Hey Ken - I have a copy of "What Bob Dylan did not for me" which I would like to share. You can pay me with a Guiness next week !

I never thought that I would see Echo and the Bunnymen mentioned in this forum.
Sulis I don't know if you live in the area but Macca and the boys have a gig in Liverpool on Friday 15th December at the Carling Academy. If by any chance you are attending the gig and need putting up for the night or wish to meet up let me know. I have good contacts with the promoters and could always get you a ticket if you already haven't got one.
For the those that don't know Echo and The Bunnymen these boys are by
far the best group that has ever emerged from the city of Liverpool, and that includes the flipping Beatles.
Despite recording a couple of LC songs I've yet to hear the boys sing any LC material live.
Then again I've never been there when Bob Dylan sang Restless Farewell live.
Most of you will have perhaps come across the mighty Ian McCulloch through the BBC documentary 'What Leonard Cohen Did For Me' when he sang a wonderful version Of Suzanne. In the very same programme another Liverpulian and neighbour of mine Kathryn Williams who after declaring her wish for carnal knowledge, in true crude Liverpool style, of Leonard then gave a very personal version of Hallelujah.
I have a copy of the 'What Leonard Cohen Did For Me' programme somewhere. If you want a copy let me know.
Ta Ken
According to this site there is a live only cover of Leonard Cohen's "The Partisan" by Echo and the Bunnymen.
