A wonderful pair of concerts, both presumably sourced from FM broadcast. The Manchester gig is another Sour Grapes appearance (i.e. featuring Simon Nicol), and an alternative title for the bootleg would probably be Get on with it, Simon! The second concert is from the tumultuous US tour of '82. Essential.
