I may be mistaken, but I thought I could hear the words from "Horn of Destiny" from CotBS being narrated at Manchester during one of the spoken tracks.....

Full set list found on the forum - courtesy of Kerbcrawler:

Sonic Attack/You'd Better Believe It/Seasons/Footsteps/Hills Have Ears/Warriors/Angels Of Death/Prometheus/Magnu/Tide Of The Century/Hassan I Sahba/Sentinel/Space 2001/Silver Machine/Psychedelic Warlords/Spirit Of The Age.

No difference in London except that there was a rendition of "Landing on Medusa" before Psychadelic Warlords and Huw joined them onstage for the encore.   Incidentally his LLG band is a very efficient unit. Their sound is a bit too sharply harsh on the ears for me but from behind the bar at the back of the venue - actually the best place to be for the whole show - they sounded good.   Can't tell you which tracks they played except that Moonglum was one of them and Huw is playing beautifully.   Of the new tracks Seasons - the one concerning Wars and Revolutions - seems to have developed even during the course of this short tour (or maybe  I'm just hearing it better each time) and is the one track I've come away humming - just need some lyrics now!   Shepherd's Bush venue was incredibly overcrowded and though it was another really good show it was difficult to concentrate while trying to dodge being squeezed - and sorry I've no idea who did which vocals cos I never managed to get enough of a view or close enough to see what was going on!   I'm sure I heard a violin in Sheffield but there was an announcement in Manchester about someone having to go to Brighton to finish off an album so I think he took no further part in this tour but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
And now there's only YouTube to watch.
Thank you to the band for another excellent pre-Festive season adventure.    I'll try Manchester again - one day!
