From "vinz":

Arena, Rotterdam: Saw the complete soundcheck, they posed for my (photo)camera (except Bernie), spoke to Gretton, this gig was videoed with two cams.

And indeed, that is viewable here:

Gab 
(see below for TPK and Face Up, these have been cut out for copyright reasons, as the whole show appears in full on Low-Life Definitive Edition, so not sure how long this will stay up)

One source I have (from GD via JB) has the first half of As_It_Is_When_It_Was missing, but it's complete on another audience version.

BS: "Thank you very much."

Everything's_Gone_Green

You can hear a woman laughing at the start. (GD).

Aggressive Dutch voice at end, might be swearing in English. More giggling. (GD).

Subculture

Guitar flourish at end.
BS: "Thanks very much, thank you very much."

On the second version, the left channel drops from 3:27 to 3:34.

lyric: "I always try/I always fucking miss."

punter: "Fucking magical...magic" (GD)

BS coughs.

BS: "Thanks very much, thank you very much."

Ceremony follows.

Let's_Go

Hooky's "2-3-4" count-in can be heard off mic.

BS: "Thank you very much, thank you...[can't make out]"

Some screams.

This_Time_Of_Night

BS: "C'mon, I'm sure you can do better than that, you're a bunch of fucking cunts."

He's probably commenting on the lack of audience participation.

BS: "Andy, Andy, Andy. These lights, turn the fucking lights (off), bothering me a bit."

The_Village

Bass intro goes slightly pear-shaped.

The_Perfect_Kiss

PH: "You're gonna remember this one because we played it last time. You know what happened last time, don't you?" There's a unique whistle at the start which is a melody immortalized in a Lords Of Acid song.

Hooky flubs the intro a bit.

Edit in tape between this and Age_Of_Consent. (all versions)

BS: "...unless it's fucking spiders, it's head is stuck [something]... I don't like spiders."

Sunrise finishes up the main set. Starts with Bernard scraping his guitar strings.

Punters yell out for more. The band leave 'em waiting for a while, and the house music even comes on again, but then the band reappear to cheers.

Temptation

At 4:15 Bernard yells for something starting with P to be turned up.

Face_Up starts before the last notes of the preceding song subside.
