Review:
Great show, Johnny is very talkative, sound is very
clear; if slightly distant. Virtually every song here is a unique arrangement
with different synth parts that would be gone by the time the band
reached LA a month later.
'Love Song' has a unique intro. There are guest vocals from various crowd members and an appealing ramshackle looseness that reminds me of the 1980 shows. And a hard edge like the best shows from 82. 'Poptones' morphs into 'Chant' midway through. 'Tie Me...' sounds very dark. 'Bodies' shows off the clarity of the recording as both guitars are clearly distinguishable.
It sounds like some arrangements are still being thrashed out which makes this a unique show.
