Echo and the Bunnymen Simple Stuff Bill Butts Original Promo 1981 ThenBunnymen lighting engineer Bill Butts, rough and ready promo for the Bside of the bands 1980 single, Rescue. The footage was shot on the 1981 Heaven Up Here tour the first UK leg of which began at Nottinghams Rock City, 40 years ago tonight, April 24th 1981. The quality is far from HD, but if you are a fan of the band during the era as I am, this glimpse into the Heaven Up Here tour is special. During the Porcupine era, Bill Butt would direct several Bunnymens music videos, and then later the legendary, but unreleased KLF movie The White Room. Seemingly the Simple Stuff promo was only to be found on a few copies of the 1982 home video release of Shine So Hard, Le Via Luonge. This copy originates from a VHS bought directly from Bill Butt himself, back in the day. And we must extend huge thanks to DE for sharing it with us. The quality here isnt the best, but then we have to considering that our source is a 40
