The same show that composes this disc was filmed for the know BBC program Old Grey Whistle Test. However, the program was never officially released by the band, which has not happened with other BBC broadcasts (In Concert 1973 and other 1971/1972 that are inserted on dvd Focus - Masters from the Vaults). Possibly the program has been deleted from the archives of the BBC, and only exists in bootleg format, recorded from a Brazilian program of the late '70s. IT's a big shame, considering the quality of the live album.
