Notes

Here is Daryl Bamonte's entry for the famous Devotional Tour Diary, published in Bong magazine in 1994:

The traffic here is worse than Mexico City and the Blackwall Tunnel put together. On the way to the show, Fletch, Martin and I were told that we had a police motorcycle escort, but I don't think that anybody actually told him that he was a police motorcycle escort, and he promptly disappeared into the night. I finally had to resort to lying down in front of an Austin Seven, so its driver would stop and let us drive on the pavement. Still, we got to the gig just in time to see Kessler chasing the promoter out of the building, clutching a pair of scissors. The promoter's crime? He put up posters around the gig advertising "Smoky Joes Crisps", against our wishes. The scissors? To cut down the posters of course!

Daryl Bamonte recalled in 2025:

"We went to the Philippines and Fletch invited me for lunch and I thought it was really nice. He didn't have to do that. He sat down and he said, "I'm just so glad it's not an outsider." There wasn't a short list drawn up. It was never any question, because I know how I would have felt. He wouldn't want the tour to continue [if it was an outsider] and I wouldn't have wanted [that] if I was in his position. He was just burnt out and his wife was pregnant. They were due to have their next child and he wanted to be at home and that was really lovely of him to do. He gave me his blessing."

According to these attendees, actor Roderick Paulate was the announcer. The Rizal Underground, a local alternative band, was the support act.
