When I was 11 I snuck in and saw Siouxsie & The Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen, and New Order at a place called "The Pier" on the west side of NYC. Sent my life in an incredible direction, I must say :)

[@holyspacemonkey]

Wow, what a night! Well done! I saw Siouxsie & the Banshees and New Order separately but never got to see Echo and the Bunnymen. I did make myself an Echo t-shirt, but I naively used non-fabric markers, and the ink bled and stained my skin for weeks! I think I was 13 then. 🤣

[@warmcolours]

The rich, beautiful, but evil Disney villain vibe she is giving off in this amazing ensemble gives me life. She really has it all.

She makes Bowie blush and jealous

[@FrankNFurter1000]

Great cover! And how amazing does she look here? WOW!

[@alexz4752]

I never dreamed in a million years a Dylan song would be covered by a goth band, but I should have known better because Siouxsie does this all the time. Also, her fashion is killer.

[@127cmore]

Punk, not Goth 😊

[@alexz4752]

@@127cmore why not both

[@zeddeka]

​@@alexz4752because they're not

[@alexz4752]

​@@zeddeka Circular reasoning 🥱 Anyways, I'll bite. What exactly makes Siouxsie punk and not goth despite Siouxsie being an icon of goth culture for decades? Also, wasn't goth culture an offspring of the punk movement anyways, thus making your attempt at gatekeeping her as punk redundant?

[@matthewbeumer3168]

Siouxsie Sioux loved Julie Driscoll and this was what made her want to cover the song. Unlike many so called Goth bands I hate that term the level of musicality and versatility of the Banshees is quite something that why they are so much more than goth. They were a musical tour de force!

[@thewkovacs316]

she loved the band

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Yes, that was the primary reason why she took on this cover, not knowing until later thanks to bassist Steve Severin that it was co-written by Bob Dylan and The Band's bassist/singer Rick Danko. When she realized that, Sioux almost dropped the idea of doing this song.

[@lancenichols3542]

I love this version, I don't know why no one here cares about both Siouxsie and The Band.

Brilliant version. Plus Siouxsie is sexy as hell here. Great band 👌

[@jamesmiller6125]

This is the best version of this song. The other versions are so disjointed and clunky, it's hard to believe they came to this conclusion. Bravo
