This is something I got from Rich from 2 sources.  There were probably a few more songs played, but this is everything that exists from this show.

If you're a fan of GO4 than you're gonna enjoy hearing this really great quality recording.

So now for the first time,  we get this show in it's most complete form.

Thanks goes to Rich for suppyling these recordings, samples provided.

    Many many thanks for this, circle - a gift for the New Year!

    Some info for Gangologists:

    "Gang of Four - 80.12.31 New Years Eve at Hurrah's, NYC
    American tour with Mekons and Au Pairs.
    Video version includes 3-track encore. Not on audio version.

    01.Damaged Goods
    02.In the Ditch
    03.It's Her Factory
    04.Armalite Rifle
    05.Waiting For My Elevator*
    VIDEO TITLES
    06.He'd Send In The Army ?
    XX 21.16 CLOSING CAPTIONS, end of mp3 version, video distorts but sound not ...
    07. Not Great Men
    08. Anthrax
    09. Damaged Goods encore."
    * = unreleased early track, only known to have been played at 24.02.1979 Nashville (aka "UK 79"), 02.03.1979 Amsterdam Paradiso and 31.12.1980 New York City, Hurrah's. Track also covered live by the Mekons whose presence at Hurrah's probably explains this late outing for the track. In turn, the Go4 covered the Mekons' Rosanne several times. For the other versions of Elevator and the Mekons tracks, see
