Album: Room Temperature Live by Peter Hammill (1990)
Genre: Progressive Rock | Style: Rock/Pop
Format: Live

Description: Room Temperature is a live album by Peter Hammill, originally released on Enigma Records in 1990. On its initial release, the album was only available in North America. It was subsequently re-released on Hammill's own Fie! label.
The album documents Hammill's 1990 tour of Europe and North America. Hammill's group for this tour consisted of Stuart Gordon on violin and former Van der Graaf Generator bassist Nic Potter on bass. There was no drummer, hence some of the songs on these recordings have a stripped down, chamber music feel. The group was briefly billed as the Peter Hammill Band.
Initial copies of this double live CD came in a longbox.
