Wire Rollcall

[terry]

Wire is an early show. Depending on how long they play, you may be able to catch the last part of the Wedding Present. I LOVE the Wedding Present, they put on a great show.

Ms. P, it's doable. WP won't start til 10:30 (doors open at 9 pm now, opener at 9:30). I'm tempted

I'm a HUGE fan of both Wire and the Wedding Present, so I was torn between seeing both for so long, but I just decided to go with Wire, since, y'know... they're old.   :p

[Christine Moritz]

I'll be there.

[teepo]

any have any idea how setlists have been like?

[killsaly]

Fujiya & Miyagi would be good for an interlude.

[Christine Moritz]

BTW, friends of mine who saw Wire in the UK recently couldn't say enough good things about their live show.

[NilThree]

Awesome show. Tone were great as well.

[Vas Deferens]

It was a good show but not as good as the Wedding Present show at the Black Cat!

[azaghal1981]

Def. an awesome show. Both bands were great. Surprised I've never seen Tone listed on other bills around here. They're from the area, no?

[NilThree]

Yeah. My friend and I talked to one of the drummers (stage left) at the end of the show since we were right up against the stage. He said they're not going to be active for awhile because a couple of them have to go back to day jobs. Bummer - I did pick up one of their CDs though.
 
 My friends wanted to go outside between Tone and Wire so we gave up some pretty awesome spots - I was actually leaning on the monitors for all of Tone's set, which is obviously a great way to lose some hearing, but it's nice for me since I'm short.

 I can not decode all of it, but the lines were the encores.  
 
 Tone was the best I saw them, ever, they all did unique guitar parts instead of the all doing the same of the early years.  Tone has had a bunch of local talent for years, and sadly 3 on stage last night are leaving (Stage right drummer, SL and SR (on) guitars).  
 
 I guess it was WIR last night, 3/4 were there.  Liked their set, fun guys, fun show.

Damn! I knew they must've played a third encore when no one followed us to the metro. That's what you get...

[Sir HC]

Remember, if you do not see the lights on the sides of stage turn on, and house music, do not think the show is over.
 
 Even then, if it is the Eels, then STAY!
