Yeah, they did KILLER as an encore.
Jaxxon's sax solo had me in stiches.
Hammill didn't bother the play the piano part,
but Banton was rawked with enough bandwidth for it not
really to matter,
and Hammill sang it not too badly either
(although he copped out of the REALLY high notes
in "Fishes can't fly".

Damn, I would love to see these guys! Wish they would come to LA! Did they play anything from H to HE? I still play that great live DVD of them performing Lighthouse Keeper and Theme One...
Yeah, although I'm not sure that Peter Hammill's Yamaha DX7
was ∗quite∗ the best choice of keyboard!! :-)
By the way, what was the first song in the set?
My friend and I got somewhat waylaid, and arrived
when "SCORCHED EARTH" was already in full swing.
