NO: 16 AUG 1985 Rainbow Music Hall - Denver, CO
also: Fractured/Image playlist
The original Waterrat listing gave the venue as being in "Boulder". Rainbow Music Hall was actually in Denver. However, the tape insert I have for this lists "Boulder", so I'm not 100% sure whether the venue or city is incorrect here, though it's most likely that this was confused with the '86 venue with respect to the city.
Tape from archives, sounds like a condenser mic recording, as frequency-wise it seems to top out at 8kHz.
I'd estimate lineage to be about 2nd/3rd generation from master. An energetic, superb performance with a good setlist, too bad the source isn't any better.
Sunrise
BS: "Thanks a lot."
This Time Of Night
Immediately kicks off. Hooky hits a bum note at the start.
Lots of whistling and cheering, with somebody mimicing the Police's famous mating cry, "Ee-Yo".
Hurt
(at end)
BS: "This is the night, eh, you shouters." (or something like that)
Thieves Like Us
BS: "Thank you very much, thank you very much indeed."
5-8-6
(at end)
BS: "Thanks very much, thanks very much, now we'll [start it]? if you want to."
Break in tape at this point, suggesting the master may have been at least one C60. The beginning of Everything's Gone Green is cut here.
Folks calling, "C'mon, bring it on!" and "Barney".
BS: "Eddy, turn the sequencers up! I mean Gillian(?)..." (rest of this is lost in reverb)
The Village
(at end)
BS: "To everyone, thanks very much."
Then Hooky and Barney start talking at the same time.
PH: "What are you shouting Shadowplay for you fucking prick!" (thanks to 'bcingyou' for the correction)
BS: "He went and fell on the ground".
Folks laugh at the put-down.
Sub-culture
(during intro)
BS: "Well, Subculture's all about shafting...big thing tonight."
Denial
BS: "Thank you very much. We're gonna play a real old song, it's called, er, 'Little Dead'". Interesting to see Bernard use that name for the title of the song.
He then adds, "It was a bit slower than this.", as this is one that Steve always speeds through. Hooky ends it with a bit of a flourish.
Confusion follows. Another reason for suspecting the source was a C60 is because Confusion cuts at end of side A after about a minute, at least on my review copy.
BS: "I have to say then, thank you very much, thank you very much indeed. Very pleased to hear you damn ... like the Mancs old bollocks." (guitar noise makes the last part hard to make out)
The Perfect Kiss follows.
lyric: "Tonight I should have stayed at home, playing with my big fat cock."
One second gap at the 8:02 mark, near the end.
Edit here, I presume TPK is the end of the main set, which is also supported by Hooky's next statement:
Ceremony
PH: "I've beaten Bernard."
BS: "Thanks very much. This the the first encore we've played on tour."
Untrue, of course, but the fans sound like they bought it.
BS: "Thanks very much, you need to be a great too! Another one of those...fag...[rust Steve]" (not what he says, but the best I can make out)
Temptation
BS: "Thanks very much. That one's...[can't make out]."
