Best banshees live performance Ive heard!!

Roberts got his eye on Siouxsie's hairdo!

Absolutely at the pinnacle of her career with this performance - the strength, power and confidence she emulated was amazing. A truly unique voice from that era. ⚡👍🏻⚡

Florence from The Machine sounds like her. Neither seem to be able to do much with their voice, though. Florence seems like a less talented/capable Annie Lennox. Bands like this were from the post MTV era, and more about the look than the music. I had one of the Banshee albums, and it was OK. I preferred Lena Lovich back in the day, but some of her songs pandered to the LCD for commercial purposes. Hate to be so critical. A friend of mine was a Banshee fan, and he's an awesome guy. I played guitar and sang in several rock bands then, so I have high standards of singers. Annie Lennox was probably the best of the genre.

@@GCKelloch I think you have your timeline a little mixed up. Siouxsie started in 1976, a full 6 YEARS before MTV was created. Hardly "post MTV". But since you were a singer and in bands and had ONE banshees album, I concede you have the definitive knowledge to judge an artist who has been performing continuously for 46 years. Thank you for setting me straight.

I saw them three times in one month when they were touring for this LP. Brilliant gigs!!

my FAVE period of of Souixse and the Banshees ....and I'm soo not the only one! We do miss u, Siouxse, come back and sing death metal or techno, I don't really care... :-)

Love Siouxsie ❤️she is the queen of my heart as singer since 77 , miss her and the banshees...💃

I dont need to comment on Siouxsie, but this song is sublimely melanchonic, whistful, soaring ,hauntingly beautiful. A band in their prime, with John Mcgeoch.

Damn! I didn't know she was so good live. I liked a couple of her songs. I really missed the boat, not catching her in the 80's.

What I wouldn’t give to be able to go back in time to see one of their live performances during this period or when McGeoch was the guitarist. Also, Robert was once Siouxsie’s equal in terms of looks. He was so handsome here. Too bad this is no longer the case. She still looks incredible.

Adoring every album they made. For me this is the best band ever. From scream to rapture all are diamonds.

I love her from the 1st i seen her and heard her miss her so much, wish her well in her life she to me is the most beautiful lady in the World.

I miss those days a bit...

Saw Siouxsie & the Banshees twice in the early 80s - Hammersmith Palais when I was at the front (unseated0 and people started charging from the back - moved away from the front as fast as I could, and Hammersmith Odeon with Marc Almond support.

A kiss in the Dreamhouse...🐯💜🌀

The great thing about Siouxsie is that the only singers that sound like her are trying hard to sound like her. She is just so unique in her sound, as were the Banshees. No wonder she is referenced as a major influence on so many female vocalists over the last 40 years, many of them the biggest acts of those same 40 years.

We will never see another Banshees, there is no longer the creativity to do so. Modern music is bland, corporate, unoriginal, dull, & drab, with nothing to say or offer, in the words of the genius that was Mark E Smith describing U2, "music for bricklayers and plumbers " That also sums up most Modern music aswell. I was privileged to see the Banshees on the JuJu tour way back when. It was amazing, she is the best female vocalist of any generation hands down.
