The second-best Shadows live album (in pretty much only my opinon), after Live at the Paris Olympia.

Apart from the fact that it features the rather rare line-up of Hank, Brian, John and Alan Hawkshaw, the presence of the tracks "Exodus" and "Putting On The Style" alone and maybe also a rare live version of "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue", makes this album a very worthwhile addition to any fan's collection.

The whole album has some high points.
Little B is superb, as is Exodus and, whatever the cost, it is worth they money for the superb Bass Playing of John Rostill. IMHO

Hear hear. This is the last Shadows recording in which John plays a major part, including compèring. His bass playing was quite different from any of his predecessors or successors and perfectly suited to the band as it then was.

I'd like some more live material featuring John, there's not a lot of live material from the mid sixties (not officially anyway).
A live album of existing shows between 1964 - 68 would be nice.
Does anyone know if the tenth anniversary show from the Palladium in 1968 was filmed? That would be nice to see.

I suspect every audio and video recording that has survived is known about and most of it has been heard, whether officially or not.
