http://mygighistory.tumblr.com/post/37023462688 has a photo of the ticket, but no actual show review. It talks about how the concert was postponed twice. The first date (Aug. 10th) was scuttled because PS' drummer Paul Mulraney left the band, and the second date (Sept. 6th) was cancelled "as a mark of respect" because of Princess Diana's funeral.
The statement issued by Primal Scream re: the canceling of the Sept. 6th concert:
"We have no respect whatsoever for Diana Spencer or any member of the English Royal Family. We are totally opposed to the monarchy. With regard to the London shows, the Police refused to police the event which meant the council would revoke the licence. We wanted to play. The subsequent statement was issued by the promoter (Metropolis Music) and we are glad that people care enough about the band to be offended by the statement. We are."
There was another Primal Scream show at Victoria Park the following day; opening act(s) unknown.
