1984-10-21 Seattle - Paramount Theatre (USA/WA)
This concert was scheduled for 21st October 1984 but was postponed to 23rd october 1984, as the band had problems getting into the country.
But this may have been an excuse to give the new drummer, Vince Ely, more time to learn the songs after Andy Anderson was kicked out of the band on October 18.

Robert: "So we arrived on the West Coast of America with a three week tour ahead of us, without a drummer
and in a bit of a panic. We were in this bar deciding whether to cancel the tour or whether Lol should drum and we should carry on as a four piece when Phil phoned up a mate of his, Vince Ely, who used to drum
with The Psychedelic Furs but who was now living in this beach house with someone from The Go Gos, mellowing out as a West Coast producer. Vince hadn't drummed in a band for about two years but he was up for it so he did a day and a half's rehearsal with us and played 11 concerts, 40 minute sets, learning the songs in soundcheck. Unfortunately, he was doing advertising work, producing jingles or something, so we knew he'd have to leave the tour somewhere around Texas. Again we thought of playing as a four piece but again Phil put out a call, this time to Boris Williams who he'd met drumming with The Thompson Twins and Kim Wilde.
