If you want to see Bauhaus in thier prime get your hands on the U of
London show - very raw with early versions of Dancing and Poison Pen,
the light show was great and the energy was fantastic you can see the
punks all getting into it! I got the Target video version which
unfortunately has a stupid logo on it, but it's worth it!
I think the band blew a golden opportunity back in 98 when they were
selling out shows they should have kept going and put out a new
album, and kept touring. They were sure to get big! This last tour
seemed hastily put together and didn't seem to have much vibe so I
decided to not spoil my memories of 98.
You can tell the band is no longer active I hardly see any posts
here, and the DVD debacle was another missed opportunity. Gotham left
out the awe inspiring version of "Severance" as well.
