Here's another one of Rory's shows recorded by the BBC's In Concert Programme during
his "I'm wearing a denim jacket with cut off sleeves now, so don't ask for crest of a wave" period.
Meaning, he played very ferocious hard edged rock n' roll and toured constantly as a three piece band.
It was the time period during which I was lucky enough to see many of his concerts, which were all exceptional.

This is of course not a complete show, but just one hour, minus Cruise On Out, which has been officially released on "BBC Sessions".
If you're a fan, you'll have this and you can just tag on the track right at the end, which will give you the complete broadcast.

Jeff's setlist includes Shin Kicker as the first track, but it is not on this recording. I have no doubt that it was played, but I'm not sure it
was ever broadcast, as this recording starts with the BBC announcer, but I'm happy to be proven wrong and a recording including Shin Kicker turns up.


Again, this show is from my old trading archives and I received it as a CDR from a trader in the UK, who recorded it off the radio at the time.
So, I think this makes it a 1st generation copy. Spectral & frequency analysis tell me it's not mp3 sourced and apart from deleting the offending
last track I have not made any changes.
I wasn't going to upload this one, as I believe it is quite widely circulated and may have been up here before, but coolruler asked for it
here yesterday and since I'm in the swing of uploading, now....

I include three different versions of artwork that I found on the net.
