Don't bother with new Banshees live CD

Posted by: Tim Jones on 21 May 2003

Doubt if many would be interested anyhow, but for those Siouxsie & the Banshees fans thinking that the new live CD might be a repeat of 1983's excellent 'Nocturne' - think again. It really, really sucks.

Hard to tell whether bad playing or bad engineering are to blame...

What's on it, and when was it recorded?

Kevin -

It's called "Seven Year Itch" and was recorded at the Shepherd's Bush Empire last (?) July.

It has surprising amounts of very early material on it, including "Metal Postcard" and "Jigsaw Feeling" (which is really why I bought it). But the recording is really muddy (I don't think I can blame my CDS2) adn the playing just sounds slack.
