Finale: The Last Mantaray & More Show is a live DVD by Siouxsie, released in 2009. It is the last show of the Mantaray and More Tour, which took place on 29 September 2008 at London's KOKO in Camden. [1] Siouxsie said: "We were thinking of filming in South America but that got pulled right at the last minute". That's when she decided they had got to have a document of the show, the band and how she was feeling onstage, "because all the concerts had been going so well". "So I decided to put in a one off show at Koko and film it". [2]

The DVD includes music from her bands Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Creatures, and songs from her critically acclaimed Mantaray album. [3] [4]

It also features two cover versions only performed on the tour, the Doors's "Hello, I Love You" and Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", plus a rendition of Basement Jaxx's "Cish Cash", which Siouxsie co-composed and sang in 2003.

Siouxsie began the concert telling the audience a Bette Davis line from the film All About Eve : "Fasten up your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night". [5] She hadn't played at Koko since 1977, it was before she was signed; the venue was called the "Music Machine" back then. [1] The intro tape heard at the beginning of the DVD - which had also been used at all the concerts of the tour, was an excerpt of the soundtrack for the movie For a Few Dollars More composed by Ennio Morricone for the scenes with the watch.
