The late show on 02 June 1980 was the last of Lou's "warm-up" shows at the Bottom Line before he departed on a short European tour. Maybe it's a hangover of him having lost his temper after the verbal abuse of the early show, but Lou seems to interact less with the audience. It's a far straighter, more "professional" presentation - possibly he's just preparing himself for the upcoming tour. The European shows would mostly take place in big, football stadium-sized auditoria, not really the sorts of places which would encourage much interaction with a (foreign) audience.

This audience recording is incomplete. Also, the quality isn't quite as good as it is with the other shows from this residency - the audience seem a bit more boisterous and the recorder was possbly further from the stage.
