When I get the chance, I'll check which ones are on my videotapes - I'm
sure there are more than these three...On a separate night I can remember a
set from the Loreley, and later in the broadcast (which included a Dave
Edminds/Nick Lowe set) there was some kind of all-star finale which (I
think) included Rory, and David Lindley playing a sort of weird lap-steel
guitar which had been gimmicked & shaped to be worn round the neck whilst
standing.
