There are several tales of gigs attended, including Amayenge, Prince (who had just performed three times at Wembley Arena and was on stage there again during this show [1]) and Michael Jackson: both of the latter Peel claims to have reappraised musically since seeing them live (even to the extent of purloining his children's Jackson tape to sing along with in the car).
His drive back from the Amayenge gig involved him trying to explain the British licensing laws to some amused Dutch friends (see also Law Game) and hearing Slayer on Annie Nightingale's request show, which leads to a rare spin by JP.
According to The Peel Sessions (p. 230), Dub Sex's third session was broadcast in this show, but the recording reveals that technical problems prevented this (see below), and it subsequently went out on 09 August 1988. This explains why two repeats of the same session are listed in less than a fortnight.
Sessions[]
Inspiral Carpets, #1. Recorded 1988-07-17. No known commercial release.
(JP: 'Got to see them at the weekend: they were quite wonderful....Saw them playing in the South Park at Oxford, an abbreviated set by all accounts, but I had to leave before the end because our William wasn't feeling terrifically well, and we had a three-hour drive to get home with him in some pain, but he still didn't regret being there for a minute. It was a wonderful performance....Attila The Stockbroker was there, and a great number of other congenial people as well.')
(JP: 'I'm sorry about a measure of confusion here, but we're having slight technical problems with the Dub Sex tapes. For Dub Sex fans, it doesn't look as though we're going to be able to broadcast them tonight, but in the near future, no doubt, and my apologies for that.')
