Wire’s RockPalast appearance, dated Valentine’s day 1979, finds the band with a confidence born of a knowledge that their place in rock history is assured yet still possessing a freshness and willingness to push ahead as evinced by the fact that at least half the material is from the yet to be recorded 154. With the 20/20 hindsight the quality of this performance is such that it is able to simultaneously explode various Wire myths and perhaps create some new ones..
