I have it on tape!

Also, As The Lights Go Down is a straight forward concert from that tour and another classic show, Hammersmith Odeon 81, may be realeased as well!

From the official website:
I CONTACTED EMI WHO SAID: "We are trying to track down the master for this show. It won't come out with Arena, but may do at some other stage with an hour long show from the Hammersmith Odeon in '81!"


And other GREAT news:
ARCADIA AND POWERSTATION MAY BE 2005 DVD RELEASES, AND I KNOW EMI ARE LOOKING TO RE-MASTER THE POWERSTATION CD THIS YEAR, ARCADIA NEXT.

That's what they are talking about here:

From the official website:
"We are trying to track down the master for this show. It won't come out with Arena, but may do at some other stage with an hour long show from the Hammersmith Odeon in '81!"


Have you seen the Hammersmith show? Its really great, better than As the Lights Go Down, imo. Its an earlier show, therefore focuses on their first 2 albums. Waiting For the Nightboat gives me chills and almost seems like a Pink Floyd track when it's live.
