Comments: Gig confirmed as having taken place. An item in 'The Mystery Of The Damned Issue 1' fanzine shows Rat Scabies playing guitar and states that 'Pretty Vacant' was played. Though it would have been unusual for 'Pretty Vacant' to be played during this period, the photographic evidence of Rat playing guitar at this show would seem to support this statement.

Comments: Support advertised as Groove Yard. Prior to 'Looking At You', the beginning melody of 'Curtain Call' was played.
