Well it was the *only* purple gig I'd been to but it was one of the
best of any band I've seen.

Well - 'Into the Fire' riff actually.

Rest of the set list is about right for order except 'blind man' was next
to last.
Boy - Steve was impressive ! ( not to say the rest weren't but.... )
Excellent sound for what is basically a medium sized sports hall, without
any acoustic baffles.
High points - No One Came, Blind Man, Highway Star.
Nice to see a short version of Smoke - RG digging out the old Rickenbacker
bass for that one track.
'Screaming' starts with SM and RG playing acoustic 6-strings on stands for
the first verse.
I'd be interested to know what Jon and/or Roger thought of the venue and
the crowd - the crowd seemed to me to be full of a lot of 'casual' fans.
I couldn't hear much audience reaction during songs, although all got a
good reception at the end. I just got the impression that some of the
more casual fans were losing the track a bit in the middle when there came
a succession of new songs + some more obscure ( to them ) older songs.
Surprised ( but not too bothered ) at there being no Anya, Child in Time,
Anyone's Daughter - the only slight disappointment for me was no
Knockin' at your Back Door.
Those of you still to see them - enjoy the show - I'm sure you will !
