@mamatis I saw them in Austin on Friday, and it was one of the most memorable performances I've ever witnessed. I did think at first that Colin was playing his old white Ovation Breadwinner, but closer inspection and (some Googling) informed me that it's a replica made by a company called Eastwood Guitars. Eastwood also made that amazing looking green guitar Colin was playing.

YouTube user IcedRelics has posted a great clip from the Austin show featuring the following:

"Moreover" (from 'Red Barked Tree')

"Two People in a Room" (from '154')

"106 Beats That" (from 'Pink Flag')

@perryamberson Thanks so much for the guitar info---no wonder it seemed so pristine. And yeah, that green one is gorgeous.

I remember watching this when it aired. I remember that it was the slowest train wreck I ever witnessed (that was not a bad movie) at that point in my 25 years. 22 years later, it is exactly as I remembered... Ah, the good old days.

Suzanne and WIRE do not go together. She acts overwhelmed by them and confused

thanks for posting!

[perryamberson]

I believe the show is from the autumn of '87, so Suzanne would have been around 41 at the time.

"and I'm gonna sing too, so don't come back! Wire!"

That is the awesomest mullet I've ever seen. Go Graham!

I remember seeing this. Suzanne didn't have a clue.

"Shudder at Colin Newman's uncanny resemblance to Christopher Guest."

HAHAHAHHA!! I never noticed that before!
