Memories and notes
The surviving recording is incomplete and heavily distorted, but documents the only known performance of Fairy Mary Mag. I Hold My Love in My Arms is repeated three times; the audience takes over the third version before the recording cuts.
Roughly three and a half songs are absent. Gina Lollabrigida is the only missing title named in the source notes and would have marked its first documented appearance at a regular concert since 1989.
Setlist.fm reports that Big Ship and Nurses Whispering Verses followed Gina Lollabrigida in the encore. Neither title survives in the local recording or is named by its accompanying notes, and no independent confirmation has been found, so they are documented separately as setlist.fm-only information.
