No, it was always Thieves Like Us. They got the title before they'd written the song, on that US 83 tour, it was sprayed on a wall somewhere.

Thank you Tim for your nice answer 
I asked you that because in a bootleg tape of Brixton Academy 83 TLU were labeled Murder At The Theater

That must have been the bootlegger calling it that then - the tape I got from that one had the correct title (and also called Sooner Than You Think "Aleph").

u're probably right ??? But so which one was once called Murder at the theater ??? HUm .... Alors,d'où sort ce truc ? If i remember,but it's a long time ago now, i think Hooky said ( circa 83/84) talking about TLU, they called the song "Murder at..." before they found the real name...I think i've read it in a Feb.84 interview...
