NOTES
94 minutes (including soundchecks)
Four soundcheck tracks are also available – Mere Pseud Mag Ed, Kicker Conspiracy, I Feel Voxish, C.R.E.E.P.
There are a couple of versions of this circulating – the version that does not include the soundcheck is less edited on a couple of tracks so is gig wise probably the most complete. The alternative version has the total gig with soundchecks has the ends clipped off Garden and Tempo.
Notable for the first performance of C.R.E.E.P. at the soundcheck and then the live debut, along with Brix in her first outing with the group. Notable there is fluffed opening keyboard note on the live debut
One oddity is at the start when an American audience member asks where the real group is – either he has not seen the band since 1979 , is missing Marc Riley a lot, or is on some sort of medication.
A fascinating document of the group making the transition from the sober introspection of early 1983 to what would become wonderful and indeed frightening in 1984.
The two-fer single pack of Kicker and Wings had been released days earlier and therefore it is not surprising that this and the material from the most recent Peel session would dominate the gig. A nod back to the past with a robust Middle Mass, a worrying Temp, a scratchy and insistent Fiery Jack, with one assumes extra guitar from Brix, and a fulsome closing Room to Live which would only have two more outings after this gig.
The well establised Voxish and Ludd make up the numbers.
Fascinating to hear the soundchecks and the mutterings in between as these give an insight into the pre-gig antics of the group.
All in all well played and well worth tracking down.
