Siouxsie And The Banshees - Dear Prudence (Live TOTP)

[yancybutler]

so...emotionless. no downing this group (i know they have a fanbase.) But really...I hope their own work is more passionate than this cover.

[vitaemecha]

@yancybutler you're missing the point and style of the band

[hudooguru]

Love both versions...this one is eerie...

[Kyd0x]

fucking murdered this beautiful song.

[HackerGuitarist]

sorry .. this is almost too robotic and lacking in emotion

[tiana1017]

i saw them in concert in the late 80's they were cool, i forgot who opened up for them though

[amdreh]

She looks like Sandman! (by Neil Gaiman)

[gothmate]

@amdreh it's Sandman who looks like her.

Besides, she was very close to Cure's Robert Smith, who were Morpheus himself. :)

[nick48823]

Love Bob Smith

[yancybutler]

...I watched this becuause someone said it was better than the Morissette version...All I'm hearing here is a girl with a weak voice singing kareoke.

[precinkt]

[Veigueta]

@yancybutler Eat comercial shit 

[yancybutler]

@Veigueta Really? I like tons of artist that are on indie labels- sorry though Talent is talent and Alanis knocks this out of the water.

sorry about that I think I was having a senior moment,course it's been around since the 60s my apologies. In the industrial Northern wasteland (backwoods ,think Southern Comfort the film not drink) Acid and such was usually confined to UMIST and theUni SU bars. Glue and solvents were not usually needed as employers didn't give a toss and most people breathed them 8 hours a day lol. Tuinol and valium also pretty sparse use. O r di d I just lead a sheltered life? H never saw it used.

@Protechflyer1 Drugs were a huge part of the scene in the south. We lost a lot of people to drugs. An old mate and I were chatting just recently, and we estimated that in every 30 from then, there is only about 4 or 5 people left. A torrid tale of drugs, suicide and as we get older, 'natural causes'. Perhaps it was healthier in the north.

[Dalmaik]

Better than the Beatles original. The sun is up, the sky is blue, its beautiful and so are you. x

[micositoo45]

robert smith looks so cute playing the guitar

[angeleyesamor]

@micositoo45 Yeah, that is so cool seeing him playing with Siouxsie! But he seems a bit bored...LOL

[symohn]

they killed this song!!!

[SuperBlindGuySteve]

Good thing, too. It sounds better dead

[ringspun01]

Whatever show this was one must've known about the acid in fans' veins!

[OrthopedicFantasies]

@ringspun01

Why do so many people associate beauty or anything different - with drugs?

[ringspun01]

@OrthopedicFantasies

The visuals is what me think that...and knowing what I myself was dropping at the time. Good time, good times.

[OrthopedicFantasies]

@ringspun01

I understand, but that's so sad. I hope that sometime you tried watching MTV without drugs.

[illhaveadouble]

@ringspun01 I dont know what was going on in the States, but in England it was acid and speed all the way. That's why now I cant remember anything that happened earlier than this morning! Good times though. I think,,,,!

[Protechflyer1]

@illhaveadouble Acccccciiiiiiddddddd ;-) Not in Siouxsie best period mate, hadn't been invented then, a bit of speed ,amphetamine, weed ,maybe but that was still pretty much underground, the majority of "us" were usually no more than weekend drinkers. Drug use recreationally has gone about 5 fold since those far off days, we didn't need anything more than a few pints and the music to get us off.

[illhaveadouble]

@Protechflyer1 Acid was definately a feature of the punk scene, and had been available since the 60's. We used to take it as microdots, but I remember a few people had it in liquid form. Obviously I have no way of knowing where you are from, but I was in London and the South East at the time (76 - early 80's), so perhaps it was a local thing. Also glue and solvents were popular, as were tunal, valium and when the buzz of that left us, heroin. I was always a speed and acid girl myself!

[siouxsio]

Classic of classic...

[Treblesa]

Yeah! :D
