In Cahoots – Brentwood, Monkey’s – 29 October 1989
This is one of the recordings alluded to in our previous download from this tour (Southampton University) – a relatively good audience recording but suffering at times from serious tape wear. Thankfully this happened mostly at the start of each of the cassette sides, and as the actual start of each set was missed by the taper anyway, we’ve just chopped off an extra 30 seconds or so and faded in from that point. The rest of the performance is mostly fine, although for an optimal representation of this era, the excellent-sounding Nijmegen radio broadcast is still the recommended point of entry. Still, 1989 In Cahoots is always welcome, as there are not many live versions of new setlist additions, Phil’s “For The Moment” and “Red Shift” and Steve Franklin’s “All Is Not Lost”, available, not to mention the never-included-on-an-album Franklin piece “SOL”.
Phil Miller – guitar, guitar-synth
Elton Dean – alto sax & saxello
Steve Franklin – keyboards
Fred Baker – bass
Pip Pyle – drums
Having moved to Southend in Essex Brentwood became the nearest venue they played and saw them there a few times and later at Chelmsford without having to trek to London unless when I was working there 😀
Hi,
I’m wondering why the files of tracks 4 & 8 include those inscriptions: “INCA Eindhoven ’89 first set SA-X 90” for the first and “C203 INCA Eindhoven’89 second set” for the 2nd. Any comment?

The most likely explanation is that’s because that’s how the unsplit cassette transfers were originally labelled, based on what was written on the cassette box (and the number we assigned to it, in this case C203) rather than on the cassette itself, which probably did say Brentwood. There are many cases in the archive where the information on the tape box is wrong. And sometimes that original information remains in the file name as it shows up regardless of my renaming it.
