Nocturne is a top-notch live double album recorded in 1983 at the Royal Albert Hall. The sound quality is first-rate and the band performs excellently here. The songs on this release run a wide chronological range, from early numbers like the Lennon/McCartney cover "Helter Skelter" (here given a fire-breathing performance) to their recent single of the time (another Beatles song), "Dear Prudence." Much of the material is culled from the group's recent releases: Juju, A Kiss in the Dreamhouse, and Kaleidoscope. This platter serves as an excellent, no-nonsense introduction to the band's music for neophytes, while fans of the group will appreciate the tight, gutsy, stripped-down performances....full text |

Nocturne is a live double-album by Siouxsie & the Banshees, released in 1983 and remastered in 2009, which features performances recorded at two shows at the Royal Albert Hall on September 30 and October 1, 1983, featuring Robert Smith (of The Cure) on guitar.
Most of the songs are from Juju and A Kiss in the Dreamhouse, with a couple of non-LP tracks ("Pulled to Bits" and "Eve White/Eve Black"). Also included is a live version of The Beatles' "Dear Prudence," a studio version of which the Banshees recorded earlier that year and released as a single. The single of "Dear Prudence" would be included on the U.S. version of their next studio album, Hyæna.
Its video version was released on DVD in 2006. Bonus features included the "Play At Home" TV special from 1983, "Dear Prudence" music video, and performances from The Old Grey Whistle Test....full text |
