This must be missing a second disc with the second half of the Al Stewart show, as announcer John Brody says it's a "special 90 minute concert" and this is only 42 minutes long. The Al Stewart concert had already been broadcast by Rock Around The World on show #119, with an
additional three tracks.
In spite of the missing second disc, I'm including the truncated Stewart show, because
why not? We can consider it a sample and I'll try and track down the complete version on EBAY.
Anyway...the reason I bought this in the first place was STEVE GIBBONS. He didn't do a lot of syndicated broadcasts, especially in America, where he never had a hit. I had an LP of his, back in the day, and remember it fondly (albeit dimly!), and when I saw this show on EBAY
I had to have it.

Where's it from? I have no idea! Announcer Jim Brody says it's from "London," and there was a BBC "Sight And Sound" show recorded at Golder's Green in 1977. That show is up on YouTube, but these tracks don't match up, they're not the same recordings. That's surprising, as usually these U.S. syndicated shows are obvious copies of the BBC shows. There were three BBC In Concert broadcasts of Steve Gibbons, In Concert #166 (11/26/77), BBC Rock Hour #6 (02/09/78), and Pop Spectacular #166 (8/12/78) (according to the FABULOUS list at http://www.eclipse67.com/bbci.htm ). All of them are listed as being from "Golders Green." If any of
Our Beloved Audience has a clue where and when this was recorded, please leave a comment!
As to when? Well, there are commercials are for Natalie Cole's "Unpredictable" LP, and Bread's "Lost Without Your Love," both issued in February 1977, so that puts a limit on how old it might be.
Flac files of wavs, and a 300 dpi scan of the disc label....unfortunately, no cue sheet!
