That looks like a great time.

[El Chupacabra]

Echo and the Bunnymen canceled last minute, but rest of the lineup is intact.

Bauhaus!

That was excellent. Hot! 94* high in Pasadena yesterday.

Christian Death
English Beat
Missing Persons
Cold Cave
Gene Loves Jezebel
Violent Femmes
PiL
The Damned
Devo
Bauhaus (highlight of the whole festival for me)
Blondie
Morrissey (for a few minutes, then listened while walking a long way around to exit and get to where we parked)

[Core Shot]

Holy shit that’s a great blast from the past lineup.
It’s a fucking time machine!

How was Bauhaus and what was the setlist like?

Was it the original 4?

Daniel Ash has been yakking on sirius all week about the Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/ Love and Rockets life.

[El Chupacabra]

Bauhaus was fantastic. All four original members. Ash is a seriously underrated guitarist.

Set list, going from memory, probably not in total right order:

Double Dare, In the flat field, Terror Couple kill colonel, Kick in the Eye, Rose garden funeral of sores, Bela Lugosi, She's in parties, Silent hedges, Passion of lovers, Stigmata martyr, Dark entries, Ziggy Stardust

[Djongo Unchained]

Thanks Chup, that's cool. Silent hedges is a favorite amongst all of those cherries.

If this had more dates and/or was closer, I'da made it. Lotsa solid tunes at that gig.
