Unreleased Procol songs

Songs that were prepared, but omitted in the excitement, included Holding On, A Souvenir of London and (a bizarre omission) Shine on Brightly.

The day before had seen a public performance from the same musicians with the addition of Lloyd Edward [UK / USA] on lead guitar for Going Down Slow. Also on the bill was a blues/boogie trio, Apeneck, consisting of Lloyd Edward (guitar+voice), Roland Clare (bass) and Gary Griswold (drums). A setlist for the whole of this Sunday night public concert will be published if anyone has a record of what was played.
