Yeah that would have been the show!  And for what it's worth, the encore of Hassan I Sahba was one of the rockingest things I have ever heard.  The audience was still singing the refrain as they started spilling out into the parking lot, slightly freaking out the cops on hand (though I'm sure not nearly so much as it would freak them out *these* days to hear a bunch of wild youths chanting in Arabic). :)

..all true, but for the North American tour they did in May 1991, the band 
consisted of the core Brock / Davey / Chadwick trio.  In fact Mr. Swann first 
mentioned having seen them at the Hideaway Club in Ontario, and I have the 
following listing for that gig:


Date:  17/5/1991           Musicians: Dave Brock
Town:  St. Catherines                 Alan Davey
Venue: Hideaway                       Richard Chadwick
Set:   Intro; Needle Gun; Treadmill; Time We Left; Heads; Time We Left;
       Starflight; Ejection; Master Of The Universe; Blue Shift; Brainstorm;
       Snake Dance; Night Of The Hawks; Levitation; Instrumental; Right Stuff;
       Golden Void; Hassan-i-Sahba


They played that venue again in 1995 with the same trio + Ron Tree.  But 
going back to 1991, the line-up was pretty fluid with a European tour in March 
& April of the Bemand / Bainbridge / Wishart / Davey / Chadwick band, then 
the aforementioned trio doing the USA & Canada in May 1991, followed by 
Brock / Davey / Chadwick / Wishart playing a few dates around the UK in July 
& August.  After which they reverted to the core trio for additional tours of 
Europe (Sep-Oct) and the UK (Dec).  What a schedule!
