I couldn't find a complete list, so I made one.
A bit late, I know, but I still think it would be nice put everyone in the same topic.

Oh yes, I loved what Phillipe's quintet did to "This Town". Incredible "Indiscreet" night was at 21x21. Ron is on record as saying that groundbreaking pop hit was partially inspired by classical music. Its great to hear that such fine classical trained players can bring out the drama to the song, forever recalled through the mists of time with that powerful combo of 70s hot hard rockers.

Seriously belated gratitude must be expressed to the encyclopedic good egg Loreley for compiling such a helpful resource with characteristic clarity and thoroughness. During that fine month long musical celebration, every detail seemed impressed on my excitable mind. Yet a few meandering months later, many of those seemingly indeliable names and songs and sense of order have been washed away like tears in a sink. For the majority who haven't got Loreley's intrepid committment in seeing all of these acts, it would be worthwhile going through all these online links because there are some fine acts amongst such a varied and colourful selection.

I vaguely remember that Rod Thomas was the support for 2 of the gigs - had to step in at short notice because one of the bands couldn't appear? Can't remember which one it was now.
