This is interesting: the first show of the tour supporting the Time Line album with a new line-up if compared to the
previous tour. Jon camp is still there, but he this would be the last tour with the band. Playing drums there was a young
guy from England called Gavin Harrison. He would later play with italian star Claudio baglione as well as with many
other italian artists (such as Alice) and then to move to Porcupine Tree and more recently touring with the new
King Crimson incarnation.

I remember showing Gavin the video footage from Chicago from that same tour after a Porcupine Tree show somewhere in
Germany and he was in a kind of show to see himself so young (and skinny!). All the band started to make joke of him and
then they were laughing like crazy in a way they all knew something about Renaissance that they wouldn't tell me. At the
end they 'kind of' explained me why they were laughing so much, but don't ask me to write it here!!!!

Back to the show: I had to work quite a bit on this one. First, it ran too fast so I adjusted the speed (maybe it is still
not perfect) and second it was unbalanced at volume level. Both problems have been solved. Soundwise this is not spectacular:
I would say 7,5. But the music is celestial as usual!
