So lots of people wondering, showed up, but Robert Smith was feeling sick that night. It didn't prevent the band to get good reviews and even sympathy, certainly because of the sickness, the "charity-rack instruments" and Lol's drumkit keeping falling over. The show included two encores. At this point, they probably played most of the Three Imaginary Boys album along with Boys Don't Cry, Plastic Passion, Killing An Arab and Do The Hansa.
