Recording comments
This is a very nice recording although a few tracks are missing due to the original taper losing the additional tape. Too bad! Good thing this one is preserved as it captures the ambience of the venue very well. [jgromada]
Show memories
I was at this show and I can tell you the performance was first rate by Peter. He was joined on the stage during the final number or two by David Rhodes then of Random Hold. Speaking of Random Hold there is a web site ( http://www.manzanera.com/Randoms/breakup.htm ) that describes the demise of Random Hold and specifically mentions this show after the band managed to get lost and almost didn't make it. Well I can tell you from my observation that they were apalling and I was not surprised in the least that they were defunct! Oh well at least it ended up being a long term benefit to Peter.
