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.
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
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❤❤❤
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.

I saw them the first time around 1980. Still listening to them at 54 :)
Hands down, this version of 'Do It Clean' is the greatest song ever recorded.
This was a raw ballsy performance, I don't care what you say it's just ripped my face off
Petes drumming on this is awesome

Wow!The Bunnymen back then were really something
'When we were kings'. Simply the best band of the 80's. Thank you Echo and the Bunnymen for making my life better.
Outstanding
Diamonds are forever
When the Bunnymen arrived....they knew they were the smartest band in the room......no contest.
Drums are another level!
What a voice mr. McCulloch!! So deep & loud.....His stage presence is mesmerizing!
Seeing their live shows then and comparing it to their performances of late -- the difference lies in the energy. They're having fun here.
Wow that is a lot of views. This is my favorite version. Had it on cassette. Wore it out...
I love so many of their songs and performances. But this live performance of this song is my all time favorite!!!
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.
This is the first Bunnymen thing I ever saw on MTV back in 1983........my mouth hit the floor! Diehard fan ever since!! :-)
