Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon, live at The OGWT

[@adilsonamaury]

Perfect ..beautiful..mesmo sendo alvivo. O som é perfeito e a magica continua

[@monkeyrc7541]

Brilliant! You can feel every drumbeat and every guitar chord, it is that amazing. Can’t believe i only found this is 2021. British bands from the 80’s are truly the best!

[@zakc7396]

One of the best performances ever caught on film. Holy shit

[@hockeyteeth]

This is a perfect video for learning to cover this song. My band is doing it, and boy oh boy, the drumming technique here is gold! Wonderful song!

[@gmansi]

@@hockeyteeth "the drumming technique here is gold" Can you explain why?

[@hockeyteeth]

@@gmansi Because it sounds exactly like the record version and the brushes make for the extra beats that flow perfectly. Just my opinion.

[@gmansi]

@@hockeyteeth Thanks a lot.

[@andrewkeen7828]

No question, this is outstanding. Great rhythm section, Will and Ian adding finessy

[@xneapolisx]

This is AMAZING. When bands actually knew how to play instruments and sounded the same on the stage as they did in the studio. Love the 80s!!! This is the best version of this song. ❤❤❤

[@frankvanhal8623]

What a great recording. Saw them live several times but this perfomance is legendary. Great bands in the eighties (sisters, cure, siouxsie, joy division, bauhaus, cocteau twins and echo)

[@adamturner1563]

Always be in love with the original version but this is astonishing live.

Have you ever watched something hundreds of time but you're still like, "shit that was good"?

[@ripplebear]

Hundreds and thousands of times ;)

[@shanelizard1148]

I listened to this exact video in 2010 after talking to what would be my first boyfriend for the first time. Can’t believe it’s still up

[@mikeh5431]

utterly superb

[@johnnyalonso]

i have watched this video at least 100 times. I love this version so much. I just wish the vid had the entire song instead of getting cut off before the end. thank you for sharing this

[@rogermurray8553]

Certainly one of the two or three greatest songs to come out of that golden age of British music and as far as I'm concerned, a track that is easily the equal of anything their crosstown rivals from another era, The Beatles, ever produced. Truly inspired piece of music!

[@Portekberm]

It was actually inspired ✝️

[@nathanielmead]

Possibly my favourite live version of this song

[@Mssayito]

This was recorded in the living room of a house the band owned in liverpool

It was James.. and l was the Soundrecordist !! Rupert Murray.... and Martin Lightning shot it !

[@DanielAquarian]

Wow people could afford houses back then?

Are you sure about this? I think this may have been from a rehearsal at Maida Vale BBC studios, possibly for a Peel session.

[@carloscasillero4422]

Definitely whistle test! I've got it on vhs I recorded anything and everything they appeared on!

Why is this not on stranger things!?

[@SlowDIIV]

I think because it was on Donnie Darko before. Using this song in the Stranger Things soundtrack would be too obvious and derivative (IMHO).

[@Musicore08]

Good point

were old grey whistle test performances generally lip-synched?
