Was listening to the Cryptic Flowers bootleg lp the other day.

It says on it 'recorded Germany November 1984' and has been identified previously as 8th November at the Bremen Schlachthof.

However when compared with the Before Darkness CD boot, the last two tracks on the lp don't appear to be from this gig at all: BD has Ghostrider/Sister Ray, but CF has Sister Ray, which appears to end, but then kicks into Louie Louie after a short fade.

So which is correct? No gig tracklisting i have ever seen lists the SR-LL encore, although the sound of these tracks is similar to the rest of the CF lp (which is definitely from the correct gig).

Does anyone have the complete gig? I think Emma and A Rock And A Hard Place are the only two tracks which are missing from the combined I Can't Wait...; Before Darkness and Cryptic Flowers boots.

your copy has the amsterdam paradiso gig 1983
if i remember correctly from what Taylor once said
all versions of CF have the 1983 gig except the black vinyl which has the 84 gig

Interesting! I have the black vinyl, and compared it against the Before Darkness cd, and all but the last two are from Bremen 08/11/84. I shall compare with Possession, but I don't think that Sister Ray and Louie Louie are from there, as they don't seque in together exactly, and Ghost Rider is missing.

Black vinyl here too, but I always understood there was selections from maybe three concerts on it?

There's definitely 3 very distinct sounds there, anyway.
