These shows were from a three week tour in England in late &#8217;74 to fulfill a contractual obligation to their record company. The original line-up of Darryl Way, Sonja Kristina, Francis Monkman and Florian Pilkington-Miska had broken up in &#8217;72 with Kristina recruiting all new members for their last record Air Cut. Those four reunited for this short tour. After this Kristina and Way made a couple more records with yet more new members. But back to this record. I could have saved this for Progressive Saturday with its decidedly Progressive sound and jamming. Sonja&#8217;s singing is loud and aggressive on &#8220;Marie Antoinette&#8221; while Monkman&#8217;s guitar and keyboards are featured on &#8220;Back Street Luv&#8221;, &#8220;Propositions&#8221; and &#8220;Young Mother&#8221; Darryl Way&#8217;s violin extravaganza &#8220;Vivaldi&#8221; includes a bit of &#8220;The Sailors Hornpipe&#8221; and ends with some electronic sounds (such as there was in 1974) by Monkman. An overall good record and the record itself is also in good shape like yesterday&#8217;s Ten Years After. I have another live Curved air record I bought a couple years ago. I will save that for a future Progressive Saturday,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other record I bought that day and like yesterdays it is also a live album.
