Echo & The Bunnymen @ Witnness '03
Day One of Witnness and it’s seriously hot.
If there were any rocks here, the sun would be splitting them! For once in his life Ian McCulloch has a proper reason for wearing those omnipresent shades of his. Yup, Day One of Witnness and it’s seriously hot.
They say size isn’t important, but there’s something depressing about seeing a band who were once more-likely-to than U2 playing so early to a small but admittedly enthusiastic Main Stage crowd.
McCulloch still looks and sounds great, though, with ‘Seven Seas’, ‘Dancing Horses’, ‘Breaking The Back Of Love’ and ‘The Killing Moon’ all dispensed with the prerequisite amount of Scouse gusto. There’s also a cover of ‘Walk On The Wildside’ which is a fuck sight more sprightly than anything Lou Reed can muster these days.
For all the swooping and soaring, though, you can’t help feeling that the Bunnymen are a band out of time.
