I recorded this on my VCR on August 26, 1997 - Echo & The Bunnymen played "I Want To Be There When You Come" from their brand new Evergreen album, on LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN.

@@OccamsEraserhead I saw E&B in Boston, August 1984. My girl and another friend went backstage so I waited outside in the alley breathing the exhaust fumes of their big truck worrying why she was taking so long. Will came outside and stood next to me. I said "Good show, Will. " He said, "Thank ya" in his thick Liverpool accent. I asked if he saw a little bleached blonde and a dark haired girl, The blonde, my girl, was in love with Ian. He said he had not. I saw Pete came outside and riding his bicycle into the Boston midnite and I thought that was pretty dangerous. Then I saw Ian come out with his coat on his shoulders and none of "my girls." I went back to the car and they were there with the road manager and went to a club with him and spent the night in his hotel. Fun, huh? Anyway, interested to hear your stories about the band!

I met Ian and Will back in early 1996 when they showed up at Bionic Records in Huntington Beach California and signed autographs and played a song for their recent project ElectraFixion. They played “Just a Touch Away”. So imagine my glee when this album came out a little over a year later and it was on that album.
