This release takes us back to the recent past and the opening up of live music after the Covid Pandemic. The Light At The End Of The Tunnel tour was a return to playing live for the band, their last show had been on the With Friends From The Orchestra tour in Essen, Germany in December 2019. This recording comes from the seventh show in Liverpool. The band tinkered with the setlist on the tour, rotating songs as many fans were going to multiple shows. Liverpool crowds are always boisterous which you can hear as the show progresses. h is also in a very talkative mood with a few stories, and the band are obviously happy to get back to playing live again.
Voorhuit, Ghent, Belgium - 19th May 1997 (This Strange Engine Tour)

The first tour under the Castle deal was the longest the band would play for 7 years (over 70 dates) until the Marbles tour in 2004. It also included the famous tour fund which enabled the band to tour North America and led ultimately to the crowdfunding of Anoraknophobia. This is a great sounding stereo desk recording, which was partially used on "Piston Broke", but this is the full show, spanning 2 hours. By this time in the tour the band had become used to the new songs and even rotated songs as the tour progressed, but this is the standard opening set which only had small changes as the band tinkered with the running order.
Lucy, Rich, Mark, Stephanie and James
