I'd have put it on the "Wire Box" thread but etc.

Whenever I need cheering up I play "Too True", it has me in stitches every time!

Mary Is A Dyke! Just Don't Care! Glad All Over!

Is the first gig with George Gill on guitar? Can't remember if he left pre or post-Roxy.

He's not on it.

Oh, ta!

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

Actually yes, he'd be in The Bears by then.

You compared: their version of "After Midnight" with JJ Cale's.
You Will: compare their version of "Glad all over" with the Rezillos'.

This makes me very happy indeed, even though I'm only really interested in the '78 gig. I still play the On The Box DVD regularly, too.

I have a video copy from way back.

Fav bit: When Colin starts into "Former Airline" with his face on.

Wait a minute - this new thing - I thought it was a DVD. It's not is it? *cries* I don't know why I thought that. I'm so sad. I want another Wire DVD, damnit. Okay I'm going to see what my friendly bootleg video dealer has now. Fuck this shit.

It seems George Gill wrote "Mary is a Dyke" and "TV", so he's on it in spirit.

Oh, and that "Pay Attention, We're Wire" was an edit of two different intros!

.. and neither was to "Lowdown", as per the EMI "Live at the Roxy" album.

Chicanery!

Also, it's so strange to have an almost identical take of "12XU" that's not dedicated to Lou Paneda (instead it's "This is our single, and it's called....")

I found out that a friend of mine is working with Colin N on an electronic project the other day - something to do with an art exhibition. I think they should do a new version of Mary Is A Dyke.

Chicanery!

I imagine they got preferential treatment because Mike Thorne was so enamoured of them

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Friday, 10 November 2006 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

I imagine they got preferential treatment because they were signed to EMI!

"This is our single" indeed!
