Encore 4: 32. A Forest 33. Boys Don't Cry
I wasn't sure how this would turn out. I think it's better than I expected, but there are a few minor issues that I will describe.
I don't normally like to keep the intros, but I left most of this one because of the audible voices complaining about people standing up despite having seats. This explains all the noise in the intro of "Out of This World". I was all situated with my recorder and hadn't anticipated standing up. I had to do some adjustment. Sorry. (The "needs to be louder" comment was presumably referring to the music; it certainly wasn't directed at me.) The subsequent cheering is in reference to Robert Smith finally turning around to face the audience.
I edited the encore breaks and outro, as is my preference, but made sure to keep all of Robert's banter. The break between the third and fourth encores is so short, though, that I left that one in.
Everyone in my section suddenly started sitting down in the middle of "The End of the World". (I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't like that song.) At about :42 you can hear the sound noticably change as I too sit down, although there is not any mic handling noise. There is, however, mic handling noise between a few other songs, but very rarely during the songs themselves. I did my best. The audience stood up again in the middle of "A Forest", but you can't really tell when I stood up as well.
Other issues: Someone near me sneezes in the middle of "Never Enough" (about 1:29 and 1:31). There is an annoying loud burst of audience cheering during the "Hello?" outro of "Wrong Number" (about 5:18). There are a lot of guest vocals from the women next to me. Thankfully they are on key and not too loud. However, they are just about always present. They even knew the words to the b-sides.
Lastly, Robert teases a song after "In Between Days", but I cannot tell what it is. I can rarely understand his banter as it is, but after he sings a line or two, he says, "I tell you, Austin's getting to me."

I'm up to Last Dance, and whilst I love it, it annoys me that Reeves doesn't play all the notes exactly correctly, rather plays a slightly simplified version in places.
I know, I know, but shut up...
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!
