This show was uploaded to Dime with the date June 22nd 1989, at the Barwon Club in Geelong. I believe this is incorrect for the following reasons:
- The video is timestamped 4. 6. 1990, and there is a banner in the background that says The District Club.
- The gig poster used in the DVD menu says 2 shows only. The Melbourne date is blacked out but the Geelong date is Sun (22). June 22nd 1989 was a Thursday. The only Sundays that fell on the 22nd of a month were January and October. There is a recording of a Rollins show from Sydney, on February 2nd 1989.
I can't find full tour dates from either 1989 or 1990, however there was a live CD released that the band recorded in Australia on May 22nd 1990, which would be about two weeks prior to the date stamped on this video. The setlist isn't identical, but similar enough that, including the above points, I'm listing this show as being from June 1990. As for the venue? Rollins mentions Geelong by name, so that parts right at least.
**** Dec 2019 update: tour dates listed below for both years. I'm certain that this show is the June 4 1990. The only question that remains is the venue. Was it the Eureka Hotel as advertised or was it a last minute change to the District?
