Poorly recorded audience. A lot of booming and microphone distortion. Gig is audible but the aforementioned noise detracts from the enjoyment. Sounds like it was recorded through a sock full of custard in places.

Hanley bass dominates in a vicious attack on "Look, Know" and the band continues in that vein throughout. Drums are driven and thumped hard - guitars are scraped, strangled and abused, vox is particular astringent and playful.

The usual fayre of this tour is dominated by the closing "Backdrop" which starts off as an unholy clash of instruments drawn together by the leaders laconic drawl and then obdurately hangs about for ten minutes to drive any last vestage of sanity from your already befuddled brain. The keening guitar sound that Scanlon/Riley exact from their instruments is particularly memorable as is the wonderfully atonal keyboard meandering from Mr Mark E Smith

Unfortunately not a great recording but given the unrelenting intensity at which the material is pitched is worth tracking down.
