June, 1983
Echo and the Bunnymen
Boston, Massachusetts, United States; The Channel
NOTES: "They played a single (long) set in June 1983 (forget the exact date). 'Never Stop' wasn't out yet stateside but the band was configured for the Discotheque version sound - besides the original four they had another guitarist, percussion player, and violin player. Set included 'My White Devil' with xylophone solo intact from the studio version. Opener was 'Going Up', cut off midway (right after 'going down!') and segue-ing right into 'A Promise' - total magic. Opening band was Limbo Race. Rumor afterwards had it this was one of two shows the band played on this tour - supposed to be 7+ cities but they scrapped it because of poor audience reception. Hard to believe anybody would have thought this because of the Boston show." - Bunnymen.com forum post. The setlist also included "Heroin" and "Porcupine".

NOTES: "I'm pretty sure the first time I ever saw them live was on this swing, when they played the Roseland Ballroom in NYC. I don't recall a poor reception in that club either. Alan Vega and Nash the Slash were the openers. Billy Idol was in the crowd to see Alan Vega …. They got off to a bumpy start as Pete de Freitas broke two consecutive drum heads at the beginning of the opener, but they were on fire after that." - Seven Seas email list post, August 8th, 2005

NOTES: The Bill Drummond-plotted 'Ley Lines Tour' began in New York, proceeded to the Outer Hebrides by way of Iceland and Denmark, and then wound a rabbit-shaped path through Britain, finishing up with two triumphant nights at the Royal Albert Hall. This itinerary was either brilliant or idiotic, depending on who you ask.
July, 1983
Echo and the Bunnymen
Reykjavik, Iceland;
NOTES: "I was bored with the pat socio-economic account of Liverpool music so I made up all this bullshit about ley lines that started in Iceland -- where I spent 3 months in 1970 -- that came whopping through space and hit the world at Matthew Street. It all tied in with Jung calling the city 'the Pool of life', and Liverpool FC's position as the best team in the world." - Bill Drummond, VOX, A RUNE WITH A VIEW, September, 1992,

NOTES: "I remember when we played Portree on one of the islands, all the Bunnymen fans were camped out. It was like an invading army. They were still all camo'd up so it was like army manoeuvres." - Will Sergeant, CRYSTAL DAYS commentaries, 2001. Guitarist Mike Mooney joined the stage line-up at this point, and a few shows later, the ranks swelled to nine, including strings player Adam Peters.

I took as my starting point Steve Doughty's excellent and comprehensive Bunnymen Recordings site, and have filled in gaps using the Seven Seas Archive (which went back to January 1st, 1999 at the time I copied it all into text files), as well as the various other web pages and articles cited in my listings. This is still very much a work in progress. I have received a good deal of help from members of the Seven Seas and Bunnymen.com communities -- thank you all!
