Royal Albert Hall, London, England

Announcement

This is the legendary gig commonly known as Wake, a name given to it by Andrew Eldritch personally,
no less than four months before it happened. Previously, Andrew had bruised his ribs and consequently,
he was unable to move much. Nevertheless he gave an astonishing performance.

Originally advertised in the UK music press as Altamont - A festival of remembrance.

Support acts were:

  • and an organist playing a prelude including Freebird by Lynard Skynard,
    see the announcement below (thanks for the picture to HL member brunobossier).


Several bootleg recordings of this show do exist, see Live Bootlegs - First And Last And Always era.

In addition, several Video Bootlegs are circulating like Live From The Royal Albert Hall - Floorshow
and Wake - In Concert At The Royal Albert Hall. The latter are bootlegs one shouldn't mix up with the official WEA-video release from this concert titled Wake. None of these does, however, include all the songs played at the event.
