There are plans for a Wildhearts gig, during which they will play the first album and B-sides. It will be in London (not the Astoria, apparently) and will be filmed.

Not sure how certain this is, but the man himself said it...so just passing it on.

Gotta love that plan.

Brixton Academy anyone? First place in London that I ever saw them, and it's always been one of the best times.

Brixton was the first place I ever saw them too so I'd like that though Ginger said last night he'd love it to be the Shepherds Bush Empire which is a really nice venue - but having seen a Midge Ure dvd filmed there they'd have to really plan out the filming well to get a good job done...

This would be great. I wonder if they'd play the B-sides first, throw them in the middle randomly, play them after the singles, or play them after the album? Anything but the last one, please. LYTID should be at the end. Or will it be in order at all?

I also wonder if they'll play caffeine bomb....

by **DangerousBeans** » 7th Mar 08, 22:32

They should play Caffeine Bomb as it was on the Earth vs re-release.

Oh and they should tour with this show..not just fackin Lahndan

will they bring back keyboards as they had back then?

by **Rancidpunk_76** » 8th Mar 08, 01:26

Am i the only one thinking... "move on". I mean, i love the old tunes as much as the new ones (more so actually) but is this really needed? Will this really endear the band to those outside their fandom? Or will it look more like a desperate attempt to relive the glory days?

Case in point: the last two times i saw the 'Hearts it was simply ace to hear Suckerpunch followed by Destroy All Monsters. It was like those two songs were always meant to be played back to back. The band are clearly hitting one hell of a stride so keeping moving FORWARD not back.

I think a one off Earth vs show to coincide with the 15 year anniversary is fitting, makes sense and will be an amazing show i will definately not miss!

They have to play them at the end - that way the 'main set' (more like first half really, I guess) runs ...Shitsville to Love U, then come back for the B-Side encore to end with 29x The Pain.

Can't imagine they'll play that. S'miles after the Earth Vs. stuff... :wink:

I totally agree with that sentiment and I think that is the whole point of it. The anniversary should not go without some sort of celebration.

i Love the idea of this show, espec as its gonna be filmed, (and hopefully released this time!!!!!!!!) but id also like to see a remastered and possibly remixed version of the album rereleased feat all relevant b-sides and outtakes too. This year could be massive for the band if its all promoted right, what with the covers album, the poss new studio album, the Works set and this dvd.....great year to be a wildhearts fan!!!!

by **Robdj** » 8th Mar 08, 14:59

Would be great - hope its not when i am out of the country for 2 months

by **godzillas beard** » 9th Mar 08, 15:23

This idea sounds fantastic. It also makes me feel old. Where did the last 15 years go?

Thing is, this forthcoming DVD could be 'Part 1' - with a sequel to follow in due course?

I'd imagine some earlier stuff would be thrown into the set as well as 'Earth Vs...' - 'Turning American' and 'Nothing Changes...'?

As for bringing Danny back for this - I can't see it. I'm pretty sure it will be the current lineup as this seems solid and reliable - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

As far as the venue goes, Ginger hinted that it wouldn't be the Astoria (my choice, or the Forum) as they want somwhere that will look good for the DVD. For that criteria Brixton Academy would seem the obvious choice, but it doesn't look like it's going to be there either. :wink:

Forgive me if I missed it, but any idea when this may happen?
