Thanks to several of our listeners who wrote in to say that they remembered hearing The Sheltering Sky performed live in 2019. Well, they are not wrong!
Contrary to our report on yesterday's Stormy Mundy Selection, it appears the piece did make it onto the setlist, no less than seven times (in Leipzig, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Verona, Torino and Perugia). In fact, it was played at the first three shows (counting Friends & Family night) after the May rehearsals, and found a place as an occasional opener for the second half of the concert, sometimes following one of the drum trio pieces. We have amended our news piece of yesterday accordingly.
Needless to say we are replacing the batteries in our head torches before we return to the dark, and sometimes dusty, corners of the archive.
