Cope Songs I Don't Recognise
Sep 15, 2021, 14:56
An old internet resource lists an MTV broadcast of a show by Julian at The Ritz, New York on 28/02/1987 or 06/04/1987 (sources vary).

The set list includes “The Garden” and “Bethlehem Girl”.

Any clues?

Jon!

When I read your post, I knew instinctively that "The Garden" must be a reference to the improvised lyrical poetry that lead into "World Shut Your Mouth."

As for "Bethlehem Girl," it's a reference to the improvised "emitting" during the latter part of "(I've Got) Levitation."

Hey, I was there, man. Just for the record, it was Feb 26, 1987.

"I was there"

Superb!

The set list is great. Has that broadcast found it's way on to the internet?

Cheers Seth.
