Siouxsie & The Banshees Metal Postcard (Old Grey Whistle Test 7/11/1978)



Siouxsie does her thing in fab thigh high boots in these clips from 1978.



I loved that first album so much. I saw The Banshees at the famous Whiskey-A-Go-Go in 1980.  They were great and Siouxsie was a thousand times prettier and more striking in person.  Since I don't remember what she wore on her feet that night, I'm guessing it wasn't these boots. They were playing again the next night and we went into Hollywood, but they were sold out. We spent the ticket money on booze & pills and had the most amazing night of my then 19 years.  I think I spent the next 10 years chasing that kind of fun. And each year the fun kept getting harder to find and the wreckage kept building.
