Setlist incomplete. Based on below review.

Here's an early Soft Boys review, from "Sounds" (Jan. 21, 1978)

THE SOFT BOYS
Red Cow

AAAH, SOFT Boys. `Soft Machine' and `Wild Boys'? Maybe. Specialize in surreal shaggy dog stories/parodies laid over a solid rock base. Recently out from Cambridge, new group in a position to profit from context of change offered by punk...
Are at the same time very funny and very danceable. Lead singer, rangey, talks to/works at winning an audience -- spontaneity incorporated to reflect the reaction. Tonight people willing to listen, appreciative -- group unfazed by occasional shouts of `psychedelic'...
Often, they are. Rhythm base is usually R&B, punk (often with tricky time signatures -- remember them?) with frequent Haight St. flashes, and stoned lateral-think humour. Short and sharp. Song titles: `I Wanna Be Your Anglepoise' (dedicated to Joey Ramone?) `Trying To Talk To You Is Like Trying To Talk To A Gramophone' [1], `Severed Sally' [2], `Wading Through A Ventilator' (the 45), `The Face Of Death' ... another (title lost) is a protest song about people who are always right'. Each song discreet, a world of its own, intense.
Still at the small club stage. An agreeable informality. Occasional harpist [3] joins. Fine versions of `Cold Turkey', `Heartbreak Hotel', `Clear Spot' ... the last hints at more serious undertones often obscured by looning (as in `Idiosyncratic World View'): for sure, as Iggy an all-pervasive influence in 1977, so Beefheart to be (one) in 1978 (Devo, Pere Ubu for two. Illustrate...) Give it to the Soft Boys, then: it being time, tolerance, open ears ...

[1] This song is really `Look Into Your Mirror',
[2] "Severed Sally" must refer to Which of Us is Me, which contains the line "Altogether be my eighth / Apologize to seventh Sally"
[3] the harmonica (mouth harp). Probably referring to Jim Melton
