Manual Scan set list 1984 San Francisco

From Myspace: "Manual Scan set list Kabuki Theatre San Francisco 1984 , opening for General Public"- The band at the time consisted of Bart Mendoza, Kevin Ring, Ron Friedman and David Anderson. They played two nights at this venue with General Public on November 1 and November 2, so this is from one of those two shows. Manual Scan played a second gig the night of the November 2, heading to Sacramento for a late night set at Club Can't Tell, straight from the Kabuki Theatre aka The Japan Center Theatre. General Public was the post English Beat band formed by Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger, which at the time of these shows also included Horace Panter of the Specials on bass and two former members of Dexy's Midnight Runners, Andy "Stoker" Growcott on drums and Mickey Billingham, as well as Kevin White on guitar.
