I Told on You
Pandora's Box (very exciting and playful play out)
Man With a Mission
Can't Say That (drums exceptional)

'Where is Essen' says GB on finding he gets more response from speaking French than from Englah or German
'Hooray and up she rises' sung in the style of the Volga Boatmen
Whaling stories ('I was paling well ...') fab piano
Don't Get Caught
A Salty Dog


Fires (Which Burnt Brightly)
Piano played bugle part, GB sang verse two twice
'We're not Pink Floyd, that's for sure ... do you like Country and Western?' Crowd shouts 'No!'
Last Chance Motel
'Only two kinds of music I don't like. One is Country. The other is Western.'
'What's that noise? Is someone stripping? Oh, an ambulance. Always three or four die at a Procol concert.'
12 bars of Bach, piano and organ, familiar from 'Repent Walpurgis'.
Plug for Box Set Badge Raffle. The box is worth '... 1,000 euros. I shall put 900 euros in it myself.'
