Notes
Also billed as 'Zoo meets Factory'. Ticket sales were not as expected - maybe 200 - and photos of the day confirm this. OMD's performance was on the Bank Holiday Monday, the final day of the 3 day festival.​

Live Recording
The full set was first circulated in very poor quality. Over the years, a better quality recording saw the light of day before, in 2006, an official release was produced as a 2-CD set, although this release omitted 'Waiting for the Man'. At the start of 'Julia's Song', Andy says that it features "the Bunnymen's rhythm unit".
