Shiver And Say The Word
I am the first person to admit that the last Bunnymen show in D.C. was underwhelming. It never got its legs and took off. Last night was much different. Maybe it was the crazy weather outside. Maybe it was the late start time (Jeebus, I'm old) but last night was everything the previous show was not. The Bunnies ripped through a set that focused mostly on their vast catalog, so much so, that I was actually disappointed not to hear more from Siberia, but I will stop short of complaining. "The Cutter" was to die for. And the transition form "Scissors In the Sand" right into "All That Jazz" was just incredible. Yes, I'm gushing. But hey, the Bunnies were in fine form last night. They are quickly rocketing up the Favorite Band Ever list for yours truly. Will Sargeant is just amazing. I could watch and listen to him play guitar all day, every day. Mac was in typical proto-Liam form. He was just oozing cool in every direction.

More pics here. I could not get a decent shot of Ian to save my life.
Boy Kills Boy were the definition of 'meh.' If Maximo Park sucked, they would sound like Boy Kill Boy.
Here's another MP3 for everyone, and oldie but goodie.
Echo & the Bunneymen | Never Stop (MP3) - This is live from Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo, Japan on Jan. 17th, 1984. It rules.
