This was a quickly arranged tour.
A near capacity Retford audience showing some reverance to Mr.Nelson, so little or no talking when songs are being played.
Bill makes reference to the disco which was on the floor below.

The recording turned out very well considering the equipment of the time.


First time on Dime - 25th December 2005.
