To this day I still think that the live version of Atlantis is the best it ever sounded. Cliff also had his best live band at that point and his choice of material was second to none. I got the LP when it came out in 1979, my only qualm is that is wasn't a double, as it could and should have been. I've since got hold of a nice bootleg recording of the entire concert (Including Wonderful Land, Little B, etc...) and this only makes me want a double album and blu-ray of the whole thing even more! Got the video, of course, but why couldn't they have left it intact? The interview footage is nice, but not when it cuts into the songs!
Come on Cliff, pull yer finger out and get hold of those 40 year old reels of film and get it sorted!
Yes, I totally agree. I remember desperately wanting to get a ticket but, at 14, was a bit too young for a night out on my own in the West End (and didn't know anyone who would go with me!!) I remember Roger Scott - the great and much missed Capital Radio DJ - playing
Apache on his evening radio show and saying, "They've still got that magic."
