As the show was a repeat broadcast, I wonder when it was recorded. Apparently they played in Hamburg the same day. I was at their Hamburg gig last spring. But were the Beth Gibbons and Johnye Cash records already out by then? I tried to find out on the web but couldn't find another gig. I found a collection of songs and videos instead.
