To be honest I did not put these videos up to start a slanging match - it puts me off uploading more, of which I have many rare and in some cases hardly ever seen videos. Who cares if you met Siouxsie and Budgie - I met the whole band repeatedly in the 70s and 80s but see no reason to use it as an "Im better and a bigger fan than you" argument. I feel like pulling the videos but I wont as that would be unfair to those who know how to act rationally.

Yeah! Another vid posting that I've never seen. So much cooler that having the 'Arabian Knights' or 'Cities In Dust', etc. vids on here 50 times. This is a great one. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments everyone. This is one of my favourite Banshees tracks as well and as you say SkeeterNYC a refreshing change from the usual Siouxsie uploads - great as they may be.

@bakshay I was at that Country Club Gof4 show too. I saw them a bunch of times back then ... 1st L.A. gig was opening for Buzzcocks at the Santa Monica Civic 9/12/1979 ... opening for Iggy Pop there as well 11/11/1980 ... Perkins Palace 7/15/1981 ... The Country Club 9/10/1982 (with R.E.M. opening) ... at The Palace around that same time ... etc. I also know they played at The Starwood as well (5/20/1980 and 5/21/1980) w/ The Plugz, but I didn't go (D'oh!). Thank God for saved ticket stubs!!

@RiotNrrrdUTube ..ganjafied memories I guess..the country club WAS in the Valley..I think I saw gang of 4 there..maybe the plugz opening? sheesh

I do recall Go4 at the country club and Magic Mountain opening for Flock of Seagulls..or else I have totally lost my mind. You seem to have a grip on dates and places Cheers!

@MrRaffles Do you have the whole Folllies [sic] tape? I would love to see the whole thing but can't find it online anywhere ...

[RiotNrrrdUTube]

@bakshay You must've gone to one of the 2nd/late shows at the Whisky. I went all 3 nights (1st shows the first 2 nights, only show the 3rd night) and they didn't play this in any of the 3 sets I saw.

Perkins isn't in the Valley btw it was in Pasadena! That show was 10/14/1981. Too bad Sioux got laryngitis and they cancelled the next night's show at The Country Club ...

Thanks for the upload..saw them at the Whiskey A-Go-Go and again at some place int he Valley --Perkins Palace! Yes in 80 or 81.. They opened with this at one of the whiskey shows and I wlll never forget it. Thye werent the best technical punk (but who the f was... no need) but they captivated..it was gutsy performance art that rocked!

@MrRaffles Please don't delete the videos! Ignore the fools. Thank you for posting it. I love Siouxsie & TB, and it's great to see old footage of theirs.

The quality of the video is not important. This song is one of my favourites, sends a shiver down my spine. Just awesome!!!
