Their 1978 album, Live At Last, was recorded a month or so after this show, and features the same line up.
I think there are only 2 songs from that one that are on the new one, so it's certainly a worthwhile record.
Also, most of the songs on the '78 record had not been previously recorded by the band, making it unusual for a live record.
