''Nocturne'' is a live double-album by Siouxsie and the Banshees, released in 1983 and remastered in 2009, which featured performances recorded at two shows at the Royal Albert Hall on 30 September and 1 October 1983, featuring Robert Smith (of The Cure) on guitar. Most of the material came from ''Juju'' and ''A Kiss in the Dreamhouse'', plus a couple of B-sides ("Pulled to Bits" and "Eve White/Eve Black"). Also included was a live version of The Beatles' "Dear Prudence"; the Banshees had recorded and released a studio version of the song as a single earlier that year. A video version was released on DVD in 2006. Bonus features included the ''Play at Home'' TV special from 1983, the "Dear Prudence" music video and performances from ''The Old Grey Whistle Test''. The music heard at the introduction of "Israel" is "The Rite of Spring", composed by Igor Stravinsky. ==Background== The Banshees had already performed live with Smith on guitar in September and October 1979, when he and his band The Cure served as tour support for the Banshees. A friendship had started at the time between the members of The Cure and The Banshees. In late 1982, when guitarist John McGeoch left the band prior to the ''A Kiss in the Dreamhouse'' tour, Steven Severin asked Smith to join the band for the tour. With the September 1983 release of the "Dear Prudence" single, Smith became an official member of the Banshees; a few weeks later, they recorded this live album ''Nocturne'' in London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nocturne (Siouxsie and the Banshees album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
