NOTES

Originally a poor audience recording which was tidied up nicely by Eric Brands – despite Mark is very low in the mix and the guitars/bass  tend to dominate. Notable for the noodling bit of an instrumental at track 12 which is unique in the canon.

Bob Stow says : “The venue was a bland Union hall. This was the ultimate performance of the Hex era two drummer group. “And This Day” lasted for 20 minutes (13 actually) . “The Classical” is still the most amazing thing I ever heard. “I’m into CB” also amazing. At the end Burns was pounding on the kit while Smith “played” the keyboard, the rest of the band and the audience having gone home drained, exhausted, alienated”.
