Bauhaus close reunion run with rare cover of brian eno's 'third uncle'

Goth rock pioneers play _Sky's Gone Out_ opener live for first time since 1998 On Sunday, goth rock legends Bauhaus played their third and final reunion show at the Hollywood Palladium

in Los Angeles — and they closed it with their first performance of Brian Eno‘s “Third Uncle” in 21 years. Bauhaus’s rendition of “Third Uncle” opened their 1982 album, _The Sky’s Gone Out_,

and per Slicing Up Eyeballs, the last time the band played it live was during a 1998 tour stop in Portugal (prior to that, they hadn’t played it since 1983). In a fan-shot video from the

Sunday gig, Bauhaus tore through the track with blown-out guitars and frontman Peter Murphy bellowing the lyrics as he pounded away on a pair of bongos. TRENDING STORIES Bauhaus launched

their short reunion run last month with a pair of shows November 3rd and 4th, also at the Hollywood Palladium. While the band has not scheduled any more shows together, Murphy is set to play

a handful of solo gigs in January 2020. Bauhaus originally formed in 1978 and split after the release of their 1983 album, _Burning From the Inside_. They reunited twice, first in 1998,

then again in 2005, and the latter led to a new LP, 2008’s _Go Away White —_ although the group disbanded again before they could tour in support of the record. Bauhaus’ three Los Angeles

this year shows marked their first live performances in 13 years.
