  • Start of show: "Well, hello there, and thanks to Huw (Stephens) and Bethan (Elfyn) from The Session In Wales. I wish I'd been in the studio with them so I could run probing fingers over their firm young bodies, but I'm down in Maida Vale with the Bays, who'll be playing in about half an hour's time. This is Steinski."
  • A large part of the show is taken up with the Bays improvised set, which seems to go down a storm and stretches to two encores.
  • No Pig's Big 78 on the show, as Peel had forgotten to bring any to London that week (see 05 March 2002). In response to a listener inquiry about her nickname, JP declares his wife the finest person he's ever met, including Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush.
  • Peel mentions this evening's result for Ipswich Town, who had lost 2-0 away to Leeds United. He remains optimistic though, telling the team on air "I really think you're gonna play your way out of trouble."
  • The Soledad Brothers track was to turn up on Peel's FabricLive.07 compilation. He precedes it with the Fred McDowell track on which it's based.

Tracklisting[]

JP: "How many emails do we get in a day saying, “How come you don’t play anything by Roxy Music?” Well, none to be honest."
  1. (no titles, all tracks improvised live)
JP: "Just fantastic. Amazing. The Bays live on Radio One from our Maida Vale studio. And I tell you what, I'm about to go on holiday but at about this time next week I'll either be in New Zealand or on a life raft in shark-infested waters off the Solomon Islands when we've just eaten our last stewardess and some bugger will be playing 'Danny Boy' on the harmonica and I'll think, I haven't completed wasted my time."
