Echo & the Bunnymen’s dark, swirling fusion of gloomy post-punk and Doors-inspired psychedelia brought the group a basketful of British hits throughout the ’80s, while attracting a sizeable cult following in the United States. BREAKING THE BACK OF LOVE is a celebration of their nearly 25 years together capturing the group’s most brilliant moments. Touring in support of 2005′s Siberia, Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant are spot-on throughout this 12-song set at Shepherds Bush Empire in London. Lead singer McCulloch’s signature swagger still captures the urgency and poetry of Jim Morrison while Sergeant whose musicianship has improved vastly over the years shines throughout the set. An essential collection for those who have witnessed the splendor of Echo live and a needed document of their great repertoire.
