Comment* Officially released in November, 17 2008: "Early Stages; The Official Bootleg Box Set 1982-1987" (EMI). (BBC sourced).

Line-up:
Fish: Vocals
Steve Rothery: Guitar
Peter Trewavas: Bass
Mark Kelly: Keyboards
John Martyr: Drums
Andy Ward: Percussion

This was the second gig with John Martyr on drums.
Andy Ward sat in with them for the encore, he'd been invited as a favour, although they'd parted company, because the Reading Festival was a high profile appearance.
