This audience recording sounds pretty bad, but it is still listenable. There is significant distortion throughout and a lot of hiss. The date and venue of this recording are unknown, and only an approximate date range can be inferred based on the performance. There are several notable things about this concert, but the most notable is the unique version of "I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead" with totally different lyrics, which are transcribed below and also added as subtitles on the video:

----

There's a new sound and it's all around and I think that you can hear it too
The sound won't stop and I like it a lot cause it makes me feel so new

There's a new sound and it's all around and I think that you can hear it too
The sound won't stop and I like it a lot cause it makes me fondly think of you
It's getting stronger all the time and I like to hear it in my mind

I'm smiling big because I'm thinking of you and of all the times you smile
And I know we're together in love forever
And I'll love that til we die
The lovely feeling in my head and I might be happy forever dead

I know you don't want me going away and you broke my heart in two
I cried and I cried cause I wanted to die I wanted just to be with you
Things are spinning in my head and I sometimes wish that I was dead
