not a happy gig, technically. the power went out on the stage while we were soundchecking, & when it came back, a couple of things weren't working anymore, necessitating a lot of hurried reprogramming into the remaining synth module, the old faithful ("urrr! why've you got one of *those*? the filters don't resonate!" etcetera) 64-voice alesis s4+, which was really only there anyway for good luck & a couple of steve's favourite sounds.

steve comes back to the stage as the reprogramming is finished:
"dare I ask- how's it going?"
"so... you can't do this, this or this, & these faders won't do anything today."
"have I got an electric piano that morphs into strings?"
"well, yes..."
"& the drums still work. we'll be fine."

we got through the set & almost immediately duncan succumbed to a migraine, the sort that deprives the victim of speech.

so this has been sat in the archives since then. a couple of tech edits, & actually it's not all that bad. nice to hear the early versions of things like "bettr'r day-s" & "syd", & in amongst all this is a speech by steve which prefigured the RFIG album, in as much as mr barrett was still alive at the time of this gig.
