Timeline notes: Just before 'Rave On', Auctioneer was aborted as Bill leaves the kit (you can hear the sticks go down) to go use the bathroom. There were a lot of requests for 'Moon River', Stipe sang about half a note then said he didn't want to do it, he also tried another song, sang a few words, stopped and said "Nah thats too easy". The intro to 'Windout' was the usual intro they used on the 1985 shows, "Amen brother ben shot the rooster killed the hen".
There is some confusion about a song called 'Guns For Punishment' at the start of encore 2, apparently it is Mike Mills saying 'you're gluttons for punishment' after numerous requests were shouted out, before they played 'The Medicine Show'

Dave's notes:
-d1t3 is not King of The Road.  Lyrics:
workin a job 9 to 5
goin home to meet my wife
someone there on the porch
cant tell who so i turn on the light
......telephone....
get your ass back where it goes
to ...............
-After d1t4, MS urges crowd to step back 'it's kind o smelly up here".
-After d1t8 MS "Keep your gum in your mouth.  This isn't Milton Keynes".  It was well recieved.


Grade: A-
-Sound wobbles slowly from very good to good, this is one of the best sounding recordings from 1985
