Ceremony vocals... ?

For what gig did Ian Mcculloch do vocals on Ceremony as an encore??

19th july 1986??

I just found the mp3 and didnt know the name of the gig and thought i'd see how quickly the answer would appear!

literally a matter of minutes! im impressed Chris :D

Didn't Ian sing quite extensively on the 1987 US tour? - around the time Bernard became ill through the stress of live gigs. A bunny rabbit was asked to step in to save the day.

Surprising - I have a gatefold collection of records obtained around '87 which has the gigs listed. It looks like an American promo for the bands, Jene Loves Jezzebell, NO, Echo and His Bunnymales inside a rather tasty looking package (aqua blue with large type on).

I'm pretty certain Ian sang on more than one occasion (most of the latter part of the trip in actual fact) - and I'm also fairly sure that Barney had a blow-out.

is the rumour about this tour true - that Bernard reportedly ended up in A&E with a mic stuck in his mouth?

Must confess, not heard that rumour before. I had lots of bootlegs from those gigs and don't remember much Bunnyman involvement. Perhaps there was a couple of jam'ed encores, not sure?

There was one jammed encore of the Velvet's "Run Run Run" after the Bunnymen set at Darien Lakes which featured both Barney and Mac on vocals - only Barney joined the Bunnymen on stage. No New Order gigs featured Mac on vocals, not even encores. I have the entire tour on tape (all that is available anyway, there's three missing I think, plus half of Jones Beach), and there's no Mac to be found on any of them.

haha, im getting paid extortionate amounts of money for this... ;)

I hear it was a mic AND a bottle of pernod rammed up his arse.....

....and that it was Hooky wot dun it.

There WAS an incident with a mic & Barneys mouth - Ian Mac' DID sing a few times on that tour and was shit - there is film of the GMEX gig where you can clearly see that he's reading the lyrics from a piece of paper and even then manages to fuck them up.

Darien Lakes??!! That's not only 2 1/2 hours from where I live, but I spent just about every summer of my young life there! I could've actually been within a mile of them! Imagine me being 4 years old, hearing "True Faith" in the distance, and being subliminally programmed for being a huge fan 15 years later ;)

Does anybody have this GMEX gig??? Had it on tape but like many other NO items i had, it's lost

What a shame...:(
