Reaction - Wire - A Touching Display - Art Rock Meets Post Punk Rock With Booming Guitar And Bass

This is a reaction video of Wire performing "A Touching Display" from their third album "154" released in 1979. The guitars fight with the bass to take charge of the song while the vocals are fairly monotone, but just begging for you to listen to every word. A unique song by a unique band. Enjoy!

The first 3 albums were astonishing, but this one was on another level. Sonically, way ahead of its time. (We always called it 'one, five, four' by the way!).

You are full of surprises, Todd. Wire, I'd never have thought they'd appear on any "reaction" channel. Wire have done so many amazing albums; great music great lyrics, so innovative.

Totally agree 154 is a fantastic album. Map Ref 41N 93W is great and I Should Have Known Better.

What you are identifying as guitar at the start is actually played on the bass and leads all the way through the track.

Graham Lewis has such a rich voice, completely different to Colin Newman who sang on most of their tracks. A song like this was just made for Graham's voice.
