Known info:
'XTC Live at "The Marconi Club" Sydney, Australia July 20th, 1979
The First show of XTC's first Australian\Japaneese tour.
Broadcast Live on 2JJ Radio which was the local FM station in Sydney at that time. This station has now become JJJ, a nationwide FM station that services all of Australia.

The set list here is very indicative of the order and manner in which the tunes were played on the first Australian and Japaneese Tours. No Encores were played during this show probably due to time constraints. The encores on this tour normally consisted of some combination of these songs; Dance band, Statue Of Liberty, Into The Atom Age, Hang On To The Night and Neon Shuffle'
