DESCRIPTION:
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: http://store.universal-music.co.uk/icat/wilko-roger

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.

It's awesome!

News update: Doctors are "cautiously optimistic" after Wilko Johnson has a potentially life-saving operation. The official statement is as follows, "Wilko is recovering following a nine hour operation on Wednesday in which doctors successfully removed a pancreatic tumour. The head of the medical team treating Wilko said that they were happy with his condition. Wilko will stay under very close observation for the next few days. Although cautiously optimistic the team have to stress that it is very early days yet. The family thank everyone for their good wishes and ask for some privacy at this time so they can support Wilko with his recovery in peace". Fingers crossed. Get well soon Wilko!
