   I liked both.   
      
   The two Hammersmith Odeon gigs I was at were excellent - great bands,   
   good solos, plenty of improv. The '88 show at the Wembley Arena was OK  -   
   the band was good and so were some of the solos (especially the encores)   
   but the venue was bigger than I like and I thought then (and still think)   
   the FZ was already noticing the cancer creeping up on him and   
   consequently wasn't at the top of his form.   
      
   I was also at the LSO concert at the Barbican Theatre after the LSO   
   sessions had been recorded, and an excellent Ensemble Moderne concert in   
   the QEH.  The Barbican concert was OK, though the encore FZ conducted   
   was, I thought, better since he managed to get a bit more life out of the   
   LSO than Nagano. The EM concert was magic - they were a very good band   
   and played the YS material with considerable enthusiasm. I'll also admit   
   to liking CP3.   
      
   I've also seen a couple of ZpZ concerts at the Corn Exchange in   
   Cambridge, which were both excellent. Its about time they came over here   
   again.
