The band are back for two nights in the city
Formed in Liverpool in 1978, Echo & The Bunnymen have been responsible for some of the most celebrated singles over their now 40+ year career. One of the most influential bands to hail from the city and Britain, the group have had twenty top 20 hits and nine top 20 albums in their long career since their debut, Crocodiles, in 1980.
Then there was my dad and I, who were lucky enough to be seeing the band for the second time, after first seeing Echo & The Bunnymen open for The Rolling Stones at Anfield Stadium in 2022. Echo & The Bunnymen's last studio album, The Stars & The Oceans & The Moon was released in 2018 - but the night saw them revisit their catalogue of incredible music still loved decades on.
Saluting the crowd as he walked on, McCulloch, as cool as ever, said 'hello Liverpool' before diving straight into Going Up and All That Jazz from their debut album. Moving seamlessly from one song into another, only a few words were mumbled in between songs to the crowd throughout the night and at some times it was hard to make out.
At one point, the band also played a new song, with frontman Ian telling the crowd "sing along if you know it - but you shouldn’t." Concluding the first half of the set was Bring On the Dancing Horses, a real crowd pleaser, before the band took a 20 minute break, with hits like Blondie's Heart of Glass and M's Pop Muzik playing over the PA while the audience got ready for part two.
It's the track that everyone waits for and to see it be performed in Liverpool - 40 years on from its original release - is a moment I will never forget. As soon as the opening riff was played, the energy from the fans was unbelievable. What came next was two encores - and if you can't do it in your home city, when can you. First up was The Cutter and then when the band returned on stage for the second time, they concluded with the iconic Ocean Rain.
