It seems there is no bootleg available from that show. Was Heavy Fuel played only at the end or was it played twice? Seems to be a strange ending for the show?

A friend of mine told me he attended one of the Sheffield shows and So Far Away was played.

Birmingham too, and Halifax in March 1992. And probably a few more times that we just don't have the info.

They definitely only played it once, and it didn't seem strange when you were there. The crowd had been on their feet and clapping for the whole of the encore songs (in fact the whole gig had had a good atmosphere generally) and it was a good rocking song to finish the show with. When they started it, I thought it might be Solid Rock but once it got going it was obviously a new song. I am guessing they moved it to the end so that the crowd were at their most lively for the filming maybe?

I've not seen any recordings in circulation of any of the Sheffield shows - nor the other show I saw on that tour at Gateshead 92 - which I am sort of pleased about. I think hearing a (probably poor quality) recording would spoil my memories of the shows somehow.

As I said in my original post, we did get some rarities that particular night, although early in the tour they mixed the set up a lot more before it settled down. Iron Hand came over really well as a new song, WICTY which I already knew from the Hillbillies (I remember Danny coming down from his percussion rig and dancing around the stage with a tambourine during this one) and then Setting Me Up in the encores.

OES itself also sounded really good - I think Calling Elvis was the only new song that I knew at that point.

To much to expect you to remember details of a song you had never heard before 34 years ago, but I'm assuming that for practical video reasons they would be miming to a playback of the track?

Even though I have only just started posting on the forum, as a fairly obsessed get-a-lifer as far as MK/DS
goes, these details are important to me :) And I was only eighteen and seeing DS/MK for the first time so doubly excited about the whole thing.

They definitely weren’t lip-syncing to a playback or anything like that, they just simply played HF as the last song in the set. In the final video I don’t think they tried to match the live performance with the record, the video is just a bunch of random clips of the show really. The woman running onto the stage happened really quickly and I didn’t even realise that it was part of their filming.

None of it impacted on the show itself

Interesting, many thanks. Been a while since I watched the video to be fair.
