We've seen so many bands born during the punk years, drifting and drowning...Wire keeps their standards high...intact sound, genuine spirit...Rarely seen a band keeping up with such consistency and quality...A lighthouse to me of a certain era...influence for others underestimated band by so many ways
Spot on dude!
Wire... Switched on...Love This band so much..Never cease to amaze me..Saw them twice..Seen the best such as Rory Gallagher but Wire will always be my favourite band out of everybody..
many thanks , fans around the world appreciate this video
Thank you so much to post this
Robert Grey is Robert Gotobed woohoo fucking great drummer.
Thanks for filming and uploading. I had really hoped to be at this show.
Hyperbubble were in the audience at this show, and man!!! ...Wire were so very very very very excellent. Thank you for the memento! It looks and sounds good. Who would have imagined this event would have ever happened? One of the best bands ever, all the way from London, live in Marfa. The show was great, and so are you for sharing your video.
They are the best

@Cameron Rekunyk they played "three girl rhumba"
@Cameron Rekunyk I believe in the early 80s they catergorically decided to never play their back catalogue. I think we should be grateful they reneged on this. Also, they have so much music that is not their 70s work.
I really wanna see their pink flag live videos. I cant find mannequin, ex lion tamer, 12xu!
Thought about flying/driving to that show from Dallas.
Kool Version of "AHead"..."WIre"..inadvertently incredible improv. Artist ...much like a Biologist inserting alien cells into pre-existing stem cells.." that is their approach..and their genius
"Get stoked for Wire", bro.
A superb Wire lyric out of context.
Why don’t they play much of Pink Flag, and I want to know what albums these songs are off, so if I see them, I can listen to the songs and know them.
They very, very, very, very rarely play early material, or even material from more than a couple of albums back. Since the early days, Wire have always been about evolution -- they don't wish to look back, but to keep moving forward from album to album.
For a while they actually had a cover band play the hits from PF, CM, and 154 as their opening act, before they played.
Lots from Wire's most recent album "Silver/Lead". HIGHLY recommended. It's astonishing that the band are at the top of their game this many years on, as evidenced by this album
I hear you on the Pink Flag. They do actually play it, once in its entirety because its so iconic. However..... The Ideal Copy (1987) is one of the best Wire albums. Bruce Gilbert has said in interviews that it's his favorite.
Songs from that album are at the start and end of this set. Wire has always demonstrated mastery of rock band irony, by defying expectation. They finally got around to playing Ideal Copy songs again after more than 25 years of not doing so at all. At this point (in 2017), it was right when anyone, even mega Wire buffs such as myself, had given up wishing for it. Ha ha!
@@Jorenanthony personally, I find the album A Bell is a Cup even better. Fantastic..
anyone know which song on 9.50 ?
Son 23.11 Hard Club Oporto - 24.11 RCA Lisboa
Colin really shouldn’t have freaked out so previously during fishes
Is that the original drummer?
Yes Robert Grey previously named Robert Gotobed in the early years
Wire takes stage at 3:06

i realy love this band.. but man they cant play live.. saw them two years ago i think.. was realy boring
I've seen them live and thought they were fantastic. Robert Christgau, who's probably seen thousands of shows, noted that the 2002 show supporting Send was the "best rock show I'd seen in years." So you've your opinion; everyone's got one.
Agree. Brilliant band, but not a good live experience. They certainly don't go for give the people what they want.
@@gusklimt2031 yes have got it and its great.
@Qwfwq66 No. I get it.
I agree, I saw them earlier this year and they were incredibly boring. I don't mind that they don't play all the 'hits', in fact I respect that they're playing their new stuff and stuff they want to play. The thing I didn't like was their lack of enthusiasm - audiences feed off the energy of a performer, that doesn't necessarily mean they have to be playing fast punk rock or hardcore to feel enthralled, it means that they have to have passion when performing live, which Wire did not. Apparently in the 70's they were one of the most fantastic live bands you could see.
Ugh, Wire's mullet habit. Colin looks like Graham did in 1982. And that's not good.
It's just not the same without Bruce gilbert. Not even close.
His choice.
Lame. Just listen to 'Pink Flag', 'Chairs Missing' & '154' Albums.
Decades in the game and staggeringly average.
Who do you prefer? IOW, who isn't "average" today? Choices today seem sparse to me. I like Fat White Family and The Joy Formidable (at times); who am I missing that's better than what Wire has been doing the last fifteen or so years (from Send on)?
I was deeply regretting not being able to attend their concert a few months back, but this sounds very flat to me. Maybe it's the recording...?
