Last night E and I saw Echo & The Bunnymen play at the Fillmore. It was a great show. They rocked out with a lot more heavy guitars and drums than I would have thought from their albums. Ian has the same bedhead hair that he's always had. He voice was deeper and more raspy live (probably due to the 1/2 a pack of cigs he smoked during the show). The place was close to sold out, if not (people outside were asking for extra tickets to buy, so we guess it was sold out). Mostly 30 and 40 somethings all rocking out. Most fun.
They played a good mixture of old songs and new. They hit all of my favorites, "Lips like Sugar," "Bring On the Dancing Horses," "The Cutter," and "The Killing Moon."
I must say though, I'm really starting to feel my age. Next time I go to a show I'm going to have to bring ear plugs. My ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton all last night. And standing tightly packed with no room to really move also isn't as fun as it used to be. But hey. It was a good show and I had a lot of fun. Yippee!
Wow. I didn't know they were stil together. Thanks for the review.
I saw echo play when I was in high school. I used to save tickets from shows and saved those until recently when I cleared out my childhood bedroom in my parents house.
I know what you mean about feeling your age. I don't smash in with the crowd at shows anymore and got that same, "damn these speakers are loud" feeling at the last show I went to.
