The circulating soundboard (or fm?) tape "Fritz Club, Vienna, 1986" is in fact this gig. My copy of the soundboard is missing R.O.D.; not sure if all are like that. Bend Sinister is the ninth studio album by English post-punk band the Fall. It was released in September 1986 by record label Beggars Banquet.

I don't know whether this happened every night or just the night I went...but I remember MES writing on this sheet of paper - passed it over to Steve Hanley who was dressed in some strange papal uniform - who passed it on to an actor speaking a monologue. The actor theatrically described the whole happening as rubbish - screwed up the paper and threw it in a bin - and the scene ended. As the next scene began the actor brought the bin into the audience - and offered the screwed up sheet to my friend next to me. I was more of a Fall fan than my friend - so he immediately donated it to me - and that's what you see. Part of the scene I've just described is accounted for on the sheet above."
