Setlist unknown for this concert.
This is a great concert.
It is one of my personal favourites seeing that much of the setlist is made up of songs from the 'Technique' album, which have rarely been played since it's release.
If you can find it, I would highly recommend it.
The shows on the second leg of the US tour were publicized more than the first and I recall being backed up in traffic on the 405 en route to Irvine Meadows. Public Image Ltd. had already taken the stage when I found my seat (assigned seating, unfortunately) and the Sugarcubes were probably finished before I entered the parking lot.
When New Order arrived onstage the roar of the crowd was deafening. Before launching into Ceremony, Barney dedicated this set to Pete DeFreitas of Echo & the Bunnymen who had recently been killed in a motorcycle accident. I must admit, the crowd was so noisy, at first I thought he said he was dedicating it to Benny Goodman! Regardless, the dedication gave this show a bit of a somber tone which set it apart from the playful Santa Barbara show I attended just a month and a half previous.
Apparently to amuse himself, Hooky occasionally addressed the audience with a Western/cowboy accent.
