At 8PM sharp the house lights went down in the auditorium (catching many unaware and creating late seating problems) and in the darkness the first strains of In the Flesh blared. In the shadows of the darkness the band came on stage, taking the positions — the last one out being Rog who climbed a staircase to take his position at the center of the elevated rear platform. As the tape loop of the opening of In The Flesh climaxed the stage lit up revealing the band in place. Band layout: Stage left Snowy White on guitar, Graham Broad on percussion, (next position is Rog's — slightly left of center), then Andy Fairweather Low on guitar, Doyle Bramhall II on guitar, behind Doyle is Jon Carin on keyboards (and behind Jon is keybardist Andy Wallace) and then Katie Kisson and P.P. Arnold on backing vocals. The stage set had two sofa areas (like the set on the KAOS tour) which would be used later on, at least four living room lamps and four or five lava lamps. A TV was playing throughout the show. For the first half Stanley Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY was being played. Long gone is the old faithful circular screen, replaced on this tour by a giant rectangualar backdrop, against which the two high powered projectors were aimed.
