3 piece (Mike/Steve/Richard)
They played sitting down (listen and Mike will explain)


I dont recall if they played 2 sets or just 1.
I think it was one but the previous year was 2 sets.

After the Waterboys broke up around 1990, most shows Mike did during the early to mid 90 were solo. The Mike Scott Band played for abit around 1997. Once Rock in the Weary Land came out around 2001 the Waterboys became a full band again. So anyway in 2002 solo, duo or trio shows were not that common (Galway/Sligo). Not to mention it is great to watch Mike and Steve play together again.

Around Easter Weekend in both 2001 and 2002, our boys played 2 trio shows.
They played Fareham twice and amazing gig for fans in Maidstone, Kent (which I have burried somewhere).
I dont remember where the other show was but recall the shows being very special.

I randomly grabbed this show out of a pile and listened to ensure no dropouts etc but could have missed one or a mic pop.

The 2nd cd sounds even better than the first.

Here's the songlist (its got some interesting songs which were not done many times as a trio) !
