I wrote a paper in college about Siouxsie and the Banshees. The hypothesis is that she's a mystical being from another planet, and their music makes you transcend space and time because of this. I got an A.

Absolute fav version

Versione bellissima

Some of her best singing, and some of the best band synergy right here. Royal Albert Hall must have been one of the best shows they ever played, every track I find from that performance is amazing, and rivals it's studio version. I am a huge fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees, one of the most unique acts of all time, but there are some live performances on YT where you can tell the band cohesion is just not there, of course that makes sense cause they never kept one line up for too long. I'm not a big fan of the cure, but Robert Smith was always great in the Banshees, and you could tell this line up really all got along the way a band should. Respect to great artists.

I somehow feel exited as if I'm actualy there at the concert! Thank you very much!

Masterpiece!!!

What I remember is that Channel 4 asked bands (e.g. New Order) to make their own films. The Banshees did have stuff from concerts in it (probably Nocturne), but I remember them all sat round a table as Alice in Wonderland characters. Budgie wore a dress! Actually, I'm totally lazy as it tells me in a book by Mark Paytress I have on the Banshees! I was still at school when I saw it! Paytress says they were drinking mushy brew out of the tea-pot!

I am such a freak for Siouxsie.

She is beautiful xxxxx

Robert Smith was a worthy, albeit short lived, successor to John McGeoch on guitar duties. he sounds amazing on this live set.

Robert Smith!!!!

It was called 'Play at Home'. Channel 4 gave a band an hour, half an hour of live music (it WAS Nocturne) then half an hour of whatever the band wanted. Sioux says Big Country included footage of them loading their van (big imagination, not!).Oh, and it was wine, not mushy brew in the tea-pot! Robert Smith and Severin also wore dresses. A fan played Tweedledum!

I couldn't agree more. Anyone who knows me, knows Robert Smith was my favorite guitarist of the Banshees, followed by McGeoch. Hyaena is my favorite album, it has a sound that's completely different from the others. Robert Smith is to be credited for that, sorry to say "The Cure" is good but not as good, I dunno what was with Smith and the Banshees that made it sound so amazing. I still don't understand the magic behind it, and Hyaena.

McKay's the worst... After all he inspired song Drop Dead when he adandoned the band with Kenny Morris.. McGeoch is obviously the best... he's so creative and exciting and awesome sounding... But he's also kind of a fuck up... After all he was pretty much fired by Siouxsie when he dropped a gig hard.. Robert Smith is a badass.. he can't sing like Siouxsie.. nor play like McGeoch.. but he's a total badass. JVC is next.. then Jon Klein for me

Siouxsie seems a lot more tired and worn than I would have expected...and then I realised that even in 1983 she's been doing this hard-out for seven years now and also that this is right after half her band went out for a newspaper and never returned, which is why Cure members are filling in. She's probably feeling quite stressed and hurt.

@patrickcannady2066

Well…the half the band splitting thing happened in 1978. This was just after the band fired John McGeoch because his drinking was affecting their performances. Bob filled in admirably here though and it is easily one of the best middle period Banshees recordings.

lol...buy nocturne dvd at amazon^^

Don’t understand how ppl slag the banshees. “Take Me Back” to 1983!!!!!!

Her voice was at its best here. It started losing its power just after "Peepshow". By Tinderbox though, her voice is the best instrument on the album - she'd really learnt to use it to stunning effect.

better yet, buy any album at your local independant record store.

@ILikeCalliopes I know exactly what you're talking about! I thought I was the only one who did that! It does sound like a demon-voice.

Great performance, but damn they should've had someone play the brass part live, too. It really punctuates that section.

I wonder how successful a career the two nobs who left the band have had in comparison?

if you speak or understand Portuguese, then find find out what "sarcasmo" means. (Hint: it's quite the same as in English) See ya

Every few years I try understanding why people like Souxsie. I just can't get into her vocals. Like a bad night at karoeke.
