Siouxsie And The Banshees - Spellbound (1981) Köln, Germany

[@WalterSobchak1000]

Mcgeoch created magic on the guitar, one of the best ever

[@bluecat798]

John McGeoch was the best guitarist the Banshees ever had. His playing was mesmerising. I had the album Juju back then and was blown away!

[@gmantramp404]

Yeah but The Banshees were musically ahead of their time pre John McGeoch rip.🤘

[@gdprice79]

Heck yeah the dude is insane.

[@carlosdelatorre5498]

Like totally!

[@cordial]

He was one of the best guitarists anyone had.

[@zippymufo9765]

John McGeoch passed way too early

[@SebastianRodriguez-cq3qu]

John Mcgeoch, the magic wand of the eighties. Budgie is, along with S. Morris of NO, one of the most sorely underrated drummers ever. Siouxsie and the Banshees was a waterfall of talent.

[@rawheadrex]

The guy on the guitar is fabulous

[@ravingmavis5801]

John McGeoch ❤ Now sadly passed. You are right he was absolutely an amazing talent we all miss him hugely thank goodness he has left a stunning legacy

[@klaudijavorih5809]

Best performance of Spelllbound I've ever heard

[@Chasb001]

Yep. pretty close to what it sounded like, when I saw them live that same year. McGeoch and Budgie were different class. Best live band I have ever seen.

[@robertlockwood4793]

All 4 of them knocking the fuck out of it !

[@lovelydonkey]

They were at their absolute peak with that line up. Saw them live every year from '78 - 82. McGeogh was perfect in the Banshees.

[@brendan1522]

My favourite guitarist of all time he just had something else that nobody could match. Taken way way too soon. RIP John

[@FromaTwistedMind]

Totally agree with you. McGeoch was bloody awesome.

[@MultiverseAndy]

100% He brought high agressive energy, riff machine.

[@missbianco2371]

Agreed and badly missed ❤️🙏

[@gruesometwosome6098]

Your spot on there..... But l did enjoy Robert Smith stepping in 😎

[@darrendix5163]

Such powerful live performers! Spellbound is an understatement. In my opinion, nobody else from the movement in England at that time had a better live presence.

[@andook]

Killing Joke were a fucking awesome live band around this time too.

[@brendan1522]

Talent to burn, what an extraordinary band, best ever Banshees line up, McGeoch is different class.

[@iamtheeggman2026]

they are playing so tight here fantastic.

[@roberthamilton8834]

absolute fantastic quartet .siouxsie mcgeoch severin budgie. all top class.

[@StevenCormack-sk2vc]

How they didn't rule the world at that time is beyond me ,john mcgeoch was a genius

[@gissellest333]

I can’t believe this song is from 1981, song was absolutely ahead of its time. Love this band.

[@DiceBaseballDigest]

Way way way ahead of their time. I appreciate it more than ever.

[@FromaTwistedMind]

She's still the most beautiful iconic most individual original kooky female vocalist out there. Love her.

[@JoshtheSkeleton]

When I think kooky I think Nina Hagen but that is just me.

[@zakkholguin3942]

[@c.anderson3444]

Garbage 1996 on Saturday Night Special doing Only Happy When it Rains. Good god if Shirley isnt the most perfect female and female vocalist of that time then I don't know anything at all. Link below or do the search in you tube if you prefer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWUhYuIoK2shac

[@richardplume3212]

Im lovin it like that

[@SuperIrishmark]

Listen to McGeoch's guitar, it's fucking fantastic!

[@scottherrmann1358]

At 2:26 the sound of Severin's bass with McGeoch's guitar they truly were at their very best.

[@bluecat798]

RIP John ❤ I loved the band Magazine that he was in before the Banshees and again, it was McGeoch's guitar playing that caught my attention!

[@DiceBaseballDigest]

Genius!

[@dominica4799]

Such an amazing voice. So sad I never got to see them

[@frannieo1707]

Immortal performance.

[@ummherekittykitty6988]

they are absolutely slaying in this concert. ❤

[@jameslanders1393]

McGeogh sounds and looks CAF making those sounds without moving his fingers 🙂

[@ChristisSaviour]

Still gives me goose bumps. Miss you John

[@peterduffy1917]

The absolute definition of a band.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

They're all their own experience entity, really.

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

The drums are intense and tribal ... what a performance!!

[@camronbay1]

The drummer and the rest of the whole band they just have a mesmerizing sound.

[@Tackhead100]

Budgie is at the top of his game here…the drumming propels this song

[@DiceBaseballDigest]

Powerful Band with an amazing a unique guitar sound.

[@r.l.seiber3879]

Great form! Her vocals are excellent here, good sound mix too.

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

I love McGeoch but for fuck sake i wish people would give more credit to Budgie & Severin who are just as amazing.

[@salsabil44]

I agree that Budgie and Severin were also fantastic, but you cannot deny that this song and the album Juju - which I consider to be their finest - were highlighted by McGeoch´s exceptional guitar playing.

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

@@salsabil44 I do agree but i also believe Scream is one of the greatest punk albums ever and that was with John McKay on guitar and Kenny Morris on drums!!

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

I think JM being drafted in & his work rate (which looks effortless when you watch him , like he was on tickover) brings out the very best of Budgie and Sev. They realise he's THAT good that they have to put in a further 25-30% on top of their usual contribution

[@salsabil44]

One of the best videos of this song and this band on the internet. Great guitar makes this song and the fantastic album Juju.

[@sharktone44]

That hip shake at 1:34. Her moves entrance me!

[@LoudProudNPunk1]

Wow... I forgot what a great band they are/were, Haven't listened to them in years. What a time that must have been, too bad i was only one year old during that show.

[@OscarRLuna]

John McGeoch rules! 🎸

[@goat9499]

Every element is perfection in this.

[@formisfunction1861]

McGeoch is magnificent!

[@DiceBaseballDigest]

Beyond! The three albums he performed on were magnificent!

[@nickdawes8712]

Simply stunning,best version of spellbound and siouxsie is gorgeous

John McGeoch, absolute legend.

[@StoatOnToast]

Siouxie was there first. Keep going Florence, one day you'll get there...

[@poppinace1587]

It's... Just... The best song ever!! 👌

[@SL-ze6su]

John Mcgeogh

[@russkkay]

Creativity crafted by a brilliant lead guitarist! He made the band what they are! Sadly creativity ultimately is eventually consumed! His time was his time,still sadly missed though!

[@nylonnerves8422]

While McGeoch lineup was fantastic they made great songs before him and afterwards. I think this was the peak of their career but there's so much awesome stuff where John didn't even play.

[@ryanleach2174]

@@nylonnerves8422, absolutely -- great songs before and after. But I agree -- this was their peak. There was only one McGeoch.

Nice just noticed Budgie played it different then what I thought it was. So basically for 40 years I’ve been playing it wrong🤔or was I there’s a vid where he did exactly what I thought was right. The chugga chuck, chugga chuck chuk
