Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the famed London theatre during a massive surge in popularity, this live performance demonstrates the Dutch band's incredible technical bravado and improvisational agility. Highlighting Thijs van Leer's yodeling flutes and Jan Akkerman's scorching guitar lines, it bridges the gap between symphonic complexity and aggressive jazz-rock jamming.
