I thought when they had that great line-up live all four in the front was this great statement of "brotherhood" or all four being the Bunnymen. If I were ever in a band (and had some semblance of musical talent) that's how I'd do it.

Yes, I liked that too. It was good to have the drummer out in front rather than behind everyone which is the typical thing. For the WS gig it was a really small stage.

Check out this clip of the gig http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=a9dZBgdoyvs#t=11.

Les and Will are both on the forthcoming album I'm reliably informed.

I am reliably informed that there may be a DVD of the July gigs and a CD of the December show in the next few months. Also, there is some merch left from the July gigs on the Wild Swans site, grab them while you can.

Cheers for that Bill

Les provided most of the nautical dressing for the gig, the lifebelts, the anchor, the fishing nets, the sails and, if you looked carefully, the speakers were draped in original bunnymen camoflage netting

I prefer The Wild Swans to the Bunnymen nowadays and I'm really looking forward to the new album...

See, now THAT is the kind of quality content I look for in a post from a new forum member. Thanks, Hakeswill for adding something INTERESTING to the conversation.

Doesn't the homo sailor on the right look kinda like Johnny Depp.

No way, he looks like Wesley from the Princess Bride.

So I'm told.

I found it all a little too technical for my taste.
