Rick Wakeman - all sorts of keyboards, synths, pianos and other ditties...
Tony Hernandez - drums
David Paton - bass, backing vocals
Ashley Holt - vocals, percussions

This is special for various reasons: 1) it is one of the earliest recordings done with a DAT machine. If you think that it's almost 17
years ago, it's a century ago from a digital point of view. The guy who recorded this aquired one of the very first portable
DAT recorders one year before and started taping shows. I will probably seed one day the very first recording he did with
his DAT, which dates back of November 1989. We were all amazed by the fact that you could use DAT and avoid all
these nasty tape flips that resulted in cutting the music most of the times. Infact, we asked this friend the 'DAT-man'.
2) the show is amazing and haven't circulated widely. Rick Wakeman was touring Italy after at least 15 years and he managed
to put together a 'best of' setlist with all his best tracks. The theatre was absolutely packed that night. 3) the sound
quality is amazing. My tape comes from the master DAT.
