Sounds like a very good audience source or perhaps a radio broadcast, but this is not a perfect recording - some dropouts (particularly in the first few tracks) and the occasional pop/crackle. I'd give it a B. Hopefully someone out there has an upgrade. That said, this is a really good show with some fun heckling moments and well worth downloading if you can handle a few flaws - in particular for a rare performance of "Secrets" and "Seventeen Seconds" with a few extra lyrics...

After the Australian tour, Mathieu left the band, leaving the Cure as a Trio, the way they had toured the previous year. According to cure-concerts.de, this is the 6th show of the Primary Tour.The setlist has changed some since 1980 began, no doubt trying out some compositions that will later be released on "Faith"- the holy hour,primary ,and all cats are grey. You'll notice some differences in these 3 songs that are different to the versions we are used to hearing.
Six shows followed this one, then the band took four months to write and record their "Faith" LP,and embark upon what is dubbed "The Picture Tour", but that is a story for later...
