To celebrate this unique live album Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin have overseen a new direction of the already iconic artwork, 16 tracks taken from those two nights over the 30th September and 1st of October 1983, a new gatefold sleeve, printed inners and few extra surprises to discover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Royal Albert Hall performances would see Sioux on vocals, Severin on bass guitar, Budgie – drums and Robert Smith (of the Cure) who at the time was a full time member of Siouxsie and the Banshees on guitar. Over the two nights the Banshees would play two different set lists, the songs making up \u003ci\u003eNocturne\u003c\/i\u003e are hand picked by the band as their ideal setlist from the two gigs. With songs taken from \u003ci\u003eJuju\u003c\/i\u003e, it also features a few B-sides and live performances of Beatles covers Helter Skelter and Dear Prudence. The music heard in the introduction before “Israel” is an excerpt from The Rite of Spring, composed in 1913 by Igor Stravinsky Nocturne was lauded for its no-nonsense introduction to the band’s music for neophytes, while fans of the group will appreciate the tight, gutsy, stripped-down performances. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMR","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":51088632021323,"sku":"2181497","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Siouxsie_and_the_Banshees_-_Nocturne_RSD_2024_-_Packs_ae6d56ed_thumbnail_409.jpg?v=1736863931"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/siouxsie-and-the-banshees-1.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
