...all true, but for the North American tour they did in May 1991, the band 
consisted of the core Brock / Davey / Chadwick trio.  In fact Mr. Swann first 
mentioned having seen them at the Hideaway Club in Ontario, and I have the 
following listing for that gig:


Date:  17/5/1991           Musicians: Dave Brock
Town:  St. Catherines                 Alan Davey
Venue: Hideaway                       Richard Chadwick
Set:   Intro; Needle Gun; Treadmill; Time We Left; Heads; Time We Left;
       Starflight; Ejection; Master Of The Universe; Blue Shift; Brainstorm;
       Snake Dance; Night Of The Hawks; Levitation; Instrumental; Right Stuff;
       Golden Void; Hassan-i-Sahba


They played that venue again in 1995 with the same trio + Ron Tree.  But 
going back to 1991, the line-up was pretty fluid with a European tour in March 
& April of the Bemand / Bainbridge / Wishart / Davey / Chadwick band, then 
the aforementioned trio doing the USA & Canada in May 1991, followed by 
Brock / Davey / Chadwick / Wishart playing a few dates around the UK in July 
& August.  After which they reverted to the core trio for additional tours of 
Europe (Sep-Oct) and the UK (Dec).  What a schedule!
