The head of Matt Pegg's bass rig with hula-doll and galleon in sail ... some of the many toys and homunculi that decorated the stage. The hula-doll did not succeed in consoling Matthew Fisher, when his Leslie was playing up towards the end of the show. |
|||
Here's Geoff's Les Paul copy guitar by Sid Poole, as used for the encores in the show. Note also the faux grand piano, the golden Buddha, and the cuddly pig. |
|||
One-Eye mesmerised as Procol play Look to Your Soul ... the whole suite was destined for performance, but curfew put paid to that! |
|||
The usual suspects take their place in the front row, invited thither by Procol management. The seats could not be sold to regular fans, because of the presence of the camera-men (see background) |
|||
Graham Ewins at the board. He has taken all the reverbs right down to zero, as the Union Chapel has a 12-second delay all of its own! To the right, a pedestal camera on its track. |
|||
A bit of lighting rehearsal while the band plays on. Note the towering pulpit above Mark, who is not on a riser. |
|||
Donald Seagull apparently being equipped with a mic. Not pictured, the clockwork mouse that ran about on the piano top also. |
|||
This is not Matt's Tyrolean hat,
rather a sinister bird-mask which wound up on Crewman Johnny's head during
the show ('Johnny the Human Pickaxe' as Geoff called him). Note two
camera-men rehearsing shots. |
|||
More toys ... Matt gets all the girls ... |
|||
One Eye, One Beak, one hired B3 |
|||
The audience assembles ... sorry about the exposure! |
Thanks, Jill, for captions!
