The Wildhearts

The start of 'Nexus Icon' when Ritch is htting the shit out of snare drum, Ginger starts sings and then the song kicks in. Class.

and the 3 new songs.

Only downside (hey Ii'm a Wildhearts fan, its never all rosey!) was there was only 3 new songs, pity they didnt follow Metallica and Maiden (etc) and play the whole new album!

No, best not to play all of the new album. Steve Earle does that every time he tours and it does me fuckin' head in. If people have paid £15-20 to come to see you, you should at least play what they want to hear. And 90% of punters are going to want to hear stuff that they know and can sing along to.

Well you could argue that most punters just want a greatest hit album every year and dont want to hear new songs....

You could. But you'd be wrong. He says...completely contradicting his last post.....

Apart from the obvious tour highlight of the band being really tight (and "mixing" between songs really amazingly well) mine was:-

Hot Steve having a cheeky play on Ceej's guitar behind an amp during I Wanna Go Where The People Go.
