One of their last concerts before COVID took over...I was lucky enough to be there, witnessing music genius for the ages! by the way...they just happened to play the incomparable "A Touching Display" to my utter disbelief & delight.
Me too I'd seen them live in 1977 & was blown away I had Pink Flag & I rushed to the record shop & bought Outdoor Miner picture sleeve on white vinyl the day it came out. They just stood out from all the other bands they were in another wonderful place.
You're thinking of the single version. Those parts were artificially added by the producer by editing the album version and adding a keyboard solo over it. The band always intended it to be the shorter album version.
@@GeneticallyMortifiedyeah i shaved that mess off about 6 years ago, its an old photo. i was going for the "trump supporter photographed in the cab of his truck" look.

Respect, listening with tears in my eyes.
Just fantastic, a crime that only a few of us know them in real terms . Love them. ❤
I’m going to see them on Tuesday in Philly.
This is a great song. Probably as many people covered it as heard it.
Cool to hear some people singing along
Being with them from day one...

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏😻
i had 2 albums when i was 18 - no idea they are American - sound like from uk!
They are British. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_(band)
American? Nope. I'm American tho...😅
What’s wrong with the bass player))))
😮this is proto shoegaze
Cut the song short.
What is the chorus then?
He lies on his side
Is he he'll trying to hide
In fact it's the earth
Since he's known since birth
@@loiszaremba9582 No it's not.
@@JasonUmbrellabird graceless oaf
@@JasonUmbrellabird what are you on about? Of course that’s the chorus
@@brianfergus839 What Lois Zaremba said is wrong. 'He lies on his side, is he trying to hide? In fact it's the Earth, which he's known since birth.'
WHERE'S THE OUTRO AND MIDDLE 8?

Crikey, get the bassline right.
