("A very happy Lou on fine form. After "Love Is Here To Stay", he announces his engagement to Sylvia.
Note also Lou's new-found patriotism, with "Star Spangled Banner" and the only known live perfomance
of "America". Remember that at this time, Americans were being held hostages in Iran" - GORDON LYON)
Lou plays live two songs from the forthcoming album "Growing Up In Public" for the first time.
Note that this is not the only known live performace of 'America'. Lou played this song at least at all 3
London, Hammersmith Odeon shows in October, too.
