you know,it takes very special performer to get hit by a wad of spit from the audience(not mention continuing to dodge it all throughout)and still play one's heart out. how many vapid self-obsessed performers do you see today that would ever do that? they'd all probably run off the stage weeping *lol*
I profusely thank my mom for getting me into Siouxsie. She was a fan back then. Looked like her too. Wish I could'a been around back then, I don't like anything that's going on now.
@KLJ364 !!! there is no more punk-rock!! punk rock is dead!!! it died on the 80's....... now is a bunch of kids trying to be bad calling themselfs punks!!! bunch of gays! the music that the make today is not even punk!!!!
the tshirt siouxsie is wearing is the one steve jones wore on the bill grundy show. this is in support of the clash isnt it. love this banshees song and bad shape os great aswell
In their early days,when asked about her suggestive clothes.she said "it's to show erogenous zones are overrated and tits are no big deal".God,what a woman.
The mohawk was a native-indian hairstyle way before it was a "punk" hair style, whether or not "punks" wore them in the 70s or early 80s.................
This is probably my favorite siouxsie song but after working about 7 of her concerts I have one thing to say - Great music but she just isn't a very nice person. Still the best artist of the 80's, sorry Madonna!
This is just brilliant, my all time favourite song. Now why was this never released officially? A going out song for a teenage goth trannie to get ready to. Perfect! Thanks for putting this one up!
this shows the energy/passion siouxsie & co had, im glad i was young then & there. not today with processed manufactured sounds. wheres musics energy gone ????
Boy, the Bowie influence is really strong in this one.
Thank God for YouTube. Now all you kids can see what us old Punks (I'm 48 - a year and a half younger than Siouxsie and exactly 6 months older than Robert Smith, for comparison) are talking about when we bitch and moan about how Your Generation doesn't have any bands that compare to Ours ;)

There's a demo (it's about as clear and legit as you'll find) on the 2 disc edition of The Scream.

I bought it on bootlegs as it was never released by Polydor. I *believe* you might find it amongst the Peel Session recordings.

Unfotunately not, the Riverside session is the only one available I believe. That's on The Scream (Deluxe Edition)

I don't know about Mick Hucknall, but that looks like a young Gary Lineker telling the camera to "f*ck off" after about two minutes.
Is it him I wonder? Probably not I suppose.

The Sex Pistols did influence the formation of The Banshees since Siouxsie was a devote follower of Sex Pistols.
