The Cover of this disk is a small pic of Bob onstage. This disk is from the same series as SGRS 043, in fact I believe they are available as a double CD package now. Of the two disks this is the shortest but I think this one is a better show (IMHO). Bob gives the crowd hell on this one. A good version of Three is on this disk. The sound quality is bit better on this one, than on 043, but still not excellent.
This is a good show from this era. Robert seems a little agitated for good reason. It seems that someone in the crowd keeps shouting for killing an arab the entire show. The highlight is Robert's if you want to hear it that bad go home and listen to the single! reply. Great lyrics to forever (or three). definitely aimed at the assholes in the crowd.

Submitted by: (jools) Just listen to the guitar on Killing An Arab on this one. One of my favorite Cure boots, yeah the sound isn't release quality but it's a damned sight better than the other SGRS one from Germany (sic) which is recorded slow. The Sydney one is in my opinion the most enjoyable-to-listen-to boot from 1980, despite the fact that some other 1980 CDs (We Hate Rock and Roll among them) have better sound quality. 10 out of 10. Buy it. Now.
