Songfacts®:

  • "Welcome To The Show" was the band's first German single. Written by Les Holroyd, it takes a swipe at the superficiality of the music business and of current attitudes in general. Les played "Dire Straits-ish guitar at the end"; it was played heavily by German radio but didn't chart, although it boosted album sales. >>
