"It is very important to know that Jason Pierce DID NOT PLAY in this gig. That was confirmed on at least two sources: the SP3 gig page mentioned above and a note from Ian Goodchild about this concert:
"The Brentford Waterman's gig was a one-off - in a way - but was
advertised as a Spacemen 3 gig (presumably because Jason couldn't make
it? I don't know, but he was NOT at the gig, hence the unusual set:
Sonic Boom, guitar and Keyboards; Will Carruthers, Bass & guitar; &
unidentified guitarist/keyboards (probably Mark Refoy?) as far as I
know, and it was a soundboard recording - quality is VERY good. It was a
Spacemen 3 gig though...Sonic Boom's Spectrum gigs (of which I have a
few early examples, and the tracklisting is predictable to say the least
- Revolution and Suicide, anyone?) were very different to this.
The tracklisting is right: it is the full version of Ode to Street
Hassle, which segues into 'Angel' (the end coda from 'Well, Well, I
guess/He just couldn't stand his life/without sweet heroin' repeated and
