Well, what can I say? What a truly magnificent show. The band were on top form, the audience were simply superb, and EVERYONE enjoyed themselves. This is the recording that I'd always dreamed of making and, thankfully, I think I've done it justice. How I managed to keep my feet still for almost 90 minutes, I'll never know!I'd like to dedicate this recording to Pete Chambers for his unerring ability to keep the memory of this great band alive over the years. Cheers Pete.
Shortly after making this recording public for the first time I discovered that it had been bootlegged and offered for sale in several places. Although there's nothing I can do about it after the event, it still pisses me off. Please share what you download. Keep the music free or people like me may stop sharing these coveted recordings.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. :-)
