**PAL DVD. However, I am in the US and this plays fine on 2 out of my 3 standalone DVD players (both Pioneer players work, my Toshiba won't play it). This should have no problems on your computer, however.**

This is one hour of a show performed May 12, 1976 in London, and includes the best document of the "Rock of the Westies" band that I have seen (other than the deluxe re-issue of "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy". This was an excellent band, with too short of a lifespan. Caleb Quaye really added some "rock" to the band (check out his solo on "Hercules"). IF ANYONE HAS A COMPLETE VERSION OF EITHER THE AUDIO OR VIDEO OF THIS SHOW, PLEASE POST (or contact me)! Finally, the first minute and a half are black, with sound. The picture will come in right after "Grow Some Funk of Your Own" begins.I hope you enjoy this rarity.
