Remarks

This was the last night on tour with the Buzzcocks. Ian Curtis requested the PA guy to play the song "On the Way" from the film Nosferatu's original soundtrack, to pay tribute. You can hear it at the beginning of the tape.
Werner Herzog was one of Ian Curtis' favourite film directors. It is known that one of the last things Ian Curtis did, just prior to committing suicide in 1980, was watch the film ‘Stroszek’, as well as listen to Iggy Pop's The Idiot
