Concert Recordings

No visual-recording of the tour has been released on home video. The Christmas Eve concert at the Hammersmith Odeon was video-taped and broadcast live on the long-running BBC music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test. From 2009, the concert has been rebroadcast occasionally on the BBC. This version included a newly-recorded introduction by Bob Harris (in front of the Hammersmith Odeon) and the concert itself was slightly edited.
