Echo & the Bunnymen - Dancing Horses DVD Review

The band is not into stage antics; rather they go about their business of creating a lush soundscape for singer Ian McCulloch. McCulloch is barely animated, standing riveted to the stage in front of his microphone for the entire concert save an occasional walk to where his drink is stashed. Yet McCulloch has an incredible stage presence; wearing his shades and taking well-timed puffs of his cigarette, coolly delivering his lines and being in the moment like nothing else matters, he embodies the essence of rock'n'roll front man as envisioned by Lou Reed. He knows he's masterful, too; it's obvious he's not kidding when he introduces the show closer, "Ocean Rain," as "the best song ever." You could say it's a shame that these guys never really impacted these shores but the fact is they are here with this offering now and it's outstanding.
