This is a good to very good quality (depending on your judgement) audience recording from the Birmingham
City football ground, where Robert played at a big event where UB40 headlined. The Pogues also played,
I've lost my references of who else played. The crowd are a bit chatty, but it's a good performance and
well received gig, and despite having many familiar numbers, some of the arrangements are a little different.
The crowd do join in the yodelling on 'Change His Ways'!

The only thing I did was re-balance the sound (it was biased to the right), and the odd treble reduction
when it crept up too much, and some levelling of volume fluctuations, otherwise I left it as is.

I have read that the gig was filmed, and at least two of Robert's songs were shown on television, on the show
"UB40 Sing The Blues" (they healined the gig). Addicted to Love (with UB40's horn section) is on youtube
(in stereo too), and Robert guesting in UB40's set, singing the Randy Travis song "On The Other Hand" with
them. Could someone seed a decent - stereo if possible - video of the show maybe?

Enjoy
