Temptation, Age Of Consent, Dreams Never End, Ceremony, This Time Of Night, 586, Weirdo, The Village, Denial, Confusion, Blue Monday

Soundcheck (35 minutes): The Village, Denial, Confusion, and more..

Blue In Heaven as support.

Tape from a 'dropdeadfred' on DIME.

Very clear audience tape, sounds like it was taken from a boot LP, but in fact, I think this is simply clipping.

Temptation

Well, very clear until about 45 seconds in, when levels drop and the amount of hiss increases...levels go up again at the three minute mark.

Age Of Consent

(at end)

BS: "Charlie, turn the snare bass down. Bring the high-hat up a little bit."

Dreams Never End

PH: [coughs] "Well, here we are in a [g...], and where do we go from here? This one's for the hopelessly inadequate bastard that threw that pot, and hope you'll be happy forever with your three-inch willy."

Nice put-down.

Hooky throws in an extra stanza, a bit hard to make out but something like this:

lyric: "Hey, you can dance what they meant to do/ And left the world to your own"

A bit of guitar strumming in between.

Ceremony

BS: "Thank you very much."

This Time Of Night

Left channel dropout at 0:28, when Hooky's bass starts in.

586

At 2:15...

BS: "Turn the lights down a bit."

And at end...

BS: "Turn the lights down a little bit, cuz we've got an atmospheric bit, please. That's better."

Weirdo

BS: "Ready?"

Has the "we're as happy as the human race" lyrics.

Another level drop at about 2:20, lasting for about ten seconds.

The Village

Cut in tape after this and before the next song.

Denial follows.

Confusion

Somebody calls for it twice and, lo!, they play it!

There's some chattering and lots of shout-outs after this track.

Blue Monday

Big bass strum and then the drums...

On my version, the very end is cut.
