 Hi All,
   Here's the conclusions I've come to regarding :-
     St Albans/Treforest/Pilton 80

   Tapes labelled as all 3 exist, but are all from the same
   source, (as yet undefined).
   HW did play Pilton in 1980, but this was not the huge festival
   site, but a 'benefit' gig played in a shed or marquee.
   A music mag cutting confirms the gig (with no date).
   As for which of the 3 the tape is of, my personal thoughts are:

   St Albans: Not this one due to the opening comments by Dave
              about all being squashed in. Also the banter between
              Dave & Ginger about age, needing a leak etc.
              Doesn't Huwy mention the cold temperature?
              The crowd noise also sounds festival-like.
   Treforest: I don't think they even played there in 1980, ie
              no documentary proof.
   Pilton:    Probably this one, with the wrong date.

 Anybody think otherwise strongly about this?

 All for now.
