| Comment | note from the asking tree:
The venue had a new PA system intalled and RH&TE's were due to open the revamped venue. It was a last minute booking and so not many people knew about it. On the night the PA blew up and so the boys did the show in the bar area using just their amps and a reduced drum kit. RH did a lengthy intro to Beautiful Queen about looking down on a train that's going under the sea and exploding as it goes. The song itself was wonderful as RH's voice was drowned in the guitars and slowly came through the "mix" as the chorus kicked in. It should have been recorded that way. As far as i know, the decision to play in the bar was suggested by a couple of fans who are friends of the band as there was much chattering after the idea was raised. Most of the others of us present watched the boys toing and froing as bits of PA were swapped and tampered with. It was only months afterwards that we found out that it was the LAST gig for the Egyptians, it was a great way to end as it was a fantastic gig and seemed to convey the fun and greatness of the band. what a way to go.
