Notes:
We was invited by Tim Souster, who had an evening using the hall to do what we liked with. I believe he’d heard our second LP, asked us on the strength of that. He discovered us on the way to discovering Motown. Via the Who, I think. Anyway it was brave of him to invite us despite the withering contempt of the posh music establishment. Before our bit, I went out the back for a quick fag and then the doorman didn’t want to let me back in. ”I’ve got to play in there”, I said. ”you must be kidding, son”, he said, ” they only have proper music in there”. Not that night they didn’t.
(ROBERT WYATT)

Recorded by the BBC on 13th August 1970 at the Royal Albert Hall
