Live In Liverpool (2002) Audio Question

Which audio source superior from a technical/dynamic range/fidelity standpoint - the DTS audio from the Live In Liverpool DVD transferred as flac audio or a flac transfer of the CD release?

(Trying to make a playlist of the most "complete" version of the concerts using the best source as the primary, although "Heads Will Roll" and "Do It Clean" have never been released).

It's that time of year again...

Flowers, peeking out calling my name just asking to be spun. Was so glad when they reissued it. Hope What Are You Going To Do With Your Life is next.

Looking for 2 Spare Tickets for the Buffalo Show

I was just looking for two spare tickets to the concert in Buffalo, New York. This is one of my dream concerts but unfortunately by the time I found out about the concert tickets were already sold out. I am willing to pay. If anyone knows were else I could search for spare tickets or point me in the right direction that would be amazing. Thank you all so much.

Setlist

They're one of my favorite bands and I wish some lesser known songs would get added to the setlist. How fun would it be to hear Think I Need it Too or Explosions live??

How do you feel about meteorites?

I tend to play echo and the bunnymen a lot on Spotify, but I typically let it run through playlists so I never know which album the songs are from.

Went to the record store with the intention of picking up one of their vinyls and picked this one randomly. Saw it’s from 2014 and not very popular online, so just wondered your thoughts?

Initial reaction is I like it! Definitely more modern feeling, almost a bit like Coldplay? I’m only a few songs in so far but I like it.

Brighton gig last night.

Won’t lie. I was disappointed. The performance seemed a bit phoned in. Been a fan since the 80s and saw them back then.

Merch at shows?

Going to be seeing them in the next few months and was curious if anyone has any pics of the merch they usually sell at their shows? Or a description? Mostly looking to grab a tour poster if they sell any.

Thanks!

“Revolutionary Spirit” by Paul Simpson

Just finished Paul Simpson’s memoir and it’s a really excellent read, especially for anyone who loved Will’s two books and is fascinated by the post punk Liverpool scene. All the Bunnymen pop up at some point in his recountings (he grew up with Les, lived with Pete, was in an early band with Mac, buddies with Will). Recommended.

For those of you who have seen the band live, where & when did you first see them live (& at what venue)? Did you go back to see them multiple times since then?

My parents were both born in 1968 (my dad was born on January 26th and my mom was born on April 15th), so they were both teenagers when the band first hit it big. I believe my dad may or may not have seen them live sometime in the 80’s.

As for me, I was born on March 10th, 1999, so I was not around when the first 7 albums came out. WAYGTDWYF came out when I was only a month old, and Flowers came out when I was 2. Siberia came out when I was 6, and The Fountain came out when I was 10. Then Meteorites came out when I was 15, and TSTOATM came out when I was 19.

2024 Songs to Learn and Sing Tour

Feels like a full circle moment for me having just bought tickets for their May 2024 Detroit show.

I saw them on the first Songs To Learn and Sing tour back in 1985 (5th row!) This will be my 4th time seeing them. I also saw them in 87 and last year. Ian is one of the greatest front men in music. I’m so ridiculously excited I feel like I’m 16 again

Palm Springs rescheduled for Nov. 30

I received an email yesterday from etix that the show has been rescheduled for this Thursday, Nov. 30 but I’ve yet to see any mention of it on the casino website or the band’s socials. There’s no mention of how to get refunds as an option. At least with Ticketmaster, they tell you how to get one if you can’t make the new date. I’m wondering if it’s worth going after what happened in San Diego.

Will on his creative input to current Echo incarnation

This has been kind of an open secret for anyone who follows the band closely, but he really lays it out pretty starkly here.

He’s essentially just a member of the backing band. Sounds like he has almost no communication with Mac and theres is a business arrangement. It’s a bummer, but I get it—it’s a gig. He gets to travel, see fans, play. He’s resigned to it. Obviously he has a lot of pride in what the band accomplished, but you can tell it gets to him that they’ve devolved so much from their salad days.

Such an interesting guy though. Can’t wait to read the next installment of his memoir.
