Brooks' singing career began back in the early 1960s, but she didn't start having hit songs (in Britain only) until 1977. Once she started though, she had a bunch of them with six Top Twenty hits between 1977 and 1987, and a bunch of lesser hits. Her last hit was "We've Got Tonite" in 1987 (which is performed here). So this concert came at an ideal time to wrap up the end of the hit-making phase of her music career.
All of her big hits were performed here. Plus, she did some nice lesser known covers, like "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Goin' Back," and "Maybe I'm Amazed." She didn't release her first official live album until ten years later, and then two more in the years after that. I prefer this one.
This is unreleased, and I believe hadn't been widely bootlegged. But it was replayed by the BBC in 2025, so I was able to get an excellent sounding version.
This album is an hour and 20 minutes long.
