After plowing through the endless mail from the last week, I found one for
which I can provide info.

Pete's wireless for his guitar had some connection problems, resulting in an
erratic signal to his preamp. It makes the guitar sound staticky (for lack of
a better term).Also, some mics were in and out a few times. Gary Glitter's
mic didn't work and they had to hand him a new one.  After QUAD, Pete said
the promoter would refund our tickets. Then he said they would just play some
more songs (as if they hadn't done that the other nights). They played the
usual encore, BBE, WGFA, MB and Naked Eye. 
So, except for these problems, a much more satisfying (and louder) show for
me than Wed's.
