Somebody who probably thought "Eh? This new one is rubbish! Play Design For Life!"

Ok, this is my first post on here! Hey everyone! I was at the Blackwood Gig last week, I'm desperate to get the gig on MP3... anyone have it or know where I can get it???

King Tuts, Astoria '94 or Horse & Groom would be AWESOME

Plus I was there. I'd buy it!

If a bootleg were to be released as a live album I'd feel ripped off.

Anything from 1994 sounds truly awesome. I was saying to a friend the other day how underrated I think the band is, as this era of MSP live is simply breathtaking. Such ferocity and amazing guitar playing and raging vocals from James. Plus Richey's guitar sounded good turned up! Wire's ranting.... amazing band.

I think 94-97 was the bands ultimate live peak. Even looking at the footage of them in their prime, in their youth, is spine tingling. I'd love to see the Astoria gigs. They always will be a hugely pivotal moment for the band. Of course they have made great music since then, but I think history will judge that 94 was a band on top of their creative game, the camouflage, the danger, the noise, the sheer we-don't-give-a-fuckery about everything just sums up everything that was great about the band.

Astoria gigs. All of them.

Couldn't have put it better myself. I ended up spending hours making a DIY triple cd set, complete with slipcase for those 3 nights. I mean the quality of the recordings isn't great but the band was on fire! I would give my right arm to go back in time and witness those gigs.







sorry bout the picture quality...

T in the park 99 great stuff

[Oh Nick...!]

Nynex was the first time I saw them (I'm rather ashamed to say, I don't know WHY (WHY??!!) I didn't see them on THB tour as that's when I started buying the records), and even though we were seated miles back they totally blew me away, so nice to see that getting so much love here. Didn't really think about there being a boot - I assume there's a lot more to it than the video has to offer?

Edit: Okay, ignore me, I found it...

[Oh Nick...!]

The Tuts link in the Vault ain't working no more...

Personally i've always loved the Brixton bootleg from 2007. Amazing quality and the performance is great (if not just for the Motorcycle Emptiness performance).

Also the Reading 2008 set was probably the best I've ever seen them!
