Moderate audience recording of the first show from the Nine Lives Tour. 19 songs and yet a short (in time) setlist.
That's not strange if you know that Cryin' (after Dream On) and Mama Kin (after Toys in the Attic) are not listed. Note that the songs from Love in an Elevator 'till Livin' on the Edge appear in exact the same order on 'A little south of sanity.' (These are other versions, but the setlists match).
During Love in an Elevator, Stevens wants to lick your funky ass. Before Falling in Love, Steven does a verse of it - spoken not sung that is. It ends with "Cos falling in love is so motherf#ckin' hard on the knees." No long yelling "Oh yeah!" during this song.
There are some alternate lyrics in Hole in my Soul, too. But due to the poor recoding quality, they can't be heard after: "I sleep with my boots on, 'cos you ..." Monkey on my back has alternate lyrics after "The fortune teller looked into my eyeballs," but I wasn't able to decipher them.
The world is not wrong, but it is 'f#cked' during Livin' on the edge, but that's nothing new for our ears. While listening, I get the feeling that there are definetely bootlegs with just a little bit more energy in it. The performance is right, but that's it.
After Pink, Steven tell the audience that he "really loves that song." Before Rag Doll, he yells: "What's happenin'?" The end of Rag Doll is missing, I guess somebody recorded it on a 90 minutes tape, so after 45 minutes the tape had the turned.
Something's Gotta Give starts of with bit of jamming, mainly Steven on his harmonica. He also plays a small part of the Big Ten Inch Record intro. I don't know if it's due to the audience recording or not, but this songs sounds a bit messy during the chorus.
Dream On contains the high voicing part, as on A Little South of Sanity. (Lucky us - when you once heard that one, most of the versions not having it aren't worth listening to). It's almost an exception, but there are no alternate, I repeat, no alternate lyrics in Sweet Emotion, so this time Steven is only "Eating out your hand," instead of doing other things with it or letting 'you' eat stuff.
Sweet Emotion is immediately followed by Rats in the Cellar, the boys seem to be warmed up - or it was them just knowing the end of the show would soon be there? There's no instrumental silence between 'Rats' and 'Toys,' too.
Indeed, after 'Toys' Steven tells the audience they're just getting warmed up. And that they actually have a time curfew and that the police says they're going to put them all in jail. "Actually, I think that's a good idea [..]"
Joe is introducing Falling Off as the song "that is on the B-side of our single." Then it seems he doesn't know the title of the single. A little while later, he says it's the Hole in my Soul single. Was he so nervous or just excited? At the end of Dude, you can hear some drums, sounding like Mother Popcorn or Walk This Way. Then there's a silence (gap in the recording - so something is clearly missing), followed by the intro of the Get a Grip album and of course: Walk this Way.
