[bardyhop2]

暴動寸前の御堂会館大阪公演...。警備員をマイクスタンドでな­ぐるイアン...、ショートギリギリのカッター！。懐かしきは８­０'Ｓのワイルドウエスト...(ToT)。

[jimthefin]

Happy Anniversary Crystal Day - good memories, the Georges Hall was literally bouncing up and down... "Fyffes bananas"... sheer wit. Hope and pray the rest of this gig didnt end up on the cutting room floor and we`ll see the whole thing one day.

[chalklava]

Yeah, when he pointed into the audience during the "light my fire" part....it's a little known fact that it was me he was pointing at. True story. lol...I wish.

[Hemulen40]

Sweet jam !

[exiledwool]

Awesome - loved the Bunnymen as a young lad in the late 70's early 80's

[DianaDiazSinger]

Sounds nothing like LA Woman. The only similarity between Jim Morrison and Ian McCulloch was that Doors tunes were in an easy range for Ian, so he sang them. Ian had one of the best voices in rock at this time. Ever. Period. But musically, totally different tonalities and writing styles.

[etienne1234567]

great band, though this is pure LA Woman

[tinkles30]

Good ear -- very much Doors, though I'd liken it more to Take it Easy from the Doors debut.

[liverpoolpictorial]

They should have blew U2 out of the water in the 80s.

[LondonCalling924]

Amen. lol

[DianaDiazSinger]

AGREED!!!

[earthangel50]

I was there.....they were fantastic. xx

[bunbunnies]

can any any one tell what effects and shit

that wills using on his guitar.

like in general not just in this song

it would be a great help cheers

[alfredjames123]

I think he mostly uses compression and delay pedals. I don't know though. That man can make a guitar sound like anything.

[KidA270]

Some Delays And chorus i think, ( i think analog delays will get you closer to his sound, but they are more expensive so...)

[BobThePaperclip]

just as good live as on the cd!!!!

[punki7793]

great!!

[stardanmy]

man these guys are great!!, the guitar in this song reminds me of gang of four

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

good ear

[jangenk]

fantastic live version... sounds a bit like a punky doors... but then again bunny style.

[BobThePaperclip]

that may have been because they started singing some doors in the middle :P

[JDA315]

the segue into light my fire was electrifying

[TippieOh2]

Cheers DrCheese I used to have the crystal day video taped from channel 4 `82 or `83 I think

would love to get it again if anyone could help?

[Xiroi87]

Me too!

[TippieOh2]

Cheers DrCheese used to have the whole crystal

day stuff on video from channel 4 and the bananas...would kill to get it all again..wink wink..£££

[adevezar]

The references to Suzan from leonard Cohen don't make that song great, what makes this song great is that no one want to listen.

[adevezar]

What happen to that band?

They were so great.

I remember that my first LP i bought was Heaven up Here.

today they are so obnoxious.

Crocodiles is not a great song. But, best then any all 2008 songs.

To me, i said to me.

I said to me.

[Xiroi87]

EATB obnoxious? Come one! Listen again.

[adevezar]

I listened.

What happened to this so great band?

It was my question.

You didn't answer.

By the way.

[Xiroi87]

Apparently you just don't get it.

[teenagelobotomy14]

i don't really like their newer stuff either. their first four albums are great though.

[adevezar]

as Xiroi8 said their first albuns are great. 4 Lp's to me. Since that they lost their way.

May be they found new entertainments.

I don't know.

[mindlagoon]

Thanks for posting the Crystal Day stuff DrCheese. Very much appreciated.

[ljpw93]

the BEST band in the world!!!!

[jogger1976]

Wow! Sounds like The Doors on steroids. There's some serious musicianship here.

[spiderdbite]

whatever happned to Les Pattison ?

[asdffd]

I don't know but I used to have my hair like his. Thought I was the shit.

[DianaDiazSinger]

Les is the shit. He now plays with a band called Wild Swans. Look them up.

[exiledwool]

@DianaDiazSinger

Wild Swans where around in the 80's I've an album of theirs somewhere

[Guslibs]

Best group ever!!

[BlueLotus1965]

Remember having this on Cassette Tape.

Wow.
