------------------
Saturday, 15 December 1990 Lancashire Polytechnic, Preston
No tape exists? Darren: "For what it's worth, this was a pummelling set performed to a half-full hall – a massive improvement on the lacklustre effort at Preston Guildhall earlier that year. The only songs I can remember them doing are Arms Control Poseur (a heavy, grinding version) and Victoria.
Peter: "We travelled to this one from Liverpool with dreadful hangovers after a good party to find a deserted town as we turned up on the wrong night. i.e. 16th December, Sunday night – which may be why it was half-full! I'm sure it was advertised as the 16th or may be just stupid."
The December tour poster posted above suggests that Sheffield was planned for this date, so perhaps there was a late switch to Preston. If anyone knows the story, please write in.
