This show is notable because it&#8217;s the only live document of the short-lived 2-guitar lineup. As you already know if you read the previous posts on this subject, <strong>Martin Belmont<\/strong> replaced <strong>Steve Nieve<\/strong>, who was in a serious car accident, and the result is an absolutely ripping set featuring material from his 1st 4 albums, a B-side (&#8220;Girls Talk&#8221;) and covers that he&#8217;d rarely, if ever, play again. I first heard this show on a bootleg Lp called &#8220;Something New&#8221;. A few years later, I found a cd-r called <em>The Land of Hope and Anchor<\/em>. It contains not only this entire show, but his appearance on the <em>Tomorrow Show<\/em> with <strong>Tom Synder<\/strong> in 1981 (performing 2 songs from <em>Trust<\/em>) as well as some <strong>BBC<\/strong> session tracks from 1978 and 1980. Thus I&#8217;ve decided to make it available for download.
