NO: 14 AUG 1985 City Coliseum - Austin, TX
Source is taken from the archives, credited as being third-generation. Sound is excellent, much better than the Black And White And In Colour 2xLP boot, at least based on the playback I heard. I believe the tape and bootleg sources are from different sources, but are strikingly similar (recorded close together with similar equipment).
Moreover, the LP version may have edited out some of the more audible audience chatter.
I've since concluded that they're from the same source recording, with various edits as both the master was copied and for what made it to the bootleg LP.
Lots of punter chatter before the start of Your Silent Face.
Bernard says "fuck off" instead of "piss off". Lovely.
BS: "Thanks very much."
Love Vigilantes
Brief tape garble from 2:12 - 2:15. The LP version doesn't have this defect, which might help to establish it's a different source if this is on lower-gen versions.
Loud cheering at end.
punter: "I can't believe how good they are." (more clearly heard on B&W&C version)
punter: "I know, it's great."
(more clearly heard on audience tape version)
Dreams Never End has a false start, with Hooky's bass stopping right after the first bars. Somebody catches on quickly and calls out "False start!"
PH: "I told these bastards once, I've told them a thousand times to make sure the strap is on the bottom [word or two muttered I can't make out]."
punter: "Peter! Fire fire!"
The usual long pause while they swap instruments for Confusion.
PH: "On with it."
(at end)
BS: "Thanks very much."
Punter says something like "I must say it's good to CSO."
The bootleg has an edit between Confusion and Sooner Than You Think which misses the above comment. Likely a Side A/B flip.
Another edit on STYT on LP boot version, not present on tape version.
Weirdo
Third time the band ever play this.
BS: "Are we ready? Everyone ready?"
Obviously not as they start out completely out of time.
lyrics: "Just like a leaf upon a tree."
Bernard's voice cuts out when he goes to sing the chorus in the middle of the tune.
punter girl #1: "Wait, I wanted to say that..." punter girl #2: "Somewhere we can go again Sunday evening..." (this concert was on a Wednesday night)
Somebody titters right before the start of Subculture.
Age Of Consent
A hilarious interchange.
PH: "Any requests?"
punter (predicting Hooky's reply): "We don't do requests, so fuck off."
PH: "Got any? Fuck off then."
Segue into Temptation. Just like at their Tower Ballroom Birmingham gig earlier that year.
Weird feedback over Bernard singing "oh, you've got green eyes..." forcing him to repeat the line.
BS: "Thanks, Salford. Thanks very so much!"
Blue Monday
PH: "You see what your hot Texan bodies have done to my fucking equipment! Ghastly."
BS: (during intro): "We've made crap on this record."
BS: (responding to a heckler, presumably): "In your eye. Fuck you."
The cowbell evokes a comment from someone in the crowd.
punter: "Make it worthwhile, fucker" (only heard on LP bootleg, which has lots of annoyed-sounding folks)
BS: "Thanks very much. Very flattered."
The Perfect Kiss
punter: "Fucking assholes..." (on tape version, edited out of the boot LP)
Whistling and shouting is very loud on the tape version, less so on the LP version.
PH: "Just ask Mr. Sound...were, and we're all fucking dead." (don't quite have this figured out)
Ceremony
Somebody loudly cries out twice for Ceremony (tape version).
BS: "Thanks very much. We're really gonna play...two songs."
(at end)
BS: "Thanks and good night!" Folks scream in positive response.
