Gillian hits some botton and nothing works and Barney runs back to fix. Classic. 100% better then 10 years in the future singing "we playing for england"

If he was Glaswegian,it might not be a typo, 'botton' can be used as a derogatory term for someone you dont like "he's a fuckin botton" or if the crowd were being cunts "crowds full of bottons" more or less meaning idiot/cunts/prick...you get the idea :)

Probably is a typo though...

While we're on the subject-what does it mean when a Brit says something's "tits"? Is that good or bad? Always wondered about that.

Is it like saying it's 'bollocks'[bad] or 'dog's bollocks'[good]?

Not sure if it was her mistake. Seems like the machine died and after he shows up it sounds extactly the same as when she depressed the lever. Very early performance of TLU anyway.

You can clearly hear the synth bass is out of sync to the drum machine, Bernard runs over, does something, and it's back in sync again. That gig must have had a few problems, as you see him running over a few times during other songs.
