I was at this gig (...). The venue was Palmerston North Show Grounds, now known as "Arena Manawatu" - an awful basketball-stadium venue, but with a decent capacity so there was a big crowd (by NZ standards). There was no support band; they played the Carnage Visors movie as the intro, which made the crowd rather restive. The gig was good, but the second encore was brilliant; the house lights came up, the crowd started leaving, but after 10 minutes, the lights went out again, the band came back on and Robert said "Now that the people who didn't want to see us have gone…" Then they played Boys Don't Cry followed by a sort of jam session that went on for a long time.
