Quotes

“A very different atmosphere to the 1988 gigs. Clearly the band were struggling with inner tensions and turbulent interpersonal relationships, perhaps Phonogram/second album pressure too. Backstage was off limits to keep private whatever that day’s issues were, though in fairness Guy still coming out to meet and greet, putting on a brave PR face. Things had noticeably changed though. Even the soundcheck was a strained affair, despite the soundman’s humorous interjections. Thankfully the quality of performance for the gig didn’t suffer and the set list welcomed some interesting introductions old and new: Safe, Flow, Touch Me and Welt.” Tim Driver
