It seems unnecessarily complicated and inefficient (for both databases) to
have to refetch all performances to check whether any have been amended.
Also I can't see the latest id shown on a performance when doing a Get for
an old id. Which query did you use? Is there a query that gives you the
amendment history of a single performance?
