Average-sounding audience recording, which is slightly disappointing, as the sound in the Cornwall Coliseum was usually very good. I organised a coach trip to this very gig. The Cult were touring their then-new album 'Electric.' 'Wild Thing/Louie Louie' fades out as the taper obviously ran out of tape - no doubt due in part to the very long gaps between encores, which have been edited as separate tracks here - and even these had gaps where the taping had been halted while waiting for the band to re-emerge from the dressing room. The Cornwall Coliseum was the most Westerly major venue in England and, in the 1980s, played host to many major acts. Sadly, it fell into disuse and was demolished in 2004.

I remember (some) of this gig. We went on a coach from Plymouth and we were worse for wear when we got on the thing. I think it was a mushroom night. All I do remember is my mate puking up everywhere and nearly getting chucked out which isn't alot really is it!
Cheers for this one. It might jog some memories (but somehow I doubt it)

Billy Duffy jumped off the stage and tried to punch some geezer who chucked a pint over him during the fade out of Big Neon Glitter - good value!
