Cranes has to be my all-time favorite band (please don't call them "The" Cranes).
They Hail from Portsmouth, England and take their name from the huge dock cranes which dominate the horizon. Although originally formed in the 80's they met with their greatest successes in the 90's. The band did have a reputation for tech/equipment problems at their shows, and I've witnessed it as well, but they never failed to hold the crowd in awe. A GREAT band to see live!
The best show for me was their performance at the 9:30 club in Washington D.C. (what a great venue!) during their tour in 1993 to promote the "Forever" CD, Jim, Alison and the boys were at their peak (no equipment failures either!).
Hope you enjoy these posts (re-posts), and keep buying their CD's (residuals are a wonderful thing!) They gave their best, I'd love to see them get a little back for their efforts!

This was the first thing I ever saw or heard from the Cranes and was instantly in love. This song hasn't aged a bit. Just perfection in every way. Might even go so far as to call it my favorite Cranes song of all time.
Saw them live in 92 Helsinki concert when they were warm up band for the Cure, then a few years ago in Tampere where they did a little gig.
Thanks for putting this video up here!

I've loved the dark and brooding even before the Patty Smith group first made the scene. A lot of "Goth" type bands around since then, but few have had that special "something" that really, really clicks. For me Cranes stood head and shoulders above the rest! (not that other bands aren't really great too!) Thanks for viewing and for the + comment.
