From previously-uncirculated Sony TCS-310 recording kindly given to me by Erik. Very good quality, except it seems to have been recorded with Dolby C applied.

Most of the lyrical "variations" are of the four-letter kind.

Bizarre Live Triangle

Stereo shift at 1:50 or so as the taper moves around.

Your Silent Face

Bernard sings "go fuck yourself" at the point he usually sings "why don't you piss off", and then says, "Thank you very much, thank you very very much."

(at end)

BS: "Thanks a lot!"

A tiny bit of tuning here.

Leave Me Alone

(at end)

BS: "Very well, thank you."

Angel Dust

Think that Hooky says "Yo!" (off-mic) at the start here.

lyrics: "What you get is what you fucking need when you watch the blood run in your fucking head."

During the bridge (at about 1:57 into the song) Bernard remarks, "Intense".

BS: "Thank you very much."

Every Little Counts

A bit of a grunt, clearing his throat, at the start.

lyric: "I think you are a pig, you need a good fucking screw." and "Every second counts when I'm fucking you."

During the bridge (about 0:43) Bernard says something like "Oh, shit."

BS: "Thank you."

girl voice: "New Order's ok?"

guy: "Yeah, they're ok, it's just that they're playing too loud."

(a few seconds later), another girl voice: "hah"

guy says somthing I can't totally make out, something like "That one's of UK".

another girl voice: "A little bit."

Feedback squall with guitar twiddling. Then Hooky says (off-mic) something like "try it again".

All Day Long

Lots of echo on Bernard's vocals here. Sumner ends it with a bit of a guitar flourish.

Everything's Gone Green follows.

A bit of the usual when Barney and Hooky swap instruments before starting in on Confusion.

lyric: "You just won't believe me baby, when I show you what the fuck you cannot see."

At about 3:47 Bernard yells, "Turn the lights down."

BS: "Why, thank you so much." The crowd cheers.

The Perfect Kiss cuts at 9:10 or so (like side A of the master tape running out)

Face Up

Bernard mutters something about "..esh another one" at the 3:00 mark.

Temptation follows.

Folks clap and cheer as NO leave the stage.

girl voice: "How's an eleven (song) set....they're gonna do....the hang of it?"

Edits at 0:40 and 1:12 of audience chatter.

New Order come back on.

PH: "It's like we, uh, played in Santa Barbara last night. Didn't you hear about(?) Santa Barbara, right? Very nice place, we didn't do an encore there. Those people sucked." Pretty much establishes that this is the real deal, and not a fabrication.

Hooky slow-starts a rip-roaring fantastic version of Age Of Consent_ as the first encore track.

Ends in bass feedback which preludes Blue Monday. There's a bit of a glitch and somewhat lower levels for this song as opposed to the rest of the tracks.

BS: "Thank you very much, good night." More bass feedback to leave us with.
