New York City, The Ritz 11th August 1987

Charity concert in favor of the American, Palestinian and Jewish children (to try to end with the Killing An Arab misunderstanding in America). The group just finished touring in the US promoting the new album, and playing some different songs was certainly a big change for them. The performance had quite a party atmosphere. Shiver And Shake was unusually shortened. Robert Smith added lyrics at the end of A Forest, some lines were also improvised on "Killing Everyone Else In The World" (Killing An Arab). This great concert ended with a medley of four songs including two covers ! Lol sang a part of Wild Thing, just like in the old days. Needless to say the band was a "little" drunk by then.
