An Oh My God moment...(that's OMG to you kids); I was noising around looking for Billy Thorpe's Children of the Sun to post here and came across this: I was at that show!!! Anyway,
Rats! Too late (I thought I had more time). Oh well, bear with me; I found a better version. It's probably not noticeable to most, but you know how it is when you've heard a song so many times - even if it has been a while - you just know when something's not quite right. I think this is the original, off the album, untinkered with, unremastered, unrevisited, version.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Nocturne One thing I've never understood about this record is that Robert Smith (of the Cure) just absolutely shreds as guitarist on this live album. Click anywhere in the last third of that video and you'll hear an all-time great guitar performance. And yet, on all those Cure albums there's no hint that the guitarist is anything but mediocre. And the Cure in concert these days has a second lead guitarist so Smith can focus on his vocals and his hair. I just don't get it. Also, Budgie is an amazing and under-appreciated talent on drums too.
Any song by Coldplay seems to be perfect. This is really is a great collaboration with The Chainsmokers.
