Taking it back to Jove

Exhibit A on why Echo and the Bunnymen are the most underappreciated of the major post-punk bands of the 1980s:



That would be the Bunnymen performing the awesome single "The Back of Love" in Liverpool for the BBC series Pop Carnival in 1982. Ian McCulloch used to be able to sing the hell out of a song, as he does here. Too bad the official music video is not on Youtube, because then you could hear how awesome the recorded version of the bridge section is.
