In 1989 at New York's Irving Plaza, a benefit concert took place to help raise legal-defense funds for art critic and curator Carlo McCormick after he was tossed into a Mexican jail. The Psychedelic Furs played 5 songs. The band was a stripped down 3-piece of Richard Butler (vocals), John Ashton (acoustic guitar) and Knox Chandler (cello and acoustic guitar).

One night I went there: icepickphil

While discovering those delightful acoustic versions on youtube, I took pictures of the computer screen with my iPod and applied Photoshop image treatment filters.
