Steve Hillage
Sonesta Koepelkerk
Amsterdam
Decemember 14th 1979

Another reworked off-the-shelf CD.
It's certainly soundboard/probably radio...I forget.
Quality is very good.
I was a regular at Hillage gigs in the late 70s.
Everyone I knew was rather disappionted with Open
and the gigs around that time seemed weaker for it.
Steve was moving in a direction we were reluctant to follow.
...he had shorter hair and was wearing a jumpsuit. WTF? :)
Here's my ticket from a month earlier at the Free Trade Hall:


























In hindsight it was good stuff which sounds great here.
T'was cosmic funk coming from an unexpected source.
I probably went home pissed off and stuck a Parliament album on.
regards
Titus
