This
was the first gig I think I ever reviewed. Around this time I was
creating a little Deep Purple fanzine and this show was my featured
review. A couple of months later Gillan was oput of Purple and rather
sad but tonight, other than a dodgy voice, he gave us his all in
a small and crowded venue. I still have some copies of this (very)
limited collectors edition should you be daft enough to want one. |

An
early start to the show and a late lie in after a night shift meant
I missed the support band (Little Angels possibly) and I didn't
reckon the Scotland's great white hope Gun. Bit of a wasted trip
really. Someone emailed me to disagree with my view on Gun but all
I can say is that it is JUST MY VIEW. |

A
couple of charity shows for the local Lifeboat association and only
the third gig the new solo Fish had played (the previous two being
another charity show for the victims of the Lockerbie plane crash
and a fanclub gig in Holland. Tonight was the first proper gig with
the band that recorded the State of Mind single (which the tour
promoted) and forthcoming album Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors. |

Having
to back on shift I missed the Berwick and Dingwall shows but caught
up with the tour at home in Elgin for the third date of the tour
proper. Fish appeared in the local record shop for a signing session
as I think this was the day of release. I'll try to dig out the
local paper clipping and add it to the page. I think it has to be
the only time I've seen an Elgin gig reviewed in a national rock
mag - RAW. |

Second
last gig of the first solo Fish tour. I was in Reading on a training
course and as this show fell on a Saturday gell on a Saturday I
headed into London to see if tickets were still available having
enjoyed the early shows I'd seen. The box office said sold out so
a rather sad me began the walk back to the tube. About a hundred
yards down the road I spotted a couple of familiar faces; the Brzezicki
brothers - two of the band. I said hello and mentioned I'd seen
the earlier shows in the wastes of Scotland and they were good enough
to offer to put my name on the guest list. Excellent, thanks guys.
The show is supposedly available as the first disc and first 3 songs
of the second on 'The Complete BBC Sessions'. The title is slightly
misleading as State of Mind and Internal Exile are missing from
the CD (probably as they were not broadcast and therefore dumped).
I say supposedly as the gig was the penultimate of the tour but
fish says on the CD that it is the last night of the tour. In the
Nov 1989 newsletter he mentions that "Radio 1 are recording
Nov 12 at the Town & Country Club, London for transmission in, I
think, December." So, believe what you will, the official Fish
site these days claims the date to be the 11th but there is no mention
on the CD of a date for either show. |
