This audience recording doesn’t sound as good as the soundboard from the previous night in Oxford previously posted here, but it’s the only complete concert from 1987 we have in the archives, including “Above and Below” and “Green and Purple” which were both missing from Oxford. This is from the brief period with both Hugh Hopper and Steve Franklin in the line-up, who clearly found some common ground as demonstrated by their subsequent collaboration in Conglomerate and the 2001 quartet session with Charles Hayward and Simon Picard. Along with Phil’s material, Elton, Steve and Hugh each contribute a piece, most notably Steve’s otherwise unrecorded “Small Creatures”.
