Aside from three hours of music spread across two sets (the second was played in fancy dress and included covers ranging from a Genesis medley to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Relax' and Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades'), ticket holders were also given a free one-sided single containing the Holmes/Nicholls composition 'Hollow Afternoon'. It appears that this was written with this one event in mind (it was played in the first set), as it has never been re-recorded or even performed live ever since. As the band later refused to part with spare copies, this 7' has become the rarest IQ recording to track down, and is worth 40 pounds.' At this gig Peter disappeared off stage whilst the band played the Glenn Miller Medley. He reappeared in some form of cap which he flung off at the start of Sweet Transvestite to reveal the full works, stockings (black), suspenders, basque and knickers (all red!). After the gig he confessed that the moment he threw the cape off he had a panic attack that he had forgotten to put the knickers on! After the song he changed back into regular wear whilst Martin sang 'Ace of Spades'. Mike also wore a nuns habit for part of the covers set. Very appropriately, the commemorative T-shirt of this gig had the following slogan: 'I was a Nun in search of Fun' ==================================== FOR COLLECTED UNDERGROUND MEMBERS ONLY DO NOT SELL OR RE-UPLOAD SEE MAIN WEBSITE AT : WWW.COLLECTEDUNDERGROUND.COM ==================================== |
