I was at this show. It was the first show Robert had his new and first Fender Jazz Master.It was indeed the Village in Newport Shropshire. Not Wales. Shropshire is in England.
Set list wise.....God I wish I could remember. I do remember 2 covers. Hendrix Foxy Lady and McArthur Park.....YUP, you read that correctly.

I was at this gig and remember them playing "Killing an Arab" and also playing "10:15 on a Saturday night" a couple of times as an encore.
