A complete
change of band since the last time I saw the band - and not for
the better in my opinion. After the first night I wished I hadn't
bought tickets for both nights. |

and that was pretty much where I would rather have been. |

I managed
to blag a front row ticket on the day of the show from someone that
couldn't make the gig. I wasn't a big Plant (or Zep) fan but the
chance was too good to pass up. My first, and most ingrained, memory
of the show is how short Plant was and how baggy and wrinkled his
jeans were. And so another rock legend crumbled in my mind. His
voice was good as were the band though and I actually went out and
bought a Plant CD after this. |

More theatrics and less 'common' classic tracks but still a great

This was
my last gig as a resident of Edinburgh. Support was a Welsh good
band the singer of which would feature in the mid 1990's section
of this list fronting Skin. Saxon were again Saxon, enjoyable but
probably not quite as much as the first time. |

A dull,
misty and damp day near RAF Leuchars in, not surprisingly, Fife.
This was the last Marillion show with Fish and there was no need
for dry ice or smoke here - the haar rolling in did that job nicely.
Marillion had been recording material for their next album in a
nearby castle but this all fell apart soon after this show. Some
of the tracks recorded then appear on the double remastered Clutching
at Straws CD and provide an interesting look at the how the pre
Hoghart era Marillion ideas were split into Marillion and solo Fish
material after the split. |
