Review: Another live album, another catchy title. By the time Northampton-born Bauhaus took to the stage at London's Hammersmith Palais it was all nearly over. First forming as Bauhaus 1919, referring to the first year the eponymous German art school was fully operational, between 1978 and 1981 they enjoyed significant success with a string of chart-topping (or near enough) albums, but illness leading to an ever-widening internal rift which would lead to their dissolution. In many ways Rest In Peace: The Final Concert (Live At Hammersmith Palais, London 1983) is the final throes of a great band that pushed post punk, avant-art-gothic-tinged-rock into new territories, and it's a great last will and testament. Infinitely infectious and always forward-thinking, while reunions and reboots have pockmarked the decades between this and now, we can't help but lament what was.
