This gig, we have agreed, is definitely the one we took the most gear to! It marks the final appearance of the Mellotron in person, a rare chance to hear the Memory Moog...Steve's sequencers are being voiced by a pair of Moog Prodigys, there's Drums for the very first time live, and Gary is debuting his brand new limited edition Rory Gallagher Stratocaster.
The rehearsal recordings presented many surprises and a variety of interesting performances, and the best ones of each day are presented on 3 extra discs, all of it previously unheard.
After this, we scaled it all down with one eye on America, so enjoy this, RMI in peak 'arms race' mode.
