The Wild Swans Live in the Philippines

Liverpool Legendary, The Wild Swans concert held at One Esplanade was a blast. They sang tracks from the "Bringing Home The Ashes - 1988", "Space Flower - 1990" and "The Coldest Winter in a Hundred Year - 2011" albums. Lastly they sang "Whatever Possessed You" which was released by "Care" which of course as the same vocalist. Sadly it ended with the song and the crowd eagerly request for the "Flaming Sword" but I guess 15 songs are too much but as promised, they will be back next year.

The promoter flashed the upcoming concert event, "Modern English back to back with The Icicle Works" will be in the Philippines sometime January next year - More power to you guys!

Echo & The Bunnymen - Live In Liverpool (2002)

Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant shaped Echo & the Bunnymen's dreamy post-punk into something timeless. Their 1997 reincarnation sparked new life for the band, and McCulloch and Sergeant have maintained their strong appeal of passionate rock & roll. On a live setting, they're charming and their first proper live album, Live in Liverpool, proves that. The duo have a weird musical madness together, and they're comfortable with it. The two night stint captured August 2001 at Paul McCartney's Liverpool of Performing Arts, McCulloch's romantic brood and Sergeant's riveting guitar work are at its best. It's a merry collection of cult classics ("Seven Seas," "The Killing Moon," "Never Stop") and new material ("SuperMellow Man," "Eternity Turns"), but a homage to the band itself. The psychedelic bombast of "All That Jazz" is slick and savvy. Songs from the Crocodiles album take on that tone, but with a signature lust and a sneaky intensity. "Over the Wall" brings that side of the band to the forefront. In a live setting, it's eerie and alluring. "Rescue" and "The Cutter" soar with lush guitar riffs and McCulloch's warm vocals illustrate something primitive. "Nothing Lasts Forever," from 1997's Evergreen, is a sweet sign of age, but it's also graceful. McCulloch and Sergeant are fond of what Echo & the Bunnymen have become. Two nights churning out fan favorites and band mainstays in their hometown makes it much sweeter.
