    Hmmm, only two tunes from OoaK and nothing from FGtM. And they left off my favorite tune from GGT, "Q.E.D." I'm glad I got to see them a bit earlier. Clark had already replaced Holdsworth, but the only tune they were playing from GGT was "Joe Frazier."

    Aymeric's site says Typical setlist on this tour: "Hell's Bells", "Joe Frazier", "Land's End", "The Sliding Floor", "Sample And Hold", "Fainting in Coils" / "Back to the Beginning", "Palewell Park", "Plans for J.D.", "Age of Information", "Five G", "Beelzebub", so the "?" is probably Sample and Hold or Beelzebub.

    I have a cassette recording taken from the live feed of KSAN in San Francisco. I worked on the remote recording crew that set up and broadcast shows. Bill said he liked this preformance more than the one used for the live LP.

    Who was in the band at the time? Was it Bill, Stewart, Berlin and Holdsworth? No Pride said Clark had replaced Alan, but I saw a show on that tour in New Orleans and could have sworn it was Holdsworth playing, but my memory is not quite what it used to be!! So I don't know for sure. HELP

    I don't think Holdsworth toured with them in the states, I only saw Clarke.
    According to the timeline on www.billbruford.com:
    1979
    Bruford
    A glutton for punishment, Bill is back at Trident in January with fresh music for his second album, this to be all instrumental, and his first cover feature in Modern Drummer magazine. Excellent results are squeezed from the, by now, permanently unhappy but astonishingly gifted Holdsworth.
    Again, with remarkable speed, “One of a Kind” is in the shops, and the band on tour by May, with dates in the UK and France. Holdsworth departs on the eve of the French leg, and John Clarke deps at extremely short notice. This to be the last French tour of any substance of Bill’s career.

    It was Clarke in San Francisco, no doubt about it.

    Allan Holdsworth left after the band's inaugural short tour of the UK. John Clark (no e) replaced him and stayed in the band till it broke up.

    I always thought the release they did live wasn't a very good sounding show. I never bought it on cd but had it once on vinyl. Forget the name of. The album now.

    Bruford - The Fast Lane, Asbury Park, NJ, 6/17/1980

    The recording I have is tracked like this:

    1. Hell’s Bells
    2. Joe Frazier
    3. Land’s End
    4. The Sliding Floor
    5. Gothic 17
    6. Fainting In Coils (cuts) >
    7. Fainting In Coils (end, flawed)
    8. Palewell Park
    9. Plans for J.D. > The Age of Information
    10. 5G
    11. Beelzebub

    I would probably rate it B to B- based on the year that it was recorded.
    The kicker for me is that I was at this show.

    Anyone who's interested in set lists and recordings that are being traded should bookmark this site:

    http://db.etree.org/db/shows/artists

    The second thing to do is go to this site, which has more than 67,000 streaming recordings to get an idea of sound.

    http://tela.sugarmegs.org/

    Understand that Sugarmegs is very low bit rate and really only worthwhile for streaming.

    Here's the Bruford Asbury Park show:

    Yes, but the bit rates are really low, like 63kbps.

    No the resolution is so low it's almost unlistenable. Shame really.

    I have a soundboard of The Bayou (D.C.) from 1980. I don't have the set list handy but the performance was OK. The mix was all over the place with Berlin's vocal way too loud (and not very good). The instrumental songs/sections are are fun to visit every now and then. If the same engineer did the whole tour I'd imagine the sb recordings are hit or miss. Luclily the Bayou show had sb on left channel and a nice ribbon mic on the right channel. There are a couple old Hackett shows from The Bayou that sound great.
