 * Comments
 * ‘Thank you very much Johnnie. It’s astonishing that in 1993 you still meet people who tell you that rock music can’t be art isn’t it? Those moments we spent with the U2’s road crew are moments I shall treasure for ever I think. This is Scrawl a new single from them.’
 * The show is broadcast from backstage at the Reading Festival.
 * John describes himself as ‘slightly hysterical and rather tired’. The reasons are that he had miscalculated what an exhausting weekend this was going to be, eleven hours onstage playing records between bands, coupled with a lack of sleep and no breakfast.
 * The show includes recorded interviews with Kat Bjelland from Babes In Toyland, Billy Coté and Mary Lorson from Madder Rose and another chat with Anjali Bhatia and Ella Drauglis from the Voodoo Queens.
 * Virtually the full show is available, albeit a shortened one to accommodate a late running U2 set (hence John’s comments above). As a consequence of this there was only time for two session tracks from Eat Static and three from Trumans Water.
