This is a great stereo sbd recording with wonderful small theater ambience. Wonderful to compare how meaty the performnces are on this show compared to the wimpy versions on Plays Live. [pablo]
Show memories
Peter also forgets some lyrics during "I Have The Touch" (from "pull my chin, strock my hair" to "shrug my shoulders, stretch my back").
He also has to wait before starting "The Family And The Fishing Net" because of a problem in the audience between people who want to stand up and people who want to sit down.
During "Games Without Frontiers" Peter seems to have a technical problem with his microphone after the first verse. Before starting the second verse we can clearly hear Peter saying "back again, on the air".
"Lay Your Hands On Me" has a long intro apparently due to Peter's difficulties to start his vocals(before beginning the first verse he says "take three"). [peter]

Interesting incident

Peter forgets the lyrics to solsbury hill and a roadie has to bring out the words for him to read off a paper and the songs restarted.
