I really had a bad reputation for not doing the same things twice, and really with a vengeance. People would be like, “is that song?†It’s nice now to get people to expect that. I think I’ve worn a groove there that you don’t know quite what it’s going to be. But for me, I can’t go on the road and do the same things all the time. Drives me nuts."John Cale

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!
