Maybe the band was late, the concert started with a kind of tuning or soundcheck for several minutes. David Lichtenstein testing the Carribean Sunset drums (Cale:"That was Carribean Sunset"), The Hunt intro by the complete band, some Guts basslines and some chaos on stage...After an audience request for Hedda Gabler Cale answered with a spoken/whispered version of that song, fragments only, but amazing...then with several false starts or breaks they managed to get into Autobiography and the concert was rolling in typical maniac late 1984 style...fantastic show!
