Just listened to it again and took it off. recording good, band tip top but there's no hiding the voice is shagged out.

Yes, sound is great !
Great live CD
But Mac's voice sometimes doesn't hit the notes.
It's a pity he has lost his voice a bit already...

It's a shame dinosaurs are somewhat starting to go extinct.

well bugger me! [no, please don't, just a turn of phrase]. ivan was always very supportive of stuff i did bunnymen-wise back in his days of bunnymen.com and even gave my cucumber-cabbage website a mention more than once.

Just played it 10 times on the run...it's amazing. U2 may have headlined Glastonbury but can they really compete with the Bunnymen? The answer is "NO"!!!!

I'd love to see Bono and the Edge having the guts to piss off their bass player and drummer and replace them with nondescript journeymen. That takes BALLS. Balls U2 havent GOT. They would never be brave enough to half fill shit venues with 40somethings desperate to relive their youth by playing Boy and October badly. THEY JUST HAVENT GOT THE CLASS.

Only the Bunnymen, The Alarm, Simple Minds and Big Country have the vision to hawk session players doing albums from the 80's to true fans. You can keep your continued innovation and risk taking...thats for loosers.

Ropey live albums rule. I need a bigger letterbox.

that's harsh!!! sounds good enough to me..... obviously not the same as when he
was younger but who could!! Certainly not Bono at Glasto.....he's really changed the
way he sings compared to his younger self and he sounded restrained and boring.
Mac sounds better now than Chris Martin ever did (his voice has always been weak).

Well at least Bunnymen drummer doesn't look like a geriatric on a commode when drumming and looking like he can't wait for his bedtime cocoa....and U2 (well Bono) is brave enough to wear STUPID leather trousers (complete with elephant baggy bum)....
so that's alright then..... LOL and surely it's not all about filling massive venues.

and you call me harsh!! lol. It was at the start of happy death men and UI thought, nah. He's OK in his upper register but the low end is off pretty consistently.

yes, he was masquerading under a psudonym for a while but having decided to shed his gobshite online personality he revealed himnself as the charmer he is. top bloke.

ere scouser, i seem to recall the drummer's dead. Wonder iof he'd still be around if he wasn't? Funnily enough i've seen the wedding present twice recently and the fact that gedge is the only one left - in fact he's the only one old enough to have been alive in the 80s didn't seem to matter. Mind you he's hired a couple of not unattractive girlies as his 'journeymen', and that didn't harm either. Perhaps thats the way to go.

I thank God every day that I was born stupid. Otherwise, I may have taken that as sarcasm, not a genuine compliment. Thank you, Fat Cherry. You touched my heart.

When did multi-billionaires U2 last take a risk?Fuck me what do people expect?Mac is over 50....of course his voice is going to change.Check out Cohen,Bowie..Sinattra.Does anyone on this forum sound like when they were 16??And yeah I smoke and my voice is different.More cool in the Bunnymen than a fucking lifetime of wankers like fucking Bono.

And fuck me Pete DeFreitas and Stuart Adamson are dead so unless you can resurrect their bones and get them to learn a fucking setlist the said bands are a bit stuck .

I think it's disengenuous for you to imply that our criticism of Mac's voice is that it "changed."

Since your bring up Sinatra, he was at his PEAK at 50.
