Notes

FM or Soundboard

disc two: Tracks 7 - 14 Wolfgang's San Francisco 15th March 1985.

The main set here was broadcast on Radio Trent, and that is presumably the source for this bootleg, so the sound quality is high, although the mix is not ideal (the vocals are a little low, for instance). As for the show, the setlist is slightly expanded from the US leg of this Thompson/Gregson/Collister tour, with Long Dead Love being one of the rarities performed here.

The filler is a soundboard recording of the late show at Wolfgang's, the sound quality of which is possibly even better than that of the main set. Its main appeal is one of the few outings (possibly the only one) for Great Balls Of Fire during the '85 tour.
