 Thanks to Gazza D for the ticket
M5 / Behind the Counter / Glam-Racket / Ladybird Green Grass / Reckoning / Free Range / War / 15 Ways / New Big Prinz / Hey Student
"MES started throwing punches after Reckoning, the target of his venom being the soundman and Karl Burns, allegedly." This might account for the very short set. Although Jon followed up with "The Acropolis gig on Calton Hill was a blinder in spite of MES's bad mood. They played with two drummers, Brix had recently rejoined and the band played on quite some time after MES stormed off. He was eventually persuaded to carry on, so it wasn't actually that short a set in the end.
