Echo and the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (live on The Tube)

[phlser]

the highlands in 83 - they seemed so old and wise. now they look so young, fresh and brilliant. watching pete is so sad. what a fabulous band. U2 were never this good.

[ynotoman]

@phlser saw U2 at the Lyceum - and Bono was so fake UGH and at Friars Eco and Bunneymen were amazing

[Grouchyles]

Utterly sublime. The best band in the world.

[cicero5513]

My favorite version of Ocean rain on You Tube.

I saw Echo on a tour with New Order and Gene Loves Jezebel in Utah in the mid 80's. Good times.

[AtlantaHartsfield]

@cicero5513 I saw that tour in D.C. Great memories!

[TheRamExponention]

My Genaration when I was 25 years old !!!

[54spiritedwill54]

This is the band at their best.

[893261]

Esta era mi canciÓn favorita hace 20 años y ahora también .Eso significa que sigo vivo .

[jogger1976]

Four of the most talented musicians to come out of this rainy little island. Pete De Freitas = drumming legend.

[SparWidMe]

Haunting.

[losghost]

I saw these guys live in philly around 1985. They headlined with New Order and Gene Loves jezebel. That was probably the best concert I ever went to.

[SpicyMcHaggis69]

the Sugarcubes also played that concert at the Mann music center....great show

[Jesuskrishna]

1987 then. Saw that tour 5(or was it 6?) times.

But definitely 87.

[newinfrance2001]

echo at their absolute best ! i love this song !

[benfi4]

This song is so beatiful that bring me to tears

[googoobh]

For some reason this has always been one of my favorite "Echo" songs.

[AlfredNavarro]

If you like these guys, you like The Violet Burning.

[chitlun]

Quite simply one of THE best & most underrated bands ever... Nuff sed!!!

[g0thwitch]

24 years ago.......oh my goth im old..

[southerngooner]

[abrakabara]

Hauntingly beautiful melody

[idislikecrabs]

arcade fire...pay ur dues

[stolimonged]

Shame the pair cant's now deid

[kroiz]

This band has never gotten their due. Awesome. Side 2 of Ocean Rain is unbelievable.

[Jesuskrishna]

Side Two Of Ocean Rain is the Best four song sequence/Album Side/20 minutes of music EVER!

[paulmichaelwills]

Lovely song thanks for posting

[DeekayofLondon]

One of the most moving songs ever written.

[leathergirl67]

"Your port in my heavy storms harbours the blackest thoughts". My all-time fave Bunnymen song. How it failed to make it onto either of the 'Best of' compilations is baffling.

[jmiyazawa]

Agree totally. 24 years later, this is still one of my favorite albums of all time.

[petrusaloisius]

Because the best of is that commercial shit they always bring on that sort of albums. In this case Bring on the dancin horses or som.

[HryMuscle]

Ah... poor Pete de Freitas... RIP

[spasmpete]

was a massive fan years ago, and just check this out amazing eh!

[Babyhowdy233]

Absolutely one of THE BEST songs I've ever heard-would have to be one of the ten songs I'd take with me if stranded on that proverbial desert with nothing else to listen to! One of THE GREATEST BANDS EVER!!

[dizzypuppy]

That's exactly what I was going to say!!

[dodyroma]

u2 and bono riped this song off

[Babyhowdy233]

I agree 100%!

[pickypocky123]

i hate U2, bono is such a phony blegh =(~

[rminter44]

Umm you do know that is ian not Bono right?

[mjd775]

So so good!! Fooking brilliant!!

[GreenIdea]

Does he say "This is outta tune. I ain't gonna insult this guitar"?

[MadMooby]

Yes.

[daegrant]

Yes!

[ludusagathon99]

great post. albums worth of heart-tunes only smiths came close and that is being nice to mozza. fell in love, married, had kids to this lot. what about 'over the wall' live? thanks

[sevenseas71]

...I love this song! I joined the merchant marines 17 years ago and went to sea with their music. I remember recording my vinyl to TDK cassettes before my first trip out to sea. I still have it all.

[artmaniac53]

What a music!Great band and Ian...

[chrisedelic77]

One of my all time faves, THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE's!­!

[bbrta]

why are not so popular like others than sing pure shit?..Echo and the bunnymen is a great great band..

[coconutsboi]

Though I have listened to The Killing Moon more times than any other song ever (sentimental value), this is by far my favorite song. Echo at their very best...I miss the 80's...;o(

[jplimao]

Great song!

[JamesAMills]

This is my favorite Echo song.

[motrcycleboy]

One of the Bunnymen's best songs. Totally sublime and inspired. Never seen this footage before. Thanks!

[liamdaman]

going to see the boys in the Lpool 2morrow 15122006 - can't wait! 23 years as a fan some 70+ Gigs done and still love every minute of the older crooner! THE GREATEST BAND EVER! BOLD(yes) But yes so is MAC and thats always worked in life! Great Vid.

[markxaviermurray]

could be what you're hoping for. saw them 6 yrs ago in Stockholm. shitty club, but awesome sound. his voice was rough at times, but then they did this song as a last encore...and actually pulled off the refrain at the end like 20 yrs ago! the hair raised on my neck...i thought, my god he's going to hurt himself....it was truly amazing, like he wanted to say that he could still do it

[WesFanMan]

This is the band at their best.
