More rehearsals and work on the new songs.
7th
John Peel Session (Langham studio 1)
Songs recorded for the radio program: The Holy Hour, Primary, All Cats Are Grey, Forever. Still no definitive lyrics for the first two songs. Primary was still different musically (bass line and tune) compared with how it would turn out on the following month. Forever was an improvised attempt based on the chords from Three. That classic "song" would often close the shows for years and years.

18th
UK Picture Tour (31 shows). The Funeral Party & The Drowning Man sounded pretty unrehearsed on the beginning of this tour, certainly difficult songs to perform without being in the mood - especially with Robert getting a cold after a week on the road. The guitar solos were extended on songs like A Forest or M, giving more atmosphere to the songs. A few songs had improvised lyrics when the tour started: In Your House, Play For Today, The Holy Hour, Seventeen Seconds...

JULY
4th
Torhout, Festival
That was the first time the band played at this major Belgian festival. There was no encore as they were only allowed to play for 75 minutes. Robert probably hated having to play in such festivals (the bill also included Robert Palmer, Dire Straits...), intoducing Faith as follows: "It's our rock and roll number, so your supposed to clap your hands in the bak, I think. It's off our new album called Slipping Sally Through The Alley. It's called Faith."
