me goosebumps.
She would not have been able to carry nearly 20 headlining gigs all summer long with a ‘totally gone’ voice. Not once did she lose it or have to cancel shows or anything. Has it changed? Yes. But it still has heft. It changed in the 80s from what it was in the 70s. It changed in the 90s from what it was in the 80s. It changed in the 00s from what it was in the 90s. And now, mid-60s, post-menopausal, having conquered an astonishing career that spanned 4 decades across 3 bands (Banshees, Creatures, solo), recording and touring non-stop across nearly 20 albums and literally hundreds of songs before she took a break, well, I think she sounds fucking great. I think her deeper more sepulchral voice suits the songs she’s chosen to sing. And the band's sound is deeper and darker and aligns with her current vocal tone. So, as someone who believed she had ‘Greta Garbo’d’ her way into retirement, I for one, am so glad she decided to return.
I have to disagree, from what I can tell in this video her voice sounds the same as it always has. Maybe a bit less power, but at her age she's doing a damn fine job. She always sang on the flat side of the scale, but that's what gave her her sound. Go Siouxsie!
lol @ 24:53 "c'mon just fuking play it"....i agree too much tech and AI, laptops and ipads onstage, when the original song was just a guitar and bass intro. I'm glad she's still at it, tho her voice is shot, she still has a good time and fans love her
@@blackcloudsovereurope really? I’m not the one that said she has a pooch. Don’t get me wrong….how many black straight guys love Christine, Kiss Them For Me, Dear Prudence, and Cities in Dust? As a massive Cure fan…I’ve always respected Siouxsie as Smith’s collabs as well. But it’s now just getting a little cringe. Some people take better care of themselves than others. I never hit her appearance wise or even the voice.
Wowww!!!! I cant believe this was just a few weeks ago!! She has aged well and still sounds good!!! I was recently thinking of how she is doing and then VOILA! here she is in full glory!!!!
Funny, when we were doing this back in 70's / 80's, didn't even dream that we would still be playing these songs as pensioners!! Glad I was there when it meant something!
But gigging the same songs over and over is better than real work. i know cos I sort of do both. Love to Siouxie. We had some fun back then on the road didnt we?@@helenparnaby88
Souxie and the banchees had some great songs. It’s great hearing them live again. Would prefer a more professional video and audio recording and if souxie soux had been better prepared, fit and ready to take these songs back on the road. 🤔
Im talking about when it was happening and not a butlins nostagia funfare ride. If you were a part of them times you'll know what i mean@@claudioduffrayer
Her legendary meditation on the Jack The Ripper figure - never caught . She still has some curves ! Juju album has never been equalled , even by Siouxsie and the boys . I didnt realize she could still put on a deep show . Im impressed .
Siouxsie was at the top of her vocal game between 1986 ("Tinderbox") and 1999 ("Anima Animus"). I simply adored her. I was so intoxicated with her mysterious, atypical, intense voice that no other singer ever made a bigger impression/influence on my own singing. Since then, sadly, for whatever reason (medical?), her voice dramatically degraded. She first lost the higher notes, then the intensity, then it started sounding like she couldn't catch a breath. What's left of her voice now, can only appeal to hardcore fans. :-( Still a fascinating stage animal, though. :-)
This is a good analysis of her voice, could you write me right here similar summary of Marilyn Manson’s voice please?I think he is the same case as Siouxsie is.
she has a autoimmune disease she neglected and had laryngitis multiple times, just smoking won’t cause that much of a decline. it is a show for fans though, as a huge fan i thoroughly enjoyed it and accepted her voice was gone a long time ago
Alright, so I grew up on Siouxie, hearing her on the radio and not even knowing who she was but entranced by her voice. I still have the poster I got in 1981 of her. When , in my 20’s, I finally took the plunge and went full goth, she was my muse. I recently went a while with her not even on my radar when my husband and I were watching Stranger Things 4 and the ending credits, it was Siouxie. Literally, my entire life played before my eyes as I went into immediate pure bliss. I don’t know if she’s aware of the effect that she has had on people’s lives…but in this Odd goths life the impact was ….shit, I can’t even think of a word that would describe it correctly. The fact the her voice has gotten deeper and a little slower that didn’t really bother me, ffs, she’s almost 70. What broke my heart, was the sound of her trying to catch her breath… She still has that entrancing stage presence…good gawd, amazing.
I wish she would do more concerts in the States!! I’ve been wanting to see her ever since I was introduced to her in the early 90’s! After doing some research on her I discovered that she’s a Gemini as I am 😊 And a huge Cat Lover ❤ Such as me too!! I absolutely adore her and her music/voice makes me smile and happy when I am down😢 Thank You for all the people that uploaded her concerts.. I have watched every single one of them!! I can’t ever get tired of her!!!
Don't worry. She'll be back. 2024 is the year for writing and recording in Sioux Land. These very same people are working on some new heavenly hellish devilry.
What's that belt she's got wrapped around her ? She starts with really one of their most unforgettable songs on the JUJU album . Oh, it says Nightshift above. I just looked.Monitor I think it's called maybe Nightshift-don't havethe album anymore lost so much in storage.Really one of their most savage soundscapes. This one they could redo with strings and choir and Varesian orchestral scrapes or Scelsi microtones ! Brings tears to me eyes! I must not relive my foolish youth nor mourn its departure ! Dear Prudence really brought them back but my favewas the Creatures cover of RightNow I hope she visits Miami ! Saint-Saens begins this clip music from Carnival of the Animals . earlier the Banshees chose Stravinsky but they are older and don't need to impress or outrage . Hope I getto see her again !
Pretty good, Madame Sioux. I'm hoping that some (or all) of this performance was professionally recorded for posterity. Thank you for uploading such well recorded footage. I really hope she and her long-time band of Gents go in to the studio and conjure up some new magic and sorcery, for 2024. Goodness and Darkness know We need it...
Disclaimer: I LOVE Siouxsie and the Banshees. BUT - artists need to know WHEN to quit - money be damned. The band was on point, but HER time is over. It was like watching Morticia Addams trying to sing. Fire away, you blind zealots - fire away!
Yeah, her voice is toast compared to what it once was, and this band just can't replace her classic line-ups. I still like seeing her, but it is sad to see what age has done to her once mesmerizing beauty. Smoking is evil... it has killed so many of my friends and destroyed her voice.
Night Shift ❤❤❤ Rock it, Siouxsie! Love you! My daily routine entails the following: "Alexa, play music by Siouxsie and the Banshees." I never tire of her and their music. My knowledge of her music has been expanded greatly because of this. Her early music is some of my favorite. Definitely my favorite group of all time!
I got to see the back of them for a half of a song as my brother knew them when they played Perkins in Pasadena,Ca. 1981. I got in mid set and he said I didn’t know you were bringing your girlfriend…… I couldn’t leave her outside looked at my brother, shook my head in disappointment and left. O wish I had told her to take a Powder and stayed. That’s my shi-ite story.
Good set that. HKG was the first grown up single I bought. I once dreamed I had to fill in for Robert Smith for a Banshees gig. Don't remember doing any Cure songs though.
The audio engineer, it is seen that he is new in the environment, because he struggled a lot in the arrangements and musical effects. Good for the theatrical gothic punk rocker woman.
The Vox Teardrop goes back earlier than that. Saw the Banshees on the Kaleidoscope tour and that splendid guitar made an appearance then. I'd been into the band since '78 but that was the first time I saw Siouxsie play guitar.
She's still got style and star power that's for sure. On a side note, it's amazing how BBC Sounds supports only a few festivals like Glastonbury and particularly Latitude which is comparatively small, with its 45,000 attendees, yet resolutely ignores other really popular festivals, particularly Download with its 100,000 metalheads.
