note by METRO_CUBO:
So many memories from this show. First of all, we had a friend who was able to obtain an advance copy of the Calling All
Stations album by Genesis. If you consider that it was the first one with the new singer, eveyone was extremely curious!!!
We all went to my car, put the disc in the cd player, and listened in silence. On the first listen, I remember it was
not bad. Second souvenir, the lunch with the band. Cannot tell too much but John Goodsall was a bit wasted there. Third,
it was awfully hot inside the theatre. So hot that I left my recorder alone in the balcony and went outside to take a
breathe of fresh air.
The show was excellent indeed. Of course this was no 70's Brand X but Goodsall was in good shape as well as Percy Jones.
And what a surprise to listen to Mahavishnu's covers!
