The band broke up later in 1977. They didn't release another studio album until 1991, so this effectively comes at the end of their classic period.
The first track consists of a BBC DJ introducing the band. I cut it down, because much of it was the DJ talking about different BBC stations and programs, which isn't relevant anymore. That's why there's an "[Edit]" in the title.
All of the performances here come from the deluxe version of the band's 1977 album "Something Magic." Except, strangely, for one: "A Salty Dog" wasn't included on that release. So that song comes from a bootleg of the show.
This concert is an hour and three minutes long. I would imagine their concerts were usually longer than that, but they had to cut them down for BBC programming purposes.

Thank you very much for this wonderful PH concert. Mostly curious about the song That Old Dog with the fiddle. Very strange and not exactly corresponding to PH's usual sound. Much appreciated anyway.
