Memories and notes

God Damn Whores also appeared on the bill. This is the final pre-reunion Cardiacs concert for which a recording is currently known to survive; it was not the final concert of the period.

The distorted audience recording ends during Day Is Gone. Its notes refer to two songs from the Ditzy Scene single, but the surviving named sequence clearly identifies only Gen.

Setlist.fm reports that the concert continued with Dive, R.E.S. and Dirty Boy, followed by Ditzy Scene as an encore. Those four titles are not preserved in the local recording and have not been independently verified, so they are kept separate from the surviving recorded set.
