A live DVD + CD document of contemporary WIRE.

April 2004 - WIRE play The Triptych Festival in Scotland (Edinburgh/Aberdeen/Glasgow).

Honed to a fine performance edge from their live forays to Europe earlier in the year, WIRE present their fierce, high-velocity set based around their highly successful album Send. Their first album in over a decade, Send marked a return to their trademark gimlet, shivved, short sharp shocked writing style.

Filmed by visual artist Tom Gidley in forensic detail, this document shows the complete visceral set and deliberately excludes the usual rock music celebration of place and time, instead
concentrating on giving the viewer the closest of contact with a band often misrepresented as enigmatic, cold and distant.

Also included is a bonus selection of pieces captured by Observation Camera #1 of the second half of WIRE's April 2003 Flag:Burning performance/installation at the Only Connect festival at The Barbican, London.

The set by avant stage designer Es Devlin was specifically commissioned by WIRE for this one-off performance.

Whilst based on the same body of work as the performance at Triptych, this is WIRE seen from the other end of the telescope, willingly surrendering their personal performance to the service of
the machinery of a unique, complex theatrical spectacle in a manner rarely allowed in the rock world rife with ego and self-aggrandisement.
