Notes:

Long overdue visit by Robin and friends (the 2006 show at the Ferry was cancelled at the last moment on Council noise restriction grounds) and it was good to see them on form in front of an appreciative crowd. The gig was unsurprisingly sold out. Great to hear my fave, Bridge Of Sighs and just generally to listen to Robin's superb guitar playing and the sounds he gets from his guitar and pedal board - I love the tone on Twice Removed... It was also great to hear Davey on song, not that Pete and Dave are anything else than an excellent backline. I enjoyed the playing all round.

Even though he died in 2002, the sadly missed James Dewar was the subject of song dedication with For Earth Below and Hannah. RIP JD.

I see from Soreballs great recording and other previously posted shows, that the set list doesn't really change. Not that I was particularly bothered on this occasion, as it was my first time catching Robin live, despite being a fan since the early 80s. My bad.

Pretty decent sounding recording - nice clear sound - with only the (very) odd drunken nutter baying mindlessly across the crowd. Thank heavens for cards! Omnis would have picked up every cretin in the building. Taped from DFC, just forward of the board. Robin's vocals at the beginning of Twice Removed... were a bit buried in the PA mix, but improves. You will also hear the PA cutting out for about ten seconds near the end of Go My Way, with only the stage amplification keeping it going. In one or two quieter moments, you might hear a train going over - it was the Arches, after all :-) It's a great venue and my first visit was to see Underworld way back in the early 90s.

The Aynsley Lister Band ably provided quality support act duties on this evening - also recorded. I hope to catch them live on their own sometime soon.

Please support Mr Trower by buying his albums & merch, and by going to see the band live.
