As you've probably surmised from Neils review, if you're an existing fan and you weren't there on the night, this is going to be a bitter sweet treat.. You'll just have to take the rough with the smooth. Its worth it!
September 2008, end of a year of touring Mantaray and Siouxsie picks Koko for the end of term party..
Excellent venue, good set-up, good band, up for it audience, cracking set-list and Siouxsie looking divine, giving a top performance and obviously having a blast.
What a fantastic night! Captured brilliantly on this slick and polished (but not overly so) DVD.
The main content starts with a dapper Siouxsie heading out to the venue and then straight into the gig itself with her entrance, all sequins and iconic make up as she gently warms up the expectant audience with 'Follow You'. Then off comes the sequinned shroud and oh-baby don't she look good in those cat-suits.. A few flowers from the flower man, a quick quip and BANG, 'About to happen' ups the tempo and gives Koko's main floor a warning of the workout ahead. Deep Joy. Then the ultra recognisable opening jangle of Hong Kong Garden bounces off KoKo's walls for the first time in decades.. The lights come up on a parasol wielding Siouxsie and we are off again. Oh yes. Oh Yes. Oh YES.
And from there on it just gets better and better, a glorious, delirious mix of old and new. Dear Prudence, Israel, Christine, Right Now and a decent portion of JuJu complement the stonking Mantaray numbers.
Siouxsie looks magnificent throughout, sporting a tutu for Christine, swirling, bouncing, high kicking, swathed in black feathers for swansay and of course, those cat suits. Ding-a-*****-dong!
If I have to have a criticism it is that the audience is almost totally niced out of the sound mix - I know, I know, you want to hear Siouxsie not some idiot baying in the back, but can't these clever DVD bods come up with an audience slider? 0 - shhh library level through to 100 Singalongamoshpit?
Anyway, buy the disc, darken the room, break the vodka out of the freezer (and some water too, its a long set..) stick the DVD in, crank up the volume and let go!
Oh yeah.. If you are gutted you weren't there - remember the plus points:-
- You didn't have to pay £60 in cab fares because you missed the last train home
- You didn't spend half the gig wishing the person next to you had discovered rhythym/deoderant/breath freshener
- in between sets, when you are gasping for air, you're a lot less likely to accidentally inhale some girl (or guys) hair extensions..
Does that help?

ENGLISH:
- I find this DVD surprisely good. Not only for the good song selection, but also for a strong visual component. In this case all is about Siouxsie, showing more a female single side with a classical glam that only she can give on stage.
- Her companions are strong musicians that add to her music a "Cherry blossom" style with a classic sinister view. They can be very heavy and then so fresh with great new arrangements, this is a plus to all songs as well. Her voice is lowing and lowing with the years, with a low heavy and profound sound like "Marlene Dietrich." Row and direct (not for people that doesn't know about great music and great lyrics with a strong, cold and twist interpretation)
- I don't give the 5 starts but I give 4 because is good to see and heard Siouxsie with so much creativity and just heaving the pleasure of her presens on the stage with so strong songs with an only and unique form.
A woman on the stage for 102 minutes, only the power of great material.
- As a plus, DVD includes a mini documentary and an interview, with a great edition.
- I strongly recommend this DVD. And if you have also a 5.1 system sound and a big screen or a proyector... hum... The experience would be complete.
"is great the sensation to buy something that is in offer and see it at home and find it so good" ja!
SPANISH
- Debo decir con sorpresa que me gusto mucho este DVD, no solo por la selección de canciones, sino también por el componente visual, comparado con otras facetas de Siouxsie, en esta ocasión me gusto ver ese lado sensual y ese estilo que le impregno a algunas de sus antiguas canciones. Ella siempre ha dominado un lado glamoroso y la forma en que integra y afirma este factor en la actualidad es muy satisfactoria.
- Musicalmente la banda está muy bien, le dio un lado coqueto y siniestro a la vez. Se mueve entre pesados sonidos y melodías con arreglos frescos, eso le da un extra a las viejas canciones. La voz de Siousxie suena cada año más grave, con bajos al estilo "Marlene Dietrich."
¿Porque no 5 estrellas? Confesaré que estaba escéptico al adquirir este DVD, soy fan de Siouxsie desde 1988, antes no tenía ni un video de Siouxsie, aquí en México llega muy poco, y ahora que tengo tantos dvd's de ella, pues uno más esta de pensarlo. Las malas y buenas referencias influyeron para que no comparar este DVD, sino hasta ahora que estaba en oferta.
Que gusto da comprar algo en oferta y que resulte ser una gran satisfacción y no solo una compra obligada de un fan.
- Recomiendo ampliamente este DVD. Si tienes un buen sonido 5.1 en casa y una súper pantalla o proyector... la experiencia será completa.
El mini documental y entrevistas extras del DVD son una edición muy bien lograda.

I'm an obessive fan of Siouxsie since she started way back.
I have been to one of her Mantaray concerts in Manchester and she was excellent!!
I Hate to say this but am a little dissapointed with this DVD. She had a bit of a shakey start on her vocals but soon recovered to belt out the traditional songs....was hoping to see her sing different songs other than the same ones from her last DVD again so that was dissapointed.

I'm suspicious to talk about Siouxsie CDs/DVDs... I have them all and will buy anything she releases. In Finale, Siouxsie looks like she's younger than ever. So much energy! Read more
