@@mbrady2329 That's Robert Smith. He filled in when McGeoch was kicked out of the band for being a drunk in 1982. McGeoch was a brilliant guitarist, but that's not him.
Back in the days a musicjournalist described that it sounded like, at least 2 drummers on the studio-album. And when he saw them live he find him self looking for that second drumkit. The sound was there, but Budgie was alone. I saw them live -93 same experiece. Mesmericing, heavenly, trancendet
I knew of The Cure before Siouxsie and now I love them both. Their styles remind me of the other. It's like Siouxsie is the female Robert and vise versa. BUT PUTTING THEM TOGETHER! THAT'S JUST PURE AWESOMENESS!
Interesting fact for Siouxsie and Robert Smith fans, they had another group together called "The Blue Glove"...I used to have the cassette tape and the music was awesome of course...good luck finding it...one I wish I still had, I'd find a cassette player for that!
Robert Smith and Steve Sevrin made an album called" blue sunshine" and the duo called Themselves " the glove" . The album has amazing songs like looking glass girl, and punish me with kisses , like an animal ..... its 1 of my favorite album's , ive owned an album tape and cd , unfortunately i dont have 1 of them any more as someone liberated my cd collection years ago and my brother liquidated my vinyl records collection and bought baseball cards with the proceeds ..... 😠 still feel fucked on that 1 ......
Robert Smith would travel from The Cure Pornography'' tour in Scotland by taxi to do these gigs with Siouxsie. This just about broke The Cure. But what a legend he is. He was on so many drugs at the time the doctor said "what ever you are taking, you better stop'". This was at the same time The Cure were touring with the 'Pornography' album. Half the band were in the trucks with the roadies and half were on the bus. I'm so glad The Cure are still around.
Siouxsie is a Godess.....I don't care if this music is from 20 years ago.....I'm just stuck in a Siouxsie time.....She makes me happy and God how I love her voice...Siouxsie is in my blood forever....
Eu amo Siouxie and the Banshees. Especialmente nessa fase, eu tinha 12 anos quando ela fez esse show. E o guitarrista era o Robert Smith (lenda do The Cure)
Little orphans in the snow With nowhere to call a home Start their singing Waiting through the summertime To thaw your hearts in wintertime That's why they're singing Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine The sweet taste in your mouth -- turned bitter in its glass Israel... in Israel Israel... in Israel Shattered fragments of the past Meet in veins on the stained glass Like the lifeline in your palm Red and green reflects the scene Of a long forgotten dream There were princes and there were kings Now hidden in disguise -- cheap wrappings of lies Keep your heart alive with a song from inside Even though we're all alone We are never on our own when we're singing There's a man who's looking in And he smiles a toothless grin Because he's singing See some people shine with glee But their song is jealousy Their hate is clanging -- maddening In Israel... will they sing Happy Noel Israel... in Israel Israel... in Israel In Israel will they sing Happy Noel

Sioux and Smith together. It's like they knew what I've always wanted to see, and did it. Is it fair to say my life is complete now? XD Such an addictive bassline. I've always thought that.
What do you think her song/poem "Israel" mean? I can interpret it in a few ways. One way: Since it's highly symbolic, "Israel" may refer to it's Hebrew meaning "Wrestles with God." How Israel, a metaphor for a world who wrestles with God....but there's still a lot more there....
You have to respect a female singer that can knock over small houses with their voice (SS) and along with RS, create an entire new genre of music.. $fo ❤
I first heard siouxsie and the banshees on radio 1 when I was about 13. The stair case mistery. It freaked me out but I was so intrigued at the same time by the song.
Just Found this lot, banging man, Devo, kraftwerk, Numan, Joy Division, Eno, Roxy Music, Bowie's German trilogy in particular,..LOW, BUT this escaped me
classic band, with a timeless connection to spirit...when band culture understandably reached near religious status. So amazing we have the archive that is youtube. They didn'y have that back then ;)
Hard to choose when there are so many amazing Banshees songs... but I did buy this 7" at the time and it does sound just as fresh now... in fact probably even better than ever!
Grande époque où des mecs comme Robert Smith, Martin Gore nous sortaient des petits riffs de guitare à jamais gravés dans nos mémoires d'adolescents. Quel bonheur!
Eu adoro pra caramba, amo Siouxie and the Banshes. Desde tenra adolescência já ouvia e curtia muito, dançar então nem se fala! Ouço essa bela expressão da música desde 1984 (13 anos)
I remember playing this on my VCR back in the day and just going along with my bass to the whole thing from Israel to Helter Skelter... Damned good times... (except for my poor mom, who had to listen to this and my bass amp at full volume) Still play her songs to this day, and I have to say the bass lines are some of the best. My hats off to you Severin. Truly one of the best...
WOW!! I just found this band where have I been...They remind me of the cure..see what songs I can find on this band wow I knew they were around I just never checked them out...I feel deprived.
I can see people jumping up and down and really enjoying themselves. Broke my heart when the Cure were playing 100 years at Glastonbury and all people could do was to take selfies in their mobile phones.
Years ago the NME did a Q&A with Robert Smith. Emily Eavis’s (daughter of Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis) question was ‘when are you going to come and play Glastonbury again?’ Smith replied that he’d been reliably informed that Michael Eavis had let it be known, years before, that the Cure were barred from playing Glastonbury ever, ever again! I’ve got no idea why not, but that’s what Smith claimed
@@greva2904 The Cure are one of the favourites to headline in 2019. It's more to do with Smith not enjoying Glastonbury. He believes it's poorly organised for starters. As he says though 'There's plenty of other festivals' He's not said it isn't going to happen though... www.radiox.co.uk/artists/cure/robert-smith-talks-cure-headline-glastonbury/ Must add, that with the bookmakers, The Cure are joint favourites with Paul McCartney to headline both at even money.
Yep,the main reason I've listened to them for nearly 30 years is because they were never that one dimensional.And this is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Siouxise sounds she's from another galaxy. The sounds this band created are not even from this planet. This song is a masterpiece.
That nice, young, well groomed, skinny man on guitar, is quite good. Perhaps he may find fame and great success someday with his own band !!!
Looks like the kinda guy that'll be doing 3 hour long shows in his mid 60s.
Siouxsie and Robert look like a match made in heaven!!!
Nah, they're more like siblings!
@@hutdweller7430 Siouxsie as the older sister, and Robert like the younger one, trying to be like her.

That drum playing, my Lord....
God how I miss music.
IKR?!? Music has really gone down the shitter.
I was there at 17. Sioux was my role model. Don't get many like her these days.
That's for sure.
Role model 😂
еврейка...
They don't know her or the VEST artists of the 89s because they were against the hit shot record producers, but they became legends anyway.
Well said ❤
I'll never forget when I first heard this song at 16(1986). I was paralyzed until it was over. One of the greatest.
Absolutely
tremendous tune, love this version Severin's bass, Budgie's drums, Robert Smith's guitar and Siouxsies vocal work sheer class
John McGeogh's guitar!
@@mbrady2329 That's Robert Smith. He filled in when McGeoch was kicked out of the band for being a drunk in 1982. McGeoch was a brilliant guitarist, but that's not him.

All it needs ist some Sid on bass ? X
Smith mimicking McGeoch @@RaiynStorm
Bass Line and Guitar Riffs are awesome.
Budgie is an underrated drummer
Back in the days a musicjournalist described that it sounded like, at least 2 drummers on the studio-album. And when he saw them live he find him self looking for that second drumkit. The sound was there, but Budgie was alone. I saw them live -93 same experiece. Mesmericing, heavenly, trancendet
He was fantastic at the Albert hall. He inspired me to drum with fans beside me 😂
He isn't recognised by his peers
You speak truth. Budgie's fantastic!
No. He is not underrated.
I was hoping for John McGeogh but Robert Smith will do. Great vid
I knew of The Cure before Siouxsie and now I love them both. Their styles remind me of the other. It's like Siouxsie is the female Robert and vise versa. BUT PUTTING THEM TOGETHER! THAT'S JUST PURE AWESOMENESS!
Robert Smith was with the banshees for a while
Hands down my favorite female singer ever. She belts this one out
Incredible atmosphere... just three instruments and one voice... amazing!
Siouxie and Robert...
In 1983 this music transport me to....now a'm 53 yrs old and this is a world to forget...
Cheers from Porto, Portugal
Yeah, but it's ok to have a listen, now then?
I couldn't agree more (I yearn for how it was ,so much simpler).
Interesting fact for Siouxsie and Robert Smith fans, they had another group together called "The Blue Glove"...I used to have the cassette tape and the music was awesome of course...good luck finding it...one I wish I still had, I'd find a cassette player for that!

Taxi? There wasn't someone around to drive him? You'd think the rest of the band or someone else would stop him.
That was actually the tour after that.
@@sushisioux2042 how do you know this?? Is it from an interview or article or something?

Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing
Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth -- turned bitter in its glass
Israel... in Israel
Israel... in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
Now hidden in disguise -- cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive with a song from inside
Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own when we're singing
There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging -- maddening
In Israel... will they sing Happy Noel
Israel... in Israel
Israel... in Israel
In Israel will they sing Happy Noel
Thanks for sharing. I've been singing it all wrong
Rebuked religion for freedom nmind but don't

Ditto!
this is so epic

I bought the album again 30 years later
Ever notice that the beginning riff of this song is used again in "Fasincation Street???" Smith was "Going Green" back in the 80's. Nice.....
Yeah but it was always his....maybe his way of pointing to his roots w Siouxie?
robert smith is so cool, he really likes playing with siouxsie.
Such a banger ❤
Dark wave or Gothic...very haunting and transcendental music....
Best song by far and what a fantastic live performance.
i was at this gig, god i feel old :-)
Authentic artist..No autotune
Brilliant band

whoooooooo p yeahhhhh brings back sooo many memories of dancing to this in Canada and everyone looking and going WTF!
I knew Robert Smith was playing guitar on this. He used the same riff for Fascination Street.
I heard this song back in 1989 and man , it still makes me move!!! Love her!!!!
incredible! Robert AND Siouxsie. what a kick it must have been to be up front jumping at this!
Steve Severin is an underrated bassist
yea the bass line is dope, and look at robert smith!!!
Wow, she is just incredible. One of the most underrated "front people" ever.
Isnt she just brilliant
She is not underrated
Epic! Best live version of this marterpiece
its not the live sound
She has an amazing voice!
Had...
Some of the BEST GOTHIC PUNK Ever to be produced
LOL! Lemme guess, you're 12...
Wasn't she BEFORE Gothic Punk?
Me too! I was 17 in '83! Save me a spot in that time machine as well! Music was much better then.
I love this live version!!!! it is killer!
Mitici anni 80 israel un capolavoro di siouxsie
This video is freaking awesome 💯
at this concert in brum-i was up the front-it was so manic i got my shoes ripped off-brilliant!
Recognized by the music world as fantastic singer and front man. She commands an audience
So meaningful!
