Richard Sinclair
Spike & Charlie's Restaurant, Baltimore, MD
6 December 1992 - Early Show

Audience recording

From However's website (www.howevermusic.com/about.html):
"In December 1992, Pete, Stellar, and Brad joined Richard Sinclair, a prog-rock luminary from Canterbury, England, for a performance of Richard’s music in Baltimore, Maryland."

See www.youtube.com/watch?v=26ZmZxsMjSI for a partial video which Pete released on his YouTube channel late 2022.

Since no additional musicians can be heard here, this is most likely the early show which he played solo.

So the late show－with the members of However－would be this one:

Richard Sinclair - vocals, guitar, fretless bass

Recorded at Spike & Charlie's Restaurant and Wine Bar, Baltimore MD on Sunday December 6, 1992, by an unknown fairly distant taper on a very noisy cassette deck.

The cover is a still from Peter's video.

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time I've seen a quid from it.

Thanks to Joerg (Propylaen2001) for the tapes

about

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
