comments:
 although this is the tour of their 1987 album, 
they play one new song in here from the next one 
change (1989) called "a new South Wales", protesting the 
economic (and enviornmental) deterioration of the band's homeland.
Three songs heard in  1985's "strength" are included too
(knife edge,  absolute reality and spirit of '76), and at least 
three from the 1st "declaration" album, 68 guns, blaze of glory
and howling wind.
