I attended the April 20th, 1980 show at the Palladium, and wrote down the setlist; which I saved.  So, here is what they played:
 
1. Bass/ Drums   (intro to 'Fodderstompf' as the band entered)
2. Careering
3. Annalisa
4. Attack
5. Low Life
6. Fodderstompf
7. Swan Lake
8. Memories
9. Public Image
10. Another
11. Poptones
12. At this point Johnny and Keith left the stage and the audience continued to sing 'Poptones'.  Then Wobble and the drummer returned and continued to play.
13. Bass / Drums instrumental
14. Bass / Drums instrumental (I think they were playing 'Socialist' … but can’t be sure)
 
So, it wasn’t such a short show, and clearly was longer than 30 minutes as was stated in the review of the Great Gildersleeve show.   In fact, I’m sure they played for over an hour.
 
I personally thought they were fantastic and didn’t feel cheated by the length of the show.
