Recording comments
Different source to the show below. Some tape speed problems on first track.

Tapeswitch in CS. Recording from the front of the venue. Tapeswitch in Entangled, a bit unstable afterwards. Some channel instabilities. Fluttering in the background on the silent parts, caused by the noise-reduction. Tapeswitch in Apocalypse 9/8. Heavy bass-drums by Bill Bruford. [WBeens]
Show memories
Tony's keyboard gets stuck in the beginning of the instrumental part of the Cinema Show.
Phil reacts to what the tapers say to him.
No encores were played at the early show (they did at the late show). [WBeens]

Recording comments
Incorrectly dated as 17-Jun-76. Phil says "I was trying to speak French last night" which puts this as the 16-Jun show. Same recording as "No French Today"
