-Files start off with After hours, not Just A Touch
-Seven Chinese Bros, Old Man Kensey cut

Timeline has the follwoing setlist:
18 August 1985 - La Grande Tente, Vieux Port, Montreal, Canada
support: The Three O'Clock
set: Feeling Gravitys Pull / Harborcoat / Green Grow The Rushes / Hyena / Sitting Still / Pale Blue Eyes / Driver 8 / Fall On Me / So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry) / Have You Ever Seen The Rain? / Can't Get There From Here / 7 Chinese Bros. / Auctioneer (Another Engine) / Old Man Kensey / Little America / Pretty Persuasion / Life And How To Live It
encore 1: Second Guessing / Femme Fatale / (Don't Go Back To) Rockville / See No Evil
encore 2: Theme From Two Steps Onward / Just A Touch

Obviously, the two don't match.  Says Darryl: It feels like tracks 9-14 should go before tracks 1-8, like the taper has written out the setlist the wrong way, and then the first half of the show is missing. That makes the most sense to me

Notes:
-After See No Evil BB(?) "Peter Buck is the best guitar player in the world".  After a moment MS "Hold on a second, these people are trying to tear my pants off.  MM(?)  "I can't imagine why".  MS "I'm going to sing this one from back here".
-Boy (Go) and another snippet before 7 Chinese Bros.
-After Little America MS "...land of the free, home of the brave.  I love my god damn country".

Grade: C
-starts out pretty blown out but does improve
