“I was at the Cambridge gig and all misty eyed, the sound was particularly good that night
I do remember Paddy requesting the audience not to smoke continually as it was drifting across the stage, couldn’t believe how many songs that they squeezed into the set.
” I also remember Paddy being very amusing that night likening his appearance to Rolf Harris but not having his artistic talent and also when the BBC had signalled that they had finished recording Paddy said that “Thank God for that, I can now throw in a few buggers and bastards”
“Bearing in mind the tour programme featured a 1990 clean cut Paddy do you recall the complete shock of seeing the heavily bearded Paddy walk on stage?
“There was quite a collective gasp from the audience”

“Finally Cambridge in 2000, where I was probably the oldest there. Others have posted about the muted atmosphere, as I recall the place wasn’t actually that full and most people were keen to listen to Paddy’s chat. I remember, and I don’t think it’s on the recording, that he stopped Life’s a Miracle after a few seconds because he either played a bum note or sang the wrong words.”
