The venue was a (celebrated) arts cinema most of the time, but occasionally put on gigs by left-field bands (a few weeks after this performance, Throbbing Gristle played). The end of the concert was played with an out of focus horror film projected onto the band. Note that at this time, just after the release of their 'Health & Efficiency' single, there were not three, but four members.: Charles Hayward on drums; Gareth Williams on bass and keyboards; Charles Bullen on guitar; Peter Bullen on mixdesk, and tapes and effects. I suspect the recording is by his hand, too.
This is the best recording of a This Heat concert I’ve ever heard. The performance is amazing too. Health and Efficiency and Makeshift Swahili sound top tier here
Even though it's not actually stated in the tracklist, is Diet of Worms being played after Makeshift Swahili, right before The Fall of Saigon? I just thought it sounded familiar.

Yes, I do think that is ‘Diet of Worms,’ I noticed that too but the bootleg didn’t have it in the track listing so I didn’t bother. - THA
