Johnny Too Bad: Interrupted at 1am by news, edit at 2min 55sec. Unbafukinlevable, who was the radio producer? Silly Twat!!

Interesting bits:
Could've Been Me: Listen to the beginning of this song you will hear someone shouting "DON'T PLAY THAT". The man who shouted 'DON'T PLAY THAT' was sitting in front of me at the gig, he stood up out of his chair and held his hand up in a stop position as he shouted (I can still see this in my mind's eye whenever I listen to the gig). The next song in the running order of the gig is 'One World', as John introduces the song he says "Sorry about that old boy but I really have to sing about it". John was looking at that man as he said 'Sorry about that old boy but I really have to sing about it'. It was definitely a valid apology of some sort, I have often wondered what for.
Dealer: Between Johnny Too Bad & Dealer you can hear shouts of 'ALAN, ALAN.... WATCH THIS GUY' and some cheering and some laughter. Well I was 15yr old a bit drunk and stoned it was late and I was having a bit of a crashout/whitey ［(－－)］ZZzzz... and my pals were trying to wake me up, I did wake up :) The main voice shouting is one 'Colin Millar'. Just before John starts Dealer he says "It was nothing really it was nothing, all a mater of practice". Always gives me a giggle :-)

I was at the concert and I seem to be the only person with an original recording of this gig, it is from the radio, I was given the original cassette few weeks after the gig. The radio station doesn't have the original recording (I have asked them). I think they only broadcasted it. I am a sound engineer with the facilities to enhance the quality of the C90 cassette. I put it into ProTools ran it through Z-Noise to reduce tape hiss, an SSL EQ to give some sparkle back then re-mastered it with Sony Oxford Inflator. Enjoy :-)
