They played one continuous set.  I have just made an arbitrary split into two parts.  I have taken out a lot of the applause, shouts for "more" etc. between Selbsportrait... and Silence is Sexy.  There were some announcements but they were not very distinct and I picked up a lot of audience chatter.

This is my own recording.  A memory stick with a recording of the concert (plus the show the following day at Relentless Garage) was on sale but I didn't buy it.

London Jazz Festival Barbican Hall, London
Wednesday, 18 November 2009

Sorry this is rather quite.  By default, I usually set the mic to low gain.  That's generally fine for amplified music, but not really adequate for a single voice and piano.  I whacked the volume up as much as possible during editing, but you will probably still need to play it loud.

Acid Mother's Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. + Stearica, 2010

I'd rather not name the venue here.  It is one of those security conscious places that is given to searching punters.  I don't want to encourage them to redouble their efforts!  The music was loud so don't expect high fidelity.

Sorry I cannot put names to all the songs.  They tended to run into each other so I am not sure I have got track markers in all the right places.  Just about anyone can spot "Pink Lady Lemonade" as it seems to be their most frequently performed song.

I've now managed to add a couple more titles.  For now, here is a lo-fi version.  Any assistance with the remainder would be appreciated.  I think "unknown 3" is their take on Hendrix's Foxy Lady.

Thanks to the contributors at Setlist.  I would not have recognised many of the titles otherwise.  http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/boris/2010/relentless-garage-london-england-3d4d55f.html
Much of this set was played continuously without breaks between the songs, so I have sometimes had to find an arbitrary place to put the track markers.  And of course a portable recorder can't really do justice to the full dynamic range.

Dancing in the moonlight with her wigwam hair
Royal Festival Hall Ballroom
29 May - 6 July 1997

Apologies for the rubbish sound on Speed of Darkness. The microphone obviously wasn't connected properly and there is only a faint hiss on the right channel. If anyone out there is knowledgeable about Magix Audio Cleaning Lab and can guide me on how to remove the right channel, please get in touch. It ran as a continuous performance; the split into parts one and two is just happenstance where I had to change tapes.

"Dancing in the moonlight.." was an installation. This recording was made on 5th July. At the end, you will hear part of the free event going on there as I emerge from the installation into the foyer.
