영국 출신의 가장 위대한 포스트-펑크 밴드중 하나이며 무수한 추종자들을 거느리고 있는 WIRE의 2004년 글래스고에서 열렸던 Triptych Festival의 라이브를 담은 CD와 DVD. 1979년 라이브를 담은 Wire On The Box : 1979 의 후속타로 나온 본작은 DVD의 경우엔 2003년 런던의 Barbican에서 벌어졌던 퍼포먼스 또한 담고 있다. 정교하고 독특하며 연륜에서 보여지는 안정된 연주와 팀웍은 그 당시부터 지금 까지 활동하고 있는 몇안되는 포스트 펑크씬의 생존자들의 고뇌를 들려준다.
There's something strange going on tonight There's something going on that's not quite right Joey's nervous and the lights are bright There's something going on that's not quite right
There's something going down that wasn't here before Keep your eyes glued to the floor No one's gonna save your life Something strange going on tonight

You've been searching high and low, still so far to go You've been searching everywhere, I know you care Walking down the endless street, what will you meet? Who knows, who knows? You'll keep on searching till the very end For one true lover and for one true friend You'll get your answer on the whispering wind When you find it, just don't let go Laughed with saints and cried with clowns, lived that up and down Walked out in the pouring rain to stop your pain Cried out on a mountain high, why life goes by? Why love can die, oh why?
Sitting in a surgeon's world, a surgeon's will A surgeon's girl with me Standing on a river bed, where weeds can be I'm on my knee, to you I've seen in glossy mags I've seen you and you see me I've seen you and you see me
Said you weren't a tuna fish, put in a tin They're very big, Ha Ha I've seen in glossy mags I've seen you and you see me I've seen you and you see me
I was sold up the river to the red slave trade The stores were gathered, the plans were laid Synchronised watches at 18:05 How many dead or alive In 1955
The pink flags was screaming Bugle boys sucked and blew No time for confessions, orders given Books were cooked, on the 4th of the 3rd How many seen or heard On the 12th of the 3rd
