Great performance (were there any other sort during this time?) and acceptable sound quality given how poor a lot of these recordings can be. To be honest I much prefer the early '79 tour, with Sue Harris and John Kirkpatrick - this is much more of a conventional guitar-based lineup (with Simon Nicol, Michael Spencer and Pat Donaldson), and far less exhilarating. Still, it's a good setlist, with plenty of Sunnyvista material, and Linda's vocals are wonderful.
