Echo and the Bunnymen Release Live Performance of 'Ocean Rain' on CD on May 30th; Play All Points West on August 2nd

Late last year, Echo & the Bunnymen played three shows (London, NYC and Liverpool) where they performed Ocean Rain in its entirety, backed by a multi-piece orchestra.

The band is releasing the Liverpool show (recorded 11/27/08) as a limited edition CD/DVD set on May 30th. The CD features the live performance of Ocean Rain with a ten-piece orchestra. The DVD features visuals of some of the classic band images that were projected at the show along with a 20 minute ‘behind the scenes’ documentary – with unseen footage (including rehearsals for the shows).

The box set is available through the bunnymen.com site and all copies will be autographed by Mac & Will. The first 1,000 copies ordered will be inscribed to a name of your choice.

Needless to say, cool and expensive often go hand-in-hand and this set is selling for £30.00.

Echo & the Bunnymen are playing the last day of the All Points West festival on Sunday, August 2nd. Festival tickets are $199 for a three-day pass and single-day tickets are $89.
