*  Steve makes a great speech at the end of T1 about 2 guys fighting
   in the front and how his band is playing peaceful music and 
   trying to raise the spirital consciousness of people.  
   Just great.  Steve is the ultimate space hippie.  Very cool.

This was Steve Hillage Band's debut concert. It took place six days 
before the release of "L".

- From Beatmag Xmas-NY 06 interview: What's the largest crowd you've ever played to? 
(Stephan Naslette, Paris)
S. Hillage: "Well, the audience at Queen's Hyde Park gig in 1976 was 
several hundreds of 1000s."

This is a historical document of the very first Hillage band concert.

There was an incomplete version which was seeded here a few years ago.
It was recorded from a 1976 tv rebroadcast (with audio din socket) so 
this is better quality.
