Intro to  The Perfect Kiss 

BS: "Thank you very much. S...(?) asked me to call him up."  

A punter yells "Shaddup".

Bass solo after frogs bit starts out differently. No extra verse.

Ultraviolence

Afterwards, some heavily accented voices can be heard talking about something. There's a solitary keyboard note. Someone calls out for "Transmission".

Sooner Than You Think

Some variations in lyrics, the most visible being the chorus.

"Oh you know how I love you. Yes you do. Oh you know how I miss you. Yes you do."

Also, there's "a thousand miles from here" and "never find" instead of "need to find", and I guess some of the particular phrasing in the LP hasn't appeared yet. Transcription of soundcheck.

Your Silent Face

lyric: "You asked me what you've seen...you said "Fuck off!"

You can hear someone ask, "When does New Order come on?" and his partner reply "I dunno.". Funny stuff.

Thieves Like Us follows.  

Temptation

lyric: "People in the fucking world."

After which there's about thirty seconds of audience shoutouts.

Blue Monday

Barney asks,

BS: "Why do women have legs?" as the bass synth sputters. Gillian hits the wrong keys at the 1:28 - 1:32 mark. At 3:30, Barney says something I can't make out to the soundman.

lyric: "If it wasn't for your big willy, I'd be a heavenly person today."

Sunrise

Has scratch lyrics. For an attempt at transcribing this, please see http://www.new-order.net/no/gigs/nogigs84.html#NO-840823.sunrise

Transcription of soundcheck, featured here:

Thieves Like Us

The levels start out really loud, but after 3:30, they drop off again to merely loud. The first couple minutes of this are instrumental, then Barney throws in lyrics.

Somebody yells to be careful up there (or something like that).

There's about two minutes of quiet before the next song is soundchecked. Some basslines for LWTUA and the synth line for Confusion can be heard.

Ultraviolence

Only the first thirty seconds appear on tape, unfortunately.

The Perfect Kiss on my tape is actually the edit version from FAC321.  An misattribution that may have leaked to Waterrat's listing, which I have corrected.




Sunrise 23 Aug 84 Corwall Coliseum St. Austell

The transcription on this one is ROUGH, due to not being able to clearly hear Barney's speech. Not that the lyrics are any great work of art, mind you.

You kept me waiting for a long time tonight Your eyes are so bu... great
Tell me what...talk about you

...know...were wrong
Going in out in out
In and out and in and out
In out in out in and out

You know you always here my name
You won't mind always stuck together with...

When you are confused you could have told me What are you looking at, I don't know(?)

I have always told you that were no good But I ...cuz you're being a big fat(?) cunt

When in and out and in and out
In and out and in and out
And in and out in and out

Wooh!

...give you...to see
...sister...is a sin
That you are a...skies
Even if open eyes...
You were right and I was wrong
Won't you...

All the pleasure and all the pain
You can't...say you can!

You must have ... ever be
...of you...because of that you...to see One thing that we... talk
Is that...

Because we need a stinking bitch
Because we need a stinking bitch
Because... bitch
And you..
