1994 - Cocteau Twins - Universal Amphitheatre

 

What an amazing show this was.

Went with Ron.  

It was Easter Sunday.

Such a magical band to hear on this day.

I will never forget looking at Ron at one point during the show 

and he had his hands on his head in amazement!  

Their stage set up was long gauzy curtains with fog and lights

creating shadows so you never really saw them at all.

It was all atmosphere.

And so wonderful.

Opening band was Luna whom Ron and I both love.

One of my favourite things to do is to try to get the

set-list from the show and I got Luna's.  

Here is the Cocteau Twins set list-

Pur / Heaven or Las Vegas / Pitch the Baby / Carolyn's Fingers / For Phoebe Shall a Baby / Evangeline / Whales Tales / Lorelei / Road River and Rail / Bluebeard / Summerhead / Iceblink Luck / Blue Bell Knoll / Cico Buff / Aikea-Guinea / Ella Megalast Burls Forever / Pink Orange Red / Sugar Hiccup / Crushed / Cherry-Coloured Funk

I found an article in the L.A. Times previewing the show- 

At the Cocteau 'Cafe' : Scottish trio's latest album reflects a turbulent period of personal growth. Southland gig begins Sunday at Universal Amphitheater.

While "Four Calendar Cafe" only reached No. 78 on the national pop charts after its November release, it has so far nearly matched its predecessor with sales of more than 200,000 in the United States--and Capitol plans to promote the album for at least several more months. On their last tour, the Twins played the Wiltern Theatre, and their move up to the 6,000-seat Universal Amphitheatre reflects the band's growing commercial base.  The current tour--their first since 1990--will also be their first with a full band. Having previously relied on sequencers to reproduce the full sound of their albums, the band is now touring with two more guitarists, a percussionist and a drummer.  "I used to be completely paranoid about live performance," said Raymonde about the Twins' decision to tour with a full band. "I wish we'd done it before because it sounds so much better."What can you lose? Maybe we'll bring some other musicians on a record one day. You've got to be open-minded about these things. You don't really get anywhere unless you change."

* The Cocteau Twins and opening act Luna appear Sunday at the Universal Amphitheatre, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, (818) 980-9421. $20 and $25. 8:15 p.m.; Tuesday at Symphony Hall, 1245 7th Ave., San Diego. $22.50.

And if you can find it, maybe on YouTube, they played the Tonight Show w/Jay Leno the week after this show and did Bluebeard.

I may have the wrong set list up, so here is my other Luna one. One of these is correct!
