The Cross Man On Fire single

Is the song cut up in anyway aside from the speeches? I noticed the last guitar solo is shorter compared to other versions from the tour(characteristics of the performance scream 1988).

Yes, the solo was edited a bit.

Thanks. Based on the shows I've heard so far it appears to come from Leeds

^ thanks for info. Needs to be checked.

Nvm. The choruses are similar but there are differences elsewhere. Unless it ends up being from Dortmund, it will likely continue to be unknown

Leeds? I´ve heard so many times that particular gig that i can tell, Man on Fire is not from that show.
It´s from their German Tour. And not from Munich, Erlanger, Nuremburg, Esslingen, Mannheim or Dusseldorf. And i´ve another unlabeled show from Germany which doesn´t match either.

It could be Dortmund...Who knows...

As you can see, I too have realized that. Seems you've got a bigger collection compared to the masses. Would you ever consider getting them out?

I did it about one year ago... ;-)

Any chance of a reissue? I’m missing any non-database show besides what Penetration Guru has shared.

No. I´ve got the MEGA space for personal use at the moment. I warned then that files would be online a few weeks only.

Anyway sure someone who downloaded them can help you.

What live dates are you chaps looking at? The single was out in August and the tour was October.

There are characteristics which suggest it’s from the 1988 tour. Most notably the backing singers

My initial thought was it's from the Fan Club live tape but the date doesn't fit. Not out of the question it's been heavily doctored as live stuff is - especially when no exact date is given.

It´s very clear that comes from the German Tour in April 1988.
The bridge of the live version released was sung with some minor differences. There are some performances from that leg of the Tour that "almost" match that brigde.

I’d assumed exactly this - I didn’t think they had the female backing singers after the Shove It! tour (though can anyone confirm?), so unless they had them on any individual dates later on then it would intimate this recording is from the 1988 tour?
