Overview

5th June 1984 at Het Doornroosje, Nijmegen.
A good quality bootleg, crowd noise is almost non-existant except for some of the louder shouts, but the sound is somewhat muffled at times. Possibly a mixing desk recording.
Some rather odd "big band" style music is played as an outro. It can also be heard as the intro on more complete versions of the gig. This music was used regularly during this tour.

The gig can be found on 2 CDs or on BitTorrent.

Quotes

"Hello there" (start of gig)
"Thank you thank you thank you... too much cocaine" (after Burn)
"Alright, this is called Heartland and it's about amphetamines and cars." (introducing Heartland)
"Hold on, there's something important we've got to do.. ... that's for sure.. we're going to go home tomorrow so we're not gonna see anybody here tonight tomorrow, so we're gonna make the most of it." (inbetween Heartland and Body and Soul)
"Anaconda!" (audience member after Body and Soul)

"Alright, calm down, rebel" (after an audience member shouts after some chords are played. Some more are played and a woman shouts too)
"Listen, love, we'll do the show, you just do the clapping"
(the audience claps)
"Yeah, that's the idea.. right, I'm going to decide what song to play now."
(a (German?) audience member shouts "Gimme Shelter!")
"No no no no nonononononono.. Anaconda!"
(inbetween Body and Soul and Anaconda)

"1969, yeaaah!" (audience member)
"No, we don't play that anymore.. too old.. and far too drunk. Mostly we're far too old."
"Yeah, I'll tell you *cough* Yeah right, I'll tell you what we will do."
"Shut up and play!" (audience member shouts, and Gary (or possibly Andrew(!)) plays some notes of 1969)
"Well that's what we WON'T do.. ah ah ah ah.. calm down, calm down! No, this is what we will do." (Gary/Andrew plays a few chords of Emma)
"No no no no no no.. No, I'm afraid.. right, yes, see what we're gonna do now is gonna get to be sensitive and things, we're gonna have to.. "sensitive", you know what that means? It means.." (Doktor starts playing)
"Emma."

"Right.. this is called Floorshow.. and for a very good reason!" (introducing Floorshow)

"Yeah."

"Well, it's your lot that plays it, my man." (just before Alice, after some chords of Smoke On The Water)
"Just gonna tune this guitar up!" (a minute or two after Sister Ray, before Fix)
