Mirek Plodzik writes to BtP: 'I have seen yesterday show in Dolina Charlotty. It was long evening. Procol Harum as the main star of the night. About four thousands of people at the audience (or little more). Short after Pandora's Box we got a rain. Some of people left the amphitheatre before AWSoP. But the show was great. Excellent sound.' Chris Cooke adds, 'another good version of AWSoP with guitar solo. The moment for me was Gary introducing Grand Hotel, being interrupted by large thunderclap and lightning, and going straight into Whaling Stories.' We gather that the rain caused problems for the PA amps that were not under cover.


Occasionally reports vary about the order of songs in a show. BtP also received the listing below, which shows the same songs, but in a rather different order (thanks, Mac).

Gig starts approx. 11:30 pm: Bringing Home the Bacon / Homburg / Whaling Stories (starting lightning, remote thunders) / Beyond the Pale (starts drizzling)  / Pandora’s Box / One Eye on the Future / Barnyard Story / As Strong as Samson / Robert’s Box / Strangers in Space / Simple Sister (terrential  rain)  / Wall Street Blues / An Old English Dream / A Salty Dog | A Whiter Shade of Pale (encore) (keeps raining, no further encore, audience leaving…). 1 am, end of the concert.

A subsequent mailing, from Dr Fritz Friedl (who also contributed the ticket-scan), confirms absolutely that the set list was as follows:
Bringing Home the Bacon / Homburg / Beyond the Pale / Pandora’s Box / One Eye on the Future / As Strong as Samson / Whaling Stories / What Shall we Do with the Drunken Sailor - short quotation form Gary and Geoff, answered by the
audience / Wall Street Blues / An Old English Dream / Barnyard Story / Robert’s Box / Strangers in Space / Simple Sister / A Salty Dog | A Whiter Shade of Pale (encore)
