The taper and his friend attended the soundcheck and returned to their hotel prior to the show.
Later, when returning for the performance, the two got lost trying to find the venue again, and
missed the first 6 songs. This lost portion is something that I really would have liked to have.
Nevertheless, we still have a newly worked out "Something Following Me", a killer "Alpha", a complete
"In Held" and a "Repent" with Josh at the Hammond (maestro Whitehorn steals this one).
Matt Pegg narrates the second verse of "In Held" --- in front of a microphone that apparently was not working.
Allen 'One-Eye' Edelist reported to BtP "his voice is very 'Reid'". Indeed, I thought it was the Keith
the first heard the recording. In his report to BtP, Allen wrote "One of my favourite gigs". I agree.
This is a personal favorite for me too. Read Allen's full report on this show here:

Finally, this reocording is a testament to the timelessness of Procol's music---of the 14 songs performed,
9 songs were written during the 1967-1969 period! All of them sound just a good today as they did 40 years ago.
