This concert is from 1998, well past their prime years, but key members like Maurice White (lead singer and main songwriter) and Philip Bailey (the other lead singer) were still in the band. I'm not sure of White's role here though. Around 1996, White started showing signs of Parkinson's Disease, and only sometimes performed in concerts with the band. Perhaps someone more familiar with his voice can say whether he's singing here or not. White remained involved with the band until he passed away in 2016 at the age of 74.
The band issued a new album in 1997. But you wouldn't know it from this concert. Pretty much all the songs are hits from the band's best selling years in the 1970s and early 1980s. (By the way, if anyone knows the title of the track 6 instrumental, please let me know so I can add in that info.)
The music here is unreleased (although some grey market releases of this have emerged). The sound quality is excellent.
This album is 57 minutes long. It seems it was tightly edited by the BBC to fit just under one hour, to make an hour-long radio show time slot. There's virtually no banter or wasted time between songs.
