>>>>>> I Dream of Wires >> MISSING!

This has taken a very long time to track down!

Also the running order was slightly confusing...I received it in three files from a contact I found online - thanks go out there - and Sneakin' Sally appeared twice. Once during the gig (but at a slightly louder volume level, which was curious), and at the the end, with the ending cut off very slightly earlier than on the former version.

I had an old file listing tracklists of hard to find Robert Palmer concerts, copied from a Robert Palmer website that disappeared quite a few years back...Take Good Care of You was listed at the end, and Sneakin'Sally wasn't there at all.

The tracklist was otherwise the same...after Jealous, these were the last tracks listed -
I Dream Of Wires
Good care of You

I have elected to leave Good Care of You in its place...the audience seem quite quiet, which suggests the start of the gig, I couldn't not detect any splice between this track and What Do You Care.

Interestingly Sneakin' Sally ends with a a couple of synth sounds just after, which suggests it preceded I Dream of Wires, therefore I believe that wuold been the last track. Certainly where the recording cuts off it doesn't sound like the end of the gig - in all the Robert Palmer gigs I can remember hearing he does more often that not offer the courtesy of saying goodnight and thank you for before exiting the stage.

So, enjoy...and if anyone has the missing track, I Dream of Wires, or indeed any of the rare recordings below, please upload them or get in touch. Thanks.
