I always loved the idea of The Captain and Vanian discussing the candelabra before this performance. "Let's get an antique candelabra and put it on the organ. One of those candelabras you see in Hammer horror films. Better still, lets put some cobwebs on it. It will look all dark and gothic". Within 30 seconds, the candelabra is on the floor

They weren't quite so blase about the kit at Coventry Theatre on the original MGE tour, when half the PA system got nicked in a stage invasion. Dave had to make an appeal for it to be returned so they could carry on (it was, eventually). The best live band of the era, I couldn't get enough of them (so I was glad they got it back). I met the Captain once outside the Lyceum Ballroom, when he'd been thrown out of a Slaughter and the Dogs gig for his own stage invasion. He really was as mad as his image, and a really great guy - probably still is.

If I remember correctly there was some sort of technician work to rule at the BBC when this was aired. As a result of hanging around for most of the day waiting for the camera crew to begin filming they started drinking....and drinking...and drinking...note Algy Ward's 'almost too p*ssed to stand up' stance...Annie Nightingale made some comment after about the ghost of the Who haunting the building; she looked (professionally ) terrified.

A £2k Vox Continental, tipped over the stage, £3k Pearl kit smashed about beautifully. This beats KLF's £1M in notes bonfire by a mile. Mr Sensible is clearly a talented piano player, to do that in two fingers. Hey I'm not an insurance assessor - just a guess.

Even The Damned have a sense of professionalism about them when it comes to performing so when `Sensible f++ks up the keyboard parts, then his amp bails, Dave Vanian gives up and Scabies gets so pissed off he does what any punk would do and that's; when a performance becomes this bad he destroys the set and takes it to legend level.
