Banshees; Live In London 1982

A quick recap; Siouxsie And The Banshees were awesome live during the early 80’s period with Steve Severin, Budgie and John McGeoch (plus the additional assistance of Robert Smith). The Hammersmith Odeon in west London has been the scene of many great gigs by hundreds of great bands over the years. This show from 28^th December ‘82 was the first of two sold out nights for the Banshees in London on their ‘A Kiss In The Dreamhouse’ UK tour with Robert Smith filling in on guitar following the departure of John McGeoch earlier in the year. The atmosphere is electric as the band kicked off with Fireworks then taking their time to introduce the audience to their new tracks from the Dreamhouse album. Night Shift wakes the crowd up and launches them in a hedonistic race towards salvation with Slowdive, Painted Bird, Arabian Knights and Overground before the Banshees launch into Halloween and Voodoo Dolly to close the set. But it’s not over, the band come back out for all the people who chose not to go home for Christmas…
