Notes:
JEMS master recording. Very good to excellent audience recording. Pretty much the same setlist as the first night, although it includes a very rare performance of "King Of Thieves" (one of only two known performances). Level adjustments noticable during the first 15 seconds of "Let Them All Talk" and "Temptation."  About five seconds of EC's intro to "TKO (Boxing Day)" is missing, but otherwise complete except for crowd noise during tape flips and encore breaks. There's another excellent version of this show recorded by persic.

Additional notes:
- includes a rare performance of "King Of Thieves" (one of two known performances)
- tape flips after "King Of Thieves" and "King Horse" - no music is missed.
- Los Angeles is name-checked during "Watch Your Step"
- "Alison" includes a snippet of "Living A Little, Laughing A Little"
- "Pump It Up " includes snippets of "Ain't That A Lot Of Love" and "Working In The Coal Mine"

Songwriters:
- "Shipbuilding" written by EC & Clive Langer
- "Back Stabbers" written by Leon Huff, Gene McFadden & John Whitehead
- "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down" written by Homer Banks & Alan Jones
- "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding?" written by Nick Lowe

Thanks once again to JEMS for providing the WAV file. I used Audacity to split it into tracks, smooth over tape flips and encore breaks with brief fades.
