A complete live TV performance of 'Hamburger Concerto', a 20 minute epic. Set against a glittering disco-style back-drop, there is no light show to enhance this musical journey and the audience are fixed in their seats like Madame Tussaud rejects, but this is all about the music, not the performance. It's a truly blistering rendition with surprisingly good sound for a TV piece reaching its 30th anniversary. Akkerman's guitar work here is pure magic, and Van Leer drifts effortlessly between his keyboards and flute during this complex but melodic opus.

There is some dispute when the concert was recorded, but one thing is for sure: great early seventies performance.
