I (we) inadvertently caught them quite early on at the Phoenix festival in 1997, playing Guardian Stage (which if I recall properly was a fairly small tent), I'd not realised that Tim and Roj were in the same band at the time.
My wife's boss had tickets for the festy and couldn't go so we managed to get first dibbs. Didn't stay the whole time though, as our eldest nipper was our first born at the time, and we had to head home pretty early, as she was fairly young. I then forgot about Broadcast for a couple years, but heard Echo's Answer on the Peel Festive Fifty and was hooked from thereon in.
Was a good year as I recall... https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/festive50s/1990s/1999/


Caught them another time live at the Birmingham Irish Centre on one of those Peel live shows. It was also probably the best Broadcast live performance I saw them, they were deffo locked in that night, They had these beautiful retro space/geometric graphics behind them. I'd had a few shrooms, so it was all very nice :) It was simultaneously broadcast live at the same time on the radio. I Got my missus to record it whilst I was out. Still have a minidisc of it somewhere, and I think it's probably on the web somewhere...in fact, here it is.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo7F_7Y9hoM

Keep meaning to go visit Johnns burial place/memorial in the Lake District, but have yet to summon up the courage. Listening to all the Coil last week made me realise what a loss they were. Not many artists affected me as they do. I see Johnn as our nearest contemporary to William Blake, those lyrics and atmospheres still amaze me. (Well you could include Cope too in that whole Blakeian remit, but for me, moreso Johnn).

I've yet to really appreciate the Hintermass record, there's something I just can't get into about it, ditto the new Plone album Puzzlewood. Though I think that is cos' I find it more than a little derivative of that whole Ghostbox vibe. Plone... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcyIlONlFjM&list=PLg74NPkxeRvLLRx4JFGXFtu6kIRGMHiyP
