This special Web Fan Club acoustic show was performed for the Web Spain by Steve Hogarth, Steve Rothery, and Pete Trewavas shortly after the This Strange Engine tour. All the tracks are stripped-down acoustic versions, and the first encore features H on solo piano performing 'Easter' and 'Cover My Eyes'. ''This concert was set as the main event of The Web Spain's second Marillion Convention. The first one, a year before, was no bigger thing than just a meeting of Marillion fans, to hear some music and play some videos. And the next one, a year later, featured the whole band playing one of the most amazing shows ever seen here in Spain (already released as FRC-012, by the way!). This gives you an idea of how the Web Fan Clubs have grown. I recall this acoustic gig as a very special one, not only because it was the first time the Web Spain was directly involved in bringing the band to play here, but also because it was an unusual line-up. H, Steve and Pete on their own managed to create a unique atmosphere; I still remember the thrill we all felt inside when H sat down at the keyboard and played Easter and Cover My Eyes on his own. Sometimes the beauty of such songs emerges when played like this, when there is nothing else to distract you. It's just the song there, naked. But what I remembered most about the show has nothing to do with the music itself, but that once the show had finished, H, Steve and Pete left the stage and spend a long time with their fans. I had the opportunity to talk with them, and I even got my Spanish guitar signed with H's drawings. That's when I realised there was no sign of "rock star ego" in those three guys, and they proved that Marillion music is deep and heartfelt, no matter how it is played.''
