They were incredible live, esp. the drummer. Saw them first in 1981 opening for Bauhaus in Hamburg, Markthalle. Never heard them before, my girlfriend and I came for Bauhaus. I am not the one dancing at concerts, but we both did. Again this drummer❤❤❤
@@griffo-griffo hard to believe, but true. Nov. 30, 1981, Hamburg Markthalle. “Englisch für Fortgeschrittene” tour with 4 dates in Germany. It was more a two bands concert, but Echo played first. If you google it, you find the poster for the gigs.
54spiritedwill54 11 Years on, I’m inclining to agree with you. Definitely of this fantabulous band, I’d only rank this down below some of the live gigs of The Specials. Are you still alive? I’m 53 now.
Will's guitar knocking out sounds YEARS before The Edge was doing it with U2..... I would always say Sergeant is streets ahead of Evans in guitar abilities and innovation..... Les was a better bassist than Clayton and Pete was a drummer in a whole other universe than Mullen Jr (w4nker)
@andrewphippsphillips1455 The Edge nicked all of his guitar sounds from PiL. He ripped off Keith Levene's playing style and he's wrongly credited for having pioneered that sound.
thats the entirety of my statement Janell meaning mopsies says still listening to them at 54...im saying "Fuck yeah you are"...because they were the greatest "new wave" band of them all
Though still a decent live act, they just haven’t been able to keep up with their former glory ever since Pete left this plane. He was/is irreplaceable. He set the bar impossibly high.
Echo & The Bunnymen made some decent pop hits in the mid-80s but their best work was really in the early years when they were making some hard-hitting post-punk tunes.
That’s definitely subjective. I’m an old fan since ‘80, but objectively I’d say they remained consistent all throughout the first half of the 80’s, or up to and including Ocean Rain, which I’m fairly certain is the tour that this footage was culled from (string section is a bit of a giveaway). That was ‘84. Definitely mid 80’s at that point.
@@Caolzinho Right. All I meant to say was that I feel that their initial potency lasted up until at least Ocean Rain in ‘84. After that the cracks started showing.
This is in my opinion the most badass, powerful and energetic version of this song I heard live. Fantastic voice, absolute acid sound of the guitar and one of the best drum performance all combined in one of the best song from Echo & The Bunnymen, a Masterpiece. I am lucky to have the vinyl (B side of The Killing Moon 12”). They are my all time favourite band.
Yeah, like light years better. I pretty well learned just how out of balance the world was/is when I (simultaneously) watched U2’s meteoric ascendancy to megastardom, while Echo cranked out one superior, near-flawless album after another, to lukewarm record sales and until ‘87 here in the states at least, almost no mainstream radio play. That’s when I realized just how out of wack things were.
Pretty much every bit of live footage of them that I’ve seen from the ‘80-‘84 timeframe, not to mention my memories of seeing them live during that period, they were consistently and equally mind blowing each time. There’s a lot… and I do mean a *LOT* of live footage of them uploaded here to YT, and I have yet to see a single bad or mediocre performance, or really anything short of awe-inspiring from them in that ‘80-‘84 period. This incredible performance here is just one of many I’ve seen. Very few bands could touch them live in those days.
This is Echo at The Royal Albert Hall, 1983 (NOT at the Palladium as someone here thought). Ian sounds INCREDIBLE, and this extended version--not the album version--is not this good anywhere else. "Thank you. Good Night. I'm tired." LOVE "EM!
This whole concert is the band at their absolute zenith. I’m glad they never turned into another U2 stadium type outfit. They would have lost that touch they had. They were so tight as a unit. I’ve always wondered who the kid playing guitar and wore shorts was????
The fusion of this band is stark raving mad .this particular performance exemplifies their live capabilities...always some special sonic treat with these cat
Unless I am mistaken this is the version released on a mini-LP (Or EP?) called 'Echo and the Bunnymen' (korova, WEA 1983). An album with a plain dark blue cover and a tiny photo in the right bottom hand corner of an ice building. The Ep included the tracks 1. Never Stop. 2. Rescue. 3. The Cutter. 1. Back of Love. 2. Do It Clean. I know this because this is the first record I ever bought with my own money. In about 1986. The version on that album MUST be from the performance above!. Had this song so long but this is the first time I've ever seen this videoclip. Thank you interweb and TouYube for making this kind of stuff available. Great Work Echo and the Bunnymen for your fantastic songs. x
+Marty Beedell The live version of this song? I got the cassette "Songs to Learn and Sing" first album I bought of ETB. But if I remember it was the same playlist, cause I always hear " Back of Love" in my head and get ready for "Cutter" played right after. This was before I knew anything about the band.. A compilation album of the hits back in 1986-87 if I remember. Now don't know if I still have the cassette though.
Best version best band best frontman best guitarist best drummer - nothing has come close to what these guys were. Listen to this song, what compares to this today - they have 4 genres of music in this one live song. God bless the bunnymen. keep dreaming COLDPLAY you will always be an afterthought these guys did it first.
Two words, Fucking Wow! Well thats actually four words as written, but if you disregard the two pre-emptive words of 'two words' at the start of the sentence, that leaves just two wo.......now look what you made me fuckin do! Fuckin Wow.
@@stevetoseland1303I’m guessing what he/she meant to say was that he/she regrets not seeing them at this time, when it was the original lineup in all their youthful glory. As someone who saw them back then as well as having seen the current lineup a few times (getting ready to go see them again this June), there honestly really isn’t much to compare. Though definitely still an enjoyable experience, it’s more like seeing a really good tribute band rather than the real thing. It is what it is.
Saw ian fall in the orchestra pit in Tampa 88 bed bugs and ballyhoo. Security got him back on stage and he killed it. Unbelievable show. Shows up at the masquerade in ybor city after the show and just tears it up. Dude couldn't have been nicer. Saw them in Chicago a week ago. They were awesome, sounded like 88.
I have been lucky to see the band many times over nearly 40 years. They have always been the best in the world. I saw them in Dublin, New York, Brussels, Antwerp, London and recently Dublin again. The original line up with Pete and Les was amazing and the shows they played truly beyond compare. However the later version of the band has had its moments too. A couple of weeks ago I saw them at the sold out Olympia in Dublin. They were amazing! After the sacred Gregorian Chant and dry ice they came on and played Going Up. It was clear straight away that Mac was singing at the top of his game.The crowd went crazy. Classic after classic song all delivered faultlessly with the heft of the extended band line up. Ocean Rain to finish. I cant believe that my favourite band are still alive and gigging. See them while you can!
Hands down, this version of 'Do It Clean' is the greatest song ever recorded. I had it on the b side of their 12" 'Killing Moon' single. I've seen the video of this entire 1981 Royal Albert Hall show. It is absolutely amazing. They were dead on that night.
I agree with your view on this. Gary Mulholland, author of This is Uncool, The 500 Greates Singles Since Punk and Disco, names this concert the one to which he would most like to be transported. I have worn my VHS copy of "Pictures of the Wall" featuring this to death. I can only dream of seeing the whole concert
I saw them at the Fox Theater (in Atlanta, Georgia) with Screaming Blue Messiahs. Ian had flu and had to come back a month later to do the show again. Brilliant!
I saw the Bunny men in 1987, they were superb. I, as a Liverpool born Welsh man adore their music. Their music is sublime and reflective, so atmospheric, to Liverpool. Constant references to the Sea, in their music . Where as the fab 4, turned their back on the city, as quickly as possible. New beatles statues, reflects this. Their reference to the city's maritime heritage...yellow submarine. Says it all.
Ian used to be very drunk at most shows in early days. Took it for granted. Got it together by 1994, realised the gift of his voice. Has sounded great ever since.
This was on the B side of The Killing Moon 12" I think. Remember hearing it for the first time and being blown away. Still trying to get that Will Sergeant sound... Certainly the best Bunnymen vid on RUclips. No doubt. Saw them 2 years ago and they were as good as when I saw them in 1985.
Still got that 12 inch. Saw them two nights in a row in bham on this tour. Two of the best hugs I have ever seen. The beautiful irony of this recording is that a bunch of (perceived) ruffians from the frozen North sold out the fucking Royal Albert Hall! And used an orchestra. In 1983 Thatcher land. Well done, you scouse gits.
Ho il 45 giri in vinile originale di importazione GB....acquistato nel 1981 ..credo....io amavo questa band ed ora a 58 anni li ascolto ancora molto volentieri !
Sono stati fra i più grandi esponenti, insieme a Siouxsie, The Cure, gli XTC, The Fall e i Wire della new wave inglese! I primi 3 dischi sono fondamentali per ogni appassionato del genere.
I remember going into my local record store and ordering this on VHS ..it took a couple of months to arrive and when it did I wore it out with playing over and over..it's great to see it again ❤
Video of this whole concert was up on the band's website about 5 years ago, but it's long gone from there now. I wish I had thought to download and save it then. I have read the 'Uncool' book. Really interesting, and very well written. It made me seek out a lot of the songs which I'd never heard of - mostly U.K. hits which were never big in the U.S.
Yes this is the same version on the EP. I have it too! this is one of the best live versions of "Do it clean" ever recorded if not the best. See em' in LA Saturday! ya!!!
@TheMarrakeshRed John Peel was the man who, thanks to his radio show, got me into Echo, and I have vivid memories of getting into Psychedelic Furs, the Fire Engines and Orange Juice at around the same time, in 1981. And, oh yes, that other song that sort of became him, in 1978. True Confessions, the b side, possibly it's equal. Well that should have been kept as the follow up.
Makes one's hair stand on end!
英語のコメントしかないからあえて日本語で書きますね。英語わかりますけどね。僕は1987年にウエンブリーアリーナで、2003年に恵比寿だったかな?で2回エコバニのライブ見てます。自分の青春時代が蘇りますね。今見てもめっちゃかっこいい。東京に来てる何人かのイギリス人にエコバニ好きだったと言っても理解してくれるイギリス人にあったことがない。まあ、ちょっと寂しいですけどね。
This was a raw ballsy performance, I don't care what you say it's just ripped my face off
Such a tight band. The original 4 were magic - Les, Pete, Will & Ian.
They were incredible live, esp. the drummer. Saw them first in 1981 opening for Bauhaus in Hamburg, Markthalle. Never heard them before, my girlfriend and I came for Bauhaus. I am not the one dancing at concerts, but we both did. Again this drummer❤❤❤
Wow… Echo and Bauhaus? Now there’s a hell of a bill! And in ‘81 no less. Beautiful.
supporting bauhaus?

Pete de Freitas who's died in 89 in a motorcicle acident( sad) one's of my favorite drumers in the 80's😩😩👍👀
'When we were kings'. Simply the best band of the 80's. Thank you Echo and the Bunnymen for making my life better.
Yes !!!
One of the best of the 80’s. There was no shortage of mind blowing bands in the first half of that decade.
Hands down, this version of 'Do It Clean' is the greatest song ever recorded.
54spiritedwill54 11 Years on, I’m inclining to agree with you. Definitely of this fantabulous band, I’d only rank this down below some of the live gigs of The Specials. Are you still alive? I’m 53 now.
no
Will's guitar knocking out sounds YEARS before The Edge was doing it with U2.....
I would always say Sergeant is streets ahead of Evans in guitar abilities and innovation.....
Les was a better bassist than Clayton and Pete was a drummer in a whole other universe than Mullen Jr (w4nker)
Live version on USA 5 song ep with Never Stop is as good.
@andrewphippsphillips1455 The Edge nicked all of his guitar sounds from PiL. He ripped off Keith Levene's playing style and he's wrongly credited for having pioneered that sound.
Wow!The Bunnymen back then were really something
They still are something...Ian still has it.
@@roboliver623 eh smoking and drinking killed his voice but he can still sing even today...
I saw them the first time around 1980. Still listening to them at 54 :)
I bought a cassette tape of them in London in 1983.....never heard of them before.....I'm 53 & they are still one of my faves
fuck yeah you are
fuck yeah you are.....?? Don't stop now, finish your thought herbyverstank.......lol
thats the entirety of my statement Janell
meaning
mopsies says still listening to them at 54...im saying "Fuck yeah you are"...because they were the greatest "new wave" band of them all

Seeing their live shows then and comparing it to their performances of late -- the difference lies in the energy. They're having fun here.
Though still a decent live act, they just haven’t been able to keep up with their former glory ever since Pete left this plane. He was/is irreplaceable. He set the bar impossibly high.
Agreed!

Originally it was the b-side of “The Puppet” single.
Existait aussi sur le mini 12 » ou 33 tr s « Shine so Hard » …?❤❤❤❤
Petes drumming on this is awesome
The fill for that finale proves just how damn good he was.
Courtney Love brought me here. I has no idea about the Bunnymen's earlier stuff until I grew up. Ain't life strange? Thanx Courtney.
When the Bunnymen arrived....they knew they were the smartest band in the room......no contest.
Seen this show from the Royal Albert Hall, it aired live on HBO in 1983. I always thought and still do, that they are better than U2.
They are the band U2 aspired to be...
Yeah, like light years better. I pretty well learned just how out of balance the world was/is when I (simultaneously) watched U2’s meteoric ascendancy to megastardom, while Echo cranked out one superior, near-flawless album after another, to lukewarm record sales and until ‘87 here in the states at least, almost no mainstream radio play.

@@Shikta-poobah67 Yep, we are not alone
I would give anything to go back to this time
I think this is the best live video in the history of popmusic.
It is definitely one of the best live videos ever of music.
Fully agree! Do it clean!
Pop or otherwise.
Pop? Cmon

He actually says "Ta" (as in "Thanks"), not "I'm tired".
The first two mins of this clip are THE GREATEST LIVE BUNNYMEN PERFORMANCE!!!
But… what? The rest of it sucks?
@@Shikta-poobah67 Don't try to speak for me. I never said or implied the rest sucks. Go play somewhere else and play stupid.
This is the first Bunnymen thing I ever saw on MTV back in 1983........my mouth hit the floor! Diehard fan ever since!! :-)
Bunnymen at their absolute best.
Totally agree!!!!
They were at their best for about 5 straight years, from 1979 through ‘84.
What a voice mr. McCulloch!! So deep & loud.....His stage presence is mesmerizing!
OMG he starts doing James Brown at 3:10!
This whole concert is the band at their absolute zenith. I’m glad they never turned into another U2 stadium type outfit. They would have lost that touch they had. They were so tight as a unit.
I’ve always wondered who the kid playing guitar and wore shorts was????
Mike Mooney, he was the lead guitarist for Mac's solo career and i believe he played with Spiritualized too.
Wow that is a lot of views. This is my favorite version. Had it on cassette. Wore it out...
Not nearly as many as it deserves though for sure.
The fusion of this band is stark raving mad .this particular performance exemplifies their live capabilities...always some special sonic treat with these cat
I love so many of their songs and performances. But this live performance of this song is my all time favorite!!!
This is so powerful👌. I defenitively need to play this on the amplifier/ surround, as it sounds already so good on the telephone😮
Fan rushes the stage and Ian, he doesn't even miss a beat. Fights buddy off and keeps going. Absolute LEGEND

This version is a tad different than the one on the blue EP you are talking about I have it as well and it's brilliant.
Catch your shoe, the man in the back. Anyone remember that looped intro?
The version you are referring to is an edited version of this performance. I also remember saving my pennies for that purchase.
Diamonds are forever

Nothing like the machine that is Echo and the Bunnymen. Fan since the 80s.
I'd give anything to go back in time for this show and set.
Will it ever be like this for them again? Can you recapture the urgency of youth? the fearlessness?
Watching them live, is an Experience. Lyrics, are divine and powerful!
Amazing. I'm 17 again. Thanks!
When the 60s ended The Beatles passed the baton to Led Zeppelin, and at the end of the 70s they in turn handed it to Echo and the Bunnymen... 🐐🐐🐐
Hands down, this version of 'Do It Clean' is the greatest song ever recorded. I had it on the b side of their 12" 'Killing Moon' single. I've seen the video of this entire 1981 Royal Albert Hall show. It is absolutely amazing. They were dead on that night.
Tá ka gota Ian , segunda melhor banda de Liverpool , a primeira nem me lembro qual é….
July 18th 1983, Royal Albert Hall, London. I was there too. I got thrown out during this song. You can just about see it.

“ You can’t just shoot a man in the back, you can’t just shoot a man in the back!”
Ohh yeah...what a version of a song that was simply sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Played in the 80s and still relevant in the 2015 era!!
Best act of Mac and all Bunnymen. 1980
what an energy
the best live track... ever..
Will Sergeant. That’s how to do a fucking guitar solo.
Ian used to be very drunk at most shows in early days.
Took it for granted.
Got it together by 1994, realised the gift of his voice.
Has sounded great ever since.
This Is mesmerizing, incredible, What a POWER from the Bunnymen!!!!!
This was on the B side of The Killing Moon 12" I think. Remember hearing it for the first time and being blown away.
Still trying to get that Will Sergeant sound...
Certainly the best Bunnymen vid on RUclips. No doubt.
Saw them 2 years ago and they were as good as when I saw them in 1985.
Still got that 12 inch.
Saw them two nights in a row in bham on this tour.
Two of the best hugs I have ever seen.
The beautiful irony of this recording is that a bunch of (perceived) ruffians from the frozen North sold out the fucking Royal Albert Hall!
And used an orchestra.
In 1983 Thatcher land.

First time I heard this in 1984 was on the b-side of the Killing Moon 12” single ,I was blown away and still am...
Who remembers the 12” vinyl single?
Shit, this is choice. Thanks for posting.

First band I ever saw Live at Guildford Civic hall C. 1983 : happy happy days!
Last time I saw this video was in the 80's on 120 minutes...
This is really a retro 60s song I really love it thank you so much!
Albert Hall. A venue for greats.
Omg this version is so dam good!!!
Worlds apart from most of their other songs, this is heavier, has a haunting riff, and means serious business.
Video of this whole concert was up on the band's website about 5 years ago, but it's long gone from there now. I wish I had thought to download and save it then.
I have read the 'Uncool' book. Really interesting, and very well written. It made me seek out a lot of the songs which I'd never heard of - mostly U.K. hits which were never big in the U.S.

Yes this is the same version on the EP. I have it too! this is one of the best live versions of "Do it clean" ever recorded if not the best. See em' in LA Saturday! ya!!!
their finest moment... great stuff...
damn it looked like someone tried to tackle the frontman, good performance
I like how he elbows them in the stomach without missing a beat.
This vid was recommended to me by a robot when i said i like to listen to music when i clean... hahaha
Lol same here
Now you have the whole world of great music to discover
@TheMarrakeshRed John Peel was the man who, thanks to his radio show, got me into Echo, and I have vivid memories of getting into Psychedelic Furs, the Fire Engines and Orange Juice at around the same time, in 1981.

Pete, there, complete power.
Great version of how I remember it and still going strong. Great sound quality too, considering
