Black Egg I believe (?).I got Silver Machine on tape! (and possibly some of
the other ones are elsewhere on the cassette. what a riot!) That was such a
great show! The projections were great, though it was difficult to choose
between staring almost straight up at the "screen", and Nik's outrageous
costume. What I loved particularly was the stock footage of fighter jets (no
starfighters though i noticed : )) during Ejection. Being the first time
ever seeing Nik Turner, i have to say it was overwhelming.
