Although they were certainly guilty of some lackluster moments on their studio albums, were another entity entirely when performing live. On-stage and in front of an audience, they were charged, bounding through snappy sets with phenomenal energy. This 1975 concert, recorded with a full orchestra in Leicester, England, is that pudding's proof. And, being 1975, the band covers all its hits, powering through and with an easy, breezy style that's a refreshing lift after some more forced moments on the preceding . But things get really interesting on some inspired and often off-kilter choices included in the set, as listeners hear the band break out of its cocoon. As a treat for their English audience, according to the band's between-song patter, punch up 's then-current hit, turning it into a quick-stepping -styled groover. 's combined with receives similar treatment, while the trio's rendition of classic takes first place in the oddest cover ever category. It's a wild and well-thought-out set, spotlighting where they are most comfortable and at their best.
