A document and eyewitness indeed.

I love your commitment to Wire my favorite punk, post punk band. I had the Dot Dash single in the late 70's with their other early releases. I am now a fan and follower of your videos, I can't get enough of early Wire. Many claim that Joy Division were the first post punk band, Wires Chairs Missing to me was the start of post punk. Great work!

Cheers Dave. For me it's a combination of the consistency and innovation of their early period, and the rejection of nostalgia, of looking backwards, that characterises their more recent stuff. I love so many of the bands of that period, but Wire (now The Fall are no more) feel like one of the only post-punk bands who've retained a genuine edge, and a sense of vitality. D

I enjoyed that. It is so easy to forget or mix up venues. I was convinced that I'd seen Cabaret Voltaire in Dundee, only to be told many years later that they never played Dundee and that I'd travelled through to Glasgow to see them.

I once managed to concoct a Reading Festival bill (1990, my first festival), convinced I had seen several bands one after the other on one of the days. I had such strong recollections of some of the sets that my brain had compiled them into a single "Greatest Hits" package. Someone pointed out to me that The Bad Seeds had played on the Friday, and The Fall on the Sunday...and I still didn't believe them! D

This was awesome! It's always been one of my favorite Wire songs

Thanks. Yeah, a great song, and this video was a lot of fun to make! D

Very good little featurette. I watched your other 2 Wire videos as well, good stuff. I hope you don't mind, but I've added a link for this video to my 'Dot Dash' upload....

Never realized a near fatal accident was behind this song , it doesn't sound so lifetheatening .

I really enjoy your videos but there seems to be a lot of sync issues. Is it just me?

Everything's in sync before uploading...and I double-check everything. It's usually down to watching on a mobile/Android device, and/or cache issues. I've had 70K+ views, and only a dozen or so reports of synch problems. If I'm not getting 'A LOT' of problems being reported, then I have to assume it's just isolated browser- or user-specific issues. D

@@discellany Thanks for the reply mate. I had kinda assumed that the problem was on this end. Doesn't detract from my enjoyment of your content - which is great!

No worries. Wish I could be of more help! I do all my work on a Windows machine, but my wife usually sanity checks the videos for me on her android tablet. She gets synching issues from time to time across a range of youtube videos, and nine times out of ten it's a wi-fi or caching issue. Cheers, D
