Perhaps the best document of the 1983 Richard Thompson Big Band tour, more complete than the Rockpalast show and with just as high sound quality. These shows featured one of the more unusual instrumental line-ups, with two saxophones (Pete Thomas joining Pete Zorn) and accordion (Alan Dunn) joining Rory McFarlane on bass and Gerry Conway on drums.

The mix is a little off for the first minute or so, with Richard's vocals buried beneath the instrumentation, but the problem is resolved fairly swiftly.
