Siouxsie and the Banshees - Switch - Live 1981

[@philiptaylor2271]

What a band, what a singer. This is utterly magnificent. A word for Budgie on drums - amazing.

[@DiceBaseballDigest]

McGeoch is genius.

[@capenafuerte]

Excellent rock group. Unsurpassed even after 20 years.

[@65BigNorm]

You can add another 15 years to that now!

[@alisout08]

32 years later this song still fucking kicks ass!

[@jerewind]

Admirable guitarist (John McGeoch) wonderful drummer (Budgie). One of best the periods of the group. Thank you !

[@djhose]

Gergoues! Hypnotic voice! Great goth band!!!

[@amaliagrassi6870]

A vocal so unique and powerful. Haunting.

[@carriersignal]

Much respect John. You will be missed!

[@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla]

OMG I just love this song! One of my favorites!! =)

[@MrAlgoto]

[@SkeeterNYC]

Patti, Debbie, Joan, Chrissie, Siouxsie, Nina, Lene, Kate, Ari, Exene and Lydia. The definitive Punk era chicks.

[@pressureworks]

Also: Kim, Penelope, Poly, & Cosi.

[@solwolfpunk]

This is the best performance of this particular song that I have so far seen.

[@ChelseaGrin8]

My heart beats to the rhythm of the drums..

[@TheGberlanga]

just listened to "pulled to bits" cover by The Mars Volta and i cant stop listening to Siouxsie & The Banshees !!

[@warminator1091]

Siouxsies voice at its very best i must say..

[@nicholasmiller872]

Love you always my queen Siouxsie ❤️❤️❤️💋💋

[@jesus3373]

This a top live version. Seen them at the manchester apollo on the tour when they split up and the cure were supporting em. R.Smith took over.

[@lucia-madridnishinojurado]

Happy birthday Siouxsie

[@hobbit151]

They were da bomb during this time ohh yeahhh!!

[@TraddyCathy]

I agree that this version sits better with me as well, McCay was very unique in style, and very good live, but McGeoch had a way of improvising on stage in a manner that few can. His rifts with Armory Show and especially PIL exhibit a high degree of flexibility. Great to see thesew old clips, wish more were available.

[@67Alberto]

Uno de los primeros temas con los que conocí Siouxsie and the Banshees. Perfecto : )

[@pumaseventysix]

Eccezionali, questo brano cavalcherà i secoli!

[@china027]

Bravo! Juju tour was one of the best!

[@lycia69]

Cool! My kids are that age and I play the Banshees all the time...

[@cherylchaison5085]

Fantastic siouxsie

[@5050TM]

You're doing them a great justice. I grew up listening to U2. I wish my parents had played the banshees, but I think they were too dark for them to handle : )

[@johnkav101]

@ Kimberly They don't come along often, numero unos, do they. She is a treasure.

[@diskochimp]

What. A. Song.

[@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla]

Happy Birthday darling, I hope you've enjoyed it

[@rjart4]

Saw the JU JU tour in Cardiff Sophia Gardens I was 17 apart from the wanker skin heads it was brilliant!

[@dominica4799]

So underrated

[@AKBrechin]

Charming!

[@julosx]

Such a great song from such a great band, one of my 3 fave ones from them. It's such a pity they blanded down with 1988's "Peepshow", I can remember how disappointed I was then, my copy nearly fell off my hands. Happily, that year, Lush took over from the Banshees.

[@zabpatriot]

ooooooo siouxi the perfect woman

[@LightFromADeadStar]

they werew never the same without John

[@variationss]

why so perfect????

[@josefibanez4188]

mola !

[@alexd2010]

I'd rather own this on DVD than Nocturne! Not that I don't enjoy Nocturne, but I prefer McGeoch over Smith.

[@mashwind1]

geil ..........

[@jeankuldieu5551]

Oh - LA Très Féline félonne !...

[@losnarcoticos]

Actually, there's a beat that he constantly does on Juju. I don't know what it's called and I don't want to know either cause I'm not a musician. Notice the floor tom and the snare, sometimes he changes the timing or adds toms and cymbals. I love that beat. I must admit I use it a lot too and he's a big influence.

[@solwolfpunk]

sooo English! "Terrible I expect." Love the Britts always.

[@siouxbansheerotten1230]

I agree John McGeogh was the greatest guitarist EVER but John McKay had that unique sound he was once called the sound of The Banshees if you didnt already know.

[@damirpilic4632]

APSOLUTNI PUNK HIT IZ 1978!!!

[@NewPaltzIndie]

what a woman, nothing like lady goo gah

[@siouxbansheerotten1230]

I guessed you would know! Yes I agree with you John McGeogh played it his way which was the best for me anyway but I know what you mean regarding John McKay's totally unique sound on the material he worked on during his time with them. I think that Kenny Morris was a unique drummer as well but I prefer Budgie as the drummer so much power and energy Morris had a sort of regimented style of drumming I think.

[@jorel6540]

Simple, are you Lizzette A as well? You know alot about the group (The Banshees).

[@BertrandDAquitaine]

Can't get out of mode since mode was always beside the baskets !

[@damirpilic4632]

better sound (guitar) then nocturno

[@65BigNorm]

Cos McGeoch was playing here and not Smith

[@Khultan]

That guitarist is dead. : (

[@losnarcoticos]

She says something in German I believe. Does anybody know what she says?

[@judithbell6937]

Okay, I know this is literally a decade-old comment, but in the off-chance someone's scrolling through the comments, might as well answer. It sounds to me like "durch Lautsprecher" roughly meaning "through loudspeaker". I get the impression that she's not overly happy with the audio visuals on this concert. Certainly the recording quality doesn't seem to be quite on a par with Nocturne.
