I think I'll have to add this one too:-

On SACD ....The all time great live rock album

Don't have so many live albums but these 3 work for me :

Band of Gypsys - Hendrix, Buddy Miles, Billy Cox

The Clash - From Here to Eternity

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Between Nothingness and Eternity

Sorry, could not edit my post, so I have to add a fourth , which I forgot:

Lou Reed Rock N' Roll Animal

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live in San Francisco
Neil Young - Sugar Mountain, Live at Canterbury House 1968
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall

how could I forget this.

Munch!

I also attended the Earls Court concert. Absolutely brilliant. Bob Harris introduced the band and was booed off for his troubles as I recall. I still have my ticket and program how anal is that. I shall definitely try and lay my hands on a copy now that you have brought it to my attention.

Cheers, SteveT2

How did you guess?

Also lost sight of the actual topic!

I think my other two have already been mentioned, but it's unlikely anyone else would propose this, so I will.

This was recorded over the last two nights of the singer, Geoff Mann's, involvement with the band. He left to become a priest (very rock and roll, that) and sadly died of cancer in 1993. Twelfth Night were never quite the same afterwards. The combination of the nature of the concert, the hot sweaty and titchy Marquee environment, good sound quality, and having been in the audience make this album very special for me.

I wonder if anyone else here has ever even heard of it?

Now that is not an album I have seen in many years, although it is still probably in a box somewhere in the flat. I wonder if I would still like it, some of the other bands from the early 80's prog movement have not dated well with me.

I did see them with the vocalist after Geoff Mann a couple of times, but they were going a bit commercial by then. Sad to hear about Geoff Mann.

I actually did the artwork for the sleeve of a live album of one of their contemporaries IQ 'Living Proof'. It was released by their (ex)manager without their permission, which I did not know when I was asked to do the art. It was later issued by the band, with their own artwork. That is probably in the same box as the Twelfth Night.

IQ's ex-manager, Jim White was a nice guy though, not as ruthless as he seemed or wished to be, and without him I would probably not be working in the arts today. Managed Narazereth and Hawkwind in the 70s. I would love to meet him now and say thanks.
