Echo and the Bunnymen-Bring on the Dancing Horses, Greek Theatre, Sunday Night
All in all it was a great show. Ian McCulloch voice is definitely not what it used to be, as evidenced by letting the audience handle some of the singing. Good setlist though. Started with the early stuff, which rocked. Here’s a mediocre sample:
Paul Young -Do They Know It’s Christmas
Can you image any else being luckier? Being in the right place at the right time. A blue eyed soul singer doing cover songs singing first on Do They Know It’s Christmas and singing at Live Aid.

Strawberry Switchblade - Let Her Go
Board, how about some Strawberry Switchblade "Let Her Go". I wish I knew about this crazy band years ago. My music life is now more chaotic.
