Just saw Echo and the Bunnymen here in Philly the other night. Ian's voice held up. Too much stage fog, though.

Fog is good. It hides the wrinkles. Wish I had a fog machine in my purse.

I saw the show in Austin. Great show, lots of fog and mumbling.

Do they still bring it live? They were sharp as all get out when I saw them in 1988...just wondering if they still project that dark, edgy mood at their shows.

There's always so much mumbling. Does Ian have any idea that not a single person outside of Liverpool has understood a thing he's said since the late 80s??

Haha! Saw this show on Friday night in NYC. Motion carried on the Ian mumbling comment. Ian lost his voice at a few points in the show, but overall a very tight gig. This drummer is probably the best since Pete De.

I made the drive up to Toronto a few days ago to see Echo and the Bunnymen and can also confirm the mumbling. But they did put on a great show and it was nice to see them again for the first time since 1986.

Ian started to lose his voice about halfway through the show though.

Ian Stephen McCulloch (born 5 May 1959, so 52 now. Love playing their album at the end of the night.
