Next To You [2:05] Lineage: AUD > unknown gen cass > CDR Re-master: - speed corrected by T. Comment: Most shows from the July-August 1980 run aren't real great. This one isn't stellar next to Beziers either, but given what we do have this isn't half bad. I wonder if this has some generations to it, as it isn't the clearest recording. However, this is the only time the band played in Ireland and we have a unique setlist to boot. I will nominate this show as having perhaps the best WTWIRD ever. The band is absolutely on fire for this rendition and it is played much closer to the album version than what would be subsequently played on the Zenyatta or Ghost tours. This is also the show where the band stops playing in the middle of Roxanne to chide someone that threw a bottle at Sting. So Lonely is missing, but everything else is here. If you are wanting shows from this era this one is probably one of the better choices.
