Didn't work very well, alas.
Big open-air venue, last thing at night (early hours of the morning even, maybe?)
Far too fragile a song for that sorta setting. Needs somewhere more intimate and respectful.
Barney starts singing the last verse too early and stops himself.
Pity, it's the 2nd best song on Republic.

Such a shame to bugger up that bit too...I mentioned on a previous thread how much I love that section of Special

Yes, and fucked it up there too, probably why it was omitted from the broadcast!

Was there ever a decent quality recording released of that gig, either audio or video?

Bits of it are on NewOrderStory!
Wasn't it shown on MTV at the time? Some music channel anyway. Must be on Youtube I guess, but that's blocked at work.

Yeah, it is and the better quality songs are lifted from NewOrderStory but I wondered if anything stand-alone was ever released. Cheers.
Released, no. But 50 minutes of the headline set were on MTV. And You Tube.
http://www.youtube.com/user/vaughanography has the whole broadcast.

Think they were supporting Robert Plant, not headlining?

Fcuk me, those colours are awful. Who on earth did that? :evil: 
It's the least intersting set collection of songs ever, this tour. Obviously someone has said "I'm not playing this and that" and only these", and that's it.
