Recorded live at the University of Bristol in Bristol, England on February 16, 1979.

A slightly unusual band during the 1979 tour, with Dave Pegg on bass, Michael Oscar on drums, Sue Harris on oboe and John Kirkpatrick on accordion, concertina and dulcimer. Enjoyable, although I'd have liked to hear more from the then-current releases - Restless Highway or the title track from First Light and Civilisation from Sunnyvista, to name but a few.

Nevertheless there are a few setlist surprises - Allons Danser Colinda, for example, a cajun romp and great showcase for John Kirkpatrick's accordion. A listenable audience recording, although quite distant and with a fair amount of crowd noise.
