@MrDemilord I think it reached number 13 in the UK (but some sources claim number 9). It was also in the charts for over 2 months and gave them a chance to perform on "Top of the Pops".

@YCSMusic I certainly agree with that, Steve! Waterfront is a perfect show opener! Thanks!

@baldmindsfan Thanks! Sadly, I don't think this concert was ever recorded (audio or video). But the set up was!

[YCSMusic]

I'm not surprised they seem to open most gigs with Waterfront, it's just brilliant, and of course Pink Floyd is a good influence to have, rather than the Gary Glitters...lol
