Siouxsie - Hong Kong Garden 4 may 2023 Amsterdam Paradiso

[@julianhermanubis6800]

Comparing 1978 Siouxsie and 2023 Siouxsie is pointless. She's 65 years old and is doing a good job for her age. I'd like to see any of the trolls perform anything for a large audience and not get booed off stage at the same age.

[@cultmamacultmama3571]

Although she is my favourite singer of all times and always has been - I think it is sad. At 63, she really should be in a place (both mentally and financially) where she no longer needs to perform concerts like this and put herself through this (which you can tell is really tough for her - she almost looks in pain). You just cannot shake off the impression she is doing this out of some terrible necessity, and that makes me sad. I am always happy to see her - but this is a pure nostalgia trip, noone can seriously claim these are good concerts or quality performances.

[@julianhermanubis6800]

@@cultmamacultmama3571 I am not sure why she decided to tour again. She could have just been bored sitting at home: if you've been a performer most of your life, it may be incredibly dull not having that adrenaline rush of facing an audience. Likewise, I hope it's not out of financial necessity. As for myself, I think aging is tough, especially when you were kind of rough on yourself during youth, so I admire someone for fighting off their limitations and making a valiant effort. Honesty, I don't think she's terrible here, and I am willing to make allowances. I just don't expect the same thing from a senior citizen as I would have from a 20-year-old.

[@fluidalchemist68]

@@julianhermanubis6800 yes the curse of youth, never learning about consequences until it's too late. takes a lot of courage though. would be nice to have her on the curious creatures podcast, if only.

John Cale is 80, he is not re-hashing the Velvets, but making interesting new music.

[@julianhermanubis6800]

@@jez2466 Meanwhile, Lou Reed is still dead, and John Lydon is doing a Sex Pistols nostalgia tour this summer. Getting to your 70s or 80s and having the same creativity as when you were young isn't easy.

[@darrenthomas7579]

To be honest she would not give a f..k what the keyboard warriors think,give a younger generation a chance to see her gigs we all were not down the Kings Road in 76

[@waynespencer3036]

Thank you so much for this. One of my favourite songs of all time. I bought it on first release when I was 11 years old in 1978, just before I started secondary school here in UK (and had the cane many times there). And now suddenly here we are in 2023. I'm 56. And Siouxsie is back. So happy to see her back on stage, and very much looking forward to seeing her later this year. I first saw her live in 1984 here in my home city of Leicester. What a legend she is and always will be.

[@Yorksbloke]

I was a steward at the Reading Rock Festival in 1978 (the first punk one) when John Peel gave it the first ever airing. Siouxsie had been without a record label for some time so we all heard it then.

[@waynespencer3036]

@@Yorksbloke That's brilliant that you were at Reading 78. Very famous event. And to hear the first play of Hong Kong Garden makes it even more special.

I think siouxsie is on top of game here. I think her voice is as good as always. I think she uses the stage really well. I love her dancing! Very siousie! She seems warmer towards the audience! I love that and I love her and the banshees ❤

[@mzoesp]

Voice is still good but can’t say it’s as good as it was in her hey day, and that’s totally ok.

[@65BigNorm]

I reckon her voice sounds better the last couple of years than it did 10 years ago. You can't expect it to ne like it was in her 20s but great she's still touring.

[@nickmckeown930]

Saw the Banshees live a lot between 78 and 81 and they were a class act. I can't compare this to back then and it would be stupid to do so. It's a different world now. I was thinking of seeing her on this tour for old time sake but after seeing this I will give it a miss and be grateful for seeing her in her heyday. This is OK for those who never saw her back in the day or who want to go on a trip down memory lane but it's not for me. Good luck to her though as it can't be easy trying to recreate the past after being a way for so long !!!!

[@cybertaiga9534]

Absolutely so happy to see Siouxsie back on stage. It is my wish to see her live at least once. I used to cover 'Hong Kong Garden' live when I used to live in London. Wish you the best of health, spirit and everlasting happiness. Stay the way you are! Lots of love from India.
