Saturday, 28 February, 1981 – Lower Refectory,  University, Sheffield, England

On the DVD

  1. Lie Dream of a Casino Soul
  2. Leave the Capitol
  3. C ‘n’ C
  4. Hassle Schmuck
  5. Slates, Slags etc.

According to a poster on The Fall Online, among the songs also played were Cary Grant’s Wedding and The Container Drivers.

The recording has about half of an early version of Lie Dream of a Casino Soul, in which the tune isn’t fully formed and we get the lyrics “to deny it was I…I spent a lot of time…wondering who or what the hell was the crime” (also uttered in Blob 59 / Prole Art Threat from 23 February 1981 in Glasgow); and then “all of Britain was a university town…” (prefiguring lyrics in C ‘n’ C). The track finishes with MES remarking, “That’s the experimental bit for tonight” (By the time Lie Dream makes its Peel session debut in late March, it has been considerably tweaked and sounds a very different beast.)
