The Monday Set: Peter Murphy – Rome, Italy – 5-28-86

Peter Murphy
Pipers Club
Rome, Italy
5/28/86

I have yet to come across an earlier Peter Murphy solo show than this one from Italy. There are a couple of recordings from July of ’86 floating out there but the quality all of the ’86 shows, including this one, are average at best.

Setlist:
1. Canvas Beauty
2. The Light Pours Out of Me
3. God Sends
4. Confessions
5. She’s In Parties
6. Should the World Fail to Fall Apart
7. The Answer Is Clear
8. Spirit
9. The Passion of Lovers
10. Never Man
11. Blue Heart
12. Kick In The Eye (Cut)

Sample:

I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

Magnetic Fields – Andrew In Drag (Live)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i.

thanks for this!

I think the best early recording I have is that RPM Fantasy Club show from ’87 that I posted earlier this year.

all’s quiet on the Peter Murphy front as far as that NYC show from the last tour ever being released. is there a statute of limitations on how long to wait before posting the full gig?
