NO: 29 JUN 1986 Greetings 4 - Valdarno San Giovanni Italy
Setlist
Sub-culture, Bizarre Love Triangle, State of the Nation, The Perfect Kiss,
Lonesome Tonight, Dreams Never End, Face Up, Temptation, Age of Consent,
Blue Monday, Your Silent Face, Sunrise
Source taken from an AM (medium-wave) broadcast, which a huge amount of voiceover (in Italian). There's also an audience version, which has also been factored into this transcription.
There's a fair degree of uncertainty regarding this date, based on the setlist and what the insert on the cassette I pulled the audience version from, this is the best guess, but other sources have given September 1986.
There's an announcer voiceover before the first song on the AM version, while we hear a bit of bass and guitar before the start of Sub-culture.
lyric: "I leave round in your cock..." lyric: "You realize you drink shite without someone else"
There's a stereo shift at 2:08, followed by a cut at 2:10, and restoration of the proper sound at 2:14.
BS: "Thank you very much, thank you very much indeed."
BS: "Thank you very much. We are from England. Manchester, England. Football. Manchester United."
Bizarre Love Triangle follows.
Hooky calls out "Yo!" off mic after the song finishes.
He also sounds like he's playing Hendrix on bass, a mini-jam before the dulcet tones of State Of The Nation wend to the ears of the listener.
A really loud "woo" through the chorus, ends on a bass bit.
BS: "Thank you very much indeed. What, play music? we don't know the meaning of the word. I've heard it from time to time. But we don't play it."
The Perfect Kiss
Quite likely the worst performance of this song ever.
Hooky's intro is in the wrong key, it sounds like.
For some inexplicable version, Bernard starts with the second verse. And his singing is very off-key.
Hooky calls out for something at 6:05 and repeats it ten seconds later. Sounds like "Eric Boulton."
BS: "Thank you very much. We're still with you, even though it may not look like it, we're all still here. Meant to pull...[word] weakly, of course."
Lonesome Tonight is missing from the AM recording, but is present on the audience version. And a deliciously ropey version of it, too.
Dreams Never End
PH: "What is it, Oz? Do you know?" (referring to the static hum?)
First portion of DNE is missing from the FM version.
On the AM version, there's an interlude of about 2:50 on my recording with the announcer talking over music (not New Order).
Face Up follows.
lyric: "As we get old, our faces get drunk/ When we we are young, we are always bored"
The song breaks down, and Bernard clears his throat and laughs.
BS: "What an ending, what an ending."
Temptation
BS: "Try for the next song. A bit more vocals through the side fills, Ed."
Quick fadeout/fadein at about the 3:50 point, quite likely at the A/B flip. The audience version has this as well, though obviously, the split is at a different point.
Age Of Consent
Another edit in the broadcast, Bernard's introduction isn't fully captured on the AM recording, but is present in the audience version:
BS: "Thank you very much. Anybody got a quid they could lend us? Don't understand, eh...don't understand a fucking word I'm saying... apart from that one word I just said."
Bernard nearly breaks out laughing through the chorus at one point.
Announcer talks over the track starting at the 3:28 point, and right through the last track of the broadcast, which isn't either Blue Monday or Your Silent Face, as they aren't present on the AM version.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Thank you again...I'm going to..." A series of cymbal crashes interrupts him, and he makes a sound like coughing.
End of main set. Audience recording has a couple of 'squeal' edits.
Your__Silent___Face_
A fade-in on the audience recording.
Sunrise
AM version has announcers talking at the beginning.
PH: (off-mic) "Ready, Gillian?"
High pitched wailing guitar solo near the end.
MW #1 - This is the AM version
