The venue is small enough for them to play is proper Quadrophonic sound. But, around half way through, the PA went AWOL.
After about 30 mins the roadies gor it fixed and the gig resumed.
At the end Dave announced that they would be back later in the year to 'Play it again'.

IT was shipped from Germany.
My copy has been played a total of 10 times in the 36 years since I got it.
