Vale:- It also includes an interview with the late & great Peter Granger, who was the sound engineer for the Brothers in arms tour. Peter sadly died on 26th October 1986 as a consequence of injuries caused by a hit and run driver. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb12/articles/mixing-live-legends.htm

The concert which was scheduled for Tuesday, 5 March 1986
had to be re-scheduled to Wednesday, 5 March 1986, due to dangerous high winds, which prevented the roof of the stage being built.
