I have always enjoyed Echo and the Bunnymen shows but this one really stepped up as my favorite. They played the entire first 2 albums and didn't cheat us on time like many groups do nowadays. I will always highly recommend this group.

A few issues with the sound in the beginning but quickly resolved.
Nice to be so close to the stage and really see the band and their expressions since they love to play in the dark. The lighting was better this year than last year in Nokia Theater, that was just too dark. The back lighting worked in this environment.

The music was fantastic, but the visuals were AWFUL! I was blinded half the time with the lights shining out towards the crowd. Are they really that vain that they're worried what people may think about their looks?!

I have seen echo countless times over the past 20+ years. Ian is always a little bit unsteady but this time he seemed unable to handle it. We ended up leaving in the middle of the show, it just bummed us out. Too much mumbling, walking off the stage, and forgetting the lyrics. I felt bad for them.

First of all, they sounded great. Will Seargent was amazing! For most of the show, Ian seemed like he was playing the moody, detatched rocker... But then walked off the stage saying, "I just don't feel it" about halfway through the "Heaven Up Here" set. Thankfully they came out and played a two song encore before shutting down...

the band was great - Ian is a freaking rockstar and Will's psychedelic jams were absolutely stellar. my only complaint was the seizure inducing lights that were way over used. go to the concert but bring sunglasses with you.

Boring. That's all I can say. The venue was great, the crowd was great, the dj before the show was great, the sound was great, the band wasn't. The lead singer was way too high and just couldn't pull it off. Maybe I just expected too much just having been blown away by the Psychedelic Furs a couple of week before. If it hadn't been for that fact that I got to hang with one on my best friends the night would have been a total loss. We should have stayed downstairs at Puck's.

Almost exclusively played new stuff that nobody liked. People come to an 80's show to hear the songs they remember from the 80's! Not some new concoction that the band is pushing onto the audience. I looked around at the crowd during one of the many new songs and no one was moving, they looked sad and tired. As soon as one of the old songs came on, the whole place came to life! This was immediately followed by 5 new songs that instantly returned the crowd to a state of suspended animation!

Opening act was terrible, and wasn't expected--bill suggested it would just be Echo.

During Echo, every song had strobes and spot lights shining into crowd--blinded most of the time. At the same time, the band was always in shadows--never had a spot on them. Might as well have listened to them on the radio (they sounded great...)

very disappointed with the entire event. On stage 10:15pm and then off stage 10:55pm for a break? Back on again at 11:15pm. We ended up leaving at 11:45pm. Lighting was horrible, and the stage presence of lead singer Ian non-existent. It's always nice to see the guitarist but not in this venue with only back lighting. Ian tried to speak to the audience between songs - but could only mumble a few words. I had such high hopes for a revival set of old tunes we rocked to back in the early 80's. Honestly, I don't know what those guys were playing.

I'm biased in saying that "Heaven Up Here" is my favorite Echo & the Bunnymen CD and they played every song. Ian's voice isn't as powerful as it used to be. He wasn't as intense singing the song "Heaven Up Here" as previously, but the show still rocked.

Echo & the Bunnymen rocked Los Angeles at Club Nokia last night. The modern venue is part of LA LIVE, a vibrant downtown entertainment complex that includes restaraunts, bars and the Staple Center. Club Nokia holds 2300 patrons and, besides the standing room only main floor, has a VIP seated balcony.

We stayed at the Ritz hotel, which is connected to the complex. Convenience was the main factor as everything was within walking distance.

The band played their first two albums: "Crocodiles" and "Heaven up Here". They broke the gig into two parts performing the debut record in its entirety and then played 3 "hits" as a first half encore. After a short intermission, the same pattern was followed for the sophmore record with the last 3 encore tunes being "Lips like Sugar", "Killing Moon", and "The Cutter".

Lead singer Ian "Mac" McCulloch donned his trademark shades and smoked and drank incessantly proclaiming that he was uncharacteristically nervous. (This later proved to be true as he botched some lyrics and halted the band mid-song during a false start!)

Mac chatted up the packed crowd in his heavy Liverpoolian brogue and it seemed most of the audience understood only a small portion of what he was saying. Even though he claimed he was in a "jolly good mood", he still took shots at some loud fans that kept shouting song requests. His trademark nods to his idols during certain songs included him veering off course while crooning Bowie (Jean Jeanie), Velvet Underground (Walk on the Wild Side), and the Doors (Roadhouse Blues).

Guitarist Will Sargaent kept to his shoegazing, quiet self and the young backing band included a keyboardist that occasionally pounded on some Toms for extra tribal effect. The crowd had a nice mix of middle aged diehards and younger fans that were pretty enthusiastic, but not quite as engaged as Detroit fans can be. Hopefully, the band will return to the Motor City next time around and buck the trend of bands playing only Chicago and Toronto on the Midwest portion of their tour.

The Bunnymen did amazing renditions of their albums. The improvisation on Crocodiles brought back many great live memories of Bunnymen past shows. The one downer is the venue and the staff are on power trips. I will never go to Club Nokia again.

I am saddened and dishearten over the entire experience. The tickets and websites all said 8:00 pm show starts - there was not a opening act listed. I purchased VIP tickets arrived early and waited nearly an hour and a half - to no avail they did not show. We finally left at 9:30 after hearing Kelley ? do not remember his last name - start at 9:00 - lack of energy - songs a 3 on a scale of 10 - I was tired of waiting. I thought it was extremely rude of the wait - maybe to get people in - The room was full of crickets at 8:30 am. Our assumption - they just kept waiting for people to show up.

Maybe if I knew they were coming on at 10 or later - I would have showed up at that time - such a huge dissappoinment and waste of time.
