This is Trents personal review of the first Chicago show. Pure Jigsaw Feeling Cascade Metal Postcard Tenant Christine Lullaby Lands End Cities in Dust I Could Be Again Icon (after this song Sioux does her "golf swing" tirade) Night Shift Voodoo Dolly --- Pulled to Bits Drop Dead/Celebration --- Spellbound ( about 20 secs. into this song a security guard "crosses" Sioux) Blue Jay Way (The Beatles) I was very very excited to learn that Siouxsie and The Banshees were feeling the itch after 7 years to take their show in the road again.  As soon as the dates were announced plans began to take shape for me to make the 4 hour drive to Chicago, Illinois (as I am from Detroit, Michigan).  I arrived at the Vic Theatre at about 7:10 c.s.t. and waited outside with the other faithful to be let into the venue....in a t-shirt and shorts....in 30 degree rainy, windy weather!   Once we were let in I was *very pleasantly* surprised that we were allowed to bring in small cameras!  Had I known this I would have brought rolls of film.  The opening band, eX-girl, put on a very entertaining show......I'm sure Budgie and Sioux are big fans as Budgie was wearing a baby-doll eX-girl sleeveless shirt.   Then it was time for the Banshees to come out.  The lights went down, the music to 'Pure' played and the place went wild!  Sioux looked amazing!  Her red glitter eyelashes and bloodred lipstick made her look like the goddess that she is.  I don't care what *anyone* says, her hair was beautifully stylish.......the woman can do no wrong.   The set played on and it struck me that this could have been a SATB show in 1985......it was like being back in time.  I was too young to see SATB when they were in their prime (throughout the 80's) and felt very fortunate to be able to witness these songs live.  'Metal Postcard' and 'Christine' sent me into mild hysterics......had they played 'Red Light', 'Overground' or 'Psychic' I would have died on the spot!  The highlight of the show, for me, was 'Drop Dead/Celebration'.  I never dreamed in my lifetime I would get to hear this song performed live.  'Cities In Dust' had the whole place singing along with the band.   There has been a lot of talk about what happened with the security guard and I was right up front and the whole incident happened right in front of me and here's how it went:   [I was left of stage in full view of the whole incident, much to my pleasure]  Siouxsie made it very clear that she didn't want the security guards to walk in front of the stage.  After 'Icon' she stopped the show to tell the security guards that the front of the stage (between the stage and the barricades) was "not a fucking Catwalk" and if they continued to walk back and forth she was going to take off one of their heads with her mic stand.  She said she needed practice for her golf swing anyway (then she made a golf swinging motion).  She told us the best way was to use heads.  During the second encore, approx. 20 secs. into 'Spellbound', one of the dip-fucks, did indeed, walk across the stage and she just got pissed.  The music played on but she stopped singing, walked over to where he was (far left of stage) and kicked him in the back twice with the very sharp-looking heel of her very stylish shoe (she never hit him with her hands or her microphone).  He kept glowering at her and she said "What?  What?  Do you want to take this outside?"    Severin threw down his bass but not because of the security guard (it was previously reported that he too was upset with the actions of the security crew.  I believe he got upset because the guitar tech did not tune his bass correctly).  He *did* see the security guard in question talking to other security guards and walked over to him and put his foot on his shoulder while continuing to play (I believe still during ''Spellbound').  This seemed to piss him off even further.   After the show was over, Sioux's "people" came over to the guard and were talking in his ear (apparently trying to smooth things over) to which he replied out loud "I don't care I want her arrested!"   After that we were pushed out and away from the front near the stage and that's all I heard there.   While waiting outside for Sioux to come out (which she didn't) I saw the security guard and his other security guard friends walking out of the venue and I heard one of the others say to him "I can't believe you let it go....I would have pressed charges."  And that's about how the whole drama thing came to an end.   The show was an amazing one!  Siouxsie and each of the Banshees were in fine form (though Knox did look like he was having a little trouble) and I hope they continue to tour.  It was a very special night indeed!
