Live sets from Liverpool Sound City in a programme that ran from 8 p.m.-midnight.
Peel's show started some 13 minutes late due to the All Seeing I's set over-running (the last few songs are included on this recording).
The rather ramshackle broadcasting location is doubtless to blame for a couple of sound dropouts during the Peelenium.
After mentioning that Appliance come from Exeter, John recalls (with not a little distaste) that the Principal Edwards Magic Theatre also hailed from there, and the mere mention of their name at Peel Acres provokes 'an emotional crisis.'

(Steve Lamacq: 'Live on Radio 1 tonight at the L2 in Liverpool as part of Sound City 99, you've been listening to the All Seeing I. They've probably got another couple of tunes I think to do, but we're running a bit late, so you'll be able to hear those on Monday night. We just get them in the can, that's what they say, isn't it John?)
(JP: 'I have heard them say that, yes. I give them a good slap when I catch them doing it, but...')
(SL: 'You were the man who, when I sat down here, said, "We could just go into a record or we could have a rap."')
(JP: 'We could have a rap, and part of that rap would include my pointing out that later on, in fact pretty damn soon, we're gonna have Marine Research, Appliance and Coldcut and also the Peelenium for 1963.')
(SL: 'Not gonna waste your programme any more. Hit that first tune, Mr. Peel.')
(JP: 'Well, I don't know, all this dashing about I'm having to do, there'll have to be new batteries in the pacemaker tonight, so the Pig had better watch out.')
(JP: 'Coming up in a moment or so, the nation's sweetheart, Mary Anne Hobbs...We're going to be going to celebrate the Voice's birthday, and you're going to hear the news because it's 12 midnight.')
↑Band formed by the organist of the Inspiral Carpets, vocal by leader of the Fall, song by the Stooges. Purchased by JP from Probe Records that very day.
