Echo and The Bunnymen - The Puppet

The other day I had the great pleasure of watching “Urgh! A Music War” which features some of the best bands of 1980 playing live at various venues around the world.  This clip is one of the best performances, but it was hard to choose which one to post because they are all amazing.  The fashion, the sounds, the style.  Awesome.

You can order the DVD direct from Warner Brothers (recommended) or watch a ton of clips on lo-fi quality YouTube.
