Sound: Excellent soundboard

Time: Approx. 45 Minutes

Tracks:

Finest Worksong, Welcome to the Occupation, Exhuming McCarthy, Disturbance at the Heron House, Pop Song 89, It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Orange Crush, Fireplace, Lightnin' Hopkins, I Remember California, Oddfellows Local 151

Comments: These are excellent sounding full band demos for the Document material. These would make a great album in their own right, as they are slightly different but also close to being finished. There are even three that were done live for the Work tour that ended up on Green in 1988. Great, crisp sound on these ones!

Time: Approx. 90 Minutes

Set List:

Finest Working, These Days, Welcome to the Occupation, Driver 8, Orange Crush, The One I Love, Feeling Gravitys Pull, Begin the Begin, Exhuming McCarthy, Wipeout, Title, Wolves,Lower, Superman, Just a Touch, Oddfellows Local 151, Lightnin' Hopkins, It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Strange, Life and How to Live It, I Believe (w/Robyn Hitchcock), Disturbance at the Heron House (w/Robyn Hitchcock), Fall On Me, Harpers, Funtime, Radio Free Europe

Comments: The band's first show of 1987, and a very good show, although some of the encores suffer from tuning problems. Also, as in most 1987 shows, there isn't quite as much contrast between quieter and louder songs.....they're all pretty loud and heavy! That being said, it's still one of my favorite live years for them and this show has lots of good things. Bill's drumming is powerful and louder and the new material sounds great on stage. Wipeout is a very spontaneous performance and Funtime and Radio Free Europe rock hard to end the show.

Sound: Good to very good audience

Time: Approx. 2 Hours

Set List:

Finest Worksong, These Days, West of the Fields, Exhuming McCarthy, Wolves,Lower, Orange Crush, The One I Love, Feeling Gravitys Pull, Driver 8, Title, King of Birds, Fireplace, I Believe, Superman, Oddfellows Local 151, It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Begin the Begin, Strange, Fall On Me, Disturbance at the Heron House, Little America, Welcome to the Occupation, Midnight Blue, Just a Touch, Harpers, Ain't No Sunshine, Life and How to Live It

Comments: Another great early Work tour show. Very nice to see West of the Fields played, and early in the set! Same with Wolves,Lower. Orange Crush is greeted initially with indifference, but by the end, the response is rapturous. Title is an unreleased song that sounds great alongside all of the other Document songs....shame they didn't do more with it. Fireplace was rarely, if ever played live, and here we get a nice run through. Great show all around.

Sound: Good to very good audience

Time: Approx. 90 Minutes

Set List:

Finest Worksong, These Days, Sitting Still, Welcome to the Occupation, Disturbance at the Heron House, Exhuming McCarthy, Orange Crush, Feeling Gravitys Pull, King of Birds, White Tornado, I Believe, Title, Cuyahoga, Pretty Persuasion, Time of the Season, Superman, It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Begin the Begin, The Flowers of Guatemala, Fall On Me, Swan Swan H, Pop Song 89, The One I Love, Harpers, Crazy, So. Central Rain

Comments: A very good and solid show. The band plays each song with power and vigor and the set has hardly any soft or quiet moments. Michael indulges in some joking with the crowd but the band as a whole is very tight and reserved. Great versions of Title, Orange Crush and a killer Begin the Begin. The new Document material sounds great too, starting with the blistering Finest Worksong.  

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 90 Minutes

Set List:

Finest Worksong, These Days, West of the Fields, Fall On Me, Disturbance at the Heron House, Exhuming McCarthy, Orange Crush, Feeling Gravitys Pull, The Flowers of Guatemala, Cuyahoga, I Believe, Maps and Legends, Superman, Auctioneer (Another Engine), Oddfellows Local 151, It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Begin the Begin, Strange, Wolves,Lower, King of Birds, See No Evil, Midnight Blue, Ghost Rider

Comments: This is a good show with some nice surprises from past tours and albums. West of the Fields makes a welcome appearance so early on, and The Flowers of Guatemala, a rarity on Pageantry, is a welcome addition here as well. A really great version of Orange Crush is played, and there is a great segue from the end of It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) into Begin the Begin. Good show.
