All this led to me falling down a rabbit hole looking at what other #Rockpalast gold was hiding in there.

Sure enough, there are a few! One of which is buried in a veritable treasure trove of high-quality #SiouxieAndTheBanshees #concert footage. Pure joy. INTO MY NAS YOU GO https://archive.org/details/00-siouxsie-and-the-banshees-at-the-bbc/Siouxsie+And+The+Banshees+Video+Anthology/

Cities In Dust

"Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust

Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes
And oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend... "

Siouxie and the Banshees - Nocturne

1983 at the Royal Albert Hall - Siouxie and the Banshees had lost guitarist John McGeoch to various issues, and he was replaced by…

Robert Smith of the Cure, who was in two bands at once. (Three if you could The Glove.)

This is a very well recorded live album, given a new mastering for RSD24. Lots of emphasis on Severin's bass.

(The cover of Dear Prudence was a big hit.)
