Siouxsie And The Banshees - Fireworks (Top of the Pops 1982)

[@MelTibson]

Her outfit is incredible

[@halloweenjack2562]

Spectacularly brilliant transition track between Juju and Dreamhouse. ❤

[@matthewbeumer3168]

The dark soul of pop on display here the Banshees looked so strange and alluring yet her look was one that inspired the generation of 76. John the guitarist at the time was one of the most brilliant guitarists of his generation RIP.

I bought this single in 1982 Still play it, still love it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@drstevie]

So GOOD. Amazing guitarist...R.I.P. John.

[@SuperBroonie]

Genius

[@patricktimothy8354]

R.I.P. John Mcgeoch. And R.I.P. his contemporary/original PIL guitarist Keith Levine. The Page and Hendrix of post punk.

[@adr1ew]

She's absolutely lovely

[@berlinsneakerz]

Budgie looks great here!

[@MercurialSilence]

Siouxsie always had the best outfits.

[@brianmorecombe2726]

She`d have looked even better without them on

[@ziggypop8106]

Fantastic, original, creative unique

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

She was the epitome of image to match her performances. No coincidence that the likes of Madonna and Gaga go all-out in much the same way. Fact is Siouxsie was already there and the ORIGINAL only to be copied by those who get the credit and plaudits 😢

[@astra-rb6sz]

@@andrewphippsphillips1455Siouxsie is the best of the lot .No comparison at all.

[@catherinenelson5576]

My favourite band saw them loads of times the good timesx

[@patricklee6066]

This fab group occupied a universe all of their own,where the only woman was a sex clad spiky hair goddess and all the men wore make up.God I miss this band.

[@marcusburrows270]

I saw this episode of Top of the pops as a kid and rushed out the next day to buy the Fireworks gatefold 7" single. My first ever Siouxsie purchase. I'd soon own their entire back catalogue & buy every new release upon its release date. This Fireworks appearance is the origin of my lifelong Sioux obsession. They almost lost me with their Dear Prudence cover. I couldn't stand that.

[@giovanniramos7197]

shes still a godess

[@andrew1598]

She's a legend and that's it

[@eenandereplaneet]

Another epic performance by Siouxsie and the Banshees....they don't make them like that anymore

[@pressureworks]

Very embarrassing. It's Memorex.

[@davidgoodsell6342]

Fabulous Performance.

[@gregoriosancha8402]

DIVINE DIVA!! 😍🥰🥰

[@javierl994]

1:15 That gothic/post punk sound in the guitar is perfect

[@dominica4799]

Isn't she just awesome

[@Chazal-k6t]

I love her turkey feathers earrings 💕

[@billwaller4993]

I think Siouxsie may still have that blue guitar..?

[@ariadnimusa4036]

have seen her live, back in the old good new wave music days ....Goddess....I bow .

[@lunahlulah6772]

such a shame mcgeoch left. their later stuff was good but he was untouchable.

[@mariaantonellazuccarello2384]

Fortissima e unica

[@David-h4z2s]

What a lady 🌠💨🔥🖤

[@SkeeterNYC]

SATB - British Post Punk Pyschedia at it's finest.

[@brdnrd]

Clearly pre-recorded but still a powerful song.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

Everything on top of the pops, ever , is pre recorded.

[@ianburroughs2712]

Still give the 12 inch a spin ❤

[@wescooley34]

Ultimate

[@rosioliverfr]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@bertsbooks2505]

Jeez, McGeoch must have had days left in the band at this point?

[@alanfox7312]

Siouxsie looks like she been in the pissing rain 🌧

[@EricandDish]

Siouxsie breaks out the leather pants, lace gloves*, and bear-fur earrings🤩. *hey, isn't this where Stevie Nicks got the song title of "Leather and Lace"?

[@roguemoon4599]

5 dislikes? Must be deaf!

[@celticwarrior1365]

What is Severin all about?

[@jimbesh8184]

Even mentioning Clash in this thread is an insult. Siouxsie had everything. They didn't do political BS because that shite doesnt even matter to real people in the long term. Clash are SO dated and irrelevant. Siouxsie is eternal.

[@kalevala29]

they started at the same time but their is no comparison. the Banshees were exotic, dark and mysterious. the Clash appealed to a different sort of music lover. both great bands though.

[@pressureworks]

Just not nice seeing them pretend to be playing.

[@nixsyn5110]

fucking awful

[@oskarklang8616]

Nyx Lorry fuck off then!

[@francescxavierbulto9848]

You haven’t the first clue about quality post punk music. Fucking whopper.
