NOTES

79 minutes

Audience Recording (from the balcony). The sound was never great at the Hacienda and even worse if captured from the balcony area.

Definitely no Brix at this one for whatever reason.

The show kicks off with the fourth and final outing for “Perverted by Language”. The set is also notable for Smile being played twice when Smith is clearly annoyed with the first attempt.

Quite hilariously the DJ puts Totally Wired on after they think the group has finished the set and then they come back on for a second encore and perform it.

The venue was not full but a very energetic mosh-pit made up for that.
