Gong, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Saturday June 14th, 2008

Steve Hillage - Guitar and Vocals
Miquette Giraudy - Keyboards and Twiddy bits
Daevid Allen - Guitar and Vocals
Mike Howlett - Bass
Gilli Smyth - Vocals
? - Sax and Flute (very good though)
? - Drums

QEH to Cardiod Mike (Yogi - I was half way back on the LHS) to Sony Minidisc Recorder to Total Recorder (PC) to Traders Little Helper to Dime.

Sorry I am technically challenged so do not know how to split and tweak audio files. I simply chopped the file into two around the one hour mark in a period of claping so that the set would fit onto two CDs. Also I do not know the name of the songs Gong played. However, the first track on the second file is Light in the Sky. Also Hillage and Miquette opened the show with a nice bit of what sounded like rainbow dome music.
I recorded this for myself but after listening to the end result (grade B in my opinion) I thought well why not share it on Dime. Perhaps someone will be kind and remaster it like happened with the 2006 uncon set.
