NOTES
58 minutes
Final performance of In My Area
Goodish audience recording.
Support for the night was The Hamsters who were supposed to by supporting both nights but drummer Steven Middlehurst was ill.
Bears comparison of course with the officially released artefact from the night before. Not as well recorded but just as spiky and in your face as the “legendary chaos tapes”. Group appears to be enjoying itself with bravura performances of the extant material.
Notable for the extended section of banter between Smith, audience and Riley before “Draygo’s” where MES opines drily that Riley’s attempt at humour is not quite up to scratch. MES also explains that buildings on Dragnet and Elastic Man covers got knocked down some after release of said albums.
I was particularly struck by the swaggering blues feel to “Cash and Carry” and the strange psychedelic feel to “New Face”.
Well worth a listen
