As far as “the events of last tour “ , I think you probably referring to fights between Nazis and anti Nazis that happened in Leeds at more political gigs. Not sure of specifics but seem to remember it was an issue with GOF
Still remember seeing the Sheffield date on this tour, and of the hundreds (thousands?) of guitarists I've seen, before or since, I'd rate Andy Gill as the most innovative. Genius!

Part of the problem with streaming is it is very easy to hear great music but less easy to understand relationships sometimes.
Thanks for this article; lots of new-to-me records to explore!
