Comments: Very poor audience recording.  This is possibly the worst quality recording I have of The Church!  I'm stunned somebody would trade this.  I'm only putting this on my list to warn myself not to ask for it if someone else offers me a recording of this show.

Rating: 7.5/8.5  Comments: London show is kind of muddy and bass-heavy.  Boston show was my first Church concert!  I actually went to see the main act, Echo and the Bunnymen, but was blown away by The Church, even though I got there late and only heard the last three songs...

Live at Palasport, Turin, Italy, 5-30-86 (1 CD) (CD-R Copy)
Tristesse, Roman, Life Speeds Up, Shadow Cabinet, Tantalized, You Took
Comments: Fair/good audience recording.  Some tape warble.  Low levels, muddy.  Other than that it's okay if you really want all those 1986 Italian shows.

Rating: 8/8  Comments: Both good audience recordings - Remote Luxury is great live!  The Hamburg show is especially interesting, as this is when Marty had quit the band for a short time, and the band carried on as a 3-piece...

 

Live at Chasers, Melbourne, 5-21-87, Plus Live at Fabrik, Hamburg, Germany, 6-10-86 (Without MWP) (2 CD) (Homemade CD from cassette sources)

Disk 2: Is This Where You Live?, Almost With You, In a Heartbeat, You Took (cut). Live in Hamburg, 10-6-86: Myrrh, Columbus, Life Speeds Up, Almost With You, Chrome Injury, For a Moment We’re Strangers, Fraulien, Bel-Air, Just for You, Is This Where You Live?, The Unguarded Moment, When You Were Mine, Desdemona
Rating: 9 for both shows.  Comments: Two really cool Church shows.. the Chasers 87 show introduces some new songs... Antenna and Frozen and Distant were not played on the 88 tours.  A New Season is much slower than the album or 88 versions.  The Hamburg 86 show is The Church as a 3-piece... Marty had briefly quit the band, so they played more older songs that featured mostly Pete's guitar work.  Really interesting to hear these songs with just one guitar, but it's much better with two!  Both recordings are very good audience recordings.
