Read this with interest. Years ago I got a Tape from Dave Brock via Hawkfan.
It's The CYM tour with extra stuff on the end to fill up the tape, Shot from
the back of the hall and came from Dave with a short signed note. BUT... It
was recorded, he says, by a friend of his at Edinburgh Playhouse 20th October
'82! Is this the same tape with the venue mixed up. I haven't watched it in a
while but I'm sure it wasn't hammersmith (a venue I know VERY well). tracks
are:

Choose YM/Coded/Magnu/Dust/Waiting for/Angels/Ghost Dance/Warlords/Social
Alliance/Utopia/Arrival In/Solitary Mind
Games/Sonic/Dreamworker/Brainstorm/Ejection/Shot Down/MOTU.

I haven't got the extra tracks written down but can check if it's important.
