Comment: Most of this is on Youtube and some marketeers are selling it online--but here it is, liberated, a Holy Grail of sorts for Ayers fans and certainly for fans of Mr. Ollie Halsall. This is likely the best Ollie on video and you get 45 minutes of him! Kevin is in fine form and of course we have John Cale scaring the kids with his kwazy version of H.H. This footage is notable for the so-called "guitar battle" between Ollie and Andy Summers on "Didn't Feel Lonely." Ollie wipes the floor with him, but don't forget that Halsall's playing for the home team here. And how about that keyboard player? Yow! Sound and Video quality are both Very Good, with all caveats intact regarding Video content of this vintage. Ye shall not be disappointed.
