The
night was so hot that the South Bank DAT recorder broke
down and only caught half the concert. The half recorded
still had plenty of gems to enjoy. What would the album
be with the other half of the concert recorded?...we will
never know - It still is a great record of a great night.
Manjit Singh had not played with the band before that night.
