Wilko Johnson & Roger Daltrey : Going Back Home : Shepherds Bush Empire 25 February 2014
Wilko Johnson & Roger Daltrey play Going Back Home and Some Kind of Hero live at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London on 25 February 2014. Review & album/poster links below.
Going Back Home 0:00* Some Kind of Hero 3:38
*Apologies for the wobbles on Going Back Home, all very exciting and quite difficult not to ’dance’ with my neighbours!
Both songs are included on Wilko and Roger’s new album, ’Going Back Home’, due for release on 24 March 2014. Pre-order here and pick up a copy of the totally awesome (old school boxing style) poster for the show for half-price:
This highly anticipated and very special one-off show featured impressive support from The Standard Lamps, and a short set from Wilko and his regular band (Norman Watt-Roy and Dylan Howe), the latter of which included blistering versions of Barbed Wire Blues and (personal favourite) Doctor Dupree. For the ’main event’ the band was then joined by Roger Daltrey, Mick Talbot (Merton Parkas, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Style Council etc) on keyboards and the great Steve ’West’ Weston on blues harmonica. Opening with title track (and Dr Feelgood classic) Going Back Home, Roger, Wilko & co stormed through pretty much all of the album, including a cover of Bob Dylan’s Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window and even throwing in fabulous version of The Who’s I Can’t Explain for good measure! All in all, a pretty special night.
Check out the official video for ’I Keep It To Myself’ here:
It’s awesome!
News update: Very sad to report the passing of Wilko Johnson today aged 75.
RIP Wilko. You will be greatly missed but your influence will live on!
