A guest 100% at Opera House, Manchester on Sun, 02 Nov 1975
It's nearly 50 years ago and I can't remember specific songs, but suffice to say that the musicianship and atmosphere created by Van der Graaf that night make this stand out as one of the best gigs I ever went to. In stark contrast to the same band at the UMIST Union building a couple of years later, when they produced the most tedious din I've ever heard!
