Comments

This is a direct transfer from 20 year old low generation audience recordings on good old TDK D60 cassettes. The transfer was from tape deck (Aiwa AD-F800) to Audio CD recorder, then EAC to WAV to FLAC.

There is quite a bit of audible tape hiss throughout but this recording due to the low grade tapes - but it's not overly distracting (and it's a good show!)

This was the last of 3 consecutive nights at the Marquee, and was the only one to be sold out. The boys took the opportunity to play around with the set on all 3 nights making for very different shows.

This set was more representative of the "normal" sets being played at the time, and kicked off with the "traditional" opener A+N, followed by Magic Roundabout (although not yet formally named). Enemy and Gateway were (once again) swapped so that the latter became the set closer. 

There were a few equipment problems (as ever!) with Pete suffering a dodgy mic initially and a rendition of Wiggle being necessary early on, due to a broken guitar string! Mike also gave a short impromtu guitar solo before Enemy as Martin feverously tried to get his keyboards to work!

2 encores this night, the first being for child molesters everywhere! the second (following the 1984 trend, especially at the Marquee) was a cover - Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax".
