Soundcheck (15 minutes): Love Vigilantes, This Time Of Night, Sooner Than You Think

Sourced from RMs recording.

The intro (Funeral For A Viking) is from the RM recording...

BS: "Well, we're New Order. I think."

That comment creates some amusement. The taper cries for 'Turn The Heater On'.

State_Of_The_Nation starts out the set.

Ends with Hooky two-note riff.

BS: "Thank you very much."

Shellshock follows.

Love_Vigilantes

BS: (at end) "So...something else."

lyrics: "When I looked into your brain / I find that I going...insane."

There's a couple of other variations. This is all pre-autocue!

Hooky fills in the time with a bit of bass.

This_Time_Of_Night

BS: "Thank you very much. The next song is a very sensitive song. No it's not." (he was probably referring to 'All Day Long' but this got loaded up instead)

All_Day_Long

lyrics: "So don't tell me about suicide / or all the problems about sex this time"

BS: (at end) "Andy, it's getting a bit warm up here. Thank you very much. Go!"

Sooner_Than_You_Think follows.

Subculture

Tape speed issues at about 3:15, may have gotten bumped.

Edit at this point.

Weirdo

BS: "Funny groove, now, what a funny groove, yeah. What a bunch of characters."

Sunrise follows.

Lots of cheering after.

Age_Of_Consent

Bernard's guitar intro is off-key.

Bizarre_Love_Triangle

BS: "Fuckin' hell Steve, where did you get the speed from?"

Brief cut at 2:31.

BS: "Thank you very much."

taper: "This is almost a totally a different set tonight..."

mate: "Exactly."

The PA music is a reprise of 'Funeral For A Viking', followed by a weird song that the taper pauses a couple of times through.

Confusion

Some soundchecking at the start.

The_Perfect_Kiss

BS: "Andy...I...[something]...this light."

(at end)

BS: "Thank you very much, good night."

Ends in feedback. A bit of PA music at the end.
