Trey starts off by saying "Good evening ladies and gentleman, we are special guests from the U.S.", and it sounds like the boys are on their best behavior. Nice Landlady opener. Mike sounds a pinch off here. You can hear Trey call out for Greenberg. Good Suzy. Stash is good, Mike is still a little off. Trey calls out for Coil which has Page a little off in the middle section. Sparkle is good. Cavern is Trey's turn to be off, I guess, as he plays wrong chords coming in the begining and then later blows some of the ending lyrics. A short real announcement precedes a weak YEM intro. The rest of YEM is pretty good. Mike's solo section is a little weak and fades away into the vocal jam which gets cut off by the bootleg source. Bummer, I wanted to see how far they would take it on the first night.
Not a bad opening show in Europe, just not very relaxed yet. I wonder how the Violent Femmes were after this?
