Recorded live at The University of Manchester in Manchester, England on May 14, 1977.

One of the better recordings from the Sufi tour; still a little muffled, but at least listenable and yielding versions of all the still officially unreleased material being performed at that time. When I Get To The Border has a slightly different (and not altogether effective) arrangement, whilst First Light is sublime. The absence of Strange Affair from the set (replaced with Dargai and another, unidentified, livelier instrumental) is a bit of a shame.

Although the setlist is no more extensive than was the norm for this tour, the total running time is around 85min, so the decision to split the show over two discs was not merely an aesthetic one.
