This recording appears to pick up part of the way through. Band is in good spirits it seems.
Are you going to make this gig available? I was there and would love to get a recording. The band had some power issues and Ian had an amusing conversation with a friend of mine while the amps were out. I'd love to get a recording of it.

Please Note: Available recordings have been mastered to correct for volume shifts, drop outs, etc. but some sonic anomalies will still exist, especially early in the set when the mix is being settled. The band has rated each show for sound quality and set the general price of a download at $5 per show. If you have a different price in mind feel free to utilize the alternative pricing option.
The band appears to have been in a good mood on this particular night in Adelaide. In-between song banter is abundant and light-hearted, and relates to the airconditioning, as well as Ian and Guy addressing the incident in Perth the prior night, “the last song, some person comes up and just steals our DAT machine and the CD player right off our fucking mixing desk, now I think that is a little low class frankly” followed by a bit of a humorous altercation with one of the patrons for interjecting “that’s what you get in Perth.”
The lukewarm response elicits some more remarks from Guy, “god, you all are fucking stone-faced, this is cold, but that’s ok, because we love you” as well as from Ian, “I think love might be a little strong Guy, I am fond of you and I think we should keep being friends but I don’t know about love right now... you guys just don’t give a fuck. We came from Washington D.C. to pour our hearts out to you and you stand there like a bunch of statues, from this point on we’re only gonna play half of each song, how does that feel...”
Unfortunately, the recording of this gig is incomplete, offering a mere 11 songs, with 2 taken off of In on the Kill Taker, 5 taken off of the Repeater album, 3 off of the debut 7 Songs EP and 1 off the Margin Walker EP. Plus, the drums and bass are low or rather indistinct in the mix, which considerably curbs the pleasure of listening for me.
Blueprint notably closes out the set.
