> Seven Screaming Dizbusters
> I'd like to see you in black - new song by Eric
> Take Me Away
> Flaming Telepaths
> Cities on Flame with Rock'n'Roll
> Last Days of May - absolutely terrific arrangement with Buck playing
>                    virtuoso guitar licks as the tempo gets faster
> In thee (acoustic arrangement)
> LIPS IN THE HILLS - best number of the evening
> Burnin' for You
> Godzilla
> (Don't Fear) The Reaper

> Me262
> Dominance and Submission
> The Red and the Black

I think they played Before the Kiss in the list where you have 7
Screaming Dizbusters (London Dec 1995) - at least that's how I
remember it!!
