A good size audience in a nice old Theatre with so so acoustics.
This was the gig where Dave Pegg became a teensy bit annoyed with the sound engineer. During the break the engineer left the board and could not be found, the band was annoyed at having to wait to go back onstage, also Peggy had complained about the monitor sound on several occasions during the show. When the band came back onstage to do an encore,Peggy caster out, threw his bass on the floor and referred to the engineer using the vulgar term used for a specific bit of the female anatomy.The band did do encores, but this was a very strange ( and amusing ) incident.
I recored this show but used inferior equipment ,so that not been used, this is a much better version, supposedly a soundboard but you can hear the audience applause, so who knows, might be a matrix, it stretched across two tapes , unfortunately the main one being a TDK D, and the encores on a TDK SA .
Lineage.
