#94 - Marino (Roma), Palaghiaccio, 18.5.1993




I chose this specific track to upload as the Secret World Live official dvd is getting a second release in July. Apparently, this will correct and improve the awful digitization job that characterized the first issue, and will also restore the track Red Rain to its original place in the setlist: although it appeared on the cd, it was nowhere to be found in the original VHS release and it the subsequent dvd.
Unfortunately, none of the official releases featured - or will feature - the show finale, which could be very different from date to date.

Here, from the same tour but from the earlier leg, is a brilliant and emotional version of Here Comes The Flood filmed in Rome, or to be more precise in Marino, at the Palaghiaccio, on May 18th, 1993.

I think the smile on Peter's face all through the song says it all about what a great show that had been!
Also, a fun thing to notice is how Peter used to only sing the first half of Flood and let it hang out there... But check the video at 2'50": although the song was virtually finished another smile and another chord bring it to its 'natural' completion :-)
