WiNTER TOUR 2008 REViEWS

[mindslide]

For anyone who's interested, they dropped Nothing Ever Changes and Getting It and added Rooting For at The Oxford gig last night. From what I remember anyway.

Bit of a shitter, but then again i always moan about the set list at nearly all Hearts gigs.

So, any further setlists to be posted then?? I was a little unnerved to hear that Top Of The World had been plonked back into the set - call me a misery guts but i'm not a fan of the "....Must Be Destroyed" era.

Who knows, maybe by the time they hit Wolves on Monday the band will all be really hacked off with touring and decide to do a really heavy set?!!!

Me neither truth be known (bar Nexus Icon and Get your groove on, and a few of the heavier B sides).

I was stood near the sound desk at Oxford and there was a setlist on top of it which had Nothing Ever Changes and Getting It on there. Rooting was not on the list. Don't know why it was changed.

Have to say the last 2 times i've seen the band in Glasgow the singalong to SoD has possibly surpassed everything else.Loudest by far..although Shoes ran it close.

I hate to sound like an asshole, but am I the only one who thinks they've been playing the same old same old since about 2004?! Only 2 songs from self titled? given all the songs they have they never seem to break out much rare stuff anymore, they just seem to rotate the same twenty or so songs!

[maxpower]

I think these days the balance is about right, I'm just pleased they can distance themselves from Earth vs from time to time, I would hate the screnario if it was like so many bands i.e. Thunder who still cant get out of the shadow of their first lp & every thing they release is still compared to "Back Street Symphany" & their set list is still centred around much of that album.

I think the set list has moved on far better since 2004, the over long Caprice, O.C.D, Cheers Theme, Stormy In The North, Weekend being dropped. Not that I dont like them but I would rather hear 2 or 3 different songs rather than an over the top Caprice, but I am being over criticial or analysing the set lits in the last 4 years.

In an ideal siutation maybe selft titled album could have been better presented as in my own opinion its the best material since 1993's opus again as a fave I would love to hear "Bi-Polar Baby" maybe I will one day.

The only problem I had about Friday night was it wasnt long enough but I'm greedy, but I can also say as I was there they went down a treat & the crowd definitely went away wanting more.

If I'm lucky, I'll see them once or twice a year, so personally I want all the singalongs. The new album is ace but not so much of a singalong album... when I want to hear it in full I can always just put it on. A good spread of their whole career suits me.

I don't think I ever want to come away from a Wildhearts gig not having heard Caffeine Bomb and Suckerpunch, either. Still, all this could be immaterial because I've picked up some horrendous lurgy and it's touch-and-go whether I'll make Wednesday or not.

I'm finally awake enough to write a few comments about Manchester last night. As ever I thoroughly enjoyed myself as it seems did the band and most of the crowd (the world's quietest heckler excepted). Setlist was much the same as has already been posted though no Just In Lust but we did get Nothing Ever Changes...The singer from Ice Works came on stage and played Understanding Jane with the boys - I'm not really a fan of covers but Ginger seemed delighted by this and it was a decent version. Only pisser was I have to stay sober so I could drive back to Notts but at least I didn't have hangover this morning.

I agree there is a good balance, with the exception of Endless Namless, they usually always play something from every album, and although they may have dropped certain songs since 2004, the point I was trying to make was they always play the same songs from each album! For example with P.H.U.Q they always play I wanna go..., Just in lust, Nita Nitro etc. Although they may be playing Getting it this time around they seldom play things like Naivety play or Whoa shit.

That would have been Mr Ian McNabb, frontman of the Icicle Works. My old uni mate is his roadie so we had a couple in the pub with them beforehand. Poor guy was a little nervous, he'd never met the band before the rehearsal that afternoon - "but they're so LOUD... and they've got tattooes"!

Nice bloke though...
