Notes

The recording is REALLY ROUGH!
This was only the 2nd appearance (& their 1st headliner there) at the Hammersmith Odeon for The Three Ghosts of Christmas, as part of the ‘White Vinyl Fever Tour’, & it is indeed a stellar performance including an early version of ‘…Sister’ & the debuts of ‘No Class’ (both with alternative lyrics) as well as ‘Limb From Limb’ & ‘…Pay Your Price’ – in the pre-Health & Safety days, they even managed to use fireworks (not stage pyro) onstage (as it was ‘Bonfire Night’) including a set of sparklers on a track above Philthy, which promptly got stuck & rained sparks down on him…Now the caveat – this is not a great recording! – the quality goes up & down, improving slightly as the show goes on – all three elements are present & discernable, the only real issue is that the mic almost certainly just couldn’t handle the volume…
