I love the live version of Dortmund '80:
"News" was dedicated to John Lennon, who was shot. So it's a special song!
And I think in the live version of this song are some elements that become later part of Private Inverstigation. Have to check it out again!

79 was quite close to the recordings IMO, not bad at all, but since the early 80ies the songs began to evolve more and more when played in front of an audience. To be honest, I don't like the frequent use of synthesizer sounds that became part of some songs.

Yeah, a lot of the arrangements are better described as being interesting rather than great IMO.  The synths just killed Sultans on that tour.
