Very good gig (OK, with the occasional dodgy vocal), very good sound quality (sounds like a soundboard to me?), and some interesting arrangements - no doubt due, in part, to Deke Leonard's enforced absence.
Martin Ace says on the CD that Deke was missing due to a motorcycle accident - in fact he was still recovering from the stroke that he had suffered earlier that year.
A quote from their roadie Roger Hoodless from "The Welsh Connection" (Man fanzine) Dec 1996/Jan 1997 issue:
"There was a strange night in Zotsenbach. A hippy club that looked like the cover of 'Rhinos'...well, sort of! The stage had a triple arched wall to the front which opened onto an open area with tiered seats up to where the mixing desk was situated. In the middle of the floor was a huge coffee table, around which were sofas and easy chairs, so it was more like a party in a large living room.
It may have been me thinking that Deke would have loved this place but at a point during the intro to 'C'mon' I was checking the sound desk and I could swear Deke's guitar was playing. It was so clear in my head that I had to open my eyes and check the stage - that's as far as I got, for a clip-on mic on the drums decided to do the first of what was to be many suicidal leaps off the kit and rather spoilt the moment."
Lineage: CD-Rs (received in trade) -> EAC v0.99 -> FLAC.
Big thanks to Pete for sending me the CD-Rs.
Sorry, but there is no artwork.
