Social Media Update:

Lead up to the Album:

  • All titles recorded at:-
  • Graz in Austria on the 4th April 1975
  • Saarbrucken in Germany on 5th April 1975
  • Paris in France on the 7th April 1975
  • April 7 was Ritchie’s last show with the band until they reformed in 1984.
  • Ritchie’s last show with Mark 3 was on 
  • The Graz and Paris concerts have both been released in full since but the drum solo from the Graz concert is missing.
  • It’s said that there was a lot of editing and overdubbing of crowd noise for this album.  There’s a noticeable tape loop of applause which you can notice based on the whistling of a fan.
  • The album was not released until after the band broke up in October of 1976.
  • Much like Made in Japan the shows were recorded to be able to be released post breakup so they’d have something to be able to sell afterward in case there were no more studio albums.
