Late Show
The Bottom Line
New York City

First of all. THANKS to The Grape for the source tapes!

Combination of a WNYU-FM off-air reel master, a 1st gen. off-air reel and an audience cassette master. The WNYU-FM broadcast was an incomplete combination of both shows. This is the complete late show as FM combined with audience tracks where necessary and with the early show excerpt as a bonus at the end of the disc. It all sounds really good together, and the transitions between sources not too noticeable. Sound quality is all very good or better, despite a some background FM transmission noise in a few spots.

I really love the few available recordings from this tour - Chris Spedding played lead guitar and Phil Manzanera played rhythm guitar (unlike recent Roxy Music where Manzanera plays lead with Spedding's rhythm). Highly recommended for all Chris Spedding fans. If you're not yet a fan I think you will be after hearing some of the flashy guitar leads!
