Siouxsie & The Banshees Jigsaw Feeling (Old Grey Whistle Test 7/11/1978)

[millsy2010]

The Scream was an album that as a 12-year old I could lose myelf in over and over again. There is still something utterly intangible about Siouxsie which is possibly what gives her and the band an eternal quality. I recently gave my cd copy of the album a spin and was amazed to realise I could remember virtually all the words to this song after only perhaps having heard it once since 1980!

Great album, great band!

This clip is almost too good for words. Only saw them once. On the "Dreamhouse" tour in Edinburgh 82 with Robert Smith on guitar. They were plugging, in my opinion, an average album. Not a patch on this early stuff, or my fave, 81s, "Juju".....

@montyoneify Saw them on that tour at the Montford hall, John McKay and Kenny Morris still with them - outstandin gig - best one was on Erics in Liverpool under a false name but everyone knew it was the Banshees who were playin

I became a Banshees fan when the Peepshow album came out. First thing on my list was to go to the beginning and buy The Scream next. "Jigsaw Feeling" struck me as perhaps the most powerful song on the whole album. I will always love it and The Scream. John McKay is tied with John McGeoch as my favorite Banshees guitarists.

Great stuff..First saw them in 1981 at the top rank in Birmingham.

Feel sorry for the kids of today.rap crap and talent show winners is all they've got!

@baggies5468 That's true ,but, there is good stuff now. You just have to turn your regular TV and radio off and look online for it. One fantastic station called BBC 6Music plays excellent stuff old and new.

The Best Song/Lyric Ever !!! !!! AMAZING

[derektheburster]

Never thought I would be the first to comment on this incredible song. I remember seeing them on TV, around this date, & they were electrifying. Her voice is unique, and you can see how beautiful she is (still is!). The drummer too is spot on, never misses a beat, & for me, was the best to come out of the post-punk movement. A great, great song. But sad nobody else thinks they are worthy of comment, very sad. Today's rap/dance sounds are insignificant compared to this, puerile nonsense.
