I have shared this performance before on Dime, with the same lineage, but unfortunately I could not find those Flac files (on a disc I no longer have connected at the moment) so these are new Flac files.
A short performance, but (one of?) the earliest version(s) of 'Night Ride Home', long before the album release, and also a wonderful version of 'Number One' which I greatly prefer to the album recording, due to the solo/simple arrangement allowing you to really hear the song.
'Wired' was a music show that came after 'The Tube' when Channel 4 were seeking for anew flagship music show, aimed at a slightly older age group, or perhaps 'The Tube' age group a few years on. It think it lasted two seasons, but did include this little gem of a performance.
No cover artwork, as although this is the complete broadcast, it does not warrant a full CD, and I am sure will be tacked on to other performances as an extra. Enjoyable never the less.
