We POLL Our Audience: You, The Night and The Music - BAUHAUS - Love and Rockets, Tones on Tail, Peter Murphy etcetera - ILM artist poll number 73 - results thread

thanks for pointing that out, it still would not have made the Top 30. would have been 33.

i was away all weekend so missed this live. great stuff, thanks for doing it.

Didn't vote but those are good results! Thought the Third Uncle uncle was more loved. If I had voted it would've been my number 2 or 3.

I'm sad I missed the best part of the poll as it was happening, but I enjoyed catching up with the results just now.

Great Top 5 and I'm happy "Bela" wasn't #1. I love it but I find Bauhaus have done so much more than that first single, which is what they're always know for.

Surprised "Double Dare" wasn't Top 10. To me it represents the core of what Bauhaus was about, musically and lyrically. Amazing opener for a first album and it's also one of the heaviest songs I've ever heard.

I love all the songs in the top 20 except "Rosegarden Funeral" which is ok, but was never a stand out for me.

Shout out to the other person who voted for "The Man With the X-Ray Eyes"!

And thanks again Bee Ok for doing this, I had so much fun relistening to all those fantastic songs and albums. Reminded me how truly amazing and original this band was.

Surprised "Double Dare" wasn't Top 10. To me it represents the core of what Bauhaus was about, musically and lyrically. Amazing opener for a first album and it's also one of the heaviest songs I've ever heard.

OTM

so, apparently Peter Murphy along with David J on bass played in Anaheim last night and i didn't know about it. how did i not know about this? they are playing In the Flat Field in it's entirety for it's 40th anniversary. again how did i not know about this?

looking at set lists from recent shows, they are only playing Bauhaus songs with no Peter Murphy solo tracks.

you have no idea how much i'm looking forward to today's show. i have never seen Bauhaus since they broke up before i was into music but they became such an important band in my youth. even if that has more to do with Love and Rockets.

i can't believe i saw Bauhaus last night, sort of blew my mind

part two, going again tonight to see another Bauhaus set1

Yes, I'm going again this year:

but this time with all original member's, not just two as those early Peter Murphy shows were.

getting very excited for this show. turns out Bauhaus is only playing these dates in Los Angeles. i have no idea what to expect but so looking forward to this!

So how was it?

Interesting setlist. Per reports, three of these songs they hadn’t done since the original run (“Spy in the Cab,” “The Man Wirh X-Ray Eyes” and “The Three Shadows Pt 2”) and this is the first time they’ve covered “Sister Midnight,” a very appropriate choice:

“Bauhaus, Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA, 11/3/19

1. “Rosegarden Funeral of Sores” (John Cale cover)
2. “Double Dare”
3. “In The Flat Field”
4. “A God in an Alcove”
5. “In Fear of Fear”
6. “Spy in the Cab”
7. “Terror Couple Kill Colonel”
8. “Swing the Heartache”
9. “She’s In Parties”
10. “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”
11. “Kick In The Eye”
12. “The Man With the X-Ray Eyes”
13. “Stigmata Martyr”
14. “Silent Hedges”
15. “Dark Entries”

Encore:
16. “The Three Shadows, Part II”
17. “Sister Midnight” (Iggy Pop cover)
18. “Telegram Sam” (Marc Bolan cover)
19. “Ziggy Stardust” (David Bowie cover)”

i haven't gone yet, leaving right now however. will post a review tomorrow night.

my setlist was the same as what Ned posted from the night before but they also included "The Passion of Lovers" at last nights show. Automatic was the opening band and they are three women that are trying their best to be Stereolab but they were cool. the audience in Hollywood last night was older, they really didn't bring out the kids to the show, felt like i was seeing Neil Young or something. the band was very tight and felt like they have been playing on the road for months, hard to believe that this was only the second show. Peter Murphy didn't have any ill effects from his recent heart attack and sounded really, really good. they never said a word all night they just played their songs. first and probably last time i will see Bauhaus and it was a fun night. i was more of a Love and Rockets person, though over time i realize that Bauhaus was more of a statement band. i just identify with Love and Rockets more.

the winner of this very poll and i finally got to see it live:

it was sort of fitting that a David Bowie song ended the night, it's towers above all else:

here is "The Passion of Lovers"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8qFeYf3juI

last one as it might have been the most fun original:

Wow that’s a great set list!

for me being sent home for work has lead me down a rabbit hole of listening to songs on YouTube. music wise i'm having such a good time but life is just such a mess right now. anyways, this rabbit hole has lead me to this song right now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzBXj5NdgSc

i realize Bauhaus is the main band and get their legacy but i grew up with Love and Rockets and they just mean more to me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BERkLsJYe0

it has been just about a year ago that i saw Bauhaus for the first time in my life. now it seems it might be the last show i ever see? i hope not, but sort of ironic as i was too young to see them when they played together originally. in fact i probably didn't even know who they were until well after their breakup.

fun read and good reason to bump our poll:

David J's book is lovely and funny. Saw them in 2005 in Chicago, would go again in a heartbeat if they ever come back this way. Saudade is a personal fave.

Because they sort of copied my title (5 Motorcycles I Can’t Live Without: Daniel Ash of Bauhaus/Love and Rockets/Tones On Tail) or really just a sad excuse for a bump:

I'll be damned.

I came across this today, didn't even know Tones on Tail toured back in the day:
