Notes
This gig is part of a small run of performances ahead of some European festival appearances and a busy second half of the year in support slots across the USA.

Live Recording
An excellent quality recording taken from the BBC 1 TV broadcast shown later that year. Andy dedicates 'White Trash' to "the person with the black eye". 

The gig was edited for TV to include interviews with the band and others involved in their history and included 11 tracks:

'Crush'
'Messages'
'Secret'
'Tesla Girls'
'White Trash'
'Talking Loud and Clear'
'Maid of Orleans'
'Telegraph'
'Enola Gay'
'Electricity'
'The Romance of the Telescope'


In 2019, the footage was included as part of the 'Souvenir' box set for the band's 40th anniversary.
