      The gigs at Shepherds Bush Empire weren't just a pair of hot dates. They were a couple of scorchers Although the band had been in town only a year before, the rather formal setting of the Albert Hall had led to it being a slightly muted occasion. By contrast, Shepherds Bush Empire was a far more excitable affair. The inclusion of Waiting Man on this tour wasn't the only surprise – who would have thought Schizoid Man would be knocking them dead a full 22 years after it had last been played by KC. There's a storming version of Three Of A Perfect Pair (best live group version yet?) and the eerie String Quartet – a precursor to Sus_Tayn_Z? Am I the only who thinks it's a pity they didn't do more of that kind of thing? Elsewhere, B’Boom is something of a savage crowd-pleaser and Frame By Frame positively blows yer socks off as Robert noted in his diary.

      “Frame By Frame is blasting away at an astonishing tempo. FxF was never written to be played at this speed. But in the fire of the moment, and in the context of the particular overall tempo of the unfolding performance, the front man hits the tempo that feels right; and the guitarist stage left is hung out to dry.”
